I learned about this yesterday from a TheOdd1sOut video. The frequency illusion is real.

Was the personal computer invented by “John Computer”?

Lemmy is neither popular nor heavily advertised, so people join at a slow rate

On the other hand, the amount political discussions, Hexbear, and lack of content result in disinterested people leaving Lemmy and joining Reddit

So the user count is decreasing because Reddit refugees are leaving faster than new people are joining

People in left-hand drive countries: 😁
People in right-hand drive countries: 💀

Redirection extensions exist

libreddit also works

It’s a request, not a demand

“Unreadable” is hyperbole. I just mean it’s a pain in the ass

The censored words make this unreadable

How did you post this in the future?

Consider using the past tense

Humans mimic others speech (unconsciously) in order to fit in

No, it’s because the brain uses the speech from others as additional learning feedback when speaking, as explained in the publication. This is why young children, who have zero interest in fitting in, still develop their accents from their social environment — even if that environment changes drastically

I think this article misrepresents things. They left out the worst stuff.

The CDC’s post:

Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.²

The citation:

Why?

Edit: Thanks for the downvotes. I guess people don’t like open-ended questions around here.

And blocking someone on Lemmy doesn’t block them on Reddit. What did you expect?
