Honestly, both these are good points.There's merit to having units that comport with lived experience, and there's merit to use of units that make unit conversions convenient. The choice is arbitrary if the units serve the purpose of why one uses the units.
That being said, both systems are obsolete with respect to a space faring civilization. Space and time can use the same units, as can mass and energy.

Yes, and that's my issue with SI.
It DELETES the traditional units of a country to impose bland conformity. It paves over their character and history.
In the US, we have the FREEDOM to use either. That is is the ideal system.
The Mars Lander didn't crash because of US Customary Units. The company that built it made no secret of that fact that they didn't use SI. The problem was some pajeet programmer at NASA who grew up in a country where he was led to believe that there could only be one set of units on the planet, so he didn't even check. Metric-chauvanism made him into a piss-poor scientist.
And anyone who can't learn there are 5280 feet in a mile is too stupid to be in the sciences anyway.

Since 2019, the SI system is the closest thing we have to Planck units. The only arbitrary constant is the caesium hyperfine transition frequency and it’s only chosen over G because gravity is a bitch to accurately measure while atomic clocks are extremely precise. Remember this post whenever an American starts saying ignorant bullshit.

>>16552955
no, no i dont think that analogy is very good.

more like you become a sex educator because you love having sex
>>
>>16552955
The analogy doesn't work on several levels.

Sex is typically enjoyed as an intimate experience between lovers, while in porn it's by definition public and usually between strangers or acquaintances. Learning can be done in private, but often involves public lectures, public libraries, etc.

Teaching often opens up learning opportunities that would be otherwise unavailable, you need degrees and these often require teaching in some capacity. Porn doesn't really open up a way to any exclusive sexual encounters, maybe with specific people, but you can fullfill just about any sexual fantasy outside of porn through prostitutes etc.

You have sex while doing porn, but having regular sex outside of porn isn't a requirement. Learning is an essential prerequisite to teaching, but you don't necessarily learn WHILE teaching.

Capitalism sells you poison to eat, drink and put on your skin. Pollution (capitalism) makes you breathe poison, eat poison and drink poison.

When something that should have been better is worse, it's always capitalism's fault.

Collapse (of a wavefunction, density matrix, or otherwise) is, as defined by the founding fathers of QM, an "act of registration of the result by the mind of the observer". If the other observers neither perceive nor learn something, there is nothing to collapse.

If evolution is true then why does male anal sex feel good? There is no known function of the male prostate.
18 replies and 2 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
Woman don't have a prostrate gland. Woman don't like anal sex. Woman's vagina makes man's penis feel good. Man protects Woman, and evolution daemons encoders encode this behavior onto human DNA. Men like anal sex, because massages prostrate and feels good. Man helps his ass fucker pal survive, and evolution daemons encoders encode this behavior onto human DNA. This explains why there are a lot more male homosexuals than female homosexuals. Male homos just hide in the closet better, because males kill other males if the ass fuckery is too overt because womyns wont mate with men who are too much into ass fuckery, as they dont like it. evolution daemons encoders encode this behavior onto human DNA.

This is genuinely something I've wondered about for years. Why the actual fuck is the prostate innervated with pressure receptors that provide afferent sexual stimulation?
>to make ejaculation feel good
Okay so why are they responding to external pressure then? Repeatedly and intensely, with zero refractory period? When this isn't even the main mechanism of orgasmic pleasure?

And then also consider that the external anal canal is innervated by the pudendal nerve specifically, despite several other sensory fibers being present nearby and perfecfly capable of innervating that, without being intrinsically hooked up to the sensations of the external genitalia

This has genuinely led me to wondering if intelligent design is true, and that God made us bisexual

Cancer.

The size of the observable universe is approximately 92 billion light-years in diameter, based on observations and calculations of cosmic expansion. However, the total size of the universe could be much larger, possibly even infinite. Scientists estimate that the universe is at least 250 times larger than the observable universe, suggesting a minimum size of about 7 trillion light-years across. The exact size remains a subject of ongoing research and debate in the field of astronomy.
