  Probably Coca-cola and its legal teams have some degree of responsibility for the minimal polar bear association.

  I had one of the shimmering metalic emerald green species land on my shirt this summer and it was honestly one of the highlights of my year. “THAT FIGURES!” I thought, even the animal kingdom agrees I’m a piece of shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Christmas Animals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I missing something? A few penguin references / associations with Christmas, sure I’ve seen that. But, at least in my part of the world, they’re not a major part of the lore – or am I having a moment?

  Either way, this can be easily explained: It’s called being inclusive. The last thing you want is a north pole versus south pole world wide Christmas turf war, best to extend an olive branch andlean into that diversity and inclusion metric for the good of the world’s children and the fate of humanity.

  It’s like when mommy and daddy buy their precious little Timmy a car and then he doesn’t take care of it, doesn’t keep it cleaned and maintained, and runs it into the ground. Timmy doesn’t care, it cost him nothing, and mommy and daddy will get him another if that one breaks down.

  Compared to:

  Timmy worked his ass off to buy an expensive, high end pickup truck for the work he does. It took a lot of work and sacrifice to be able to afford it, and without it, he doesn’t make money. So, he takes excellent care of it, keeps it clean and maintained, and he’s careful about how and when he uses it.

  This sounds like it’s coming from someone who cannot differentiate between AI slop and actual real responses. Not surprising in the least, of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is comment section of this video filled with nazis?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Youtube is a world-wide technology and the videos can reach an impressively large percentage of the human population. No matter how good the average person is, there will always be some percentage of bad actors, and the larger the audience, the larger number of bad seeds there will be. Additionally, the nature of relevance algorithms and online social networks, amongst other factors, tends to silo like minded people into networks of similar content. And finally, there are a myriad other factors such as engagement metrics, relative anonymity, and plenty of other things that serve to provide encouragement and cover to comment and create content which would otherwise not be acceptable in most circles in person.

  This means a video which draws attention of people with nazi tendencies as well as allied groups who are simply attention seeking can end up attracting a higher than normal percentage of those groups, and others from congruent social spaces. So long as there’s little to no impactful negative repercussions nor effective moderation of the rules, comment sections can fill with undesirable, despicable, illegal, and/or rule breaking replies.

  Based on the fact that they’d give someone like me a PhD, this comes as no surprise. But it’s not saying as much about GPT-5 as a lot of people might think.

  Just in case anybody didn’t read the article and doesn’t already know: Wild animals infected with rabies aren’t just the stereotypical raging aggressive terror beasts you see in the media, they can also be super friendly and usually docile.

  Obviously the best advice is just to leave wild animals alone and keep your distance. However, if you see a feral or wild animal behaving in an uncharacteristic way, added caution is needed. This includes things like seeing traditionally nocturnal animals like skunks and raccoons out and about during the daytime or having them be unusually friendly / fearless / docile to the point where they don’t retreat and may even come up to investigate you. It doesn’t mean that they are infected with rabies, but that’s definitely a potential symptom of rabies (but can also be a sign of other infectious diseases that should activate your spidey senses).

  You are not a Disney princess and Cinderella is not a realistic presentation of how healthy wild animals act.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dispute⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure if the recent fledglings actually are larger or if it’s more of an illusion.

  Logically, it doesn’t make sense that their bodies (sans plumage) would actually be substantially larger than the mature adult parents, other than maybe if the juveniles have a lot of “baby fat” or just different body shapes early on. I assume there are other aspects in play, like maybe they have more down feathers that push up on their outer plumage causing it to be more fluffed up and giving the appearance of them being larger than their parents.

  Maybe a birdologology expert can weigh in (yes I know the actual term is ornithologist).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dispute⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know the exact species involved here, but if I had a penny, I’d bet the two individuals on the left are mom and dad while the third individual that looks like it is wildly gesturing is probably a juvenile begging its parent to feed it.

  In my part of the world, you see this kind of behavior in many different bird species. In some species, the juveniles appear to be larger than the parents and yet will still beg for food.

  I’m getting flashbacks of the management team at the Home Depot I worked at briefly in my college years. Worst job I’ve ever had. Management treated us in with absolute disdain, honestly shameful to talk to other people in that manner regardless of the situation.

  For someone in a supervisory / managerial role to post a notice like this, it’s a sure sign things are completely rotten all the way to the top. I feel sorry for the folks that truly feel like they need that job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Of the most obvious times I’m aware of, they’re mostly boring. But, I’d love to know if there were any near death situations worthy of inclusion in a Final Destination movie. Like I’m at the zoo, leaning on the rails in front of the lions and the joints of the protective bars are corroded but a split second before the bar holding my weight broke loose and I plunged 25 feet into the lion pit, another little kid blurted out “Mommy why is that lion trying to climb on top of the other lion are they wrestling?” which broke my focus causing me to shift my weight off the bar, thus saving my life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Latitudes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Everybody’s wrapped up in the climate / weather discussion, but the thing that surprised me a bit more was the difference in sunset / sunrise.

  I was working on an international team (i.e. a bunch of Americans + one dude from France).

  Back in those ancient times, video calls with everybody’s face included weren’t necessarily the standard, and even when we did them, everyone was typically in an office environment.

  Anyway, one late afternoon (for us in the USA) we did a team video call and our French counterpart was sitting outdoors in his back yard and it was still light outside. Although we knew it was 10 p.m. where he lived, it looked closer to the amount of sunlight we’d typically see around 7 or maybe 8 p.m. here in mid-latitude US.

  It was kind of interesting, because even in the height of summer at the very highest elevations, it’s going to be very dark here at 10 p.m.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Religion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Welcome to what it’s like being a practicing member of the LGBTQ+ community in the USA.

  Although usually in my neck of the woods they phrase it as “I don’t believe in…” For example, I don’t believe in gay marriage, I don’t believe a man should lie with another man man, I don’t believe in Halloween.

  I mean seriously, you don’t believe in Halloween or gay people? It does explain a lot, but I can’t even take people seriously when they say shit like that.

  That’s life living with a human garbage disposal. They will eat anything. They’ll acknowledge the five second rule only in so much as it’s their inside joke when they eat a chunk of cake that fell on the floor at least 20 minutes earlier and miraculously escaped the canine detection system. It’s bizarre having to justify throwing away 30 cents worth of cookies that were molded because “I would have still eaten them just not the moldy parts.” but that and similar conversations are being had regularly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 30th⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anybody playing Doom: Dark Ages and if so, what are your impressions? It is/was on sale and I just saw that it’s Steam Deck verified.

  Mostly I’ve gotten back into Vampire Survivors. In a prior recent sale, all the DLC was in a relatively cheap bundle, so I went for it. I also gave in on “my principles” and started consulting online sources to figure out the hows and wheres for a number of the unlocks that eluded me in the past. I really dislike having to do this, but there’s just not enough info / guidance in-game and I got tired of aimlessly hoping to stumble upon things.

  I’m hoping I can find the motivation to play some other titles in my backlog, but as of yet, nothing has stuck.

  Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein

  Kind of, but it’s definitely nothing new in my part of the world at least. And I’m guessing you weren’t around in the USA for the Atkins craze (or just didn’t notice) when grocery shelves and fridges/freezers were littered with high fat, high protein versions of just about every ultra processed food item you can imagine with giant call outs on the front about how much protein they had (and then fat content only disclosed via the nutrition label).

  The behavior that makes my eyes roll are the foods that emphasize their protein content despite the product not being a particularly good nor dense source of it. For instance, a 50g cereal bar with a spiel on the front along the lines of “3 grams of protein in every serving”. Okay, so like, okay? And? I probably get more protein every night from the spiders I swallow in my sleep.
