- Comment on Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents? 5 days ago:
Yeah, that’s what I meant too. Men and women almost universally have different vocal patterns though, even when they ostensibly have the same accent.

- Comment on Is Dungeon Meshi worth it if I'm not into anime? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not a fan of most anime for similar reasons to you, and whilst I’m not loving Dungeon Meshi, I’m enjoying it. The biggest trope that it has that I struggle with is the female character is very much the overly anxious worrier that has to be cajoled in to everything by the ensemble of males.

The reason I doubt that is because I can’t smell ants “all the time”. And I can definitely smell them when they’re disturbed. But most people who talk about smelling ants describe the smell as “damp” or “mouldy” or “earthy”, and I have never smelled an ant that smells like that.
The only smell I’ve ever smelled from them is acrid and acidic, and that only happens when they’re disturbed or dead.

I don’t think they’re talking about the dead/distressed ant smell. To the best of my knowledge, everyone can smell that. They’re talking about a general smell of ants

What’s proven is that our current mathematical models do not accurately represent the universe due to the way things move and effects of gravity
This is actually the bit that Vera Rubin discovered. The summary of her discovery in the quote is the issue :)

Federate communities are literally the point of lemmy. They were there from the beginning?

My brain read it correctly on the first glance, but then when I looked at it more closely, I assumed I had misread it, and then had to work out how to read it, only to arrive back where I started…
- Comment on What should I do with 2 old machines (Mac Mini and HP Pavilion g7)? 2 months ago:
then you can always just set up a Jellyfin on the server and stream to your TV, which would allow you to use your normal remote.
Or simply laptop to the TV via the HDMI output and run it directly.

Yep. I removed their comment locally after replying to it. The reply was because those removals won’t federate
- Comment on In 2015, the Fortingall Yew, one of the oldest trees in Europe, decided trans rights are tree rights and switched its sex to female 🏳️⚧️ eat shit transphobes 2 months ago:
Not so much.
Sex and gender are distinct elements. So whilst they’re not the same thing, they do interact with each other and influence each other to some extent or another. If they didn’t, then the world wouldn’t be full of people whose gender and sex are in alignment. For that matter, if they didn’t, we wouldn’t even understand the concept of sex and gender being in alignment.
Also, “transgenderism” is a term popular with transphobes, because it frames trans people as a belief/ideology, rather than acknowledging their identity.
no non-sapient creature can ever be trans, because you need consciousness to have a gender identity in the first place.
But for all of that, strictly speaking, this is true.

Were it a “curious, socratic style question” you wouldn’t have framed your question with loaded terminology designed to make trans people sound unreasonable and fake.

You can also use ^ to search your history instead, and do away with the tabs!

It is possible to develop ADHD like symptoms from a TBI of some kind. It’s not ADHD from a technical definition standpoint, but from lived experience of symptoms, it can line up with ADHD
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
It’s also most likely not an explanation. I’m ADHD too, and I hate having browser tabs open. I keep them as few as possible, closing them as soon as I don’t know what they are or why they’re open.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
I mean, you can scan the page titles in your history just as easily as you can scan the titles of 400 tabs. So it’s kind of same same if you can’t remember any pertinent details
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
I have 2 or 3 open at once at most. If I can’t remember what it’s for, it gets closed. And if I need to find it again, searching my history is easier than searching my open tabs
I just can’t handle tab frenzy
