  I feel like inheritance is more something that keeps the rich rich and not something that makes the poor not poor. In a sense, other people inheriting things is (a part of) what keeps poor families poor.

  Picture might be real but the person is not. No humanity inside. Just a husk wearing a human skin, spreading hate

  This is about drones that are cheap and can shoot you with a bullet. Sure a +1M$ drone will kill you from behind the horizon, but a repurposed consumer drone operates on the same ranges as handheld guns and as such could be shot by a handheld gun. If you can hit it, which is why you use a shotgun to increase your ods

  Not really. There was a lawsuit that claimed they contain no tuna. A lab found no tuna DNA, a different lab did. The lawsuit shifted to “does not contain only this type if tuna”.

  Also highly processed food (especially after it was cooked) does not contain any DNA that is identifiable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ask yourself the question why people “become” tall, small, blonde, blue eyed, have a certain ethnicity, …

  They dont become! They are! (I am mostly gonna use gay as an example but the same applies to all lgbtq+ people in the same way)

  The reason it seems like people “become” gay is because sexuality is something that develops during puberty. The same way tall people don’t get born tall, but grow to be tall. However they never choose to or worked towards being tall.

  If you ever heard something like “XYZ is turning the kids gay!”, its a lie. Differently to being tall, sexuality is something internal, something you feel. And many people are being told that what they feel is wrong. So they believe it is wrong and surpress what they feel. This leads to misserabke lives, depression and often violent/abusive relationships because they are internaky unhappy. If you tell them it is okay to feel what they feel, they are more likely to accept who they are.

  So telling people that it is okay to be lgbtq+ leads to more people being openly lgbtq+. They always were. They didn’t “turn gay”. They just didn’t lie to themselves and surpress it.

  That unfortunately means you have to shoot a lot of people. Trolley problems are everywhere. They just arent as obvios as pulling a lever. But your political and consumer behaviour are full of trolley problems.

  So you can either pull the trigger and shoot a lot of people, which will make you a murderer, or, if you dont, through your inactions, a lot of other people will have to suffer through hidden trolley problems. Your choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Random Screenshots of my Games #47 - Cult of the Lamb⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Great game, really nice visuals and nice (very trippy) soundtrack. I tried to be a “good” cult leader, trying to ressurect everybody that “died” (most got sacrificed before they could die of old age), but some people should stay dead. And mourning and sadness is just another reason to put everybody on shrooms again

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Saw it as a teenager. Its edgy but I enjoyed watching it.

  Until the prison/stigmata scene that completely broke the movies own rules. The whole fuking point is he goes back in time to change something and he is the only one who knows it. To everyone else that is just how the past has always been. But not in that scene! People actively see the world change due to him changing the past. (Oh and him mutilating himself as a kid changes nothing about his live except for the scars? He ends up in the same jailcell with the same cellmate 25 years later? Sure.) Even as a teenager i realised the gigantic plot hole.

  With that scene its a 3/10 movie for me. But not because it is edgy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do different ethnicities/races look different?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Evolutionary reason” does not necessarily mean that a feature is an advantage. Mutations are random and then positive or negative selective pressure act on them untill the mutation is either extinct or is adopted by the whole population. For features without selective pressure the same thing still happens it just takes longer and is basically random. So different populations of a species will always develop different features even when given the same environment.

  So for most of the features you listed: yeah it just happened.

  It will be a long time and a lot of innovations in material science until you can implant a quantum computer into a person. So much that I am not sure it is even possible (or practical)

  That’s the difference between a stew and a soup where everything had been puréed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I wanted to die in a viking funeral, like getting put on a boat and set ablaze while I am in the middle of the see can this be done? Or is it even legal?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then OP has to die in international waters. And I think ships usually count as part of the country they are registered in. So if you die on a cruise ship it still counts like dieing in that ships owner country. And its not trivial to move a corpse out of a country, there are laws about that. So the country they plan to die in very mutch matters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goos-Hänchen effect⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes it is technically the diminutive form of Hahn which is german for rooster but “Hähnchen” is mostly just used to refer to the meat of any chicken. Like beef is the meat of a cow, Hähnchen is the meat of a chicken.

  What actually is the “problem”? I see articles talking about trolls and anti-woke but I dont find anything why people are mad.

  They made a character younger… shouldn’t that be what trolls want? Dont they normally complain when female characters are to old?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Redirect to prevent back button⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They actually do. To avoid infinite loops. If a URL redirects to the identical URL for more than ~5 times most browsers will refuse to load and show an error instead.

  That’s why sites like this will generate new URLs with the same content.
