That’s okay, I just want to hear “it’s too big”

that’s a pretty shit version of the meme, completely butchered the wording, not a single believe it or not.

For the 3 on the right side, it matters quite a bit whether you slice in direction from root to stem or cross, root to stem is much better.

Who said Lotr is sci-fi?

I used LotR explicitly to show that Star Wars is closer to that and therefore a fantasy than it is to any well-known sci-fi.

Not really, in LoTr, they have a magical sword that shines around orcs, another one that can stop a ghost sword, and there are being with biological powers beyond the grasp of our understanding.

I think you are confusing setting with genre. By your logic the star wars and star trek porn parodies are also sci-fi and not porn.

Sci-fi is only sci-fi if science plays an integral role in the story, eg. Expanse, Stargate (shows), Star trek. But these are all arguably in space, so I get your confusion, that’s the setting, shows like Black Mirror and For all mankind are also sci-fi and those are present day things.

Well actually For all mankind plays out in an alternate past where the space race continues (though I guess this is also technically in space).

Black mirror explores humanity through the lense of abusing technological/scientific inventions.

So those are science based fictions, sci-fi.

Star Wars is space fantasy, arguably if we live in an alternate universe and the original trilogy is released in the late 2000s and 2010s they could be dubbed as YA. Random teenager protagonist finds out they are indeed special and helps to overthrow an opressive regime, like Divergent, Hunger games, Maze runner

What about Stephen Hawking?

Well after making this comment i have actually looked into it, ofc Europe is leading on this thing

from google AI overview

Several European countries are implementing legislation to encourage or mandate the installation of solar panels on parking lots, especially larger ones. This is part of the EU’s push for renewable energy and energy efficiency, making use of parking areas as potential sites for solar generation.

EU Level:

• The EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) aims to make zero-emission buildings the standard and requires new buildings to be “solar-ready.”
• The EPBD promotes solar energy use in buildings and encourages installing solar panels on certain existing non-residential buildings, including parking lots.
• The EU has set deployment targets for photovoltaics, recognizing parking lots as a key area for development.
• The EU is also working on a “Solar Standard” to further drive solar adoption in buildings and parking lots.

National Legislation:

• France: Requires solar panels on existing and new car parks over 1,500 m², with deadlines for compliance.
• Slovenia: Introduced requirements for solar panel installation on new parking lots.
• Greece: Stipulates 60% coverage of large open car parks with solar panels.
• Germany: Many federal states have made solar panels on car parks a legal obligation.
• Netherlands: Has large-scale solar carport installations, including one of the world’s largest in Biddinghuizen.
• Austria: Introducing similar legislation to encourage solarization of parking lots.
• Spain: Legislation is also encouraging solar panel installations on parking lots.

I am still baffled by big stores not being required to put solar on their vast rooftops and to cover parking lots with Solar, not in the US, but you’d think there was an EU legislation about it

Eh, I think even if you missed out on subsidies, the prices just keep going down.

In order to replace all work you would need generic purpose robots, hence my line about what you are implying.

Even with all the automation we have now, people still work.

Why does it say cryptocurrency instead of pyramid scheme for the second caption?

They don’t, not in the way you are implying

You are ofc aware that even if we successfully get rid of capitalism, we can’t get rid of having to work, right?

You just can’t talk to people, period, you are just a dick, you were also just proven to be stupider than a fucking LLM, have a nice day 😀

You see, I wanted to be petty and do another dismissive reply, but instead I fed our convo to copilot and asked it to explain, here you go, as you can see I have previously used it for coding tasks, so I didn’t feed it any extra info, so there you go, even copilot can understand the huge “leap” I made in logic. goddamn the sweet taste of irony.

Copilot reply:

Certainly! Here’s an explanation Person B could consider:

The implied logic in Person A’s argument is that if you distrust code written by Copilot (or any AI tool) simply because it wasn’t written by you, then by the same reasoning, you should also distrust code written by junior developers, since that code also isn’t written by you and may have mistakes or lack experience.

However, in real-world software development, teams regularly review, test, and maintain code written by others—including juniors, seniors, and even AI tools. The quality of code depends on review processes, testing, and collaboration, not just on who wrote it. Dismissing Copilot-generated code outright is similar to dismissing the contributions of junior developers, which isn’t practical or productive in a collaborative environment.

I think it was a US uni campus, that redid the lawn and didn’t put down any walking paths and waited for the desire paths to form and then paved those

But what why would they be riding their loud motorcycles in a coffee shop?

TIL what the fuck this is called in English.
