That second one is absolutely disgusting.
It’s not a reason to get mad, though.
- Comment on Cursed Milk 1 day ago:
Well… The sparkling will be really intense and short-lived, as all that carbonic acid reacts with the bases on the milk. Then it will be completely flat.
Also, from the taste of old tooth-paste, I imagine CaCO3 tastes like spoiled sand would if sand was capable of spoiling.
- Comment on Iron 1 day ago:
Well, the non-metals and Manganese are way more available than iron anyway (probably molybdenum too). But it will be really difficult to create high-quality steel.
- Comment on My thesis is holding a bat over me. 1 day ago:
No, it only attacks. That’s why people have to defend it that much.
- Comment on physics ≠ magic 3 days ago:
“Mercury” and “arc” on the same sentence do really, really not make one imagine something that perfectly fine to use or be around in operation.
- Comment on Two chemists walk into a bar 4 days ago:
I just love how universal it is.
Lol!
Half of the stuff people expect to work is library code that isn’t even bundled at the default TeX context. Most of the symbols don’t even come packaged with the TeX interpreter.
Somebody should really make a “standard TeX” and LaTeX should adopt it.
- Comment on Epistemology 4 days ago:
Ex ante, I think I’d say the probability of a complete, fully decorated, detailed chart on social media discussion of Spinosaurus being created for this specific discussion is about as large as it being reused again and again on several occasions.
Also, again ex ante I think I’d say both probabilities are close to zero. So I guess I should reevaluate my priors.
(Also, my autocorrector insists on fixing “Spinosaurus” into “Tyrannosaurus”. I think my autocorrector should reevaluate its priors too.)
- Comment on we are in dire need of new memes to criticize marxist-leninists 4 days ago:
It’s pretty boring to keep beating that dead horse. The fact that people keeping moving it around to pretend it’s alive adds a bit of entertainment, but most of the “ha-ha look at that dumb clown” variety, not of the “let’s do something about it” one.
- Comment on I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality? 4 days ago:
Full tanker mode, engage!
But yeah, you won’t see any of that on legitimate Chinese press.
You know that China is currently engaging in 2 different large-scale genocides, right? Or that they crushed (very literally) an entire city-worth of protests in Hong Kong just about 5 years ago, right? People don’t talk about those because people outside of China don’t spend their days criticizing China, and people inside China don’t spend any time criticizing China.

That’s just lack of creativity from your part.
The OP didn’t say the composition of the pedestal, if it has cavities, its temperature…
- Comment on Old comic, more relevant than ever 1 week ago:
We are just taking “crypto” back to mean something useful. It was just a matter of some stupid people losing enough money.
I hope in a few years we can take “AI” back too.
- Comment on Mine vibrates the entire fume hood like a broken washer. 1 week ago:
I wonder why they don’t have some safety stop when they detect vibrations.
- Comment on Sticks 1 week ago:
Perfect time for the GP to disclose that he lives at the South Pole.
- Comment on The Duration Time on this Cookie... 1 week ago:
There isn’t any reason for a site to limit the lifetime of most cookies. I have no idea why that field isn’t optional.
Get an extension that will erase the cookies that you don’t care about, do not abide by everything anybody on the web asks you for. And yeah, get an ad-blocker.
- Comment on It's a trap! 1 week ago:
Finally, one example where we don’t have to explain to people that actually Uranium being toxic will kill you first.
- Comment on Does color change how hot a laser can get something? 1 week ago:
Anyway, a maser or a xaser would create completely different responses on the material. There’s a good reason we use different names.
- Comment on Does color change how hot a laser can get something? 1 week ago:
if we asume a perfect energy conversion from electricity to photons
That’s not really necessary. Lasers are usually rated by the output power already.
- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 1 week ago:
Isn’t the current government on extended time? That’s not a very democratic thing.
Anyway, when Iran was quickly moving to become a democracy, the US wasn’t supporting them.
- Comment on please tell your husband hello 1 week ago:
I always remember that cartoon exists. And this seems to be the only information I can remember about it.
- Comment on Sad 1 week ago:
You cut one pineapple, share it with 6 friends, and goo around looking for people that want the other 36 ones.
- Comment on Megafauna 2 weeks ago:
Condors are vultures too.
- Comment on Megafauna 2 weeks ago:
Does the US have unusually small vultures? Mexican vultures are famous, and much larger than a bald eagle, but even here in Brazil our vultures are about the size of a bald eagle.
- Comment on Our bffs 2 weeks ago:
Just to point out, but you need to make sure your data is unbiased much more than you need a lot of points.
- Comment on Evolution isn't linear. 2 weeks ago:
My father once made the mistake of letting himself be surroudee by chicken while having a flesh wound.
A coma is completely unecessary.
- Comment on You are in this solar system, but we do not grant you the rank of planet 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but that new evidence is way less distinguishable from noise than the one for Neptune.
At this point, the most likely is that there isn’t anything there.
- Comment on You are in this solar system, but we do not grant you the rank of planet 2 weeks ago:
and whatever species has inherited the earth by then
Well, only if we move the Earth safely outwards of the huge Sun.
- Comment on Showing appreciation for hard work. 3 weeks ago:
- Comment on Somebody do something. Somebody? 3 weeks ago:
This makes sense, and as far as explanations go it’s better than most running around on the internet.
Yet, it was a very abrupt change. Did the US population have that abrupt change to reflect there? On society it’s common that a very steep change leads to spread-down consequences; the reverse almost never happens.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
So, you’ve been listening to lemmy.lm…
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
The amount of tankies and idiots with idiotic opinions is way to high on here.
On an internet site?! I’m shocked! Shocked!
I mostly sign jokes and shitposting communities, but the people there are surprisingly calm and diverse. I mean, surprisingly for an internet community; most could pass just as a very weird group in another context.
But if you go signing for politics communities on the internet, you’ll get the expected result.
