Not enough people here on tumblr are talking about this movie but the director built the entire studio from ground up for this work of art. It's ten years of effort put in by animators, artists, and musicians. It is an ANTI-WAR film with beautiful metaphors and transitions and dialogue. It is an entirely HAND-DRAWN animated film in a country where animation didn't even have the scope before.

The themes of the movie accurately depict even the current world events and the story itself is also very sweet.

The director of this movie was very inspired by Studio Ghibli. Please please make sure to watch the movie as well as the documentary of the making of this film when it comes out in other countries because it makes you feel like you can do anything and achieve any goal no matter how impossible it seems.

ALSO, the director named Mano Animation Studios after his CAT!!!!!!

HOLY FUCK

Nobody can paint such detail, obviously OP cheated by constructing a vast, intricately carved, decorated, and weathered stone temple and then photographing it.

@andmaybegayer is there a coding language that I can use emojis instead of brackets and their many cousins?

you can probably #define some of this into C++

(Footnote: according to the C++17 standard, if you do this in a shared codebase, you are an "outlaw" outside the protection of the state, and your coworkers can murder you without consequence)

The C++ standard only allows certain specific ranges of non-ascii unicode characters in identifiers, and requires #define targets to be valid identifiers. However, that does mean that the following is valid C++:

int main(){ int Α = 1; int Ꭺ = 2; int ᗅ = 3; int A = 4; return Ꭺ; }

C, on the other hand, doesn't seem to give a 💩 about most emoji, so (depending on your compiler; I'm using clang) this works:

#include <stdio.h> #define 🕴️ main #define 🐜 int #define 🌘 ( #define 🌒 ) #define 🌖 } #define 🌔 { #define 🔞 18 #define 🌠 * #define 🖨 printf #define ⒈ 0 #define 🔙 return #define 🛑 ; #define 🥢 = #define 📝 "%d\n" 🐜 🕴️ 🌘 🌒 🌔 🐜 👨‍👧 🥢 🔞 🌠 🔞 🛑 🖨 🌘 📝, 👨‍👧 🌒 🛑 🔙 ⒈ 🛑 🌖

Oh no! What was examined?

EVERY HUMAN TESTICLE

Actually, with a sample size of 23, assuming they were selected with minimal bias, this is pretty significant evidence that micro plastics are common in human testicles.

23 is a bit low(you want 30+ for a really good sample) but *every one* has micro plastics.

Obviously, the claim that there are micro plastics in all human testicles is a dubious claim but the likelihood of getting a sample of 23 where every single person has microplastics if, for example, half the Population has micro plastics is 1 in 8,388,609.

thank you for being the one person in the reblogs with an understanding of statistics

just gonna share these tags too prev because they’re also good

Worth noting that they sourced the testicular tissue from the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator (source), so it IS in fact a poor sample for concluding that every single testicle contains microplastics - it only demonstrates the likelihood that most testicles *in New Mexico* have them.

I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be true across most or all of the world, but the gathered data in this particular study is definitely NOT a representative sample of the whole world.

Suppose you're writing some go code to control a small robot, for fun. The robot has a motorized wheels, an arm with a grabby hand for manipulating things, and an arm with a camera on it for looking at things. So your go module maybe has three separate files, wheels.go, grab_arm.go, and cam_arm.go. And it compiles just fine, and runs your little robot.

Then you send the code to a friend, who's running the same OS as you, but they can't compile it - they just get huge numbers of errors about how the code references things that aren't defined. Any idea what went wrong?

Answer: You're using freebsd on an ARM architecture, and they're using it on an AMD architecture, and it turns out that when go sees a file whose name ends _arm, it adds an implicit \\go:build arm tag so that the file will be ignored on other architectures!

I'm increasingly convinced that none of the go devs actaully thought at all about how any of its features would play out beyond what they needed at the moment for whatever project they were working on.

Huh, you can estimate the difficulty of a given sudoku puzzle by just adding up all the digits. The further from 405, the harder it is.

It's not a great method, but it does approximately work!

Unless you're doing a variant like arrow or thermo, sudoku are invariant under digit transposition - e.g. if you replace every 1 with a 9 and vice versa, you get a sudoku of exactly the same difficulty (you could also replace all the digits with nine arbitrary glyphs and it would still be the same puzzle). So I think this method is the same as just counting the number of clues and seeing how close it is to the total grid size.

I promise you, relationship anarchy is a good thing. Tell your friends you love them. Go on dates. Domme them. Take them to weddings. Have a relationship with the sub from the dungeon where she does your taxes or you mow his lawn. Help your neighbor plant begonias and become their honorary granddaughter. Become friends with your partner’s partners. Cuddle with your book club and talk about Polysecure or something, idk.

I don’t care. Just stop expecting every relationship to follow a specific pattern and instead find the beauty you both want in your specific relationship with that other person.

Life is more than the nuclear family and strict pseudo-Christian mythological ideals.

It‘s scary to see how very important european petitions get no visibility whatsoever. We had a basic income petition last year which failed because not enough people knew about it. Now we have a „tax the rich“ one that only lasts until october this year and only has around 250k out of 1 mio. signings.

Most EU people go through their every day life w/o knowing about them. There are no ads, no marketing…nothing. I know that costs money though one might think important petitions that lead to a better and progressive life would be supported by the government or ministries in some way, but nooooo

And why should they? It’s petitions that would help out the poor and middle class, but endanger capitalism and their exploitation, sooo: government and business leads for example.

So here the link for those who are interested:

Ok actually. I'm going to propose a test. It's called the "how many continents are there?" test. The question is open to interpretation, but I believe there is genuinely a most sensible answer, and that answer is six: North America, South America, Eurasia, Africa, Australia/Oceania, and Antarctica. I think that if you claim to be a rational, sensible, free-thinking sort of person, this is the only answer I will take seriously from you. Anything else and you lose your rational and free-thinking card, sorry. I think you're committing some sort of failure of practical reason.

If you combine Africa and Eurasia into Afroeurasia, you're overly pedantic. If you separate Europe and Asia, you're beholden to received ideology. If you combine North and South America, you're either overly pedantic, overly swayed by symbolic radicalism, or perhaps beholden to received ideology if you were educated in a country where combining those two is the norm. Etc. There is only one reasonable answer. There are other possible answers but none of them are reasonable. There are six continents and the wise know this.

Agreed, with the concurrence that if someone insists on a 5 continent model that Afroeurasia makes more sense than one America

I think it is fine for continents to have a socially-constructed meaning and to refer to a general idea of "civilizational-geographic groupings" and not be married to plate tectonics or oceanic boundaries or w/e. It's not like Hawaii is its own continent because it has oceans in between it and the others. Its too small to be its own; Eurasia is too big to be its own. There are seven continents. Simple as.

There are seven continents (large contiguous regions of felsic rock that float above the underlying mafic crust). They are Afro-Eurasia, the Americas, Australia, Antarctica, Zealandia, and the Kergeulen Plateau.

Terrae continentes are Antartica, Afro-Eurasia, America and Australia. Islands are not part of continents, they're like if an continent laid an egg, family bound yet distinct.

Actually the IAU met earlier and redefined things so that Australia is now grouped in with Greenland as a "Dwarf Continent".
