True, tiktok is amazingly good at creating bubbles. Once you’re classified you’ll never know there are other bubbles out there, there’s very little overlap.

4 x cheddar? Must be on a cheddar binge

Look I wasn’t completely serious about it, there’s no way to actually calculate something like that.
For example what’s the fraction of people that find me attractive. It could range from 0.05 to 0.5. I have no way of knowing.

I did a calculation once about my chances of finding a compatible long-term partner, inspired by the Drake Equation and using many many assumptions. The numbers are not good: ~22 out of 8 billion.

There’s also a common problem of no career path for politicians after holding some of the higher offices. It’s either be reelected or elected to a higher position. I think it’s more or less present in most countries.
It’s especially obvious with US presidents, none of them held any other office after being president. Even previous younger ones.

For half a second there I thought it was a reference to SAP Concur. But we’re talking about hard problems, not impossible ones

“Looking french” is an amazing example of this. French people can have skin tone ranging from the palest of white to the darkest brown, yet when you see them they are unmistakably French.

Well, according to chronically online Americans race is when you speak, dress, eat, and behave in a certain way

Stupid non-american question: Is any of these Kansas?

It’s a common pub quiz factoid that Kansas City is not in Kansas

There’s even more to the story, every step even more absurd than the other:

US woman caught with golden gun in luggage at Sydney airport jailed for a year
US woman backflips in court, pleads guilty to smuggling 24-carat gold gun into Sydney

A review of Goodson’s phone revealed she had searched online “can I have a gun in my suitcase?” and set a calendar entry with a note reminding her to “put gun in suitcase”.

“What about the gun in your bag?” she was asked by a customs officer. Goodson replied: “Oh yeah, I forgot about that.”

“I am scared of shooting it… I would probably just pistol whip until I got training again,” she said.

The court also heard that she previously owned two other guns while living in the States, but she had accidentally given them away. "Those guns I ended up giving away, because I accidentally left them in a donation box."

Magistrate Susan Horan said there was a strong need to deter others from committing similar offences in the future, which could only be achieved by way of a period of incarceration.

I don’t think this person would have been deterred even if others went to jail before.

Has been used in advertising for a while. Like this classic:

Nah, we’re living through the same in other countries too, maybe with some delay depending on the election time

Not sure what I ate but I just nuked my toilet. Does it count?

Sensationalist headline aside, it’s kinda well intentioned but doesn’t work. Addiction rehab camps have been tried before.

I definitely bought a lot of things because of ads. Not directly though, I don’t go around clicking on online ads even if one slips through the blocker.

Just being exposed to the idea that some product exists is an ad. Reviews and comparisons. Seeing a brand name in the wild. A product being recommended by someone I consider an authority in that specific field.
It all provenly works on me.

And I don’t really regret it, how else would I even find out what exists? Go to the store and just buy whatever the seller recommends? Did people do that in the past before mass advertising?

Edit: I just realized this is exactly what Amazon is trying to do. Push generic “amazon option” products which have no independent sales outside of the platform.

They were also banned in the 1920s. It just took a war with several million dead to discredit them. And now 80 years later they’re back, despite still being banned.

Reminder of a lesson repeating again and again throughout history: banning twitter will make them more powerful.
Legislating against it legitimizes it and gives it a boost - “why would they ban it if they weren’t dangerous for speaking the truth?”
