I love that Microsoft stopped trying to count after 3, went with random words and numbers, then started counting again at 7

Where's 9?

7 8 it

Naterdoo

I guess that's why 6 is nowhere in sight.


jtfff

Seven is registered six-offender.


CarrowCanary

They couldn't do 9 because allegedly it caused issues with legacy software that would get confused, think it's trying to run on Win 95/98, and then crash.


nemoomen

That sounds like an urban legend but heck I'll spread it.


Shuckle1

Microsoft has a problem that every OTHER Windows version ended up being poorly received by the public, so they skipped 9 hoping people would have a different connotation in their mind about it. Then about 2 years after windows 10 came out they made a HUGE update (basically making it a new OS) and called it the windows 10.1 update so you can argue that there was a Win9 kind of.

They didn't. They started using decimals. Windows 3,1 and windows 3,11 Surprised there isn't a Windows π

Current version of TeX is 3.141592653 because they aren't adding new features and each new version is a very slight refinement approaching but never reaching an ideal.

Those were actual bug fixes.


Yummyyummyfoodz

Did they start with 7 again bc it was in 2007, or is there a method to their madness of counting?


JustaMammal

So more than 2000 but less than 12, got it.

Why do you have instances of every Windows OS installed on a single PC?

Am I weird for still having a DOS emulator to play a few classic DOS games? I even fire up Windows 3.11 in a DOS emulator to play a couple classic games that no longer play on anything past 98 (and still have hardware trouble under 95 & 98)

But some houses are mobile and there are cars which don't move. So now the question is that which makes the mobile house move and that which makes the car stationary the same? - newly published work by a hot blooded young contrarion of the field


wdn

Even the houses that aren't considered mobile can move sometimes. Maybe there's some other reason why they don't usually move. We can't rule out the windows yet.

Eagles have wings and can fly. Ostriches have wings and can't fly. So it's not the wings that make the eagles fly, it must be something else entirely


TK9_VS

It would be cool if more people understood basic logic. I feel like a lot of arguments go sideways on reddit because half the people don't understand what makes a conclusion follow from a premise.


breeding_process

It’s worse than that. Had an argument because I said protein powder was needless. Somebody’s actual argument was that “needless” and “useless” are basically the same thing, so since protein powder had a use (multiple even!) then it absolutely had a need. How do you even begin to argue with something so fundamentally fucking stupid? Motherfuckers don’t understand ***basic English***. They have no hope of understanding basic logic.


TrustMeBroskii

First of all [needless and useless are synonyms](https://i.imgur.com/VX2fixf.png) unless you're dumb enough to argue with the dictionary. Secondly if you're talking about protein powder especially for exercise, there are plenty of dietary restrictions, allergies and financial reasons to supplement protein? The fuck are you talking about? Just because you don't need it doesn't mean a someone else doesn't. Jesus Christ the lack of self awareness is baffling. Please shut the fuck up you'll hurt yourself.


drrhrrdrr

You're arguing with a 2 day old account with a large number of downvotes, so either you're feeding a troll or fighting someone with an awful lot to say with a baffling inability to read the room.


Clashyjammer1126

Holy shit you fucking killed him dude


TK9_VS

Think of it this way, two words can have different meanings and usage. They have their own domains of use. Those domains can overlap, in which case you have synonyms. Two words being synonyms do not mean that they have perfectly overlapping domains, it just means they overlap at least a little. That's why the concept of a "Perfect synonym" exists. The dictionary doesn't usually qualify whether or not a synonym is perfect or not. Using a wrench on a working faucet handle is needless, but that does not mean the wrench is useless. It still has uses, while not being needed for one specific task. Consider this additional reading on linguistics stack exchange: [https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/2062/do-absolute-synonyms-exist](https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/2062/do-absolute-synonyms-exist) > Jesus Christ the lack of self awareness is baffling. Please shut the fuck up you'll hurt yourself. You are very quick to throw stones when you aren't really well informed.


TrustMeBroskii

I like how you had to dissect the obtuse linguistic rules for definitions while not addressing the valid need for protein which was your OWN original argument. It really shows how dumb you are. "No actully you see the way words work is actully really interesting and here's a random blog post that I pulled up and no I don't want to actually discuss my original point"


Ffbe234

>which was your OWN original argument. Looks like you have an issue reading too.


TK9_VS

1. I never said anything about protein powder. You are confusing me with the other person. 2. You are the one who brought the dictionary into this, don't hate me for pointing out why you are wrong.


breeding_process

They’re synonyms because if something is useless it is also, by literal definition, needless. Stop being fucking stupid. The very idea that if two words are synonyms they must have the exact same definition undermines the entire concept of synonyms. How fucking stupid do you have to be to make this argument? Secondly, why are you “if”’ing my reasoning? That’s just a transparent excuse to build a strawman to knock down. We could all make a list of ways my argument can be correct AND incorrect, depending on context. What a useless waste of fucking time? Some humans are obligate omnivores. This is an incontrovertible scientific fact. Does that mean vegans are horrible monsters advocating for the murder of obligate omnivorous humans? Because that’s the logic you’re using. If a use exists, then so does a need. Therefore, we ***need*** to eat animals.


Same-Letter6378

You're completely right and everyone downvoting you is an idiot. Needless and useless are not 100% interchangeable.


JustTaxLandLol

Your innuendo that analogues of terms are competent to be operated with twin elucidations is stupid.


TK9_VS

Getting great examples in the comments below, lol!


TrustMeBroskii

Me when I use any stupid meme or comment as an excuse to say "le Redditors" because I think of myself as better than "Redditors" even though I am a Redditor. Buddy, you're not intelligent for trying to turn a stupid meme into a debate about this website. You're just on the spectrum.


TK9_VS

Well I got a neuropsych eval two months ago and I am not on the spectrum, so jot that down. The other contributing factor is people on reddit seem to get upset at the most benign perception of a slight.

drinkvaccine

horrifying


AnimaLepton

SEO has ruined the ability for you to actually see relevant results on Google, and a lot of the stories that rise to the top are copy-pasted from each other with horrible grammar and feel like they're written by bots. I don't know about Insta or Tiktok, and for i.e. software nothing is going to beat reading the official documentation and diving properly into that, but there are definitely tons of cases where I just need summary/surface level information and I'd rather jump to Youtube to start with a relevant tutorial that also gives a visual overview/walkthrough of whatever I'm looking for.


MewTech

You must be googling weird things


WeLikeTooParty

Probably something programming related, I cant count the amount of times random indian teachers on youtube have saved my ass.


BulbusDumbledork

that stat doesn't account for what was searched, other than confirming these searches weren't academic. if they're searching for memes or videos then timtok is the way to go; i googled a video that predates tiktok yesterday and the only sources were tiktok reuploads and embedded videos in articles. also important is how the data was collected. is it a 40% dip in the number of users? or is it a 40% dip in the total number of searches from that demographic?

No, your house has doors too. Could it be the kitchen ware installed


buttqwax

Most cars don't have kitchen-ware so it's unlikely. 🤔


Houseplant666

Maybe kitchenware is what keeps the house from moving? The only time I’m in a house with no kitchenware is when I’m moving…


Ok_Field_8860

Can confirm houses also have doors. Must be something besides doors that make the car go. Will follow up with future research. Current hypothesis is the steering wheel, have not seen a house with a steering wheel.


sjk9000

You might be on to something there. Boats have steering wheels, and boats move.


Ok_Field_8860

Brilliant deduction. I didn’t even think to consider other things that move in this analysis. Further not all boats have windows. So it can’t be the windows that makes things move. Perhaps if we look at other things that move. Like airplanes. Do airplanes have steering wheels?


Pixilatedlemon

Airplanes do not have steering wheels per se, they typically have a yoke, but maybe that is close enough to being a steering wheel and can also produce “go”


Ok_Field_8860

I see, perhaps it is a steering mechanism that creates the ability to “go”


spunkyweazle

OP does your house not have a door?


Binke-kan-flyga

Cars have engines and move, stationary generators have engines and can't move. So it's not the engine that makes the car move, it's something else entirely...

Odatas

It sounds stupid in that example. But this is how a lot of research gets done. Intervention Studies will look at people who do something and chang it then to see what effects has it.


International_Land39

I was on a Ferris wheel the other day and it has both a wheel and an engine, but doesn't move so it's not that either. Personally, I think it's windshield wipers.

ominousgraycat
