As far as I understand, the line gets even blurrier then that. Apparently quiet a lot of the subsections of your brain do things that can be interpreted as conciseness, but we experience it as one unified thing.

[–] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, conciseness is the ability to describe things in few words. You probably meant to say consumption.

[–] exocrinous@startrek.website 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, consumption is the process of taking in food for nourishment. You're thinking of conscience

[–] Damage@feddit.it 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, conscience is the ability to feel remorse for negative actions, you're probably thinking of conspicuousness.

[–] SwampYankee@mander.xyz 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, conspicuousness is when something is obvious to the point of standing out, you're thinking of conscription.

[–] icerunner_origin@startrek.website 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, conscription is state-mandated enlistment in military service. You're probably thinking of constipation.

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 4 points 6 months ago

No, constipation is a condition that makes bowel movements hard to pass. You're probably thinking of conservatorship.
