    I believe the term for height from base is called prominence. The highest one can climb is Denali in Alaska, at around 5500m. Obviously omitting mountains that have their bases on the ocean floor like Mauna Kea ofc.

    We totally need cute critters as flight staff in every flight. A kittyo for good behaving passengers, and a leopard to eat the faces of unruly ones.

    Christians in 1st century: the world is ending very soon!
    Muslims in 7th century: the world is ending very soon!
    Mormons in 19th century: the world is ending very soon!

    Given enough apocalyptic religions one of them would be right, but I think that religion doesn't exist yet.

The principal is the *pokok* (tree) and the interest is the *bunga* (blossoms).

    What things you discovered on your own, that is actually already known and named for a long time? For example, you observe a phenomenon, you write it down, but didn't look it up further for lack of words. Years later, you chance upon the exact same thing on Wikipedia.

    *EDIT: Thread extended to Merdeka + Malaysia Day celebrations* ## 🇲🇾 Unfurl the flags! It's Merdeka Month! 🇲🇾 Welcoming any and all submissions around both Merdeka and Malaysia Days. Let's add our mark to this long-running tradition, for future us and our children to look back on. This year's might be ordinary, it might be the extraordinary, it might be the last, for the few of us, for all of us. Only time will tell. But as I said, every mark made, every record added, counts. Enough downer talk, raise our Jalur Gemilang to celebrate that this year, it still flutters free in the wind! 🇲🇾 ### *Malaysia Madani: Tekad Perpaduan Penuhi Harapan* --- ::: spoiler ITAP PRN15 Welcoming pictures from you lemmings around today's elections. Please follow SPR officials instructions and not take photos of things you're not allowed to, most importantly your ballot papers.

    I mean, I wanted to start work on it, but if someone's already released/working on one then I'd just happily use those instead. Also, the absence of a thing usually means it's not possible to have. In my mind I think it's easy to have userscript code make API posts on behalf of the user, but maybe somehow in the intricate layers of tech it's made impossible or tedious. If so, I'd like to know before I learn it the hard way.

    I'm having my comments I made the past few days receive zero engagements. It's not just me losing the early bird lottery too; my replies to a highly engaged comment has zero likes, while several comments immediately after me has double digits. It's nothing incendiary at all, just normal people's comments. But something just tripped the enigmatic AI and thenceforth I'm shadow banned. ### Why you should know this? Because YouTube is being a thought police between creators and their communities. It feels to me like 99.999% of creators on YouTube have no idea that this is happening, that honest to goodness people's engagements are never going to reach them on the platform; they're being silently silenced, by an AI that is figuratively a black box. Look at this screenshot. If that's not damning evidence you tell me what is. |![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/YOnGDZ3.png)| |:---:| The comment is straight up gone when viewing with a logged out tab. I'm definitely 100% shadow banned right now. |![](https://i.imgur.com/OHSVC2b.png) | |:---:|
