Yes, it's this little thing called context, thresholds, and relative magnitude.
If your brain is only evolved to process numbers up to a hundred or two, then everything 10000+ is similarly processed through abstractions rather than your brain being able to directly comprehend and compare them.
If instead of asking a guffawing question, you actually tried to point out why my reasoning was flawed, you may have realized those basic aspects of how language and reasoning work on your own.
Being factually incorrect about literally everything you said changes nothing? Okay.
Yeah bruh, it's this little thing called being pedantic.
If I say wealth inequality is crazy, no one should have 250 billion dollars, and you say 'well actually Jeff Bezos only has 210 billion dollars', then I will be factually incorrect and my point will still be completely valid.
That changes literally nothing of what I said. Your brain did not evolve to process those scales accurately. If you think you can, that just means you're lacking in self reflection.

Because pop science articles often throw out bullshit like "blowing your nose can cause you to expel over 100 germs" because they know that 100 sounds like a big number and will get clicks.
People not questioning the actual context and meaning behind those numbers and how they connect back to something we actually care about leads to a lot of bullshit science reporting.
Lmao, bruh here thinks his brain evolved to process scales of millions and comprehend a nanometer.
Are you a special unique bro different from everyone else?
Til that OP has no concept of what a particle is or how small it is or how many of them there are in any given scenario because our brains did not evolve to process that kind of scale accurately.
~~Russia gives Ukrainians Russian citizenship and resettles them away from warzone with all the social security preserved: food, medical, shelter etc.~~ Russia murders some Ukrainians and kidnaps others and forces them to toil under their dictatorship to enrich Putin.
Ftfy.
Jesus fucking Christ do fucking better. What is wrong with you?
The joke still works fine, just replace PS2 with PS5 in your head.
Fascist? Are you fucking kidding me? You're literally just describing newspapers, broadcast news, town criers, and literally all life pre-internet.
Filter bubbles occur because we have the ability to selectively choose to only hear news we like which is a new phenomena that is a result of the internet, because it is fundamentally a messaging system, not a broadcast system like virtually every news system throughout history.
You are just falling into the American trap that personal freedom is the ultimate good and should trump everything else, even if the systemic effects of it are bad.
Reddit / Lemmy are fundamentally not a good place to read the news and get informed because of the filter bubble effect. They're a good place to go have an in-depth discussion about an article, but if you actually want to be informed then you should use an RSS reader or something else that gives you a chronological feed, not one based on what's popular amongst people you already agree with.
