I mean you can just hintun something, which is very informal but literally means put something somewhere in every case.


As a German, I can tell you the problem is that none of these translations are common here, as the whole concept of a speed bump is something entirely ungerman. In fact the first time I've ever seen them was in Mexico, and we were joking that there isn't even a word for it in Germany.

Sure, you could translate it as Bremsschwelle, but I bet your metaphor would confuse most people.


I am originally from north western Germany and they were everywhere, especially in 30km/h zones and play streets. We just called them Huckel and I never thought about an official term. I can not remember seeing any of them in Berlin though. Here they make you break by going left and right instead of up and down.


Interesting, I don't think I have seen them in Bavaria more then in exceptional cases. And even then it's just not something that is present in my head. In other countries though, like Mexico or Thailand, when I think of the roads there, speed bumps are something that I immediately think of.

It might be because they are used differently there. Like they are literally everywhere on each kind of road, so steep that you destroy your car if you ignore them. In a play zone you already have to drive very slow, so they don't bother you, but there you have to actively look for them and slow down. IMO this is because instead of having many bureaucratic traffic rules there, the bumps serve as physical traffic rules. This use case seems to be what OP is referring to in his metaphor.

When was the last time you were talking about speed bumps in Germany?


When creating the site's landing page, I had to investigate where to find speed bumps in Munich. I couldn't remember any, but it turns out there's quite a few in the end. Probably not as popular as in other European countries, though. And there's rarely a signal.


What? Where do you live in Germany? They are all over the place!


The main problem is that no one uses the word (which is already not well known) outside of the road context.


What do you call them then?


I don't really understand your concern. Why is it too late if you have received one of those messages? You don't have to open it. In fact you can delete the message unopened, while the other party can clearly see that you didn't open it.


The point is if you want to report someone for it for sexual harassment, which is exactly what it is, then the disappearing message is a problem.

You don't just ignore it. You deal with it.


There's no technical reason that disappearing messages should prevent reporting them though - not only could reports prevent deletion of the reported messages, you could have it such that the other end has to agree/set their own disappearing timeline if someone messages them with disappearing messages on.

On the topic of unsolicited messages though, I prefer to tackle the problem at the source - it shouldn't be possible to message me at all if I haven't given you an invitation to do so, and invitations should be individually revocable. (This would be a big departure from the familiar phone number model, of course)


It's a bit difficult when you use the technology to run groups of unsolicited people. There is inevitably an inclusion boundary there.

Technical reasons don't trump social and human reasons. There's a compromise somewhere.


You can just screenshot it if you need evidence of its existence for some reason.

The point is to spare the other party the hassle of having to think about their opsec after-the-fact, not to trap them in a setting they don't want.


And have a reminder of it everytime you open your pictures app? Or if you're scrolling through to show something to someone else, it's hard to mistake a penis for something else even when it's a thumbnail if that other person sees.


Yeah. I prefer my phallic reminders in the messaging application where they belong, seeing them in the picture album would just be horrifying.


... You can't see if a dick pic is a dick pic unless you open it?


The sample photos clearly give me AI vibes, maybe its better zoomed out


All of the photos are of real people (some are their actual selfies, some are their AI counterparts), that's why there aren't many of them on the landing page.


> unless you engage in massive potential copyright infringement. And nobody is going to do that


What I found interesting was that, when I tried it, the X-Ray prompt did pass and executed fine in the the sample cell some times. This makes me wonder if this is less about bruteforcing variations in the prompt, but rather about bruteforcing a seed with which the inital prompt would have also functioned.
