What's the weirdest thing you're upset about?

Came here to add this to the comment chain haha. It's never worthit.
Yep. If the video has to explicitly encourage you to watch it, just imagine how worthless it is.

I'm sick to fucking death of hearing about the quantum multiverse. It's a delusional fantasy, and even though I respect the hell out of Sean Carol, it's time for him to shut the fuck up about it and stop giving it air.
I'm tired of hearing about the quantum multiverse which is a fantasy, and I'm tired of hearing about quantum consciousness and all that other fucking horse shit.
wrote last edited by [email protected]During my quantum mechanics course in year one of uni the lecturer spent the entirety of first lecture essentially ranting about how all of these "interpretations" of quantum mechanics are a complete waste of time with zero practical application. So you're not alone on this one.
EDIT wait no lmao the course wasn't even on quantum mechanics it was on electromagnetism, the lecturer just had a personal gripe against all this quantum bullshit lol.

The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don't want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.
I'm still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I'm a gringo, I shouldn't have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.
Apparently, concrete blocks are a thing to be mad about

Hating daylight savings isn't weird, it's dumb and everyone knows it's dumb.
Timezones are arbitrary lines on the map that were made when trains were new and there was no good way to coordinate otherwise. We are way past that, everyone has an automatically synced and precise way of telling time on them pretty much at all times. The "time" is an arbitrary number. Noon is not when the sun is highest in the sky most of the year unless you live near the equator, midnight is rarely "the middle of the night", 9 to 5 should be deleted, and have one universal time would be one step closer to uniting human kind.
Timezones are fucking dumb, it's not the 1800s. I'll fight to the death over this.
I've argued for this before, both on Lemmy and elsewhere. Nice to see someone else with the same take.
Do you also get the impression that people who disagree with you almost always fail to understand the argument?

So there's this discounter chain. Their toilet paper store brand is called Happy End. Goddam it. Just writing it ticks me off. I don't understand why anyone would do that. I go out of my way to buy TP elsewhere. Am I really the only one? I can't be the only one. It's such a terrible pun. Why are they not rebranding? FFS

Bicycle drivetrains keep getting more complex and expensive. A 3x9 drivetrain is beyond adequate, bulletproof, and inexpensive. But NooOoOoOooo, it's nearly impossible to get a quality bike with 3x9 now, without a full custom, DIY build. Everything has to be 1x11/12, which is expensive, touchy, and very particular, all while still lacking the gear range of 3x9.
It all seriously sticks in my craw.
Agree with the overall sentiment: the trend towards more complexity is silly, but triples are terrible.

I understand why we have timezones, but I've never heard an explanation for leap seconds that was particularly compelling.
I know that years and days don't exactly match up, but as far as I'm concerned, whoever it is that's being inconvenienced by the Earth being a few seconds out of rotation can go figure out their own workaround instead of messing up a million peoples' daily rollup scripts.
Good news for you, the CGPM decided in 2022 to abandon the leap second by 2035.

Timezones are fucking dumb and I hate them

Absolutely, I'm probably going to do a YouTube video or a podcast or something with a friend of mine soon, this has been a multi year debate and we got into it over the weekend about it lol

When people say "We cannot do that because of GDPR/insurance". I do not know, why these two "reasons" trigger me so hard, but: you dismissed an idea within microseconds, because you ever read the GDPR or the insurance conditions? You really know all the court rulings and intricacies around those of the last decades, to know within half a second, that something is not feasible?
Really, those are just magic words which for some reason makes everybody go "yep, that must be true. We can't do anything anymore, because of insurance or GDPR. That ist how the world works".

I am glad someone fleshed out their arguments some, but I still don't agree. I think they are fundamentally missing the point. The sun position and a "time" do not, and I would argue, should not, be coupled.

This shouldn't be weird, but I'm consistently upset at how dumb the average idiot is.
It's scary how stupid most people are without even realizing it and I hate how I have to suffer for it every day.
I am stupid, but I'm one of the rare ones that knows I'm stupid.

Those plastic bags at the grocery store, to put loose fresh produce in? Why the fuck do they never open easily? With all these whizz-bang technologies we've developed, you'd think someone would design/make bags you don't have to wrestle with to open.
i don't use those bags most of the time. I just put the produce in my trolley/basket.

The root cause of what you describe is a build or maintenance issue. Properly built, tuned, and maintained bikes don't drop chains.
Lol The root cause is a 12 year old with ADHD.

Anything text editing not supporting Vim mode, especially programming context.
After breathing Microsoft for 10 years, learning Linux and then learning windows does not have a native terminal text editor I was very irked.
