  They didn’t stop evolving. They just evolved better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so close⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and then they have a whole thing about how under 5 kcal per serving can be rounded to zero because it’s negligible.

  That’s why despite nobody on the planet having ever eaten a single tic tac at a time, the serving size is 1 tic tac. That’s only 4 kcal, so in the US they can call it a “calorie-free snack”

  I learnt it in English as “do what you oughta, add acid to water.”

  No, fission. Each generation is made of progressively lighter atoms until they’re just balls of hydrogen, the true end goal of all sentient species.

  That tracks

  Did your new boyfriend’s son say that too, or was his response more like “why’d you steal my girlfriend, dad?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She only wanted the ring bros⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If both employers have the same policy, one spouse selects primary and the other selects secondary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She only wanted the ring bros⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My work gives parental leave based on whether they’re the primary caretaker or the secondary one. The primary gets 6 months, the secondary gets 3.

  What decider whether you’re primary or secondary? Simple. If your partner is taking more than 3 months they’re primary.

  What this means in practice is that for US-based employees pretty much everyone at my company is the primary caretaker since few people’s spouses even have the option for more than 3 months.

  Motorcycle? Those muscular legs clearly indicate an acoustic bike commuter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gotta go fast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ohhh right that makes sense. I was only thinking of ways to use rocks to boil water to make electricity. So I missed geothermal and disregarded photovoltaics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gotta go fast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna need help identifying all of them. So far I have burn them, smush glowing ones together, and reflect radiation with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gotta go fast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially when you make a good cuppa with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DST⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The irony of this comment is that one of the few sane things Arizona does is staying on standard time year-round.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DST⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude I have sunlight until 8 PM. It’s March.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DST⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The American Medical Association disagrees. This article from the journal of clinical sleep medicine helps debunk those myths.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DST⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get sunlight after work without harming people’s health.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DST⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes the increased health risks and danger to children are very inconvenient to me personally.

  Imagine if we had to move it around in such large quantities that there were thousands of kilometres of unwatched pipelines just out there, potentially leaking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tim Apple watching loyalists call map ads a feature:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk if it’s still true, but ads was the fastest growing division in Apple for several years. They make tens of billions (possibly hundreds of billions) in ad revenue every year.

  I live in a small community with only around 8 billion others. We have our problems, but most of us are trying to make it work.
