Reply to ELI5 how did natural selection not beat lgbt by AmgdeG
Gays aren't infertile, and straight couples can produce gay children.
Natural Selection reinforced it, that's why it exists.

Reply to comment by unlikemike123 in eli5 How is computer memory deleted? by unlikemike123
Stuff that's "marked for overwrite" isn't counted against total capacity.
I would just like to make the distinction that memory and storage are not the same thing, memory is your RAM and storage is your hard drive.
Many people are using them interchangeably, which will run aground if memory addresses ever come up.

Back then, for every one guy on the front, there were 20+ people behind him carrying supplies or otherwise acting in a support role.
Nowadays it's more like 8 to 1.

Reply to When does an individual's death occur if the biological brain is gradually replaced by synthetic neurons? by NefariousNaz
I think it's a matter of how gradually it's done.
If you do them all at once, then you're dead and something that just thinks is you is walking around.
But if you do them slowly over a period of weeks, then that gradual transition makes the end product still you.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Mormon idea that indigenous Americans are lost tribes of Israel?
They also think the Garden of Eden is in Missouri, so I would take what they say with a grain of salt.

Reply to Why do people talk about the Heat Death of the universe as if it's inevitable? by [deleted]
Because (AFAIK) we don't yet have any good reason to presume the universe will progress any other way.
There's a finite amount of energy in the universe, and the universe appears to be continually expanding, ergo eventually all that energy would be too far apart for meaningful heat to exist.

Reply to comment by Rumianti6 in Why does everyone assume that AI will be conscious? by Rumianti6
You are implying it is some magic sauce, you just won't define it or admit it.
You need to explain why something is dumb, not just assert it and expect us to run with it. Otherwise it's assumed you're a know-nothing arguing purely from incredulity.
If we don't know (which you later clarified as one of your points), you can't draw a definitive conclusion one way or the other.
Your analogies could use some work, regardless of how "direct" you feel they are. It's okay, I'm terrible with them too.
And maybe be a little less douchey in your responses, people are trying to have legitimate dialogue and you're being a bit of a tool about it.

Some collect a pension, I'm down for free government money forever.
And yes, retirement would probably transform as a result.
