Thanks, sorry for being an arse. Need to be more careful about what headspace I’m in before writing anything on the internet in the future.

I’m a zoomer. I don’t fully get it. It’s funny! You ever read something and do a double take bc you thought you misread it but no, this very official print document/book etc left in a massive grammar mistake, and you laugh to yourself? A lot of zoomer memes are just silly. It’s like abstract art, you’re meant to enjoy the things that break the joke as well as those that make it work. Although, to be honest, another part of why I often don’t get these types of jokes is because they’re communal. They’re very isolated from other online cultures but often depend a little bit on reference to other jokes within the subculture.

Oh no! Another issue! I’m a jellyfish and can only respond to a limited number of stimuli at a time because I have not centralised nervous system capable of organising my critiques into diverse and disparate arguments! I can only talk about vanishingly simple problems that are one-dimensional enough for me to tunnel vision on repeating the same talking points, preferably no longer than a dozen syllables total to accomodate not having a long-term memory centre due to my aforementioned lack of a brain 🪼🥺

I am very tired and have gone absolutely overboard on this comment, to the person I’m responding to pls don’t take this personally, more rational, less sleepy me doesn’t want to be a troll. But SERIOUSLY? You’re argument isn’t even “this isn’t a problem”, it’s “I can’t see the value in doing a full deconstruction of this novel ethical scenario and just want to be a sheep saying it’s bad for the reason my favourite shepherd says so, not because of healthy discussion of ALL the pros and cons.” Reminds me of those cringe posts from a couple months ago where people were saying “the epstein files are a distraction! don’t forget about my favourite political issue {insert valid issue}”. I’m going to be a hypocrite for a second bc this long arse comment is 1,000,000x worse than yours, but consider why you’re commenting before you hit post next time.

thankfully, I can still call it gif bc the creator of .gif says jif. I shiver at the thought of jif…

From JPEG.org, jpeg stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. Ph = F, ergo JPEG = JFEG. I irrationally dislike jpeg, so I will now try to call it jfeg as some light fun. I think more people shoulda normalise calling common things silly alternate pronunciations that are still clearly recognisable as the original word, just to add the whimsy of getting to chuckle silently to yourself thinking “that’s not how that’s said!”

ye, my bad, I’ll try to edit my comment to fix it

Honestly I’m 50/50 on whether this deserves downvotes bc on the one hand, wtf, who asked? On the other, it’s c/memes, and this is a MEME

Are you perhaps thinking of fedi.tips and its sister websites? The author posts lots of guides for the fediverse.

I don’t think OP was being 100% literal

The default answer to everyone who has ever asked this question (including me last year) is to read K&R C, the 2nd edition of the original book published by C’s inventor.

I wouldn’t recommend powering from start to end like a normal book, I wouldn’t even recommend a hard copy, but it’s a comprehensive reference and the appendeces etc are good. I haven’t read much of it at all tbh but it’s nice to have. It’s still being sold but you can get it from a tonne of libraries etc. I got a pdf from a “friend”.

Otherwise, I recommend watching and following along with Free Code Camp’s several hour C tutorial. Their editor of choice is so outdated I was’t able to install a working copy, but using JetBrains Clion or VS Code or Visual Studio etc etc are all good replacements.

I’m still new to C so hopefully someone will come along who’s been doing it since the 1900’s.

The Malloc and Nick Barker YouTube channels also have some excellent C videos that you might like.

The sins of the parent are not the sins of the child. I’m sure you said this because you are hurting unimaginably more than I am (I live several timezones away). However difficut it is, I think it’s worth trying our damdest not to be pulled down into fascistic vitriol, thinking children deserve a broken life for only the blood in their veins. I oppose ICE and other similar groups around the world because their actions conflict directly and harshly with my ideals, and I sometimes start to lose sight of those very ideals when I get more and more angry at the news. I’m very glad for the few voices I’ve heard that remind me to look up and try to rise above my feelings, not in a "turn the other cheek, we can’t stop the horrors bc red tape is our #1 priority), but just in a way that reminds of you of why your fighting, so you don’t find that you’ve started fighting yourself.

(sorry for the text block, definitely full of comma splice errors)

MOTHER FUCKER WHAT HAVE YOU INTRODUCED ME TO I CANT STOP READING BUT IM MEANT TO BE WORKING RIGHT NOW AAAAAAHHHH

Don’t call me put like this just after I wake up!

Part of the reason there’s not more evidence and it’s hard to prove a causal link is because it’s next to impossible to find enough participants for a control group because of how prevalent microplastics have become in our food and subsequently our bodies. You can’t exactly run peer review observational, experimental and double blind studies on only one half (more like one third, as a causal study would need to induce change from a->b) of the required test groups. t- and p-tests also are much less valuable if the sample size is too small.
