    Those are some pretty easy to answer questions?

    • for the same reason a kitchen island is in the middle of a corner
    • it’s a pallet of eggs, someone dropped it there with a jig
    • it seems one side of the corner has a barrier, the pallet attemps to complete it and prevent people from going that way (a cash register might be there). Or the person dropping it wasn’t careful
    • only bleached eggs need a fridge, most of the world doesn’t bleach their eggs so they can stay on the counter.
    • why not 15? Base 12 makes sense because it’s a highly divisible number (1/2/3/4/6/12) so a lot of stuff are dozens or half a dozens, but there’s no reason eggs need to be. It likely has to do with “the packing problem” which is a difficult math problem of how to shape stuff so you fit the most in a truck load
    • other countries have other languages, and even sometimes completely different alphabets that resemble or share the same roots as English
    • you are experiencing another culture.

    I was just summing up a concept I remembered from somewhere. If we’re going to get specific about it, it’s called Weber’s Law, there’s an interesting numberphile video about it about the rate of change, and our experience with different levels of stimulus where the required “ratio” to feel a difference remains the same, which essentially means it takes more to notice the more experiences we’ve had in total. It wasnt an anecdote either, it was a metaphor for that concept / law regarding life experiences. It’s a very real thing.

    It being neurons reinforcing connections doesn’t mean there isnt a rate of change, and my example in no way implies there’s a hard drive (nor does Webers law)

    Edit: it’s also interesting because it’s the answer to the question of “how much can they shrink the candy bar before we notice?”.








  • The Cybertruck then became the right vehicle for me In 2024, a few months after my Model 3 lease ended, I knew I wanted to purchase my next car. Since the vehicle is technically for my business, it needed to be big enough for a specific tax code. The Cybertruck was the only one that fit the bill.

    This is the real joke in this story. She bought it because they rigged the tax cuts in favor of musky and the auto industry. She’s dumb though, everything she is saving on expenses she dumped on the truck.
