Most users are in US or western Europe timezones I would guess.
Although you could say the whole planet has a bit of a heart beat. Surely there are fewer people awake when the Pacific ocean faces the sun?

My guess would be this is one of the few major bots that ramp up its posting during Prime Times. I’ve been trying to use the fediversee for almost a year now and I check post multiple times a day, everyday. The vast, and I mean upwards of 90% or more of the post in my feed are just repost bots from Reddit or news aggregator bots. I’d be surprised if more than 10% of the post generated come from actual humans. I’m sure some of the server owners could give us much more insight on this with post by IP statistics. But my guest regardless is human interaction is pretty low.
Turn off bots in your profile and then ban the two or three bots that aren’t marked as bots and your feed will improve immensely. I forget that there even are bots on this site until someone mentions it in a comment.
You can just block bot users when you see them. In my experience, it’s not a big problem.

I have the opposite impression, that’s interesting
Definitely a high presence of US users and the occassional (western) European among all.
Most of the times they represent themselve through their instance.But it’s the same as with Reddit: Mentioning a thing without mentioning a country = US.
Ah, my favorite way of trolling when I felt like it. Dispute something and eventually go “Ah, sorry didn’t know you were US specific with this” when I finally learn the revelation.
Based on that EKG, the fediverse is in some sort of v-tach and blood is not pumping efficiently enough to have a pulse

I always wondered what they use for ground when they are zapping people. Does it just go to the bed frame and out the ground wire the bed is plugged into?
Called “sympathy asystole”

Nah. Defibrillators use direct current. Unless they are covered in salt water, there is no reason for the electricity to go anywhere other than in a relatively straight line
If you have two resistors in parallel the current doesn’t just flow through one resistor. You will get shocked. That’s why you yell “clear” before juicing them.
No. You yell clear before defibrillation because of hypothetical risk. The likelihood that a person actually received a significant shock is tremendously low, and even lower if they are wearing gloves.
As a side note, you do not yell clear before juicing them. You charge the defibrillator while continuing to give cpr, and then once it is charged, you clear, analyse the rhythm, and if it is shockable, ensure everyone is clear and deliver the shock. This protocol is to minimise the amount of time the arrested patient goes without chest compressions.
TIL
Electricity doesn’t immediately know where to go. It is true that it will always take the shortest path to ground, as soon as it finds that route. This is extremely simplified.

What? No. Electricity takes all conductive paths through a circuit simultaneously, with a current in inverse proportion to the path resistance. Ground means nothing unless it somehow makes up a part of the circuit - it is neither a “sink” nor “zero” for electricity. It’s just dirt.
Electricity always needs somewhere to go. Generally you can refer to where it goes, as a “Ground” I said “This is extremely simplified” for a reason.
I don’t actually understand what you’re trying to say, all I was saying is that Electricity is indeed going to take all possible paths, until it finds the one with the least resistance, which is what I believe you said just in a different way. You are a part of that circuit for a very miniscule, brief second, upon adding yourself (touch).
A battery (or transformer secondary) has two terminals - neither is “ground”, and electricity will flow between them if a circuit is formed.
Often, one terminal of a battery or transformer is connected to a ground stake, so it’s possible for ground to become part of the circuit. But ground is not any kind of natural destination for electricity. (Other than lightning, which is a result of a charge forming between the earth and the clouds)
it doesn’t “find” the path of least resistance. It takes (flows along) all possible paths simultaneously. If you connect two wires in parallel between the terminals of a battery, one of which is thick (resistance) and one of which is thin (high resistance), current will flow along both.
You are taking my extremely simple analogy and making it complex. Good job!
Don’t upvote bad information, people.
Let’s flatten that curve!!
Like, more users and all over the globe I mean.

aww its kinda cute
This is neat to see, and also the case for every website and online game.
Sauce?
