- Comment on What would it take to change an Internal Combustion Engine Car to an EV? 1 year ago:
DIY EV kits are a thing, but a quick google shows some wildly varying prices. Probably depends on exactly what kind of car you are trying to refit and the performance you’re looking for.
- Comment on Cavities were cured in 1985, and no one knows it yet 1 year ago:
If this was patented in 1985, that patent would have expired in 2005 so I’m not really sure what you’re on about. This whole thing screams “VC scam” to me so I haven’t bothered looking into the actual patents, but I’m sure there’s more to it than just “person sat on a patent for 20 years”.
- Comment on Should I just quit urban and social life for a rural and lonely life? 1 year ago:
Lol I knew that didn’t sound right but couldn’t figure out why. Thanks!
- Comment on Should I just quit urban and social life for a rural and lonely life? 1 year ago:
Do what you have to. At the end of the day nothing is coming with you to the other side.
- Comment on How does one resist getting into protracted arguments while still staying informed? 1 year ago:
Listen to experts. Stay off of social media. Get used to visualizing the average commenter on anything as a middle schooler. Talk to your friends about important topics. Learn how to vet sources. Challenge your beliefs. Recognize what cognitive dissonance feels like to you and seek it out. Focus on things that matter to your life. Read all the way through articles.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 1 year ago:
At least for me, its a threshold problem. The internet means that staying at home is always going to be at least somewhat interesting, which makes it a lot harder to take a gamble on a random late night outing. It’s not just staying out late, either—Gen Z shows declines in a whole host of risky behaviors. Smoking, alcohol, drug use, teen pregnancy, are all way down in our generation.

Good question! Because neurons differ widely in location and function throughout your body, there are a number of possible outcomes depending on what exactly you mean by “all”. I’ve listed a few of those outcomes below!
Every neuron in your entire body: you die.
Every neuron in your body under conscious control: you die.
Every neuron in your Central Nervous System(brain and spinal cord): you die.
Every neuron in your brain: you die.
Every neuron in your brain that’s not in your hindbrain: you still die, but slightly slower and more agonizing.
Every neuron in your cerebrum: you die, but going from seconds to minutes here is progress!
Every neuron in your forebrain: you might conceivably survive this, albeit with severe personality changes and massive cognitive declines. Then again, it’s almost certainly going to trigger a massive seizure. In which case you just die.
- Comment on Would you all prefer lemmy as a whole reaches the userbase of reddit, or to remain smaller? 1 year ago:
Number doesn’t matter, quality and engagement does. If people make an effort to keep engaging with posts and leaning in, this place will be good no matter the user count. As it is, 100k or so active users seem like enough to keep the flow of posts fresh, but not enough for them to be populated with lots of comments
