so like just put them in resealable plastic bags, that’s a better use of the plastic than 5 small packages and means you don’t need the cardboard either!

anarchist music doesn’t recognize the concept of a nation-state as valid
- Comment on Country music 17 hours ago:
my favourite country songs remain those featured in fallout: new vegas, they’re so brilliantly atmospheric.
I generally don’t cry but i can just put on “in the shadow of the valley” to cry on demand, i’m swedish as fuck and yet that song instantly makes me nostalgic for some southern ranch i’ve never seen

i’m not sure why you think the uncertainty principle is a “gotcha”, it specifically states that you can’t know both the position and momentum of a particle and thus explicitly contradicts your claim that we’d know everything about them because we know their mass.
I can’t be arsed to write out a whole scientific paper here so i’ll just link to the probability cloud model of orbitals and hope you can make sense of that.

see, jumping spiders understand this. they recognize that we’re effectively gods and their lives are entirely in our hands, so they damn well stand still and try to look non-threatening.

your frozen pizzas suck ass, COOP here in sweden has great frozen pizzas that feel like 3x as healthy as restaurant pizzas and are some of the cheaper food you can find.

I’m curious how your shopping trips look like to be called exhausting, i just bike to the store, scan the products, stuff them in my backpack, pay, and bike home. Takes 15 minutes tops if i don’t leisurely walk around looking at the shelves.
- Comment on Day one and done 1 week ago:
you know sometimes i forget that pizza chains exist in other countries, here in sweden (and i think generally the nordics) they simply are not a thing because middle eastern immigrants have outcompeted them from the start.
From a blogpost i found there are aparently some 70-ish pizzerias per person in NYC, whereas there are 400+ per person in sweden. It’s literally more likely to find a pizzeria in a small village than it is to find a grocery store, and theyr are ALL staffed by people from turkey/syria who are very likely to be family or at least know of each other. They also always serve other stuff like kebab or schnitzel.
It’s honestly such a fascinating phenomenon and i’m sad the rest of the world doesn’t effectively have pizza as a human right.

it’s extremely common for americans to dismiss apartments because they simply cannot fathom the idea of housing that actually blocks noise, it’s one of the primary arguments i see used against denser housing.

it’s called “plants other than grass” and works really well, most swedish lawns remain green for most of the year and require jackshit care other than mowing every now and then.
- Comment on Lightning bugs 1 week ago:
and we can bring it back: stop using pesticides, replace your lawns with native plants, stop driving, and stop buying food from industrial farms.
- Comment on Lightning bugs 1 week ago:
no, this is borderline fascist propaganda
Humans are great, and we have historically actively cared for our environments since we’re not stupid and realize that we kind of rely on the environments to survive.
The problem is a few psychopathic greedy people who we have allowed to get power and control the world, when people think for themselves and reject the societal norms imposed upon them by these rich asshats you invariably see their surroundings improving alongside their quality of life.

which is why the steam deck was such a breath of fresh air, it’s what consoles SHOULD be.
A computer built primarily for gaming, sold at a reasonable price, that merrily lets you switch to desktop mode and launch excel for some office work if you want to.

and this is why i wish people would make it profitable, fuck AAA titles, give your money to indies who respect the consumers and actually just want to make a fun game.
I wish game devs would found a union that helps developers fund and publish games with no profit incentive, it seems like such an obvious thing to do and has the potential to revolutionizing how people create and play games.
No longer would we be beholden to companies, no longer would developers have to compromise their works for profit, no longer would players have to tolerate predatory bullshit.
Just good games made by passionate people who are happy to have people enjoy their works while being able to afford to live on it. - Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:

- Comment on sweet dreams 1 week ago:
the only thing that changed is what we call it, pluto has existed since before humans and will continue to exist after humans most likely, and it does not give even the tiniest shit about what we call it.
“planet” is an arbitrary category that mostly just exists because we like to put things into categories, much like the concept of a continent.
It’s just really difficult to say that pluto is a planet if we want to have any sort of vague definition for what a planet is, because pluto is more similar to a ton of objects in the solar system than it is to the other bodies we very confidently refer to as planets.
If nothing else you have to also call ceres a planet if you include pluto, and how many people give a shit about ceres?

because it only seems believable if you’re using an outdated and simplified model for atoms, and forget about the fact that atoms are also made up of protons/neutrons who are in turn made up of quarks, and the fact that there are a whole bunch of other fundamental particles that don’t give a toss about atoms.
If you look at the more accurate electron cloud model it stops making sense to compare it to a solar system.
