• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Accidental rapture⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Eve was made from a man’s rib, so in a way at first she was a clone of his flesh, XY chromosomes and all. The bible does not elaborate on how the abrahamic god made her into a woman, she was able to bear children so there was definitely a change made to the “original” masculine reproductive system, but we don’t know at what stage of her becoming a being that occured. Either way though - Adam’s rib was transed by god themself into a woman.

  now i’m wondering how all the christian terfs would react if someone said that trans women are actually the original women

  still doesn’t change the fact that that’s not a game for kids, and the adults for whom that game was made can make as many bad decisions with their money as they can afford

  i’m not in favour of gambling for children don’t get me wrong, in fact i was once a victim of it (thanks to wizard101, a game advertised as and marketed for children), but Valve just did not enage in that. if a child is playing a game that’s clearly marked “M” or “PEGI 18” then it’s the parents’ responsibility to figure out if its something appropriate for their child

  nahhh, lootboxes existed before CS:GO or TF2. and neither was supposed to be for kids in the first place! card games like MTG were one of the first mass created to use those mechanics

  you know what was supposed to be for kids, had (& still has) lootboxes galore and other predatory monetisation tactics? Wizard101 (2008)

  i don’t see many people complaining about MtG or Wizard101, but folks love to point out how Gaben did a bad thing by taking something that was already a concept (that people liked) and making it digital, whereby he accidentally created something he could never uncreate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  vegetable flavoured water? thinnest of broths? realistically, we call it nothing because what would you even do with something that’s 15% vegetable puree and 85% water? my only idea would be to add more vegetables to make it into something, or to use it as i’d use regular water to boil other vegetables or make cook pasta in it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  seems accurate. if i had bucket of water and there was a single pea and a lone noodle floating in it i sure as heck wouldn’t call it soup, or even think that its intentional

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pika Pika⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  a cheap phone today is better than a digital camera from 15-20 years ago. but neither can stand up to analogue cameras that use film. we can extract 4k video from footage shot on film in the 80’s (any film footage really, but i mention 80’s because the music video for Last Christmas available on youtube in 4k is a wonderful example)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pika Pika⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  how is it physically possible to fit a 120mm lens into a phone?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pika Pika⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  depends on your definition of novice.

  a novice that is incredibly passionate and has been absorbing knowledge and experience at a fast pace? sure

  a novice that just got a camera who’s shooting in .jpeg and has yet to hear of lightroom? (or alternative photo editing software) no

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pika Pika⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  i’m guessing it was a brain shortcut for a “digital zoom lens”

  this therefore means every gay man is old

  when non-US folks share things that are supposed to he funny and/or relatable, we usually convert our currencies to dollars as most people know how much that’s worth roughly

  fair enough

  because you expect it to taste like milk. try plant based milks without that thought in your head. it worked for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  they do indeed, and us humans invented ways to describe them with maths

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  natural laws of the universe can be described with our maths. but i’m pretty sure the universe didn’t go “ah yes, 1+2=3 i can work with that! let there be light”.

  the numbers, the symbols, the equations - they’re all human made, an attempt to describe things in a way that can be understood by us. but is this how they are? of course not. no wave or particle would describe itself the way we describe them, in fact they wouldn’t describe themselves at all - they simply are

  i’m a fan of 13 months 28 days each & would love to see more of base 20 around tbf, for some reason base 20 feels cozy to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  proton masses are rather small - inconvenient

  the distance light travels at a certain time - then it’ll just be based on our artificial units of time

  cesium oscillation i don’t know much about but from what i quickly read it’s also about keeping time, 1s to be precise, which is still an arbitrary unit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  c is pretty round (universal symbol for the speed of light)

  aside from that, nothing. as science and maths are mere attempts at describing the universe all our units are arbitrary, decided to be the way they are purely because you just need to pick something to be your reference point.

  at no point has a true non-artificial unit emerged, there is no constant size of anything that could aid in that (one contestant for that title could be the planck lenght but that’ss just incredibly inconvenient to use. "honey could you pelase move the couch 6,25 × 1034 planck lengths to the left? [1m])

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  god no do not bring back Gros Michels, artificial banana flavour is bleh

  i suppose soon we’ll have to compromise and start liking (or not) a new banana flavour though, if that banana disease gets to the current version

  bro, if we could edit the genes of foods to make them grow into huge sizes, i think we would hear from some scientific source that that’s now a possibility
