  I reread the post replacing “pelican” with “politician”. I haven’t laughed this much in weeks. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon meets a girl at a wedding⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Groups often came together to party and marry people.

  There are even rules, like exogamy is common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Causes of Death in London (1623)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m especially doubfounded as I thought that before there was an important police force and a mature legal system, murders were far more frequent than after.

  At the same time, it’s possible I’m imagining 1632 London to be more primitive than it really was.

  I like your enthusiasm. Can’t say I’m looking forward to figure out that part, but I’ll try. Thanks

  I went and saved the queen from that war that happened long ago. Then it appeared I had nothing left to do. I stopped there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rip⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pasteurization is even below what most would consider as cooking temperature. It’s getting your food really hot for a while but not boiling. It’s kind like edging but in cooking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rip⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you even destroy minerals by heat? If there’s an element there it won’t go away. Though I guess the molecule could change and it could be less bioavailable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rip⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a king of ancient times who would microdose poison in order to get immune. To his defense, he lived in ancient times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a special request⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I read this, I was curious how possible it would be, if there’s sufficient offer in the market… I found this vendor page. So, there would probably be enough offer as there are taxidermists who need to clean big game skulls, which require thousands of larva and adults, and the vendor say you should email them if you need more than 10’000. I couldn’t learn how much time it would take, but they do say that more = faster, and to communicate with them to fit your project timeline.

  Sounds like a clear cut case to me: you’re lesbian. Not sure why you are doubting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon comes out to his religious parents⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A straight man who doesn’t like neither porn nor sex.

  Did you try looking at photos of naked people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crystals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, so you’re telling that to not feel ashamed of liking rocks for how they look, they believe silly things about them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mushroom Guides⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why shouldn’t we eat mycelium?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*doing my best google impression* Did you mean: turn in up?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good to know. And that’s worrisome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a common question in economics.

  It’s called technological unemploymemt and it’s a type of structural unemployment.

  Economists generally believe that this is temporary. Workers will take new jobs that are now available or learn new skills to do so.

  An example is how most of the population were farmers, before the agricultural revolution ans the industrial revolution. Efficiency improvements to agriculture happened, and now there’s like only about 1% of the population in agriculture. Yet, most people are not unemployed.

  There was also a time in Englans when a large part of the population were coal miners. Same story.

  Each economic and technological improvement expands the economy, which creates new jobs.

  There’s been an argument by some, Ray Kurzweil if I remember correctly, but others as well, that we will eventually reach, a point where humans are obsolete. There was a time when we used horses as the main mode of land transportation. Now, this is very marginal, and we use horses for a few other things, but really there’s not that much use for them. Not as much as before. The same might happen to humans. Machines might become better than humans, for everything.

  Another problem that might be happening is that the rate of technological change might be too fast for society to adapt, leaving us with an ever larger structural unemployment.

  One of the solution that has been suggested is providing a basic income to everyone, so that losing your job isn’t as much of a big problem, and would leave you time to find another job or learn a new skill to do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon freezes time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon freezes time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, see my other answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon freezes time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The scenario doesn’t really make sense as the electro-chemical activity in your brain woul be stopped as well, so tou couldn’t be conscious.

  But if we suspend disbelief, you could say that you’re stuck with the image that got to your retina when time stopped. Which means that you couldn’t see the protagonist moving!

  Also, realistically, he couldn’t even move as he’d be against a barrier of unmovable air.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon freezes time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good thing is that since time has stopped, you won’t get your eyes burnt since light stopped travelling as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon freezes time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t even think about this. I thought of how crushingly boring and annoying it must have been to have been unable to move at all. For 6 months.

  And now I realize it must have been dreadful, at first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets an ultimatum⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We actually used to see this term more often back around the 2010s when 4chan had a bigger presence

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon vibes with his gf's brother⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great story, thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon vibes with his gf's brother⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How did it start?

  Was it on Archive of our Own?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨App development⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What I would change in my case:

  • Engage with people, even if it’s awkward or you have something more fun and that takes less effort right now
  • Get a basic understanding of personal finance (read a book or two)
  • Don’t be content with the bare minimum. You’ll spend a lot of time working. Try to get as much as possible for yourself for every hour working.

  But I think each person’s realities will vary a lot. For example, regarding the first bullet point, maybe you’re extraverted and already a social butterfly, in which case the advive doesn’t apply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t that encourage urban sprawl?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a reminder⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And grt out only for winter? No thanks. I wait for spring and summer half of the year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you. I think anyone who spends a lot of time reading about history comes to these conclusions.
