How the SOS signal can get through if comms are going to be blocked is a question I leave for the interested viewer.
Maybe they went to the surface, sent it up through the atmosphere, and then went back inside. If the ship’s records say the SOS was last received from the mouth of this cave, it’s a pretty easy assumption. You could even send along,
SOS, SOS! We have wounded in a cave on [insert planet]! The casualties are too injured to move, and I need to go back inside to tend to them. Please help us!

So, M’benga wrote about the particles because he’s a doctor, and they can heal by expanding molecular structures like flesh. Scotty heard about this property and was like “Well can it expand atomic structures too? We could sure use some ‘healing’ on our deuterium reserves”. And turns out it can. So, think of it as a kind of smart matter that turns into whatever it touches. With gravitic containment and good aim, that principle of copying what it touches can do both jobs. And luckily, M’benga has seemingly already designed a hose nozzle smart enough to do the job on flesh. Just copy the molecules in the right places until everything is back to normal.

https://www.unisq.edu.au/news/2025/05/honey-bees
A University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) researcher has found that honey bees – a species introduced by European colonisers for honey and crop pollination – may be driving down the population sizes of native bee species, potentially leading to extinction.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
Here in Australia, native bees are solitary. All the bee farms use foreigner bees.

Utilitarian hedonist here. I stopped eating prawns because I heard about them pulling the eyes out to increase breeding rates. I decided to research it by watching a video of a prawn having its eyes removed.
It looked like it was in pain.
That’s enough for Me. I don’t believe in p-zombies, so if something looks like it’s in pain, I believe it. I don’t want the prawns to have their eyes pulled out because it looks like it hurts.
And the meme is actually a lie. I don’t have strong feelings about honey, I’m undecided. I actually posted this bait in part to start an argument so I could read what people have to say. And also because it’s funny and this is lemmyshitpost. Right now in this present moment, I don’t think I want honey in My life.

Here in Australia, there was a genocide for a long time where the goal was to destroy Aboriginal culture. I mean, there was plenty of murder and eugenics in there too, but the culture was a really big thing. Kids were stolen from their parents and put on missions where they couldn’t speak language or practice religion. English and Christianity only. For a long time, Aboriginal people could only be granted citizenship if they renounced their Aboriginality. No more interacting in any way with the community, no language, no culture.
Aboriginal ontology and metaphysics are fundamentally different to European ontology and metaphysics. It’s a different reality. Consensus reality was made by white people, practicing whiteness in their actions. And then everyone else was forced into it, at least in “the west”. I assert that nonwhite people in the anglosphere are only allowed to join the dominant class, if they give up their own culture and its reality, and practice whiteness and white reality instead. Which isn’t that hard for a lot of bougie people of colour to do, because they’ve been colonised and assimilated.
I think the intersections of race and class are really important to understand, because if we rebel against race and not class, we’ll just end up with racist socialism. You know, like China and the USSR. And we’ll be doing “the people’s genocide” against the Uyghurs or whatever.

I think veganism is when you don’t support animal slavery. Kangaroos aren’t slaves, so their meat is vegan. Simple as.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
I’m actually not a vegetarian. I’m a kangatarian.
Kangaroos have evolved over the past 60,000 years to breed in such numbers that their population can sustain hunting by humans. They have no other natural predators, unless you count parasites. Dingos in some places, but not many. The result is that if humans don’t hunt kangaroos, they over-breed. Destroy the local habitat, threatening endangered species, then starve. Some kangaroos must die at human hands for the good of everything else, including the other kangaroos.
So the government uses drone surveys to analyse the population, and then tells people how many kangaroos need to die. Each kangaroo in the quota can either be hunted, or culled. Culled kangaroos will be shot, and their bodies will rot in a ditch. Their meat will benefit nobody. If they’re hunted, then at least some good comes of it. If a kangaroo survives the initial shot, hunters will stun and then kill it. I’m unsure whether the same regulations apply to cullers.
So, I eat kangaroo meat. All kangaroo meat is hunted, there’s not a single kangaroo farm in the world. At least, not the western idea of a farm. Every kangaroo I eat lived a free life in nature, and then died for the good of the ecosystem.
And I propose a bigger question than honey: is kangaroo meat vegan?

Most of are agreed that the point of veganism is to reduce nonhuman suffering. Following absolute rules for no reason is silly. The point is the ethics.
But the other vegans have the wrong opinion about whether eating honey causes suffering.

Reality is a social construct defined by the dominant ethnic group and manipulated by the Epstein class to control us.

Science success story:
Aboriginal religions generally hold that long ago in the Dreaming times, the world was cold, there was less water, and the coast was further away. You used to be able to walk to many of the islands around the Australian coast, because there were land bridges.
White people generally assumed these stories were mythological fiction, because white people are often racist and intolerant. However, science eventually figured out that 10,000 years ago, there was an ice age. The polar ice caps were bigger, and the ocean was shallower. Those land bridges were found under the modern ocean through satellite imaging. Aboriginal religions were right, and science proved that these religious histories had been preserved and kept accurate for 10,000 years!
Science wins again!

Shame. Cultural norms and taboos are reproduced through shame.
Look down on them. Call them bootlickers. Be clear that you think you’re better than them. Make jokes at their expense. Roll your eyes. Leave them out of things.
That’s how a culture exercises soft power against manners we think are unacceptable.

- Comment on Nice Going Buddy 1 week ago:
Jesus actually uses two different words which get translated as hell: Sheol, and Hades. This makes sense, because most of the people around where he lived were Jews or Hellenists. Sinful Jews go to Sheol, where their souls are cleansed by a purifying fire and they cease to exist. Sinful Hellenists go to the bottom level of Hades, Tartarus, where they’re punished forever.
Neither of those is what Dante described.
- Comment on Nice Going Buddy 1 week ago:
I prefer the simple answer proposed by the Death of the Discworld: everyone is getting exactly what they think is coming to them. The final justice is that of your own conscience.
So pick a religion that aligns with your personal values and you’ll be alright.

Only one downvote that I can see, although I don’t know if anyone banned from My server is downvoting. People banned from My server tend to be right-wing reactionaries, so that would explain it. To reactionaries (and indeed most people), facts don’t matter as much as which “side” they support. Support vegan bodybuilders, and you’re implicitly attacking meat-eating ideology. So people downvote because their meat ideology feels threatened.
