and I’ll bet you have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers around just in case
“smoke detectors everywhere” is not a norm everywhere in the world in a same way it is in usa.
“americans are not aware there is a world behind their borders” is already on a list in this thread, but thank you for practical presentation 😂

but in some small handful of cases it may save their lives.
in some small number of cases you can get hit by a meteorite during that search, so be careful.

i am not going to verify what you said, but regardless of if it is true, if your grandparents have the citizenship, you probably don’t need dna test to find that out…

there is one that is slightly more in favor. so take your pick i guess

Most studies have not shown a definitive health benefit of a daily MVM supplement for men like you. However, a recent clinical trial, published online Jan. 18, 2024, by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggests taking MVMs may help delay cognitive decline in older adults.
For the trial, 573 participants were given baseline cognitive and memory tests. Half were given one standard MVM daily, and the other half took a placebo. Both groups were unaware of which one they were given. The study participants were retested again after two years. The people who took the MVM scored slightly higher on the memory and cognitive tests than those who took the placebo.
but also says:
The grocery and drugstore shelves are full of other supplements, which are heavily promoted for all kinds of health benefits, most of which have no scientific evidence to support their use. It’s always best to check with the pharmacist or doctor before taking any individual supplement.

significantly deficient in iron
if you are significantly deficient in anything, then take whatever your doctor recommends. but this idea people have “oh pop a pill a to get some vitamin c and others, you will be healthy” is just marketing.
- Comment on Could you be relatively healthy if you replaced traditional carb sources with skittles and multivitamins? 3 days ago:
wtf. multivitamins are largely a marketing scam, most of that shit will just go out of your body anyway, you are paying for enhanced urine. and skittles? food source? really?

i am personally simple person. i see @hexbear.net, i block, no exceptions.
- Comment on What happened to lem.ee? 4 days ago:
the site received a considerable amount of “vile” content of one type or another
ok, i can definitely see problem with that.
…cnn.com/…/facebook-content-moderators-kenya-ptsd…
I’m not really sure why Lemm.ee (the 3rd-biggest Lemmy instance at the time) evidently received so much of that shit compared to others.
i remember his unwillingness to defederate with basically anyone, hard to say if that played a role.
but i agree it was very well ran instance. it is a shame it ended and i hope he is happy with his other endeavors.
- Comment on What happened to lem.ee? 4 days ago:
that’s not what i tried to insinuate, i don’t think it was enough money for an it professional to do that and i don’t see why anyone other than him would have access to it. but we are just speculating indeed.
- Comment on What happened to lem.ee? 4 days ago:
the thing is the bills were paid by users, and according to what he publicly said the money were not a problem and he had budget for months in advance, so it wasn’t about money.
the fact that he didn’t make the final announcement himself is something that i personally do consider quite strange, but we will never know, i guess.
- Comment on What happened to lem.ee? 4 days ago:
lemm.ee was one man show operated by one person, who was probably industry professional (some kind of system architect/admin), because his infrastructure was designed quite well and robust.
he eventually grew tired of it, because as the instance grew, it was impossible to maintain it as one man team and expanded on his admin and mod team.
after some more time, the admin team announced that it is still too much and they aren’t able to handle the amount of moderator and admin work needed, and we should go home because they are closing.
it was quite strange, because the sunaurus, the founder and head admin of the instance, was quite transparent about how everything works from the beginning and communicated with the users often and clearly - up until the end, where this “we are closing, go home” announcement was not made by him, but by some anonymous admin.
so my working theory is they killed and ate him, stole the servers and went home 🤷♂️.

Show the “reaction”, and it falls within fair use
i doubt that, but it would probably depend no jurisdiction.
i think it is just really lazy way how to become a youtuber. you only need to be attractive person with no other skill.

people can just talk about stuff. if i accepted your argument, there would be no need for political communities, since these are also not going to change anything, but we are still happy to generate 1000 comment flamewar 😆
- Comment on Can pets tell who's petting them without looking? 5 days ago:
they would do that even if you were single their whole life. if someone touches you, you just look at them, that is natural reaction, that doesn’t mean they wonder who is petting them.
and that is for cats. asking if dog, who can track 24 hour old track using just nose, knows who is petting them, is just laughable.

- Comment on How does internet advertising work? Where is all the money coming from? More... 1 week ago:
brand known for using child labor (…) I’d avoid the Nikes unless they’re the cheapest option.
so, you are okey with child labor as long as it produces cheapest option? man of a principle, i see 😂
it is a complex topic, but the fact is, that most people will choose the brand they know (meaning it was advertised to them long enough) over the other one, which is why advertising works and why companies dump money into it.
- Comment on How does internet advertising work? Where is all the money coming from? More... 1 week ago:
Advertising works. Not to you,
everyone thinks he is unique. but advertising really works on anyone. it is not like you are seeing an ad for nike and you are just “oh my god, i just realized i need some nike shoes RIGHT now”. but when you are in need for shoes in some future and you have to choose between nike and unknown_brand_27, it is more likely you will choose nike.

i am not solely focusing on victims. you, on the other way, are bent to explain that you are not responsible for your risky behaviour, which makes YOU part of the problem. i hope you will never have to find out the hard way that real world can’t be tackled by shouting on the internet.
