Trust the process maybe? This post is about the process of science correcting errors after all.

If they understood what made it great, maybe. They don't though, and definitely won't care to try.

I don't understand the meme. The figure is from a paper about false positive readings in MRIs, using a dead salmon supposedly thinking, and the meme is suggesting... the fish was alive?

Not much context + vague point = poor excuse for a meme.

Add the context that this is a dead salmon, then claim that salmon are immortal of something, idk.

More context:

This is a Santamartamys rufodorsalis, AKA the Red Crested Tree Rat. Only three specimens have ever been seen, and this is the first photo ever taken.

I found the original article from 2011. Species that are thoight to have gone extinct and then are rediscovered are called Lazarus Taxa, although I don't know if this guy would count since this is just the third sighting.

Don't think about the non-ant particles, it won't help.

Then translate the latin name directly. Better to have Doria's Big Three Ball than whatever a Megatriorchis doriae is. Even better, don't name something Three Ball, it's clickbait.

Even easier, pick video lengths.

<1min, 1-10min, 10-30min, 30-60min, 60min+.

I'd use that all the time.

It almost makes me think the higher ups got paid to kill Unity. All the C-suite got golden parachutes if they kill the project now.

Then I remember OGL and the fat lack of competition they had, and remember C-suite often don't know what they're actually in charge of. Malice vs stupidity and such.

I think his comment is reading way way too much into it. The comic is basically saying that "left" is willing to question authority, while "right" takes it as gospel and asks for more.

There's also the claim that criticising weath disparity while living in a very weath-centric system is somehow an endorsement of that weath-centric system.

Guy seems to just want to dump on the idea of left, so I'll leave a downvote and let him dump in peace.

Your bladder changes volume to hold urine; there's no floating, just pressure. Gravity affects that pressure though.

It is implied

Someone did the implying, and that's bad practice. You are correct that intent is irrelevant, yet you take issue with the headline being accused of intentional misinformation.

The thing about implications is that they exists regardless of your intent or your audience's comprehension. It doesn't matter if the headline is technically correct, if a significant portion of the audience leaves misinformed, that's poor jounalism. The extent to which this happens here edges into malpractice, either from ignorance or malice.

Since you take issue with the accusation, you either disagree with the claim of malice or the claim of misinformation; as you reject the former you must disagree that a headline that gives a drastically different interpretation of reality is misinformation. Am I wrong?

This is really cool, I didn't realize you could run these locally!

A bit late, but here are mine, via Bing/Dall•E 3

Tlaloc Temporal

I'm quite impressed with the colous! I guess there's enough Tlaloc art with that interpretation around. Temporal by itself seems to be technobable-y enough to make everything a mech with an unbrella in a rainy city.

This was fun, thanks for the prompt!
