- Comment on How do you objectively tell if a parents "I love you" is actually sincere, if they actually care about you? Or if the words are lies and they don't actually care? 1 day ago:
May be both, but universally, actions speak louder than words.
- Comment on People who think an attack on another user is approproate for this sub, and the mods that enable them 3 days ago:
Ah, I see it now. I’d agree that the post should be removed, because it’s mostly noise, it isn’t even an attack.
Maybe the description could have been clearer, to help clueless people like me who aren’t used to all the different UIs Lemmy can be accessed from.
- Comment on People who think an attack on another user is approproate for this sub, and the mods that enable them 3 days ago:
I see no significant attack in your screenshot, if you want mods to censor to such level, you’ll make this place hostile for casual talk, a fascist place where people will preemptively censor themselves before being punished.
If you so passionately dislike the thorn guy, block him, and let others decide if they want to block him too. Don’t impose your tastes on the public.
- Comment on How hard would it be to trap gated communities by crashing dozens of cars into the front of their gates blocking them from leaving ? 1 week ago:
I think you’d just make Uber Helicopter start sooner.
- Comment on Are platforms like reddit just "internet noise" and bots or just genuinely the darkest parts of humanity? 1 week ago:
Reddit has become a profit-driven cesspool, even more that it was before their IPO and the LLM craze.
It is still home to great communities, so don’t drink from the firehouse, google Reddit+interest and only visit those communities. Subscribe if they match what you need. Ignore the main feed, it’s a perennial garbage dump.
- Comment on What do you call the beleif that gods are just higher beings on other planes of existence? 3 weeks ago:
Okay, it’s superstition, of which religion is a variant. There’s a very thin line between having faith in the supernatural and worship.
- Comment on What do you call the beleif that gods are just higher beings on other planes of existence? 3 weeks ago:
Yup. Believing in higher beings from other dimension is just religion with different words. Only when the belief is based on fact and not faith can it not be religion.

Okay Beavis, Butthead, nap time!

It is believed fingerbois used their long, flexible fingers as whips to scare predators.

I’m in awe of your statistical operations on mammals.

“H-hello? I’m sorry to be ungrateful, but I’m afraid the pizza I ordered with you came back without pepperoni… I don’t want to be a bother, j-just send the pepperonis and I’ll place them myself… thank you, sorry again”
- Comment on Fictional 3 weeks ago:
One light year is 9.4607379e+15 meters, so there’s a power of 10 that could give us a unit of length close to 94 cm. That would not be as arbitrary.
But fuck me if we discover the speed of light has not been constant along the history of the universe, the c would be an awful base for cosmic distance, or very long term science.
But don’t worry, humanity doesn’t look like it will exist long enough to do very long term science.
- Comment on Velma can't math. 3 weeks ago:
Holy cow, it’s a 70s franchise, but I misremembered, even though I watched dubs in the 80s! Technically it’s a 60s franchise because it was born in 1969.
- Comment on AWS outage reminds us why $2,449 Internet-dependent beds are a bad idea 4 weeks ago:
Oh shit that looks like the Fallout 76 Enclave cot! And you say its smart‽ Give me 20!
- Comment on Velma can't math. 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know. Seeing how modern shows like Foundation, The Witcher, or Star Trek Discovery, to name a few, have gratuitously walked over their own canon, I can understand how the producers thought Velma was a good idea for a new Scooby Doo show.
- Comment on Velma can't math. 4 weeks ago:
It was never about Scooby Doo. IIRC, this was supposed to be an original show, but latching it to a successful 99s franchise must have looked like a sure money maker.

You ignoramus. This is what allows us artistic geniuses to freely unleash our gifts to the world, what we call “creative liberty”.
- Comment on snail lyfe 4 weeks ago:
The next question I’d expect from a little kid would be “why is your hair long?”.
And another why, and another, and another…
- Comment on Existential Questions 4 weeks ago:
Or “only as a collateral effect of providing value for myself”.
- Comment on What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over? 4 weeks ago:
We’re still talking about dancing, right?
- Comment on Fear their power 4 weeks ago:
If my species had 20K sexes, sex wouldn’t be an essential part of my identity. It would be like my fingerprints being part of my personality.

Isn’t the pineapple sweet enough that sugar could be omitted?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Make up should disappear, and more emphasis should be applied in medically-sound skin care. Your skin should be healthy enough that you don’t need to cover it with paint.
I get that using colors is fun, but makeup as it is today is way beyond reasonable, it’s not only about painting your skin, it’s about insecurity.
Painted hair is cool though.
- Comment on Fear their power 4 weeks ago:
That was my thought as well. That many sexes, if they can be called sexes, basically means everyone would have a single indeterminate sex. Imagine filling a form and selecting your sex among a 20K list of names.
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 4 weeks ago:
Shepherds are famous for having lots of free time to write religious fanfiction so future generations bicker about it.

You can do my chores for me if you want, I know it’s little but it’s something.

Every seedless fruit is a testament of how humanity has deviated from its original, seed nurturing purpose.

Speaking of nefarious government actions; is it still cannibalism if your DNA is that of a dinosaur now?
Imagine the money from rich people eating dinosaur steaks.

Sorry, cancer is a prerequisite for dinosaurification.

Everyone should mind their beesness.
