She won't drink the milk after finishing the cereal, so she goes to get more milk. --[[User:DanB|DanB]] ([[User talk:DanB|talk]]) 13:52, 14 August 2012 (UTC) | | Also, my wife has a similar problem with cereal.

| − | The explanation states that a vicious cycle is a negative feedback loop while a virtuous cycle is a positive one. Actually, both are positive feedback loops, i.e. self-reinforcing ones. Vicious means that the results are negative, virtuous that the results are positive.

| − | From the linked wikipedia page: The terms virtuous circle and vicious circle refer to complex chains of events which reinforce themselves through a feedback loop. A virtuous circle has favorable results, while a vicious circle has detrimental results. [...] Both circles are complexes of events with no tendency towards equilibrium (at least in the short run). Both systems of events have feedback loops in which each iteration of the cycle reinforces the previous one (positive feedback).

| − | There's a famous bit [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLLP1Wtrg0U some comedian did about pop tarts] being like this. You eat one pop tart as a snack; but you can't leave the extra tart, it'll grow stale. So you eat it. But now you're halfway to making it a whole meal. Might as well open another packet. You finish the second packet and now there's only one packet left in the box, which seems silly...so...—[[User:Kazvorpal|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal|talk]]) 06:04, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
