I don't know. It's just that it feels really unorganic how often it comes up on Lemmy.

Especially with fake sounding "organic" threads that I know from proven social media marketing.

I could very well be wrong of course but if I had the time I would investigate this further.

All this talk about organic maps here on Lemmy does not feel organic at all.

Is there an ad campaign or something?

Equality of outcome is bullshit. Everyone should be free to choose what they want to do in life.

At least 500 years old. Everybody else is just too damn infantile and stupid.

People in Egypt, Turkey, India, Philippine, etc, etc, etc die in 29.5°C heat? That's news to me.

I love talking with kids in that phase. The raw curiosity and interest in the mundane is so refreshing.

Sometimes I feel like many adults hate to learn new stuff and even get offended by the idea. It's heartbreaking seeing those interact with inquisitive children, when they answer honest curiosity with indifference or worse anger.

The "this would never happen to me" mindset really is cancer to logical thought and reasoning.

I somewhere read (maybe it was thinking fast and slow by Kahneman?) that even psychology students learning about certain behaviors would later anonymously claim they would never fall into these patterns. But plot twist: they are also only human, so of course they also could fall into these patterns.

Another example: People that think they would never fall for a scam. If it is the right scam they will fall even more easily for it than people that know that it could happen.

"Of course it can't be a scam. Scams are obvious and only idiots fall for them."

The only AC I have access to is in the supermarket and my car.

Do you live in an area with a lot of ac?

I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It's a huge deal.

The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it's not only traditional advertising but viral and "astroturfed" advertising.

Don't change that! I need that feature for my workflow
