  • “Trigger”, ironically.

    Like… what will actually bring on a lot of downvotes is not just disagreeing with people (though of course it will), but doing it in a specific way. Specifically acting like you’re trying to start shit. The misogyny thing there is ringing alarm bells because if you wanted to know what the obvious and incontroversial definition was, you’d look it up and it would take ten seconds.

    The internet is full of people trolling and trying to disguise it as “Just Asking Questions”/JAQing off. Either arguing or trying to get people arguing, while having what they believe is “plausible” deniability because after all “it’s just a question bro”.

    It is rarely as hard to spot as they think.

    Grams, kilograms and pounds all measure mass. They’re just “stretched” differently by this or that factor.

    There is also a “pound” - lbf - that’s a confusingly named separate unit for force. E.g. pressure can be measured in pounds per square inch - it is a force distributed over an area, not a mass.
