Then I retract that specific point. I still think any site that expects you to maintain a user account should prominently advertise vibe-coding (or whatever non-dysphemism you could use to make it sound softer).

I think it’d be disingenuous if you didn’t immediately, loudly disclose it to people you’re expecting to trust you with their financial information – you know, just personally.

why it exists
selling a couch to somebody two streets away shouldn’t require an account on a social network, a profile that follows you around, or handing your address to a company that makes its money watching you. for a long time the only practical way to sell secondhand locally has been exactly that.
Man, the fact the ‘About’ page was plainly written by an LLM doesn’t bode well for “I whipped up an alternative to Facebook Marketplace as a side project lol”.
I can’t believe anyone on Lemmy is taking this uncritcally.

I was trying to call back to Aristotle’s discussion of how this system supposedly worked.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
This wasn’t the revolutionary part about Newton’s conception of inertia. It was the counterpart: that an object in motion will tend to keep going unless acted upon. This was pretty staggering in a world where an arrow fired from a bow (below escape velocity, you snitty little pedants) will slow down and fall to the ground.

I’d likely be so continually high on a cocktail of chemicals that I’d be having lively conversations and never fully realize I was the only real person left.
Pretty bold assumption that out of over 8 billion people jumping off a cliff, not one of them would survive in a way that they could rescue themself.

- Comment on The Head 2 weeks ago:
Honestly super fair re: bleeding out. I was considering the thigh there and forgot to mention my problem specifically with the calf, which would be chronic pain. I know that comes with getting shot anywhere and especially in the limbs (sort of Sophie’s choice if you want to gamble on the distal or proximal for the arms), but I figure the problem for me wouldn’t be potentially losing the leg as much as it would be feeling pain every time I walk due to the pressure. If anything, the shin protecting the tibial nerve seems like you wouldn’t be all that likely to lose sensation.
- Comment on The Head 2 weeks ago:
Fair point. I’d still prefer the right arm*, but I think you could reasonably debate distal or proximal. Proximal has less chance of hitting the brachial artery and surrounding major nerves, but if you do hit them, you’re in bigger trouble than in the distal – where the median nerve and the brachial artery have split, making it easier to hit something but for that individual hit to be less severe.
* Another comment mentioned your glutes, which, yeah, fair if you could hit it from the side-on (and be fairly accurate, otherwise ouch, that tailbone).
- Comment on The Head 2 weeks ago:
The gut is notoriously one of the most painful places you can get shot. It’s fairly “safe” overall with antibiotics and medical intervention, although it would carry a higher risk of infection. Plus hitting a kidney seems like a pretty severe complication. So I think I’d rather take the arm.
- Comment on The Head 2 weeks ago:
100% somewhere in the arm (like assuming this isn’t in some test lab where “the ear” can be consistently guaranteed).
- Foot could be serious, lifelong pain when walking.
- Leg is extremely dangerous. Like maybe if I could get immediate medical attention it wouldn’t be terrible, but there are still better options.
- Abdomen is obviously not a first choice.
- Head and neck are obviously going to be the worst, and I even mean that in the sense that a shot to the head isn’t inherently some insta-kill. Lots of ways to hit the brain that completely debilitate you for life.
- Hands seem like a great way to fuck up the nerves and have dexterity trouble for the rest of your life.
So arm it is, preferably right because it’s further from the heart.
- Comment on Chat, is this accurate? 2 weeks ago:
Oganesson has a half-life of about 0.7 ms and is excruciatingly difficult to synthesize in a way that even lasts on the order of milliseconds. The beam it’s created in is sent to a semiconductor detector. You’d be stretching the definition of “lick” very heavily if you could even convolute a way to make it land on the human tongue.

I mean they’re right. The problem with PornHub isn’t that it’s too vanilla or something but that everything on it is hyperreality. It’s the kind of sex that you could, at age 13, imagine is really hot but then grow out of.
Watching it is just distracting and funny, like you’re watching a parody of sex. It’s hyperpalatable in the way a McDonald’s hamburger or a MrBeast video are.
I don’t need a deep, intimate connection with my porn, but I would like to feel like the humans in it might actually be authentically enjoying themselves. That scarcely exists on sites like PH, so why would I waste my time trying to find it?

I don’t think particle physicists in 2026 wake up in a cold sweat worried about preons. We are still taking measurements, but I don’t think theoreticians have any reason to invoke it – and IIRC its predictions have been outright contradicted experimentally.

Are any particle physicists particularly concerned with matryoshkas?
