  • Democracy is mathematically impossible.

    if democracy was not possible, how does it come that the greek did democracy and it is said they were once overrun in a war because of beeing democratic? if something was a cause for a turn of a war, i pretty much believe it to really exist, no matter what some kind of half baked formulars “predicted” once.

    if democracy existed and your math says thats not possible, i’ld guess your math might simply be ‘slightly’ wrong about it or was created with (un-)intentional biases in mind ;-)

    just to note:

    in the history of human predictions based on thought through and wordly/mathmatically described rules, the most common thing afterwards was, that those rules and also their predictions were just fundamentally wrong and biased.

    a system where you get served only two options to vote for but are held responsible for the outcome instead of those who limited the available options in the first place?

    eh yes, you are right, this is stupid.

    as a completely unrelated sidenote:

    “winner takes it all” is the actual opposite of democracy, no matter how the voting was done, and this fact can already be read 1:1 within those 4 simple words 😉

    <satiric acid>

    once we were looking at the night sky. suddenly just before midnight multiple deep purple coloured bright light sources appeared circling in chaotic zigzag moves above some point far away. it only lasted a few seconds but then we realized it was only light from the moon, the rising sun and some clouds that must have tricked us somehow, so we were just amused called it a day and quickly went inside to make brunch cause we were all hungry like we just came home from an exhaustive daytrip or such but news later confirmed that all we must have seen was just a weather balloon.

    </satiric acid>

    now really i had seen a huge bright light in the sky that lit up the valley as if it was day once in switzerland. turned out to be a military thing they used during some night time exercise. it was like a parachute signal rocket but white and burning really long like longer than 15minutes i think and that light also didnt move much.




  • I feel very uncomfortable

    sorry, making you feell uncomfortable was not my intention.

    I guess I could try and send them the pics and ask them about this “suspicious object”.

    i guess thats the correct way. just imagine there would actually be illegal chemicals in it and your fingerprints are on it now :o) not mentioning it to them could even create a problem then.

    on the pictures it looks rather blueish to me not greenish and the other guy mentioning meth reminded me of the blue color somewhere in breaking bad, so the idea that the pipe had been used for processing drugs got stuck in my mind 🤷 but my knowledge in this topic is rather limited to half forgotten school knowledge, common sense and movie bullshit…

    guess its nothing, but telling police about it is the right thing anyway. maybe donate them a donut or pizza if its nothing 😉



  • How would you know that green is arsenic and not copper?

    he already suggested to NOT lick it, guess arsenic would cause death upon licking, so he already mentioned how to “know” that but suggested to better stay alive instead 😉

    @ @WaterWaiver@aussie.zone : it would be interesting to know if the hole is connected right through to the barb or not, suggesting that the powdery chemicals would have to do sth with the barb, or not. then maybe suggesting some chemical processing.

    guessing chemicals by picture and observations is error prone and can be dangerous. if you want to know, send it to a lab. maybe hint it to police mentioning them the meth processing guessed earlier by @Machinist@lemmy.world maybe they’ll analyse it and tell you later what it was.
