If you hand wash your clothes and process all your food from scratch you’re probably a pretty big exception to modern lifestyles

That is mostly a myth. They may have worked less than people at the height of the industrial revolution, but even a laborer who was paid a salary had to spend at least several hours per day on average on “not work” things like food preparation, home maintenance, feeding livestock, gathering firewood, repairing and cleaning clothing. Many tasks that are trivial today were highly arduous.
Then to top it all off it was fairly common for the local lord to force them to do extra labor without pay, like maintaining roads or training in a militia.

What does “ranked” mean? Doesn’t basically everyone have a rank?
search says she is immortal ranked, which is a very good rank, but it’s immortal in valorant, not league

Neuroplasticity does drop with age, but the drop is smaller than it was previously assumed to be, especially outside of early childhood (you may note that eg. this graph starts at 20 years old)

wtf is up with that confidence interval(?) though

Finland never recovered from the 2008 financial crisis, and covid + the end of trade with russia has damaged the economy badly and made public debt balloon heavily. Right now unemployment is about 10%, the 2nd highest in the EU, and the far-right coalition goverment that won the last election is trying to privatize healthcare and disempower unions.
Finland’s birth rate dropped below replacement levels about 50 years ago and has been in freefall for about the last 10 years, and now the population pyramid is starting to be in really bad shape, which means the economic situation is likely just going to get worse and worse.
The retirement savings system is designed like a (partial) ponzi scheme due to aforementioned population dynamics, and participation is mandatory so it is effectively a hidden tax on all workers. Due to old people having the majority of the votes, it’s the one thing that is immune from budget cuts, which forces the government to sell publicly owned infrastructure and dismantle public services in a futile effort to compensate.

getting the picture to perfectly replicate the image on the screen without it being noticeable would be so difficult it would probably be easier to modify the camera instead
- Comment on Anon predicts the future 3 months ago:
blockchain is a totally useless extra bit glued on there. All the real evidence will be the cryptographic signatures added by the hardware manufacturer (which can be faked, but requires extracting the keys from the “security chip” in the camera which may be very difficult)

- Comment on Polar bears 5 months ago:
I haven’t heard of .500 blackout before, and google gives conflicting info on whether it’s “necked down .338 lapua magnum” or “like .510 whisper”
polar bears have historically been felled with “panicked shooting with ar-15”, and the “standard recommendation” seems to be “magnum rifle round”
- Comment on Polar bears 5 months ago:
.44 magnum is barely on par with an intermediate rifle round like 5.56 against large game. And that’s before considering the massively lower felt recoil or the fact that a rifle is much easier to aim

to be fair, I may have gotten a bit lucky with the exact search, any other section of the lyrics would most likely not find it
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 7 months ago:
The first one is “Go green” by Mitch Benn
found it just by googling the lyrics in your comment lol
We’ll go green when you go green
You’ll go green when he goes green
We’ll get as far as aquamarine or so
But we’re still gonna call it green - Comment on A delicate balance 9 months ago:
well sure, epistemology says we can never be absolutely sure of almost anything. But the alternative to ideas is… what exactly?

Superfood is a meaningless marketing term. You can call literally anything a superfood and it would be correct.
Bacon is a superfood
Raw potatoes are a superfood
Vodka is a superfood
