Neanderthals were more peaceful than Homo Sapiens.
- Comment on It's literally science 1 day ago:
Fuck off with your ablist bullshit.
- Comment on Push to eliminate sales tax on food and groceries in Missouri runs into resistance 6 days ago:
In the EU and the UK all food has sales tax. It’s around 20 percent for “luxury” food and around 5 percent for necessary food like bread and milk (some countries have more levels, like France, which has 20, 10, 5 and 2.5).
- Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 6 days ago:
Note you can be allergic to memory foam, which will make those earbuds hurt like hell (ask me how I know)
- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 1 week ago:
Speaking another language is game changing, it doesn’t matter which language it is. It’ll make it much easier to learn another language, for example, because you’ll get a better grasp of grammar. In fact, that grasp of grammar will help you speak your own language better.
You’ll also be more likely to treat people who speak a different language as people rather than things.
- Comment on If the next pres. is a Democrat and wants to roll back all of Trumps bullshit. How can they do that quickly and efficiently? 2 weeks ago:
Right? Stop relying on the system, America. It’s not working. You’re going to need to actually DO something. Like striking for a week.
- Comment on Given the obviously wide reaching implications of the Epstein files why arent other world governments demanding access or copies? 2 weeks ago:
The UK is about to kick out its PM because of the Epstein files. It turns out a prominent politician (Peter Mandelsson) has been giving away state secrets. The PM appointed him ambassador in 2024 KNOWING he was involved with Epstein.
Read the fucking news, Lemmy. I suggest france.tv and the Bylines network.
- Comment on Given the obviously wide reaching implications of the Epstein files why arent other world governments demanding access or copies? 2 weeks ago:
No, no it’s not. Pay attention. Read the news. France, Poland and the UK are all investing people based on the Epstein files.
- Comment on Given the obviously wide reaching implications of the Epstein files why arent other world governments demanding access or copies? 2 weeks ago:
I thought they’d backed out of that?
- Comment on Tesla's flashing lights 2 weeks ago:
Guards. It’s a… controversial… school.
- Comment on Tesla's flashing lights 2 weeks ago:
Move your bed into the living room.
- Comment on Has cosmetic surgery gotten a bit out of hand lately? 2 weeks ago:
My son aged in a very similar way. I’m sure he hasn’t had any surgery.
- Comment on Tesla's flashing lights 2 weeks ago:
Depends on where you live. There’s a school behind a row of terraced houses near me that uses bright floodlights all night. People have had to move their bedrooms to the front of their houses. The police refuses to do anything.
- Comment on Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals? 2 weeks ago:
I mean, your handle is a bit… offensive? Dumb? Idiotic?
- Comment on What is the best alternative to a "smart" cell phone today? 3 weeks ago:
There’s one that has a switch that puts you offline, but I can’t remember the name of it.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 3 weeks ago:
I had one with an entire burrata in the middle last Saturday. It required surgery with a knife.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 3 weeks ago:
Some people hate getting dirty hands, they just don’t like the feeling of it. Just eat pizza as you please.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 3 weeks ago:
Rich people don’t care how you eat your pizza. Stuck up people do, but you get plenty of those without money.
- Comment on JD Vance visits Milan, Italy 3 weeks ago:
Because he thinks someone will try to poison him. The Stalinist paranoia has set in.
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 3 weeks ago:
No. It’s kph. Ebikes are restricted to 25 kph.
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 3 weeks ago:
It’s 25 KILOMETERS an hour. I often end up cycling faster than my ebike motor can keep up with.
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 3 weeks ago:
I’m a gen X “bitch”. I was raised cycling everywhere. Get lost with your generational divisive bullshit.
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 3 weeks ago:
25 kph, not mph. Which isn’t very fast.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Didn’t work, got defunded anyway.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 3 weeks ago:
Everyone knew. The Holocaust is just the Jewish part, by the way. It started with dissidents and “unnatural” people.
- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 4 weeks ago:
I had an odd smell. My mother also kept telling me off because I “didn’t change my underwear.”
When the pain started when I was a student it turned out I’d had a bad infection for years.
- Comment on London stabbing rates vs X posts about London crime 4 weeks ago:
Sweden discourages integration, so there you are.
- Comment on Is it still seasonal allergies if they last all four seasons? 4 weeks ago:
Unless you tested every day, you don’t know if you had Covid. Many people don’t have symptoms or don’t recognise them, which is why it spreads so easily.
Covid is still around, it’s killing more people than it was at the start of the pandemic, and also giving millions of people long covid, heart disease, allergies, etc.
- Comment on "Between raising two young boys and putting in long hours at a marketing job, Kevin Caldwell can almost never find the time to make dinner. So he and his husband spend about $700 a week to order in" 4 weeks ago:
They’re incredibly salty.
The only healthy food restaurants serve here is salad, so you just proved my point, really.
Oh, and forget vegetarian options.

You don’t live in Germany, obvs. It’s schnitzel and Maultaschen all the way down.
