Watching coverage of American politics melts your brain 100% of the time.

Base value or final multiplier? I need to know for minmaxing purposes

[-] ComradeChairmanKGB@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 9 months ago

9001% is soft cap. Not worth stacking past that cause of diminishing returns.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago

Also need to know if it's multiplicative or additive

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago

And this metric units of antisemitism, or imperial units?

[-] 666PeaceKeepaGirl@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

Assume a basal antisemitism level of 1.0. For Haley's statement to hold, we further assume that antisemitism must be continuously compounded such that the TikToker's antisemitism level is always 1.17 times its level from 1/2 hr of TikTok time ago. It follows, then, that the viewer's antisemitism level y after x hours of watching TikTok will be given by

y = y~i~ e^2xln(1.17)^

where y~i~ is the initial antisemitism level. So, assuming 1.0 as our baseline, antisemitism grows over time according to the following graph:

Note the table at left which gives the resulting antisemitism level vs. baseline for 1 hr, 1 day, 1 wk, 1 mo, and 1 yr of TikTok viewing time respectively. Whence we can see that after just 1 month of viewtime the TikToker's degree of antisemitism will have multiplied by about a third of a googol, and by 1 yr will be practically infinite.

I got so antisemitic i had an overflow error and now i'm one of those people who won't stop baking challa.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

Hate for the Israeli Government is not antisemitic, just like hate for Nikki Haley is not sexist.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

Just clicked that Isreal is essentially pulling an extended Hillary

[-] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago

But what if my resting antisemitic rate is 0%?

[-] soiejo@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago

Actually it is additive.

Use Tik Tok 30 min a day for a week and you will be 119% antisemitic.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

At that point you start getting yellow crits and hating Akkadians.

By Thursday every essay turned in to a high school English teacher is just going to be pages of nested parentheses.

[-] goose@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

It doesn't proc until right at the 30:00 mark, so you can just quit out at 29 minutes and be fine

[-] oregoncom@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Every time you... per day.

lmao. Nikki Haley perceives reality in Fourier Space.

“We really do need to ban TikTok once and for all and let me tell you why. For every 30 minutes that someone watches TikTok, every day, they become 17% more antisemitic, more pro-Hamas based on doing that.”

The Haley campaign told CNN she was referring to a story from the New York Sun, which cites the analysis of a survey posted on X. The survey showed “spending at least 30 minutes a day on TikTok increases the chances a respondent holds antisemitic or anti-Israel views by 17%.”

The survey asked respondents a series of questions about[...] whether they agreed or disagreed with statements such as “Israel has a right to defend itself” and “Hamas is committing genocide.” He cited one statement in the survey – “Israel and its supporters are a bad influence on our democracy”– as an example

In a previous debate, she clashed with her rival Vivek Ramaswamy, after he pointed out that Haley’s daughter used TikTok. “Leave my daughter out of your voice,” she said. “You’re just scum.”

I can't overstate how much I hate when people "quote" a study but make a claim the study didn't make. Those statements are completely different.

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

putting aside bogus zionist definitions of antisemitism, what a nothing fucking study. young people are on tiktok more, and young people of all religions and social media habits are less likely to be zionists. really not a mystery there, it's just the most obvious boomer-bait imaginable, just like those "50% of american youth are holocaust deniers" headlines when it's closer to 50% don't know what dachau was (because we've given up on teaching pretty much all history not having to do with the revolutionary period).

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

They actually only polled 18-29 year olds on this, like their idea was to compare young people who mainly use tiktok to young people who use insta or x or whatever. But even within an age group like that, you can easily imagine a 17% difference between, say, 18-23 yos and 24-29 yos. I imagine if they surveyed all ages you'd get a crazy ass number like 57% or some shit

[-] nightshade@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

“We really do need to ban TikTok once and for all and let me tell you why. For every 30 minutes that someone watches TikTok, every day, they become 17% more antisemitic

I'm pretty sure that by this metric you could justify banning basically every right-wing media outlet in the country.
