Leave them alone already.
- Comment on What the fuck is going on with Iran and what will happen next? 1 day ago:
You forgot the bit where they’re trying to distract everyone from the Epstein files and the bit where they literally have no plan.
- Comment on Is there any reason we were taught in school that blood is blue in the body until it reaches oxygen and then it turns red other than our veins look blue? 2 days ago:
Were you? Or were you not quite paying attention and misinterpreted the picture while not listening to the teacher properly?
- Comment on Nuclear energy enjoyers vindicated again after the rise in oil and gas prices. 2 days ago:
I have solar panels and my backup power company runs three hydroelectric dams in the area, which have replaced the nuclear power station.
How much do they pay you to spout bullshit?
- Comment on Is there any reason we were taught in school that blood is blue in the body until it reaches oxygen and then it turns red other than our veins look blue? 2 days ago:
“We” weren’t because we had competent teachers. I do not know a single soul who was taught nonsense like this.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 3 days ago:
Raising a family on a vegetarian diet is dead easy. Just leaving out beef is even easier.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 3 days ago:
But beef is expensive. Everyone has the resources not to eat beef.
- Comment on How many times a year do you wash your jeans? 3 days ago:
I wash my clothes when they’re smelly or dirty. Washing them when they’ve only been worn once is insane and terrible for the environment, American.
- Comment on How many times a year do you wash your jeans? 3 days ago:
Are you 2 years old?
- Comment on It seems like when I eat meat my ears ring more. Any ideas if what causes this? Not so much with hamburger but more with pork. Thoughts? 3 days ago:
Does it pulse? It can indicate high blood pressure.
- Comment on if you google Chicxulub (the dinosaur killing space rock) a meteor will fly across your screen 3 days ago:
That’s adorable.
- Comment on if you google Chicxulub (the dinosaur killing space rock) a meteor will fly across your screen 3 days ago:
Not used to, still works. I’m going to wash my hands now.

My wife. She’s a software developer. She also uses Chrome. I honestly don’t get it. The other day she Googled a particular hotel and the top results were websites pretending to be the hotel.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
DNA kits are a con. DNA can’t show nationality and there are only 4 broad DNA variants in Europe.
- Comment on So why are Indian curries so popular in the UK? (interest in culinary perspectives). 6 days ago:
There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in Britain, though. Run by Chinese Malaysians.
- Comment on So why are Indian curries so popular in the UK? (interest in culinary perspectives). 6 days ago:
Where I live in Germany there’s a great Indian restaurant, but the locals don’t like it. I suppose because it doesn’t serve mango chicken 🙄
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 6 days ago:
A vinaigrette works too.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
So many people are missing out on great relationships because of their shallow preferences.
- Comment on Why does it seem like teenagers killing people is way more commonplace in the UK now? 1 week ago:
Race is the reason, though. As in: crime has been going down for years, but if we pretend it’s going up and it’s caused by black people, they’ll vote for us (Reform, AfD, CDU, Republicans, PVV, etc).
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 1 week ago:
Three months for 350 is pretty good, here it’s 500 a month.
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 1 week ago:
For some people that “eating fewer calories” part might be only eating a few hundred calories a day because of insulin resistance (hello?), certain medications they’re taking (like beta blockers) or plain old stupid genes.
- Comment on Forbidden Fruit 1 week ago:
Neanderthals were more peaceful than Homo Sapiens.
- Comment on It's literally science 1 week ago:
Fuck off with your ablist bullshit.
- Comment on Push to eliminate sales tax on food and groceries in Missouri runs into resistance 2 weeks 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? 2 weeks 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? 2 weeks 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? 3 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? 3 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? 3 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.
