They don’t even disguise it, praxeology is effectively theology without the metaphysics.

Yeah, geese are terrifying and already come with “teeth”.

Ok, imagine a pack of very fast small cassowaries with very sharp teeth.
- Comment on Truth hurts! 19 hours ago:
Everyone that disagrees should have a little face to face time with and enraged Cassowary and then visualise a Cassowary the size of a large truck.

And Laika wasn’t a Laika
Both in breed and name.
- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 3 days ago:
English is easy to get started but insanely hard to master. There are tons of irregular verbs, orthography is all over the place, plurals have more than a few pitfalls.
- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 3 days ago:
Spanish is easier in the sense it’s more regular. Genders don’t had that much complexity if they are applied consistently, especially when you stack them against all the irregularities in English. That being said, and without claiming to be an expert, I think the consensus is that language acquisition time is similar across languages, but the time to master the language is related to how predictable/regular it’s grammar and vocabulary formation is.

This video is still useful to remind everyone that vile people can also sound funny and be charismatic. Though it should definitely come with such a disclaimer.
I hope your relatives are safe.
- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 2 weeks ago:
That wouldn’t solve the immediate problem, which is adversarial officers being infiltrated at all levels of our defense structures.
NATO is much more than government meetings, it has permanent structures that serve as the foundation of European security.
If our leaders were not complete idiots there would be a second foundation built around the EU, but the Common Security and Defence Policy is nowhere near ready to replace NATO yet. - Comment on conditional soap 2 weeks ago:
From what I could find, men are more likely to suffer from dandruff than women, so even though women can suffer from dandruff it makes sense from a marketing perspective to focus mostly on men, especially since men are still thought that any even cosmetically adjacent is not manly.
- Comment on conditional soap 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s not so much the shampoo but a mix of most men using shorter haircuts and doing less damaging things to their hair, like hair colouring.
And it’s not like there aren’t specialized shampoos targeting primarily men. I think I never saw a dandruff shampoo marketed towards women.
- Comment on Met Police recruited serial sex offenders to boost numbers 2 weeks ago:
They ran out of domestic abusers.
- Comment on Metal Exclusionary Radical Astronomy 3 weeks ago:
Even biological sex is more complicated than just 2 gametes. There are cis-men with XX chromosomes do to a mutation in one of the Xs, there are cis-women with XY due to a myriad of mutations, there are intersex people due to everything from random mutations to chimerism, etc.
- Comment on Off the Rails 3 weeks ago:
When the bible says “created in god’s image” it was originally talking about octopus, it just got mixed up in transcription at some point.
- Comment on Increasing the surface area of a substance increases its reaction rate. Proof by garlic. 5 weeks ago:
No, they were trying to kill all the mammals but failed successfully because naked apes love mildly toxic substances for some reason and started mass reproducing them instead.
- Comment on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs 1 month ago:
LLMs are an evolutionary dead ends. Very expensive ones at at.
Even the companies doing things were LLMs are actually good at, rely on companies like OpenAI so when OpenAI goes down so will they.

- Comment on Why does Lemmy output horribly invalid HTML? 3 months ago:
Works is different from works consistently across all browsers, or even versions of the same browser. I know most web developers got into their heads that only Chrome (and maybe Firefox if they are filling generous) matters, but open source projects shouldn’t incentivise this.
- Comment on EU tax officials confront the most pressing legal question of our time: If you sell RuneScape gold to someone and they use it to buy a magic sword, do you still have to pay taxes? 3 months ago:
Depending on the country, and depending on the gift, yes. Though it’s mostly not enforced.
- Comment on Leave it to a Bezos-owned company to confuse customers and mislead them for profit. 4 months ago:
Because the more a news source depends on ads revenue the shittier it is.
- Comment on When life gives ya lemons. 5 months ago:
Tree Shrews also seem to enjoy it. Though they have a genetic mutation that makes them less sensitive to capcasin.
- Comment on Periodic reminder to get your library cards and fill out museum surveys. 5 months ago:
If you happen to live in Berlin, Vöbb's digital subscription is 10 euros year but it gets you things like statista and pressreader that would would cost hundreds of euros per month combined.
And if you don't it's possible your local library also has a similar offer.
A well run library is an amazing thing.
- Comment on ChatGPT users shocked to learn their chats were in Google search results 5 months ago:
The trick is reading checkboxes before pressing them.
I don't know what people expected the option

to do.
I also don't know why it would have been implemented in the first place, but at least it was very clear.

- Comment on Zero-hours contracts: Peers accused of ‘trying to block stronger UK workers’ rights’ 5 months ago:
said the Lords was “doing the bidding of bad bosses” and ought to “get out of the way” of the plans.
I think someone didn't notice who the "lords" are yet.
- Comment on Off topic 5 months ago:
Hyperrealistic acting also doesn't help. Lots of actors insist of mumbling in a way that makes it hard to understand even if in a cinema.
- Comment on I try to spice it up with some VB Macros but it's still ultimately just a spreadsheet. 5 months ago:
Why not both. I once wrote an abomination that read and wrote data into a Google Spreadsheet, interacting with formulas in the spreadsheet in the process.
- Comment on YouTube 5 months ago:
Is that an "Americans are big tech's guinea pigs" kind of thing? I still didn't get any video ruined by a dubbing AI.
