Hey all,

I’ve been on a huge Quordle kick lately, and was wondering if we could consolidate discussion here?

If you’re not sure what Quordle is, it’s four Wordles simultaneously, published daily by Merriam-Webster:

I don’t agree with this statement. I think “intelligence”, however you define that, has fit pretty cleanly to a Gaussian distribution since the dawn of man. If anything, I think advances in nutrition, preventative healthcare, and access to information has driven pretty significant negative skew. I don’t have anything to back up this claim, but my guess would be that median intelligence has actually increased - it just may not seem as such since the population continues to rise, so the raw number of dummies seems overwhelming.

But hey, who I am to define what’s smart? Maybe an inflatable hot tub, 30 rack of Busch, RAM 1500 on an 84 month note, zero turn mower, DirecTV with Fox News and the funds to pay for it all is the real secret to a happy life. I’m just someone blabbing about nothing with a bunch of Reddit exiles.

Facts, nothing is better than getting $200 of psychedelics in a Channel bag and a free reading of your heart line.

Tarot is a lot of fun! It’s like storytelling. I think if you go into it with an idea that it’s more reflective than predictive or prescriptive it’s more enjoyable.

I’ve found most of the fortune teller people who give tarot a bad rep are really just using the storefront as a means to sell fake purses and weed.

oh no there are other answers other than this… how silly :(

The Consumer Discretionary ones are icky, but if I were the Intelligence Community, I’d want things like Cloudflare and Iridium to keep on chuggin’.

Looks good. Any noted pros/cons vs. Memmy?

Ah man, that’s kinda goofy. I have PC Game Pass and I know they’re technically different products.

Yeah, for $1 (between 9.99 and 10.99) this is just a price decoy / asymmetric dominance exercise.

Core will go away (or at least deprioritized from a marketing perspective) once they’ve successfully transitioned everyone off GfG.

I was going to say… the only times I ever used Reddit search, it just prompted me to question why I was wasting my time, then googling “xyz problem statement reddit”

If I was a VC, I would want a glut of ad-sensitive, lowest common denominator users. Think your Aunt on Facebook, or your sister on VSCO, or your young nephew on TikTok. I don’t think those people are necessarily attracted to the overall community attitude(s) currently on Reddit.

I would never call the ex-Hacker News/Digg Redditors smart. But.

Those users do have certain proclivities that make them EXTREMELY unattractive to investment dollars. Strong interest in anti-mainstream topics, including the 3Ps (Privacy, Piracy, and Pornography) doth not good ROI make. This exodus of users and elimination of features, outside looking in, seems like a misstep. I’d be skeptical.

Assuming you shot this on a phone, it’s NUTS how good mobile cameras / post-processing has gotten in the past couple years. Fantastic pic.

Probably. I write half my comments drunk, so I wouldn’t use them as a basis for ESL learning 🙃

It’s a good catch!! Apologies for any confusion.
