  I’ve been in one car accident in my life (my fault) and it shook me up, I remember searching “how long until self driving cars.” But I got over it, next day I was back behind the wheel. As other people have said, it’s a necessary life skill for most people in North America and it does get much easier with experience and time.

  I get that in a perfect society you shouldn’t need to learn to drive, but that ignores the fact that if you want to be able to function in society most people in NA need to be able to drive (unless you live in one of the handful of cities with excellent mass transit). It’s a bit like saying nobody should be forced to work for a living and then being homeless.

  Can you actually get a degree in rocket science? I feel like the closest would be aerospace engineering.

  Look I don’t like Musk either but even starting off wealthy becoming the richest man in the world takes some doing. He was way ahead of the curve on reusable rockets and EVs and succeed there where a bunch of people failed. I think where he fails is when it comes to protecting his image and maintaining relationships. He’s a thin-skinned narcissist who thinks he’s humanity’s savoir and eventually that got to him.

  Still messes up your lungs though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discovers cigarettes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah from what I’ve heard that feeling never goes away. I remember someone who quit smoking telling me how good secondhand smoke smells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discovers cigarettes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically why I am extremely hesitant to try most drugs. Either I don’t like it, or I DO like and and want to keep trying it… either way the odds of it being a good thing for me long term are pretty sketchy.

  Yeah I found that to be pretty annoying as well when I started. I don’t mind the occasional political post but it’s the same handful of talking points again and again so it gets old fast. I recommend just blocking users and blocking communities; you’d be surprised how quickly that clears them out. Lemmy is small enough that once you block a dozen or two people that post politics nonstop you give the other content room to breathe.

  Chimps are NOT stronger than humans, that is a common misconception. I posted a source for that somewhere else in this thread. Pound for pound they are stronger yes, but they are also significantly smaller than humans which more than balances it out. Attaching tendons differently isn’t a magic hack to increase strength; you could maybe increase torque but at the expense of travel distance of the affected joint (or vice versa).

  Famous last words haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a fighter⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha listen bro there are no good ideas against a gorilla. I’ve seen some pretty amazing grappling feats where a much much smaller person can submit their opponents… I think you physically just cannot knock out a gorilla though their skulls are too thick. Humans are uniquely vulnerable to getting KOd so I don’t think throwing punches or kicks is a valid strategy against a nonhuman

  Now that’s a PPV I’d drop $80 on no questions asked

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a fighter⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hot (and irrelevant take) but I disagree. Mike Tyson was actually kinda small for a heavyweight and I don’t think any person stands a chance of knocking out a gorilla (have you seen the way their skulls are built?!). I think if any human had a slight chance it would be a huge wrestling or BJJ champion that knows how to grapple and maybe, idk, choke out a larger opponent with superior technique.

  Just putting this here because chimpanzees, while strong, aren’t THAT strong. A big strong male human is strong than a big strong male chimpanzee.
  A gorilla of course would tear any person apart like tissue paper.

  Yeah there are still several stages of clinical trials before this gets to market. Here’s hoping though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not an expert, but looking at the research paper this is just blocking one one particular vitamin a receptor, so most functions of vitamin A would not be affected. Once concern is that this particular receptor (RAR-alpha) is partially responsible for neutrophil production, although they didn’t notice any changes in animal tests, possibly because those receptors are tucked away inside your bone marrow. Still could be a concern with long term use though…

  As a longtime donor of the project, last I checked there were still concerns about the reversability of the project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good to exercise at home instead of gym?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Go for it dude. I’ve been working out ny whole life and have never paid for a gym membership (I used the gym at college, then at my various apartments, and then when I got a house I set up a home gym). You can get an awesome workout in with nothing more than some free weights, a bench and a little creativity. You mention being a “total novice,” but I feel like most people that go to a gym are working out on their own anyways so unless you’re thinking of getting a personal trainer there’s really not much difference. If you have any questions about form just take a look on YouTube.

  The other factor is, what will motivate you to exercise more? For me, it’s the convenience of knowing i can just walk into a room in my house and work out. Whereas I know some people that are more motivated by group exercise classes. So you’ll have to figure that out yourself.
