But that also means that you are way less anonymous and many people don't even know that. Interactions that are typically "anonymous" (except of course to the platform owner) on other platforms like up/down voting is completely public on lemmy. Everybody can just "tap" the feed and see what you upvote and downvote - it's basically heaven for data collectors and advertising companies.

Though the phrase "prompt engineer" is so funny. Has literally nothing to do with engineering at all. Like having a PhD in "Google Search" 🤣

Wow didn't now that. I'm surprised I never heard of it, but I will definitely give it a try.

The part in the middle is a screenshot of some social media site and the blacked out parts are navigation bread crums, comment counts. The answer below has a blacked out user name, profile picture, etc.

I have no idea why they would remove UI elements from a screenshot.

Analog clocks are mechanical imitations of sun dials. Ever wondered why clockwise is the way it is? It's because the sun moved that way (on the historically a bit more dominant northern hemisphere)

My daughter got analog clocks before she could read when she was about three years old. IMHO it's a teaching skill issue. Take a normal wall clock, remove all hands except the hour hand, split the day into segments (brushing teeth, lunch, Kindergarten, etc.) and draw (did that in Gimp) some nice symbols and colors. Done. Explain stuff every time she asks "when" using that wall clock. Let that sink in for a year. Now add the minute hand back in.

Analog clocks are not really "obsolete" if you ask me. Hands on a circle aren't used enough. We have "clocks" (this time inverted - the circle spins and the hand/indicator is fixed) out of cardboards for a week to learn the days of the week, including "activity" symbols for kindergarten, "weekend", "music lesson", etc. a wheel for "day of the month", and one for month of the year also showing seasons.

The total amount of time that was invested in building those was about three or four hours but the value is huge when you have something to point to when she asks anything about time no matter it's about when we go to sleep, birthdays, holidays, etc.

Text that's not code might also work.

τ > π

Not true. You have math thank for that and there is a good reason for numbers like that (and why Babylonier used them). They are very useful to do calculations in your head, especially division because the have a lot of factors. The concept is called highly composite numbers (HCN) and superior highly composite numbers (SHCN). They are practically "anti-primes". That's why base-6 or base-12 are objectively a better number system than base-10 but it's pretty much too late to switch now.

Selling your data would be stupid, because they make money with the fact that they have data about you nobody else has. Selling it would completely break their business model.

Did you read the blog post? I also quoted the exact same thing.

This meme is specifically about the implicit multiplication because the article it links to is about that too.

But you are right there are a lot more "viral math" things than just the implicit multiplication problems 🤣
