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 4 days 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 4 days 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.

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. 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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?

I’m literally eating vegan nuggets right now, but thanks for being an ass.
- Comment on HELP HIM. 1 month ago:
Can images of animal abuse please be labeled as such and get a NSFW blur please?

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 1 month ago:
Guess it’s time to wake up.
- Comment on Anon goes on a diet 1 month 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?

There’s a fish/eel critter that lives that way inside sea cucumbers.

The fanfic that tried to apply logic to JKR’s writing lead to an actual, real life murder.

What do you mean?
- Comment on Anon has nothing to do 2 months ago:
It may actually be part of the depression. We don’t know that anyone hates him, just that he believes they do.
- Comment on It's just loss. 2 months ago:
Something I pretty much never see pointed out is that we don’t need billions of humans. Our governments keep encouraging us to have children, but they should be working to end the culture of pressuring people (especially women) into having children because they’re somehow incomplete without them. There should be more programs offering access to birth control and family counseling services. This endless and meaningless growth is as harmful to us as it is to the rest of our planet.

I believe pets are counted as livestock, but it’s not specifically referenced as far as I have the interest to read.

But what if she had four wheels?
- Comment on USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA 2 months ago:
No. What is or isn’t a vegetable is determined entirely by whether we collectively consider any given plant or plant part a food item.
- Comment on Plant Slurs 2 months ago:
In Swedish the prefix for bad stuff is the same as the prefix for not or un-. So a monster is a not-animal and a weed is ungrass. Which is especially interesting to me because that same prefix (o) is for better versions of things in Japanese.

It definitely counts as invasive if we put it there though. I don’t see rabbits swimming to Australia.
