The EGS app is so poorly built that Heroic, a third party app made by volunteers, runs faster, has a nicer UI, and has more features. EGS are not a serious competitor.

Ironheart did it.

You should watch Ironheart. Riri Williams is a black girl from inner city chicago, and she built a suit of power armour in her garage. She has a lot of money problems.
- Comment on Can someone explain the Birds and the Bees to me? I get its related to sex somehow but was never told the story or where it got started or how come a plant and insect? 3 days ago:
I find the assumption that if something can be explained, then it cannot be free will or intelligence, to be baffling. My only explanation is that most people think intelligence is magic, and cannot be explained through logic and science. A preposterous proposition, for a psychologist can explain human decision making with the same scientific precision.
- Comment on I'm new around here, and learning about all the different instances and the culture/history behind them has been fun but overwhelming. Is there somewhere I could go for a crash-course? 3 days ago:
Here’s a list of anarchist instances:
lemmy.dbzer0.net (flotilla)
slrpnk.net
quokk.au (flotilla)
anarchist.nexus (flotilla)
multiverse.soulism.net
The flotilla instances are pro-AI, while SLRPNK is pro-sustainability and MULTIVERSE is pro-occultism

So you think revealing someone’s real name to the internet without their consent is okay?
- Comment on Can someone explain the Birds and the Bees to me? I get its related to sex somehow but was never told the story or where it got started or how come a plant and insect? 6 days ago:
Take a decision like moving house. When bees want to move their hive, they swarm. When other bees notice a swarm starting, they have to make a decision to swarm or not to swarm too. If enough bees to set up a new colony swarm, they’ll pack up and move and set up a new hive. But if they don’t reach critical mass (or if humans intervene and keep the queen at home) they won’t be able to make a new hive, so they stop swarming. In this way, the biggest decision a beehive typically faces looks an awful lot like a political rally in a democracy.

Bees are actually a democracy, the workers don’t serve the queen. Think about when a family is driving home from school and the kids start chanting “I want McDonald’s!” Now imagine the kids are the ones driving the car. That’s bees. They’re getting that McDonald’s. The queen doesn’t get any say.
- Comment on Time travelers going back in time to kill the first religion ever before it forms and fucks up humanity 6 days ago:
Yeah, I don’t think humans are ever getting all the way to antibiotics and moon landings without first using religion to acquire that fundamental knowledge which is so useful for survival. Jewish people don’t eat pigs because they carry disease. Indigenous Australians care for the environment so well because of their totemic connections to it (I could write a whole comment about this alone, let Me know if you want to hear more). Newton discovered gravity while looking for beauty in the Lord’s works. Greeks sacrificed foods to the gods, and thereby ensured their productive capacity always exceeded demand, limiting overpopulation.
Kill the first religions, and you either delay religion a few hundred years, or stunt humanity at the stone age forever.

I would be happy if I didn’t have to share a universe with realists, but the thing about realists is, they’re not happy to let that happen. They think there’s only one universe. They psychologically abuse our kind to try to get us back to their reality.
I have a friend named Sonic who’s an introject. He appeared in someone else’s head one day, having been assembled from thoughts about video games and comic books. He tried to get help from a psychologist with his mental health. Instead of helping him, she told him he doesn’t exist and tried to erase him. She messed him up so bad, he tried to commit suicide, tried to destroy the body he lives in and everyone else who lives in it, just to prove he could have an affect on the world, that he exists.
He’s doing a lot better now that he’s surrounded by antirealists and he isn’t seeing that psychologist anymore.

I think we need politics to go beyond one reality, and embrace a subjective multiverse where people can perceive what they want to perceive.

- Comment on Real talk 1 week ago:
Most people who say humanity is an invasive species are actually just talking about white people. They’re erasing the harmony between Indigenous peoples and nature that in Australia has lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Yet if you say white people are an invasive pest… /joking

https://www.britannica.com/story/which-religion-is-the-oldest
Adherents hold that Hinduism—one of the principal faiths in the modern world, with about one billion followers—is the world’s oldest religion, with complete scriptural texts dating back 3,000 years. The oral tradition that gave rise to the Mahabharata, for example, probably dates to about 850 BCE, although its written Sanskrit form is about 400 years younger.
So Hinduism is around 3000 years old.
https://www.aboriginal-art-australia.com/aboriginal-art-library/rainbow-serpent/
Scientists have found that the first paintings of the Rainbow Serpent appear in Arnhem Land rock art between 6000 to 8000 years ago after the last Ice Age when the seas rose. After much research it was discovered that the first snake images would have appeared after the rising of the seas due to the direct climate change.
So, the worship of the Rainbow Serpent (The central figure in many Indigenous Australian religions) has Hinduism beat by at least 3,000 years.

The oldest known religions are those of Indigenous Australia. If any modern human is going back in time to kill Indigenous Australian religions, I think they’re racist.
