I replied to this and I’m in the Illuminati now. See ya, losers!

Technology@lemmy.world•Study Boldly Claims 4K And 8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes, But Is It True?English
2·12 days agoThis is pretty obvious due to how they had to add HDR at the same time to sell it. The HDR was a real progression, but they wouldn’t get to sell you higher res Blu-ray formats and streaming packages with just that.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•What if reincarnation is real, but you were probably plankton in your last life, so you don’t remember anything anyway?

Technology@lemmy.world•Are We Living in a Golden Age of Stupidity? - SlashdotEnglish
4·17 days agoI found the old A-Level maths exam paper that I actually did and just couldn’t remember how to do any of it. In my forties I feel like it would be much harder to re-learn how to factor and integrate quadratics, but not impossible, but mostly I don’t feel like the intense pressure of rote learning and exams when I was 18 actually got anything to stick.
So I’m pretty skeptical about any broad declarations about whether education is working or not. Almost all we can do is teach children how to think for themselves, self-teach, and critically evaluate information sources, and then hope for the best.

World News@lemmy.world•Woman fined £150 for pouring coffee down drainEnglish
11·18 days agoThey clearly only rescinded it because of the media attention. The real story is that England’s councils are now so stripped to the bone on austerity that they’re hiring roaming enforcers to enforce fines on obscure regulations and instruments to raise money.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are so many people role playing as animals?
4·19 days agoWhere is this happening?

They wouldn’t give a star to anyone in Manchester for years. It was a real point of contention. There are two now though.
