While saying, “stupid assholes there are no proper races of humans just color variations”.
Human “races” are Functionally more closely related to dog breeds than anything else, but far less extreme in variation of features.
A chihuahua is more different compared to a great dane than you are from any other ethnicity of fellow human.
Who is downvoting this??
Chihuahuas
Downvotes aren’t real. People use bots to downvote each other all the time here so why would you take them seriously?
Found the asshole who uses bots to downvote people

There is only one race.
[writes down “humans” on ballot]
I mean, in this scenario we’ve established that there’s at least one alien species as well.
But does it have subraces of the species?
(technically there are no human races in biological terms, by the way, there’s not enough difference)
False. There is also 3-legged.
In Hungary it’s a singles event.
Don’t believe this map. You don’t have to have 16+ cm to be a legend
It’s self reported, so Hungarians have the largest of one of two things.
Oh! Centimeters. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
For some reason the only 2 measurements on my mind were inches and millimeters.
mastodong map right there
We’re not playing Sons of the Forest over here.
I guess we can eliminate formula one. Seems kinda boring to me.
I’ll take F1 over Nascar any day.
Disclaimer: I’ve never sat down to watch either, but if the choices are “turn left” or “winding, twisting course” I think I’m going with the one that has more variety.
Massive F1 fan here.
It’s more of an engineering sport than a driving sport. Don’t get me wrong– the drivers are absolutely top notch and do an incredible job and it’s entertaining to watch. But since it’s sooooo engineering and development based, you cars that perform different on different tracks (cuz of elevation, temperature, track design, surface).
It’s pretty neat; worth a watch sometime!
This is like the argument that football is exciting because it’s a highly strategic sport: the most interesting and exciting things about it are happening on the sidelines in the coaches’ heads while 40% of the time nothing is happening on the field.
So if the most exciting part of the race is the engineering that went into the car, then what’s the point of watching the race? You’d be probably be more interested watching Bill Nye.
Like I said, some exciting racing. There was a photo finish (0.053) for the podium last race!
But for someone who is a nerd about it, some of the most exciting parts are Thursday and Friday when the teams show up with upgrades. Seeing it come together on a Sunday is awesome, but sometimes less dynamic.
If you want insane racing, just watch motorcycles
I know I don’t have the skills to drive one (at least not yet lol) but those things are engineering marvels.
I’ve always wanted to see one invert at speed to see if their downforce really is enough.
I can’t imagine all the materials sciences that go on behind the scenes.
Driver61 on YouTube is trying to do that exact thing! He’s still in the planning stages but it’s exciting
So much cool matsci!
The exhaust is no longer titanium (it’s inconel) because they 3D print the complicated bits of it now instead of traditional forming techniques
Isn’t all engieneering banned in F1?
I’m not sure what you’re referring to but not at all! It’s the inverse of a “spec series” (which still benefit greatly from engineering) where you get handed parts to use. Teams can design the vast majority of parts themselves and do
I’m not sure which one, but I think it is F1 where making car too good is banned.
It’s the difference between a marathon and an obstacle course.
Nascar has some really crazy shit, like building a twisted car to turn left, canting the engines to perform better in turns, making the car as flat as possible on the right to get better aero when up against the wall. They do some wild stuff with the cars, and stretching the rules or “cheating” was, and probably is, a huge part of the sport.
When it comes to the racing itself, the track layout is usually designed with top sustained speed in mind, which means that a lot of the driver’s finishing position is determined by their ability to battle it out with the other drivers, instead of their ability to optimize the course. Not to mention, that simple “left turn” is deceptively complex. Drivers account for track conditions, like foreign debris, rubber “marbles”, bank angle, and temperature, atmospheric conditions like air density, car conditions like damage, fuel, tire wear and tire temp, and race conditions like remaining laps, position and proximity to other drivers, when they make that “simple left”. Throw in make-or-break pitstops, where the car gets fuel, tires and repairs in less than 10 seconds, and the fact that almost all of this is happening at 170+ MPH, and you realize that oval racing isn’t just a bunch of hilljacks turning left, but a modern gladiator-style chariot race.
He said a race, not a racing series. Get rid of Abu Dhabi and we’re good.
Mosquitoes. Definitely those fuckers.
my answer is the same as bill burr’s, people who go on cruises, nothing of value is lost
Aliens would be really disappointed to find out we already have blue checkmarks invented and people don‘t care nearly enough about it.
Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode when people could post names of people they wanted to be killed and every day the most posted person were killed. After some time, the man behind that killed all of the people who voted for anybody.
So in that killer’s mind, wanting someone killed was the morally indefensible crime but actually killing ludicrous numbers of people is not? And he nor anyone else questioned that? 🤔
Bit of context and spoilers - He was making a statement about social media threats/harassment
The first part - using social media - whoever people vote to be killed, gets killed. Trying to show these actions have consequences. The people voting feel immune to these consequences. They just voted, they didn’t kill anybody.
He goes through 5 rounds of voting, with more votes every time. After each round, the most voted for is killed.Up to this point he’s exposing people trying to use social media to try and harm people Eventually he turns it around, and kills everyone who voted
The whole thing kicked off because his friend/romantic interest tried to commit suicide from cyber bullying. He’s pushing that these actions have consequences, even if you hide behind a screen.
The killer himself is a psycho, so the morals aren’t exactly impactful to him. As for anyone else questioning, the definitely do.
Disclaimer - been a while since I watched the episode. It’s pretty good, definitely need some suspension of disbelief (but that’s most episodes)
I get that what he’s trying to do, it’s just his actions are self-defeating. The only reason the behavior on social media has violent consequences is because he’s imposing them; no one else in that story is killing people based on meaningless Facebook polls. They only matter because he makes them matter. He causes the problems he thinks he is solving.
Also he assumes his actions will make people reconsider their choices and change, which they won’t because people for the most part aren’t capable of change. Most people don’t have the ability to do so. Those who do deliberately refuse to because they’re happy the way they are regardless of their true nature’s consequences to other people.
It’s just a stupid gimmicky show pretending to be deep to get views. That’s all.
This is how every episode of Black Mirror is. Just little interesting “what if” scenarios that make you think. In the same way that fairy tales are contrived and unrealistic these are too.
How does this make you think?
The fact that there’s some discussion going on about it is evidence of that. It’s similar to the “would you press a button for a million dollars but a random person on earth dies” type of question. “Does voting to kill someone mean your responsible for the murder if they’re going to kill someone anyways?”
I’m sorry i was just being mean to be mean. I think blackmirror is as thought provoking or interesting as the big bang theory
Behavior on social media can definitely have consequences in real life, even violent. Many shooters vere radicalized by social media groups, for example.
A fair point. The episode just doesn’t demonstrate it well at all.
Yeah people don’t think too deep about TV shows
That’s their problem, especially with a show like Black Mirror for which the whole point is to make people think
ah yes the “I’m covered in bees!” episode.
I vote for eliminating the greyhound race
Ah you mean racing. For a moment I wanted to argue that it’s more humane to eradicate pugs due to their miserable health problems.
Remove “the” and add an s to race to make it clear what you’re talking about :)
I would 100% read this book
I’m wait for the Netflix show
They will release one episode a month to milk your $99 per month introductory rate. The runtime will be 21 minutes with 39 minutes of ads interspersed.
Everyone who chose to purge the aliens are going to start a goddamn crusade
I think they would say, “Ok you all voted for synonyms of human race so lets start the killing”

As there’s only one race, I guess everyone who chose anything but none gets the human race symbol (???) tattoed on their face. Still would be fun to see who chose to have other humans killed.
Now, if the OP in 4chan meant ethnicity, that’s a different story.

The definition of “race” varies widely between different demographics and contexts. In a biological context which you seem to be insinuating, “race” is either nonsensical or an ancient synonym for species.

I legit question why people should be morally condemned for choosing to have others killed. It’s too important a survival mechanism to just dismiss with morality like that, and claiming it’s wrong violates the himan right to freedom of thought. Humans are allowed to hate each other. They’re allowed to want negative things, even to have others killed.
The premise itself is self-defeating because it uses the act of labeling people who make a choice to be targeted for violence and death to defeat the concept of doing so. Its use legitimizes the practice even to criticize it. Humans have to select other people to be targeted for violence because it’s ultimately the only effective way to regulate behavior and enforce social norms, and refusing to do so destroys societies.
People need to stop judging others on their thoughts and feelings and start focusing on their actions.
Aliens observing will think this already happened here. The chaos is real presently. I’m checking this off list of things to worry about.
The ruling class literally has been doing that for centuries…
Products and services that hide/remove that tattoo would skyrocket. Tattoo removal places would probably become super rich.
I’m willing to bet that the ayylmaos would be smart enough to think of that and make it somehow permanent like nanomachine pigments imbedded in your brain that re-emerges on the skin eventually or smthn
Can I write in “mosquitos” for extermination, or is it a multiple choice ballot?
I would pick ticks first myself. Those guys are assholes.
