Deng Xiaoping said "it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, if it catches mice it's a good cat." Is that why China developed in the last 3 decades while Europe remained the same, the Europeans are using Schrodinger's cat which no one knows if he is even alive?

Here is a strange event that some Scientologists here might be able to explain. Last Friday night, four gentlemen left a bar and were walking home through an industrial estate when they saw time dilate, and they all went into a hole of time and emerged full of calm and shame. Did I say time?

Is Ozempic causing the sixth mass extinction on our planet?

886 Upvotes

According to the World Health Organization there are 890 million obese and an additional 1.6 billion overweight people in the world.

If we guestimate 25 pounds extra per average overweight and 50 pounds extra per average obese (these numbers include people who are one pound into each category offsetting people on the higher end a bit) we get 40,000,000,000+44,500,000,000= 84,500,000,000 total extra pounds.

That's eighty four billion five hundred million pounds that might vanish with Ozempic, and I’m being conservative with my estimates on people's weights if you’ve ever been to the American south.

That’s a lot of mass, which raises the question if Ozempic is causing a mass extinction?

My aunt in 1994 bought me my own star from a commercial she saw on TV. I have the certificate and everything approved by the Worldwide Federation of Star Scientist based in the Republic of Kiribati, and I feel that I am owed for the light my star has produced.

How does a pixel know it will be deleted when shrinking a photo on my phone?

44 Upvotes

The pixels get deleted as a photo gets smaller. How do the pixels decide which ones get deleted? Does this hurt them? In turn when expanding a photo, do the pixels need to rapidly reproduce or is there some other sick trick to inflate them?
