  • Here's the proof: for each number between 0 and 1, double it and you get a unique number between 0 and 2. And you can do the reverse by halving. So every number in the first set is matched with every number in the second set, meaning they're the same size.

  • When you say "thank you kindly", the adverb is describing how you are thanking them, so you're basically saying "I'm being kind"

  • Hi Kindly, I'm dad.

    Wait, that didn't really work...

  • Yeah I agree. The shower thought was just that you could take it more literally.

    Jump

  • You are saying I thank you, and how I thank you is kindly (gratefully or with grace).

    This is exactly what I'm saying - "How I thank you is kindly" i.e. "I'm being kind in the way I'm thanking you"

  • Anti-AI communities might be helping AI training by filtering AI-generated content

    Jump

  • Yeah, we shouldn't let the AI companies get away with this. We should all start using AI to teach them a lesson!

    Edit: it is kind of funny to think about AI getting trained on anti-AI content and becoming self-hating (in behavior only of course).

  • Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?

    Jump

  • Yeah, from a lot of the responses I'm seeing my ignorance on the matter. I'm in a big city so it's probably very different.

  • Same

  • When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day"

    Jump

  • "Have a good day" sounds too cliche to me, at least when I'm at work. It's like saying "we apologize for the inconvenience" where it feels like an insincere, canned phrase.
