I think the science actually supports this. Studies have shown leftists tend to be more self-critical and are concerned for the nuances - the “shades of grey”. So their memes must cover more angles of an argument to be effective. Right-wing are more black and white thinking, and don’t question themselves once they make a decision. So their meme’s are straight to the point and simple (and usually so full of logic holes and lacking in comedy that leftists say: “the right can’t meme”).
Wait, is that Mark Sinclair?
Really?! I’ve never been able to find anything definitive. Just plenty of articles like this one that basically just say: “Tomatoes are gross. Craaazy right?” with no real explanation:
Oddly enough, if you cook the tomatoes, it completely takes away the bad flavor. That’s puts alot of Italian back on the menu. And parsley is fine - it just tastes like nothing.
I don’t taste parsley at all. Love cilantro. No soap flavor. Hate tomatoes. Taste like a juiced corpse. So, I’m convinced parsley and tomatoes have an associated gene.
How do you know this? Do those DNA testing sites tell you this sort of thing?

This guy fucks…cookies. (Seriously, all good points)
Your mom helped me package them last night.
Most of the packaging was removed to take the picture.
It sort of is going to them, but not entirely. The restaurant is called Jon and Vinney’s. I linked to an article somewhere else in this post about them. The restaurant has explained that they do it because the minimum wage in Los Angeles is $16.04. Basically, as a way to be dicks about it, they decided to add the surcharge to the bill to point out very specifically to their customers how much more they have to pay so they can afford to pay their staff $16.04 / hr.
In their minds, they probably feel like they are villifying the government of CA, but, as you’ve noted, most people just confuse it as “auto-gratuity” and then stiff the wait staff out of extra money they would have otherwise gotten.
For the uninitiated: https://lemmy.world/c/the_pack
“We want to charge you more, but we want to make sure you blame our wait staff for it.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if the QR code sends you to a website bitching about “the current administration”.
This isn’t an auto-grat situation though. This is the restaurant increasing their prices by 18%, then blaming it on the staff.
By not tipping, you’re just punishing the wait staff for the restaurant’s shitty behavior. Better to tip normally, then tell the restaurant you won’t be back until they get their heads out of their asses.
This is Mac for me. 14 things I can click on the left of the file explorer that show me the same exact files… sometimes in a different order.
I’m no expert in this subject either, but a theoretical limit could be beyond 200x - depending on the data.
For example, a basic compression approach is to use a lookup table that allows you to map large values to smaller lookup ids. So, if the possible data only contains 2 values: One consisting of 10,000 letter 'a’s. The other is 10,000 letter 'b’s. We can map the first to number 1 and the second to number 2. With this lookup in place, a compressed value of “12211” would uncompress to 50,000 characters. A 10,000x compression ratio. Extrapolate that example out and there is no theoretical maximum to the compression ratio.
But that’s when the data set is known and small. As the complexity grows, it does seem logical that a maximum limit would be introduced.
So, it might be possible to achieve 200x compression, but only if the complexity of the data set is below some threshold I’m not smart enough to calculate.
