@tryberg@mastodon.social @infonauten@helvede.net Jeg kan forestille mig, at det er affødt af diverse reality shows, hvor de medvirkende er nødt til at dele deres telefonsamtaler, og helst også telefonskærmens indhold, med kameraet. Det er svært, når man holder telefonen som et normalt mennesker.

@niklasnisbeth@mastodon.xyz @agger@expressional.social @hunspirillen@helvede.net Enig, men alligevel lidt uenig: Du nævner, at man i princippet kan modellere hjernen som et elektronisk system. Men netop sådanne systemer er kendetegnet ved, at de har en "større" funktionalitet såsom at være en radio eller andet, afhængigt af systemets forbindelser og timing. Dette er i det mindste en abstraktionsniveau over det elektriske kredsløb. Det er vel ikke i skoven at opfatte "sind" på samme måde ifht. hjernen.

@davidculley@hachyderm.io Most countries have such lines in their national anthems. I'll readily condemn this broadly, but I can't honestly say that Germany stands out. That being said, I seem to recall yyou may be partially correct in that a later verse was altered or left out in their anthem. Have a look first at Germany's anthem then compare it with that of Denmark, though, who should be permanently banned from singing its primary ("king's anthem") altogether: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong_Christian_stod_ved_h%C3%B8jen_mast

@davidculley@hachyderm.io That doesn't sound right to me considering it remains the first line of Germany's national hymn. I don't recall learning that the verse has been banned, but then again, I haven't exactly paid much attention to that. As a Dane, at least Germany's "Deutchlandliedes" is almost pacifist compared with our primary national hymn (we have two, of which I prefer the other which describes joy and beauty) that heralds war an conquest, literally singing about bashing in the brains of an enemy.

@ErikUden@mastodon.de That sounds familiar. I was closely related to a personal friend of Hitler's (close, as in sitting at his table at a 1940s birthday party) and her SS officer son, They were genuinely nice people, and while the son deeply regretted his action, probably she remained a Nazi till the end, inlcuding keeping her Mutterkreuz on display above her TV set in her living room and crying "Deutchland über alles" at parties, complaining that Germany had not learned enough from the Nordic countries.

@MThaastrup@helvede.net @folfdk@helvede.net Jøsses, ja. Hjernerne af deres ejere har vist ikke godt af at opleve batterimotoracceleration og "flot bil"-illusionen af sikkerhed. Når jeg kører på motorvej, og en Mercedes eller Audi kommer tættere på, ender de ofte med bare at køre bag mig´i stedet(*) for at overhale. Tesla, BMW og C3 går derimod helt amok. (*) Altså ikke af den årsag, at jeg allerede kører 170, vel, men når jeg kører 115 på 130-strækning.

@MThaastrup@helvede.net @folfdk@helvede.net Selv om jeg muligvis har lidt benz-bias, så tror jeg ikke, at denne sandhed holder helt så godt som for blot 10-15 år siden. Min oplevelse i trafikken er, at Mercedes og Audi generelt kører ret pænt i disse år. BMW, derimod, er stadig næsten lige så slemme som de småbitte C3 er blevet. Sidstnævnte er som hvepse, der overhovedet ikke kan klare, at en stor bil kun kører 129 på en 130 strækning.

@SorenMRiis@helvede.net Man siger "wassårp" og giver fist-bumps ligesom politiker-Lars, og skynder sig at sige, at man er veganer og nr. 53 ud af de 72 LBQT+ identifikationer. Når de så spørger, hvad nr. 53 er, kigger man meget interesseret på dem, og siger en udgave af "sjovt, at DU lige skulle spørge". Det får dem til at gå væk, og så slipper man for yderligere social kontakt.

@randahl I like the idea of a unified Canada, UK, EU,, and Norse trade union, but cluster-B range people like Trump think like four-year-old children. He cannot foresee the consequences of his actions to the same degree as mature individuals. His brain says: "if I hit him, I win!" and cannot comprehend the situation where the opponent strikes back.

Most conspiracy theories are space grade nutty, but they are occasionally inspired by facts.

In the late 1990s, a US test pilot smuggled me into a remote Nevada military installation. There, I saw with my own eyes and up close weapons and technology whose existence the US denied. The facility was Area 51, whose existence, at the time, was also denied.

So the conspiracy theorists were right about the existence of Area 51. I didn't see any aliens or alien technology, though, just human forms.

The design was originally commissioned to a French sculptor who was asked to illusteate the triumph of religion over the genius of evil (la génie du mal). His brother created a scuplture of Lucifer for the design, but it was deemed far too sexy and alluring, tvery much Lucifer into the interesting character. The church authorities had the figure removed, and told the original designer to create one himself. He responded by designing one that was even sexier.
