So something controversial sparking outrage should get upvotes instead of down votes? Statistically? Because when I disagree or dislike something I downvote, dislike etc. Is the opposite more common?

I agree with the first part, but the second while I also agree, my comment wasn’t a “stupid question” that would apply to this benefit. It was simply an observation with a false premise and an opinion expressed as a lame joke I made. I expected it to go south but it went well.

What I was asking was not why this phenomenon can be a good thing but why it would get nearly an exponentially larger amount of likes/upvotes than other posts and not downvotes instead. If they disagreed or were correcting/criticizing me, wouldn’t it follow for the comment to be down voted? I know some people view down ones as agree/disagree or like/dislike, or whether it fits the community, but logically it would seem since they expressed they didn’t like why I said in the comments, they or other readers would have downvoted me.

Unless people just wanted to bring it to everyone else’s attention, idk . The entire comment in question was a faux pas that I left unchecked and then somehow a success. Don’t really care about the “points” but it just sparked my curiosity why all of a sudden, compared to other countless times that I make similar comments, that this one was an outlier.

Meet toot!

Yes, better synonym. Bizarre and ridiculous, and also untrue lol.

Maybe OP should have used the word ridiculous instead of outrageous. Removing ribs for such a thing is ridiculous IMO.

Lol, wtf.

Firefox mobile worked for me

You have to open in your phone’s external browser. I use chrome but I am sure other would work. When I clicked on it using Boost for Lemmy and it opened in the in-app browser, it didn’t work well.

The head might be heavy but the stomach, much more.

Proton is Swiss I believe.

I do it for all free services. Like AI where you have daily limits. I thought about VPN but I don’t have the cost. It seems the only trusted free tier VPN is Proton bc they have a paid plan. I read good reviews and it didn’t seem to slow down anything noticeably.

I forget the name but I was looking for free versions of no code app builders to make a productivity app of my own and one did not have a way to sign up with any email only sign up with Google or MS. Also had to create this second MS account, triggering this captcha, originally because I was using MS designer to generate free AI images but the fast tokens run out 15 a day. So to exploit AI, I always use multiple accounts and it is an MS service. I have like 10 MS accounts now due to using up the free OneDrive storage plans.

Edit: I never connect anything to FB. Meta is the only place that knows my real name and info. (Unfortunately). I also don’t have LinkedIn.

Some services require an MS or Google sign in

I know it is a known paradoxical question lol. But it is interesting to hear those who try to answer. I asked ChatGPT this to see if it could eventually give me something but it just kept regurgitating references to the paradox.

Can an unstoppable force move an unmovable object?

I just feel jipped bc my version of the orbits and numbers were all jumbles so you couldn’t tell which orbit pertained to which number.

Much of the math I learned was memorizing steps. If it came up in real life I probably wouldn’t be able to piece all necessary info into an equation. Even a word problem is assumed to include the minimum. I am not a software engineer nor a programmer (yet) I am learning python supposedly a good precursor since my bg is in web design. The way i see it, all forms of logic while they don’t have a direct applied use in my life, serve as an exercising of my mind and can help understand inconsistencies and other logic/reasoning concepts. They are indirectly related.

A few years ago when I was in college, I would’ve been able to solve that equation probably but that information has since left my brain lol.

I am usually good at puzzles but this was hard to see on my phone. The pictures were much smaller in my version compared to the image. It wasn’t an intelligence issue, it was a vision issue. Yet, many sites still just use a check box even the bank I work for does. Bigger companies than MS use a checkbox.
