It’s not exactly like above but children are given a marshmallow and told if they wait a certain amount of time and not eat it, they will get another marshmallow and they can eat both. They can decide to eat the marshmallow right away and not get a second one. As well.

It’s a test that has a very high rate of predicting how well a person does in the future, education, life, income, happiness. Indicating people who wait for a second marshmallow do better in life.

It got famous, and when the study was done properly with actual controls and accounting for income, home life and parental trust decades later the previous results are moot. Results are entirely manipulated by how trustworthy the test giver is. So it’s meaningless now in the use I had for it, but the first study’s meaning has lingered.

But MAGA won’t pass the marshmallow test.

She might be the only country artist I listen to.

Those people were never ever her fans and were certainly not at her concert.

It’s not a backlash because those people weren’t listening to her to begin with. They just heard she was being kind and decided to act like she suddenly did something terrible. She’s been doing this from the start, nothing changed.

Her lyrics are so unique and entertaining. She feels like the first young contemporary female artist to not constantly write about breakups.

After the COVID trucker protests, the Canadian flag became a red flag.

After the ongoing Albertan separation scandal, the Canadian flag has been redeemed and the Albertan flag is a red flag.

I think you found the explanation, I like this answer.

I didn’t realize that was controversial for the general population.

It kind of looks to me like most people love sales, Amazon Prime day and black Friday.

I don’t know why they don’t find a better way to subsidize it. Like once purchased and played for x amount of hours $200 of steam credit is put on the account.

Or they get 30% off 5 games they buy in steam with the account that activated the console.

It’s worth mentioning that someone made a video game about your consciousness getting downloaded to this screen saver environment among other 90s screensavers.

The kids do all the daily cleaning, they still don’t have janitors. The school still has maintenance workers. I’m certain the large machinery would be handled by them and would be considered part of maintenance and not cleaning.

I think you are right in that the schools are smaller, every square inch of urban area feels like 15 minute city material. So everything people need in daily life is within reach, small but numerous. I’m no expert though, just a tourist who visits his Japanese friends and asks lots of questions 😅

I wasn’t expecting a Myst reference. Love me a good boardwalk though.

In school, they don’t have janitors. Because all the kids do the cleaning it takes the students about 15 minutes a day in school to clean it.

I think it’s the same in Taiwan.

I wonder if Westerners had to clean at school if it affects us on a societal level to clean like that. Or if the larger social pressure isn’t there for people to help like that.

My first time in Japan I was so confused as to why it was so clean yet there were hardly any garbage cans anywhere. You had to return your garbage to the vendor you bought your food from, and not stray far from them, or bring it home. There was the rare garbage can.

Once a week or two for me before I got my labrador retriever.

Now once or twice a day vacuum and mop of the floor by the robo cleaner 😅

Would never do it that often if I had to do by hand.

Mine definitely came in because he’s a hungry labrador and wants food or is trying to convince me to take him on a walk 😅

The comment history on this one shows a lot of weird data center sympathy and criticisms for Ukraine.

I thought they were a Russian bot but it’s more like a victim of Russian bots propaganda.

Wind turbines kill less birds than houses and any building like data centers.

Data centers are loud in sound and dangerous infrasound.

This person doesn’t even care about birds just wants a talking point against wind turbines.

I had no interest in this movie before. Now I do. Thanks officers!

So uh… By using fennec and sometimes a VPN. Am I making myself more unique and fingerprint able?

Should I be using something that sends randomised bogus data instead?

Here I thought I was private but some of these 1% figures makes it look like I’m very unique and easily tracked.

Lovely_reader doing the real investigative journalism here, I love it ☺️

So yes it’s ai slopified, but it is also a real graph that didn’t need to be slopified but was done so using AI upscaling.

So, everyone is right in a way fun twist 😅

Pretty disappointed in Lemmy not noticing and downvoting this AI slop.

I’m all for calling out bullshit IoT garbage but zoom in and look closer.

Update: op updated the photo with a non AI image that’s the same but without hallucinated text. The original graph was real and made by a human, but through memes got degraded and an AI upscaler added new hallucinated text to it. Mystery solved and fixed.

That link is broken for me.
