So if your personal morals align with Hitler, does that make it okay to be a nazi?
Whether or not something is ok is a moral judgement, so it again depends on who you ask. A nazi will of course think it’s ok … that’s probably why they are a nazi. If you asked me personally, I think it’s not ok.
I believe The Dude who lived a perfect life, was crucified, then rose from the dead is God.
Right. But we haven’t heard of him in a while, so it’s kind of hard to consult with him on moral issues. And his book isn’t that comprehensive, contains some rather questionable takes and also is not really keeping up with a lot of more modern moral issues. Not to mention their is hundreds of different versions of the book and there is a lot of disagreement which is the “correct” one. So in the end it’s still up to you to decide which interpretation you like best.
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 23 hours ago:
I would have assumed that everyone that was going back to the office would have done so a while ago … like in 2022.

So who do you believe? Who do you listen to?
That is really up to you. Whomever your personal morals align with the most. Or don’t listen to anyone and just rely on your own morals.
Basing your morals on “god” is just kicking the can down the road. First of all … which god? There is hundreds of them. And even if people agree on the god, they disagree on the interpretation of the morals. So you’re still left with the questions “So who do you believe? Who do you listen to?”.

Depends on who you ask. If you ask the Nazis they’ll say it’s ok. The people they took over would probably disagree.

Morals only exist by consensus. If enough people agree something is moral, it practically is. They are an idea, not something that actually exists in nature.
- Comment on Is Mexican food uniquely good with alcohol or have I just been conditioned? 2 days ago:
Conditioning. It’s literally one of the last food I would want with alcohol.
- Comment on Real milk proteins, no cows: Engineered bacteria pave the way for vegan cheese and yogurt 2 days ago:
I’m not looking for a cheese alternative. I want the exact same cheese as it is now, just without the need for a a cow. So it better have lactose.

I don’t know and I don’t want to find out.
- Comment on electrostatic spider flight 3 days ago:
Bananaspider is quite ambiguous and refers to multiple spiders.
Golden Orb Weaver is the common name for Nephila (which this one is not), though often wrongly applied to Argiope.
This one is Argiope aurantia, which as a bunch of common names including “golden garden spider”, but I prefer “black and yellow garden spider”.
- Comment on Why are there so many german communities on Lemmy? 6 days ago:
Not sure what the core reason is, but Reddit also had a big German population.
I guess Germans are rather privacy focused so they might have been disproportionately migrating during the reddit exodus.
- Comment on Why are there so many german communities on Lemmy? 6 days ago:
Because there are many Germans on Lemmy.
- Comment on Can you have an infinitely long wavelength of light? Or is there some maximum? 6 days ago:
They do indeed. It’s totally minuscule of course.
Everything that has energy deforms spacetime and spacetime affects how anything with energy moves.
- Comment on Can you have an infinitely long wavelength of light? Or is there some maximum? 1 week ago:
Infinities are generally outside of practical applications, so you wouldn’t. It’s more of a thought experiment.
- Comment on Can you have an infinitely long wavelength of light? Or is there some maximum? 1 week ago:
Unless you specifically say “visible light” I assume “light” to just mean electromagnetic radiation.
- Comment on Can you have an infinitely long wavelength of light? Or is there some maximum? 1 week ago:
The idea that a and very small wavelength would cause a black hole doesn’t really make sense to me since I thought a black hole requires mass.
It’s mass OR energy.
Light, even though massless will still bend (and be affected by distorted spacetime) because it has energy in form of momentum. (See: gravitational lensing).
- Comment on Can you have an infinitely long wavelength of light? Or is there some maximum? 1 week ago:
There is no upper limit, so really this comes down to how big the universe is.
It’s properties would be that it’s extremely low energy … and basically impossible to detected as you’d need a universe-sized antenna.
For short wavelengths you’ll eventually concentrate so much energy in once spot that it will form a black hole. So that would be the lower limit.

Have you heard of the carnivore movement?
Apart from the 1 guy here on lemmy running his solo community … I never have.
- Comment on People often say "Don't talk to the police", but what if a friend, neighbor, or a loved one gets kidnapped and you want to help the victim? 1 week ago:
I guess in that case you have to weight that risk against how much you like your girlfriend.
- Comment on People often say "Don't talk to the police", but what if a friend, neighbor, or a loved one gets kidnapped and you want to help the victim? 1 week ago:
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t apply when you’re the one calling the police.
- Comment on How to install Battle.net on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck for World of Warcraft and Starcraft 1 week ago:
Yeah, all my original CDs are somewhere in an attic, maybe. I bought the remaster version for €10 a few years back, which is pretty nice.
Heroes of the Storm and SC2 and Overwatch where battle.net only on release, I think.
I think they move everything but WC1 to battle.net these days.

That’s why some people want to enjoy classic mayonnaise … like StarCraft.

- Comment on call of the void 2 weeks ago:
There is really no fundamental difference between an organsim or a sufficently complicated machine and there is no reason why the later shouldn’t have the possibilty of emergent properties.
and you are the problem with internet interactions.
Defensive much? Looks you’re the one with the problem.
- Comment on call of the void 2 weeks ago:
We have emergent properties all the way down to the quantum level, being “organic” has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, it’s supposed to have bones. That’s why we don’t eat actual worms!
- Comment on Anon listens to the radio 2 weeks ago:
I remember that one station that would advertise that they would play “uninterrupted music” during certain parts of the day. Only to then constantly interrupting it to tell us how they currenlty playing “uninterrupted music”.
- Comment on wolf spiders 2 weeks ago:
Seriously?
I was scratching my head because there aren’t that many green bodied spiders with orange legs that also practice matriphagy …
- Comment on wolf spiders 2 weeks ago:
They are not great indoor spiders but since they are always roaming around they sometimes end up inside homes.
- Comment on Eve Online has changed how pilots buy and sell its fancy golden space ticket known as Plex 2 weeks ago:
We’ve had a PLEX wallet for a while now so there was no reason to move it as cargo.
I haven’t played in quit some time, but there never really was a need. You could always use your Jita alt to buy one, contract it to the character you needed it on and activate it remotely.
Never understood why people moved them in the first place, but I always liked that being stupid was an option and many people took it!
- Comment on Eve Online has changed how pilots buy and sell its fancy golden space ticket known as Plex 2 weeks ago:
So now there is truely no need to move physically move plex’s within the game anymore (if not impossible altogether).
I don’t like it. It removes risk and risk is fun. Killing a ship carrying a plex was always a highlight in the game.
