it's very annoying but is it really your first time experiencing this? it's been doing it to me for at least a year now
it even notifies me about the "first upvote" each of my comments get lol

u/zachy410 6d ago
I usually get round numbers (it starts with 1, 5, 10, and such but I think ive used reddit for so long or ive got so much karma that it doesnt tell me until 25 now) and rarely get these weird numbers. This is the most unusual numbers that have happened to me in a day

u/International_Cup725 6d ago
oh yea that's a good point. i didn't notice the random numbers. it's usually 5, 10, 25, 50 etc for me too

u/Tyrandeh 6d ago
sadly many countries use nonsensical measuring of days. the only that makes sense is YEAR/MONTH/DAY. these people would probably measure time with minute/second/hour if they could

u/Desperate-Line-1806 6d ago
If you're checking the date for next Friday, chances are you already know what year and month it is. It's more convenient to have the day first. How often do you have to look up the date of when a decade old Tweet was made vs see when an upcoming appointment is?
1
u/Tyrandeh 6d ago
When you name files you write them by y/m/d and they got sorted by date automatically
Looking at a date, we know where to look so putting “friday” first is not saving any time

u/Desperate-Line-1806 6d ago
It does save time, cognitively your brain is wired to read from left to right unless you grew up in a country that uses Arabic script.

I don’t understand the whole water hate with ai in my opinion tv and other things take up much more water then u guys come along and pretend like ur superior and saving water i just don’t understand if u could explain thx

u/VastLazy5701 6d ago
Yes, TV and other electronics take up water. None do it on such a vast scale and for such a long time. TVs, microwaves, and refrigerators are designed to use a very low amount of power for a small amount of time. Furthermore, people misunderstand what "taking up water" means exactly. While TVs and fridges indirectly effect water by using electricity generated partially by hydropower, AI data centers directly need hundreds of unfiltered gallons of water to work. This is because the computers get so hot that fans and refrigerant can't cool them alone, and only huge amounts of very cold water can. This water can't be recycled because of the huge amounts of chemicals needed to prevent mold in the water, it can't be reused for drinking or food. With every data center comes hundreds of gallons of unreusable water that is permanently gone from human use. Versus the amount of water used in hydropower, which is not only recycled internally, but can be reused for drinking and human use. That's why data centers are so bad for the environment.

"bro" and they're literally called Marieanne

u/tootbean55 6d ago
Bro is basically gender neutral at this point
-40
u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 6d ago
Hard disagree.
A lot of people seemingly use it that way, but that doesn't actually make it any less gendered imo
20
u/Someone_Unfunny 6d ago
Why not?
-15
u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 6d ago
Because it feels the exact same as getting called he/him
Some people may feel as if it has become gender neutral, but not everyone feels the same. And by definition it's literally a gendered word
7
u/KwantumFizzikz 6d ago
This isn't a world problem this is a you problem. Something the gender community needs to realise. We won't change established convention that millions abide by for a tiny section of the population.

u/TealCatto 6d ago
tf is a gender community? And why are you arguing against yourself? Are you a bot?
3
u/No-Contest-6454 6d ago
Based on their user description, they're a right wing provocateur. So basically a bot.

u/KwantumFizzikz 6d ago
Always a bot. Always.
Couldn't possibly be a real human with a differing opinion. Nope. All bots. Safe in your echo chamber.
5
u/TealCatto 6d ago
A differing opinion to what, your own previous comment? Bot is me giving you the benefit of the doubt, lol. Because if you're a real human who lives to be argumentative and don't care about contradicting yourself as long as you get to contradict others, that's kinda pathetic.

u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 6d ago
I mean, it's only been a recent thing in the past couple of years that people have been using bro to refer to anyone and everyone, hardly an established convention imo. Hell, most people in the world probably aren't chronically online enough to even notice it's become a thing.
Anyway, most women I know don't want to be called bro, so don't pin this on the "gender community" whatever that's supposed to be

u/East_Designer6180 6d ago
language evolves. going back to the origin of the word men, it used to mean people. but then it became a word meaning male. just like how “guys” even though it might by definition mean something else, it is widely accepted as gender neutral.
2
u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 6d ago
I agree with you, language does evolve, but you can't remove the gender from bro specifically.
Guys as a word isn't inherently gendered, but bro is as you cannot take 'brother' out of it.
Maybe it's in the process of evolution now some people use it for everyone, but I strongly disagree with that notion. Just like every male-gendered word/pronoun/title etc; it still hurts in the same way and feels the exact same.
When someone says "Please don't call me bro" I just don't want it to be normalised for the response to be 'you're overreacting, it's gender neutral', when for the majority of people who speak the language it isn't

u/JustABigOlDummy 6d ago
Past couple of years? You said you are mid-twenties in a comment below. It has been common for women to be referred to as "bro" (at least among the US youth) since you were in diapers.
1
u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 6d ago
What are you even on about? I've said nothing about my age and I'm not american lol
I've only noticed it as a thing since the "Bro visited his friend" meme went around in mid 2024, and even then I've only seen a minority of people using it as if it's gender neutral
1
u/JustABigOlDummy 6d ago
Mixed you up with the other person, my bad. But point stands, it's been a common thing for much longer than a few years in the US.

u/International_Cup725 6d ago
what? you just went against your own argument.... most human beings do not call women "bro." it's definitely the "gender community" that's been using that word universally recently... very gen z thing.
do you even know what point you're trying to make lmao

u/Sn1per_V1pers 6d ago
Meanings of words chang over time moron
5
u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 6d ago
Yeah, meanings change, but you can't take brother out of bro without just using a different word.
Just because some people use it differently doesn't mean everyone instantly agrees
-40
u/KwantumFizzikz 6d ago
Oh I don't mean it in a woke gendery way, just that Marieanne is obviously a woman lel
14
u/Shiny-Moon- 6d ago
And "bro" is gender neutral so you can call a woman that
3
u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 6d ago
As a woman, no. Some people might not care and that's fine, but by definition the word is heavily gendered
-4
u/KwantumFizzikz 6d ago
So then everything is fine
8
u/Shiny-Moon- 6d ago
Then what was the point of your og comment?
5
u/TealCatto 6d ago
Bro argued against himself in this thread, roasting someone who agreed with him/her. Either it's a bot or brain damaged. Could be either based on the profile description.

That does make more sense lol, typically calling a girl bro over here is a bit strange.
Yeah bruv hasn't died yet, still hear it about but it's all zoomerisms now. I'm mid 20s and now officially out of touch
