I will look into it, I’ve been too lazy to do so until now. And now they’ve made switching away from google the most energy/effort efficient option, lol.

Wow that’s really weird because i thought ants were supposed to be everywhere - at least in summertime when you go outside. If they smell that bad then it must be unbearable just walking around places in the city.
- Comment on We really need to bring back the 70s conversation pits 1 day ago:
The concept behind this design is really fascinating and actually harkens back to very very old house design, like 1500s, where people would have a little cubby with benches next to a fire.
Read about Frank Lloyd Wright and his first few house designs (i think the Fallingwater house is a key one) to get the bigger picture on this. He (in ~1910 i think) literally brought back an element of domestic architecture we’d left behind. Comfort pits from the 70s are downstream of this, in my opinion.

The last photo in the “boobs” category looks like a mother and daughter, and I just wanted to point out that skin-contact hugs and cuddles as pictured there are massively beneficial, e.g for bonding and self-image, but I think a lot of non-nudists overlook this.
So take this as a PSA to give your loved ones a hug today, even if it’s a naked one!

- Comment on How come decades in the 1900s look fairly well differentiated but from like 2004 on feels like a giant run on? 2 days ago:
I think this is certainly one important element to it!
And when I think of America, I actually can see distinctions in 2020 / 2010s architecture compared to 2000s or earlier - America can afford to build where Britain and other european countries can’t, really. Or won’t, because of environmental reasons and lower population growth.

20th century saw huge technological change - maybe the greatest of any century - and constant pressure for music and marketing to evolve year upon year. Society was fractured following the fall of the old empires and this allowed people to embrace new political and lifestyle ideologies - everyone was literally becoming more liberated with every passing decade.
In contrast, we’ve been at a bit of a technological plateu since the turn of the 21st cen. (I say blame the lobbyists from oil and gas, but I digress). Marketing and music nowadays is under pressure to conform rather than innovate, so styles are more likely to draw upon their antecedents and contempories than experiment with something new.
You could also interpret it as: after much experimentation, society has settled on a set number of fashion styles and musical styles we all really enjoy - and it’s anchored around the 1980s, which is why thing keep on “looking back on” 80s culture with nostalgia. The things that do change nowadays are digital art styles, AI slop style, and web interface. Somethings just “plateau” for a while - technology in the dark ages, population prior to the industrial revolution, and fashion, from around 400AD to 1500AD.
And one last element - in america, the 20th century saw continuous development of economic well-being, on average, as more and more oil and foreign countries were exploited. This allows people to be creative, and the visible rapid change of society represents the visible flaunting of its’ citizens’ wealth.
The same would not be true for the Soviet Union, for instance; for although it saw major economic stabilisation, communist russia didn’t see a very rapid progression in family wealth, and you can SEE that they have very similar art styles and architecture from the dawn of the century right through to the end - no flaunting of wealth.
Even countries like Britain didn’t get noticably richer from 1945 to 1991 and I’d argue you can definitely see this in our cities, where we’ve been afraid to knock down old buildings where america wouldn’t hesitate. Britain did see dramatic changes in style, in-line with america, but this is expected because it’s a satellite state of the American “empire.” See, our styles and architecture since 1945 have largely not been our own, that is how strongly influenced we are by the big dog USA.

Whichever feels better to you, be it for security reasons (which would probably be the first option) or for self fulfillment options (probably the second option).

See that’s definitely shoes on. The existence of house shoes - sliders and crocs - demonstrates that some people in that country are shoes indoor people. Those types of shoes exist purely to facilitate a shoe on lifestyle.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 3 days ago:
Exactly! I think either this is SO innacurate, or :
- Green actually shows 'shoes on at work’
- Green actually shows ‘takes shoes off after crossing the threshold rather than beforehand,’
How can Canada be a shoes off country if Britain and America are shoes-on? It just couldn’t be.

That’s interesting, I hqve a different experience - i used to have horrible foot circulation as a kid but i got into the habit of never wearing socks in my house (don’t like the texture, enjoy feeling air on feet and them being cooler) and i haven’t had the bad foot circulation since then… as far as i can tell. I have been wearing them for this winter though.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 3 days ago:
Was recently discussing with someone that it’s really weird that, on the internet, Britain is repeatedly labelled a “shoes on indoors” society, because nobody we know has shoes on indoors. Britain is a wet and muddy country.
Does anyone here do shoes on indoors? Where are you all from?

Can someone explain the solar panels bit at the bottom? Is it because the creator of the meme is advocating that as a cooler method of energy, given that it doesn’t use boiling water, or is it because the fusion reactor can utilise solar panels to harvest energy?

They pretend they have toys when they have nothing at all, sometimes. And I’d argue that even playing with toys the way they do is major make-believe. Which is also something they already do in the wild - practice hunting on dead animals or inanimate objects.

Interestingly - North Korea exists, but also many of the most successful countries only take a minute number of immigrants, and only very highly skilled or very rich ones. E.g luxembourg, switzerland, monaco(?) and Singapore.
This is because they don’t tend to have “gaps to fill” in the economy/workforce and are very small.
- Comment on Anyone go nude today? 4 days ago:
Hi nudist tony, idk if we already have a nudist community here on lemmy (maybe check the lemmynsfw instance specifically) but if we don’t already then feel free to create one - it’s super easy to create and moderate your own community in lemmy, much more so than on reddit.
But in short I think you’d get better interactions from posting this to a nudist comm or the AskLemmyNSFW comm.

Depends which cereal we’re talkjng about. I’ve watching those ‘lets make lucky charms / something with chocolate’ videos and they’re basically making a complicated soup, solidifying it, and cutting it up into tiny pieces, just to make a basic soup of milk afterwards.
The weirdest thing to me was realising zalot of cereals already contain milk. Actual liquid milk, that is, baked in.
