  • n = 40, this is junk. they couldn't even get 100 people for this?

    these were all sampled from 1 company in amsterdam. the differences could be explained by company culture, or local culture, or whatever. more work needed.

  • Emoji Rule
  • it's an example of simpson's paradox

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_paradox

    a worked example: if england/scotland/wales all use heart ❤️ 49% and use tears of joy 😂 at 51%, and then northern ireland was to use heart ❤️at 100%, you can imagine this would tip the whole uk over

    even more freaky, you could make all 4 constituent countries use heart ❤️ at 49%, make each constituent use a different unique emoji 👍😀🥰😼 at 51% each, and then the aggregate would show that heart ❤️ is still the most used across the UK

    now consider for each place on this map, they are ranking more than just 2 emojis. the map itself says that tears of joy 😂 is only scoring 5% worldwide, and that's 1st place. with margins of 5% and under to be deemed winner, it's no wonder funky effects show up

  • ok, here's the context. (click here)

    the source of this file, regrettably, is the daily mail. broken clocks and all that. i will link the "article" that the video file was from, but you will need a hazmat suit going in, for both the cookies/trackers and low quality writing

    here's that source now. (click here)

    for posters below saying they couldn't find this, i understand it. we all get different search results, it's possible you all got hugboxed and were unable to find the clip as a result

    also, i don't care to discuss the topic, i only wanted to link the source, because you were all struggling with it. i like finding sources :)

    have a nice day 🥰

  • why would future humans bother bringing all these people back

    i think it's worth reminding why doctors treat people now, in this time and space. they do it mostly because they want to save people. maybe a few do it for money, but past a certain point, the money isn't why you do it. i think it's a safe bet that doctors of a future would see these corpses as patients, and act accordingly. an analogy - think how we see heart attack victims as patients, and not how our medieval ancestors would have seen them (as corpses)

    ...literally nothing positive to contribute to the utopian future...

    true, but, a good chunk of patients in hopsital today have nothing to contribute to society, and cannot contribute any more, whatsoever. we treat them anyway, because that's what we do. humans have consistently cared for others that are sick and have "nothing to contribute" throughout history, and that shows no sign of going away anytime soon

  • Have you replaced any British words with their American versions?
  • okay, using the words listed at the start of this wikipedia article, here's where i place myself:

    analyze/center/defense/labour/organize/program

    or, British 1, American 5, Canadian 4, Australian 2

    it's a nice litmus test to see where you're at. i knew i used to skew NA in writing style, but i didn't think by that much
