obligate <whatever> doesn’t mean you can’t eat other things, it just means that’s the vast majority of the diet. Cats are obligate carnivores but very much enjoy eating some grass now and then, and when catching things in the wild i assume they’ll end up eating the stomach contents of their prey (which will be plant matter).
And of course there’s those infamous clips of herbivores casually eating meat, because food is food. (they just won’t eat a lot of it, because that would make them sick). It’s like how we can eat a couple strands of grass, but if we try to make it a regular part of our diet we’ll get constipation. - Comment on Wonder what their cousins liked to snack on... 1 day ago:
the term is nonsense, but the brain stem obviously exists and handles low-level functions that directly keep us alive.
- Comment on Wonder what their cousins liked to snack on... 1 day ago:
I’ve specifically tried to get in touch with my body’s feedback over the past few years, and i’m 100% convinced that the ability to sense what nutrients you get from food and then want that food when you need those nutrients, is a fundamental thing to any animal that can actively seek out specific foods.
My recommendations to get in touch with this ability is to limit snacking and try to get as hungry as possible before eating (so you have a chance to calibrate yourself, feel the difference between eating things out of habit vs actually craving them) and to try as many foods as possible even if you think you don’t like them, in as many different ways of preparation as possible.
There are so many things i thought i didn’t like until i tried them in a specific way, and there are many things i thought i liked but i’ve realized it was a very surface-level enjoyment. These days when i follow my cravings i’m filled with a borderline spiritual feeling of well-being, the food really feels like it’s good for me (and that includes desserts/sweets, because i’m very specific about which ones i like and how much of them i eat).

Afaik it’s more comparable to turkey, because of their lifestyle and whatnot.
I think ostrich is another close comparison - Comment on Dream 🦕 Big 1 day ago:
bull is a generic term, there were absolutely bull dinosaurs. Like there was at least one species of herbivorous dinosaur that lived in herds and had strong sexual dimorphism.

clearly this means there were sauropods with wings, who evolved to use tornadoes for transportation

we passed the point where this became possible years ago, it’s just a matter of them bothering to do it to you.
Which is why we should have zero tolerance for surveillance cameras, even if we assume everyone involved has the best of intentions, they can and will get hacked (a horrifying amount of cameras are available over the internet without even a password) and the data will be used to hunt people down.

well that goes both ways, a juvenile might go whole hog with the venom whereas an adult might decide it’s not worth spending the venom on you.

So hold on, doesn’t this mean that companies can just threaten to build wind turbines and get a bunch of bribes? Any sensible businessman would immediately spin up 500 companies to do this as fast as possible.
- Comment on The Art of the Deal 3 days ago:
there’s no precise definition of AI, it can just be an arduino taking the input from a couple sensors to decide where the turbine should point.

- Comment on Why are people so rude on Reddit compared to the Fediverse? 1 week ago:
I’m not sure why people are so intent on excusing reddit with “oh people are just inherently mean” or “it’s because there’s a large userbase”…
No it’s because most of the “people” on reddit are bots lol, it’s the same as all the big platforms. It’s just a fuckload of bots trying to make people as angry at each other as possible, because that drives more engagement and politically benefits the people running the bots and who own the platforms.
(and part of it is just that more “”““users””“” means you can brag to advertisers and get more money).People who aren’t angry and aren’t made to think everyone is a miserable shithead might do horrifying things like “become friends” and “help each other”.
Or truly horrifyingly they might talk to each other and be convinced that rich people kinda suck actually, and we should do something about that, like stop using platforms owned by rich people. - Comment on Why are people so rude on Reddit compared to the Fediverse? 1 week ago:
the big thing about lemmy is that it’s actually possible to have communities with proper moderation, where the mods nuke shitheads from orbit and aren’t sent to the shadow realm for banning nazis
We just have to, y’now, actually do that, which is the hard part.
- Comment on Why are people so rude on Reddit compared to the Fediverse? 1 week ago:
frankly at this point i just assume that anyone who is really obviously being stupidly aggressive isn’t a real person, it’s probably just a bot meant to push people apart.
- Comment on Why are people so rude on Reddit compared to the Fediverse? 1 week ago:
fwiw i would not assume those are real complaints, it’s wholly possible that those are just bots trying to polarize people.

if people didn’t bang on about it i would not be able to tell when the clocks switch time, because digital stuff automatically changes and sleeping one hour more or less is well within margin of error for me.
