- Comment on 🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙 2 weeks ago:
Level 10: all forms are valid as long as enough people use them. The currently most used forms are octopuses and octopi, both valid, but octopi is malformed, so octopuses is preferred. Octopussses and octopii and rare variants of those. Also correct, but rarely used.
Octopodes is also correct, but considered pedantic. Level 11: Just use what you are used to. - Comment on Think Bold 3 weeks ago:
Not boars, tho.
Wolves prefer not to fuck with adult boars.
Even when European lions were still around, they’d rather go for something else over a boar. Even bear cubs or baby mammoths, with all the risks involved.
Without some metal animal like Komodo dragons, it falls to humans to keep them in check. - Comment on Teenis 3 weeks ago:

Have you wondered why it is that products often have very obvious warnings?
Not everyone out there is doing stupid things to try and get paid in a lawsuit, some are just that dumb.
Remember that fad with people wondering why mirrors ‘knew’ what was behind papers?
Some were just memeing, others were that scientifically illiterate. - Comment on Intellectual Debate 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. Everyone knows giraffe centaurs share the ears and ossicones of giraffes, but not their long necks and legs.
It’s more like the ancestors of giraffes that had not elongated yet. Oh, and pretty long tongues too. - Comment on Intellectual Debate 3 weeks ago:
The centaur diet consists mostly of meat, so they require fewer plants to survive. But plants are very good for their health, preferably root and leafy plants over grains, nuts, and fruits, but they can still enjoy any diet.
Centaurs used to prefer to eat only raw meat and alcohol, but after contact with humans they developed a cooking culture, preferring methods like spit roasts over methods like boiling, but they still enjoy a good stew.
Foods that are toxic or harmful to horses but not to humans are not a problem for centaurs, such as garlic, onions, avocado, chocolate, bread, dairy, and the brassica cultivars.The upper torsos of centaurs have secondary lungs and a second small heart that help support their brain and make it less likely that they’ll faint during heavy activity, with an esophagus leading to the stomach and a thick trachea leading to larger lungs, both on the second torso.
Their esophagus moves food faster than a human esophagus does, so eating something sharp that could scratch their esophagus is more harmful to them, so it’s more important for them to really chew their food well. Unlike horses, centaurs can vomit. Their upper torso has none of the other vital organs humans have in that area, leaving more room for muscles, which gives them their massive upper body strength. When a centaur appears to have a belly, there’s no interintestinal fat there; it’s all abdominal fat.
The lower torso has all other main vital organs, and a larger heart and lungs similar to those of horses, and the thicker trachea allows them to breathe faster. Centaurs often have large nostrils and a slightly elongated face to allow for faster airflow.
Their livers are more similar in function to those of humans and sledge dogs, giving them high endurance. They can run without rest far longer than any other creatures they know.
Their lymphatic and blood system, on the other hand, is more similar to that of horses.
Unlike humans, centaurs do not lose muscle mass due to lack of activity, mostly due to illness or lack of nutrition.There are some variations depending on what ‘taur’ is their lower body, but these are the common traits shared among all tauric species.

Why do people always do cannonballs into pools, lakes, and oceans, and never from windows and overpasses into the concrete?

Look at all those distractions about nothing and lies. Everyone knows the real reason any mascot is ever made sexless or gender neutral is to save on materials, so merchandising is cheaper.

When I meet some shoopkeepeers who look Chinese, I have the urge to say something that sounds kinda like “knee how” but I don’t because I don’t know what that means. Freaking Babel curse, man.

Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to meSo close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters - Comment on An old excuse 2 months ago:
If an advanced civilization in the future figures out a way to scan the minds of all sentient beings and put them in an afterlife simulation, then it’ll probably work like The Good Place after they fixed the issues with the system, and this guy would absolutely still be stuck in the purgatories, not yet a better person.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 2 months ago:
If vegans really cared about these things more than keeping the moral high ground, they’d be focusing on practical solutions like making lab-grown meat and plant-based substitutes so tasty and affordable that corporations are the ones that start pushing for them, so they can’t stop spending on costly cattle.

We should write fully phonologically in IPA. You have an accent? Write it down. I want to imagine the voice of the writer better when reading a paper.

I know all about etymology and language evolution.
I still think it’s stupid to write “EAU” to say “O”.

- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 6 months ago:
I don’t dislike linux, I dislike all the work people mention to me when I say I don’t use it because I’m as lazy as futurama’s lazy moon man. The response to that is usually a long list of taks they claim to be a very easy way to install Linux. I don’t care how hard or easy it is. I only do one thing. If I have to do teo things, that’s too many things to do.
Call me when someone makes a distro that is as lazy as an android phone: press a button, all gets done on its own.
