This is why I don’t agree with calling cops pigs.

That’s for candy and drinks. Blue is coconut for chocolates specifically. Though it also holds true for granola bars in my experience.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 still has secrets fans haven't found, says director 5 days ago:
Honestly, chapter one is way too long, and a bunch of very important plot stuff was for some reason cut as optional content in chapters 2 and 3. I can’t understand their decision there, but I do think it’s very worth muscling through chapter 1 to get at the good bits, and make sure you follow all those side quests.

When you said “modify the DNA”, I thought you were referring to genetic modification in a laboratory, which is capable of enacting dramatic change in a single generation, including unintentional changes. Selective breeding enacts mild iterative changes over a long period of time, and is therefore much less risky.

In my area we have communal lawns for lounging, soccer, etc. so that individual homes have smaller gardens, and areas not needed for human activity are allowed to grow wild while in season.
- Comment on it's true! 1 week ago:
Because releasing genetically modified organisms into the wild can have absolutely disastrous consequences on an ecosystem. I think there are cases where the benefits are worth the risks, but pretty lawn is not one of them. Might be nice in the future when we have a better grasp on what we’re doing.
- Comment on Anon watches Lord of the Rings 1 week ago:
I’m my experience, simply refusing to acknowledge the supernatural has made such entities incapable of properly manifesting 100% of the time.
- Comment on Anon watches Lord of the Rings 1 week ago:
It does make a ton of thematic sense that the counter to a purely magical threat is a technological weapon.
- Comment on Anon watches Lord of the Rings 1 week ago:
It’s been shit for over 10 years now, but I just keep paying them every month, and I don’t know what I’m doing with my life.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I’m a little too good at acting as living food storage.

Based on the latest Silent Hill, a lot.

Thank you. I was kind of offended with the other one for implying I would neglect a huge region.
- Comment on Fatherhood 3 weeks ago:
Reminds me of when I watched the Babadook with my mom and she came away offended and thinking all the other people in the film were very mean to the mom.
- Comment on proof of wormholes 3 weeks ago:
Wow, thank you for bringing that up. That’s potentially very helpful in some situations.
Specifically I’m thinking that it might be worth taking a preemptive dose prior to contact with a known trigger, to assist with exposure therapy.

Alcohol can’t cause birth defects in adults because they’re already born, but it can and does damage the adult brain and other organs.
- Comment on After current events I'm now replaying this gem. Forgot how fun killing Nazis actually is 4 weeks ago:
You might also enjoy the Payday series, wherein you and your friends shoot a bunch of cops.
- Comment on What do people actually use ChatGPT for? OpenAI provides some numbers. 4 weeks ago:
That’s also true of traditional searches because the resulting webpages can just be whatever bullshit someone wrote. It will only be true that they said it. You still have to use your brain to assess the trustworthiness of the info.

Explains the birthrates.
- Comment on It's always Brassica 4 weeks ago:
I recently took in one of these that was found on commercial produce, and turns out they will starve themselves to death if they’ve learned about the most premium crucifers and are denied them.
- Comment on It's always Brassica 4 weeks ago:
No, the joke is that people would potentially believe anything about brassicas at this point because everything else is a brassica.
- Comment on It's always Brassica 4 weeks ago:
In the leaves, yes. The white part is flowers.

You are what you eat, so dinosaurs are a type of broccoli too.

I don’t know how anyone could read Moby Dick and not come away convinced of their obvious fishness. Surely one’s nature and behavior are more important than one’s reproductive organs.

It’s been put forth that we should have other kinds of censor tags on Lemmy, but NSFW is currently the only one supported. It’s been used here and on other sites for disturbing imagery of murders, spiders for arachnophobes, etc. Even without that, a text tag of [animal abuse] facilitates the use of client-side content filters.

Do I need to look at images of dead Palestinian kids too? Does wanting to go about my day in a measure of peace mean I don’t really care?
- Comment on HELP HIM. 2 months ago:
I’m literally eating vegan nuggets right now, but thanks for being an ass.
- Comment on HELP HIM. 2 months ago:
Can images of animal abuse please be labeled as such and get a NSFW blur please?
- Comment on HELP HIM. 2 months ago:
The rat is safe in that it can’t hurt itself or others, but they feel the same about this kind of confinement as humans do. I guess whether that counts as humane is a matter of opinion.
- Comment on AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day 2 months ago:
Guess it’s time to wake up.
- Comment on Anon goes on a diet 2 months ago:
Does either of those cause/prevent actual starvation feelings, like headaches and fatigue? Do they influence your non-exercise activity thermogenesis? (ie, feeling like you need to sit while you wait for the bus instead of standing or pacing) Or is it just a vague munchiness?
