Two Mate-in-two puzzles with mirrored positions
  • Im confused about why this is special? If white has mate in two, why would they not if the board was mirrored left-to-right? Couldn't any chess puzzle could be mirrored like this and have the same, but mirrored solution?

    By the title I thought it would be that both white and black would both have mate in two depending on whose turn it is which would be marginally more interesting.

  • Political mindset evolution
  • Just putting it out there that "property owning" is not the class deliniator! I "own" my house/property and the only differences are that i pay rent to a bank instead of a landlord, and i can knock holes in the walls if i want to.

    I'm still pretty much paycheck to paycheck, squarely in the working class.

  • Why do so many authors think the moon rises/sets during the night?
  • Yes but it doesnt always align with night time. Half of the time the moon is rising at the same time as the sun. Its very common for the moon to be visible during the daytime if its on the other side of the sky from the sun so we can see the light reflecting off of it

  • If you were never a "fuck cars" person, hang out near a school
  • I live less than a half-mile from my kids' school, and people ask why I walk them instead of driving... everyday I see people who live closer than I get in their cars and drive 2 blocks to pick up their kids!

    Its madness I tell you

  • Eternal fire
  • Im seriously considering getting rid of my oven and replacing it with an air fryer and portable induction hotplates.

    Only problem is that a frozen pizza wont fit in an air fryer and thats like the only thing I actually use the over for!

  • Smart home
  • Well to be fair this was literally the first printer I've ever bought, at 31. It advertised on the box that it could connect by wifi or by cord, so I expected it to come with all accessories needed for that.

  • Smart home
  • I bought a cheap printer from walmart last year and was absolutely miffed that it didnt come with a cord. No, I am not connecting you to my wifi and installing your software on my computer! Had to buy a printer cord on amazon that ended up costing as much as the printer itself...

  • Anon goes to dinner with coworkers
  • Irish people were forced to eat potatoes because they were subjugated by british lords who took everything else they farmed. When the potato "famine" happened, they were actually still producing plenty of other food, just that the British lords didnt care and still forced them to hand it over.

    Admittedly this is the extent of my knowledge on the situation, so you should look it up yourself if you want to know more.

    The "Joke" at the irish guy in the greentext is actually pretty insensitive and rude, much moreso than asking a german why he didnt order sauerkraut.

    Potatoes aren't even native to Ireland.
