Before the Trump Derangement System part, it reads like a dril tweet.
- Comment on it's what causes depression, duh 4 days ago:
Yeah, visigothone and ostrogothone.
- Comment on Don't forget to turn purple and remove your arms 1 week ago:
Yeah, you lay on your back at roughly 45 degrees off the main axis of the hammock. Throw in a pillow and a blanket and you’ve got a pretty good setup. It took me a couple weeks to train myself to sleep on my back without rolling around but after that I got used to it. I still have a camping hammock that I use on occasion but for whatever reason I usually end up sleeping on my stomach.
- Comment on Don't forget to turn purple and remove your arms 1 week ago:
It’s a common misconception! You’re supposed to lay at an angle and you end up with just a slight bend.
- Comment on Don't forget to turn purple and remove your arms 1 week ago:
This is why hammocks are the ideal sleep system, even if they may not turn you purple or solve the arm problem.

'splains why the Kiwis aren’t even on the map: the whole country got vaporized when they reached critical autism concentration.

Autism is caused by (squints) the Welsh.
- Comment on Penis Party 2 weeks ago:
The writers decided to grow with their audience but a misunderstanding with some survey data led them to believe the majority of their viewership was coming from early 20th century Germany.

And not a moment too soon
- Comment on Penis Party 2 weeks ago:
In Dora: A Case History, Freud assumes that the teenage daughter’s reaction to being used as a bargaining chip by her dad so he can pursue an affair with his colleague’s wife is the product of some deep-seated mental illness.
- Comment on Should Neutron Stars be Added to the Periodic Table? 2 weeks ago:
This collapse generates a body of neutron-removed matter with a radius as small as 10 km, but a mass comparable to our Sun’s. As such, they are the densest known material outside of Twitter, at around 1017 kg/m3. For American readers unfamiliar with SI units, that means a pair of truck-nuts made of neutron star would weigh as much as ten million aircraft carriers.

- Comment on Plants looking at people looking at people looking at fungi 3 weeks ago:
Mycologists are fine, it’s the fan club that gets weird.
- Comment on All while the skeletal, crumbling, dusty bones of an econ major pulls business backwards into hell. 1 month ago:
We gotta have an economy to function as a society but rub of economics in the West is that if it acknowledged why the economy functions the way it does, it would be peeling the facade off our supposedly democratic system of governance and folks would start taking a much keener interest in why wealth is getting so concentrated. We can’t have that, so instead we get increasingly elaborate versions of economic Lamarckism and the field’s Darwins are ostracized as cranks. specter

If you’re gonna be a lumper you might as well go all the way
- Comment on i just think they're neat 1 month ago:
The large number of recipes on the internet seems to suggest that they are actually edible, though?
- Comment on Resources 2 months ago:
The syllogism P (you read something) then Q (you learn something) presumes a) you can process information contained within the written word and b) you have the capability of learning. While not conclusively falsified by these exchange, a postpostivist interpretation suggests that the preponderance of the evidence rests with the counterfactual. No need for P to actually take place. Thanks for playing, best of luck in your future endeavors.
- Comment on Resources 2 months ago:
You’re not really considering the article in the context of what it’s arguing against, which is the implicit position of the World Bank that someone is not “poor” if they’re living on the equivalent of over $3.00 per day (as of 2025). The standard that Hickel et al. are proposing, while low by Western standards, is still much higher than what billions of people are currently experiencing.
- Comment on Resources 2 months ago:
My position was that you might actually learn something if you read the article, but I think you’ve provided sufficient evidence that I was wrong.
- Comment on Resources 2 months ago:
Nope, guess you’re going to have to read it yourself to find out if they’re assuming instant, frictionless transport of goods.

It’s not my job to read papers for you. You don’t get free labor
- Comment on Resources 2 months ago:
Because it would be a more efficient way to understand their actual methodology than posting random guesses on a comment thread?
- Comment on Resources 2 months ago:
Maybe you should read the paper and find out.
- Comment on Resources 2 months ago:
The bulk of labor under capitalism goes toward maintaining conditions of artificial scarcity, not supporting wellbeing.
- Comment on Antz in my Pantz 2 months ago:
Any explanation for why there was similar convergent evolution toward goofy names? C’mon, numbat, mongoose, sloth bear, aardvark, pangolin, echidna? No way that’s coincidence.

You are, just not in the part of the spectrum visible to humans
- Comment on Contributions 3 months ago:
I feel like a more common reaction is “Finally I am rid of this terrible burden that I took on in my naivete. It is riddled with errors that the cruel arrow of time prevents me from rectifying. May I be lucky enough to get a publication or two out of it and then finally be rid of it forever” but maybe I’m speaking too close to my own experience.

I’d say we had a good run but we really didn’t.
- Comment on Carnivory in Plants 3 months ago:
Not really seeing the niche overlap there, as most carnivores are small, shallow rooted, and herbaceous. Gingkos are relicts, conifers tend to be woody, deep-rooted, and can’t grow in pure peat, so there’s probably less pressure to solve nitrogen deficiency. That leaves cycads, which do grow in swampy soils, but they haven’t changed a whole lot in tens of millions of years.
