- Comment on How did "ancient humans" got the idea to pierce their ears/body ? 3 days ago:
originally, it could have been not consensual, in point of fact.
Frequently, piercings were ways of marking people as being property or similar. Frequently, also, it was a way of marking tribal affiliations.
- Comment on How did "ancient humans" got the idea to pierce their ears/body ? 3 days ago:
Otzi had ear piercings- ~3300 b.c.e.
so yeah. that checks out.
- Comment on How do I keep a brand new one of these mats from wanting to keep curling up on the ends? 3 days ago:
These things usually are stored rolled up, and they curl when new because of that.
Usually they’ll lay flat in their own inside of a week. I have seen people hasten that with a heatgun or small portable room heater- just enough to warm it a bit.
I’ve also seen people melt them trying that.
- Comment on I'll do it 5 days ago:
Somebody get that bird a baggie!
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 5 days ago:
I dunno. I think it’s really too bad they melted down the demon core. I’d probably trust him to run a supercriticality experiment all on his own.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 6 days ago:
Most of us aren’t.
The ones that are, are already so far down the rabbit hole they wouldn’t recognize reality anyway.
- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 1 week ago:
Cyclists being stupid is why i want them segregated from me. And pedestrians, too.
Like. No. If we never cross paths, they can’t be idiots and bolt out of a blind corner and get turned into a red smear, and send me to jail.

- Comment on What's the cure to doomerism? 1 week ago:
I feel like doomerism is what happens when people don’t have the power to change the systemic problems they see.
Like 18+thousand people were marching yesterday. Peaceful protest. It was lovely.
Today, BPC/ICE just killed another person in minneapolis for the sole reason that that person stepped up to keep them from brutalizing a woman whose sole offense was being in the area.
- Comment on How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election? 1 week ago:
Its speculated that Trump is obsessed with greenland because he thinks its huge due to map distortion on mercator map projections. A way to show how dumb this is indirectly would be to give out free globes.
Tech bros pulling Stephen Miller’s puppet strings want greenland’s minerals.
Also just a side note, Greenland is roughly 3 times the size of texas. It’s not exactly “small”, even if mercator maps do make it look significantly larger than it is. (comparably to africa, lol.)
- Comment on How did Zohran Mamdani win conservative voters over without using the terms "socialism", "communism" or "capitalism"? 1 week ago:
Basically, he focused on needs for NYers.
-childcare, busing for kids, rent controls.
Also watch anything with him out and about. Like. He’s very genuine where most politicians have that “photo op smile.”

- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 1 week ago:
I’d be curious about your recipe.
I already have a few go-tos though. (Have you ever tried using sourdough discard in waffles? I got the idea from KAF, And they’re amazing
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 1 week ago:
Brioche is definitely for toast/french toast/samdwhiches.
I’ve only seen big loves like that for restaurants though.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Man, I hope he failed.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Well.
You see. J-douche up there? He likes ‘em young and thinks every guy does, too.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
To be fair, they did say “biological job”
So I’d go with Rosalind Franklin who was 30ish when she did the X-ray diffusion thing and found dna was molecular.
Or Barbara McClintock, 46, work on “jumping genes”.
;)
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like "analog" stuff is more "tangible"? 1 week ago:
And computers.
- Comment on Why did I feel so hungry today for no reason? 2 weeks ago:
This is really a conversation you should have with a doctor, and not randos on the internet.
But there’s a few things- you seem to have a massive carb load (the fried rice), can make you drowsy (even if the rice is a low glycemic carb, enough is still going to spike your blood sugar.)
Your body then responds by producing insulin, which reduces blood sugars, if blood sugar shot up quickly, the body works to bring it back into balance quickly.
Which, 13 hours later led to low blood sugar and wanting to eat something.
The reason you need to talk with a doctor is because none of us are going to adequately diagnose anything wrong (and it could be more than a potential for diabetes or being prediabetic.)
With your mention of your father that is a risk factor so it might be a good idea to check anyhow.
The dizziness is an indication of low blood sugars, by the way. Which a can of soda is a frequent form of first-care.
13+ hours is a long time to go without some kind of food intake (or drinks.), though, so you may want to take a look at your eating habits if it’s a regular occurrence and doctors don’t see anything alarming.
- Comment on If I publish my memoir and wrote about every bad thing people did to hurt me while the people mentioned are still alive, how much trouble could I get in? 2 weeks ago:
and sometimes, they still are used appropriately, and still end up with a ruined life.
if the other side has fuck-you money and you don’t have fuck-you money, guess what their strategy is going to be?
- Comment on If I publish my memoir and wrote about every bad thing people did to hurt me while the people mentioned are still alive, how much trouble could I get in? 2 weeks ago:
You did just help, though.
Ironic.

It isn’t even necessary a question of who’d win.
You can tell the absolute truth and technically “win” all the defamation lawsuits you want, and still lose.
- Comment on Sad Ganymede noises 3 weeks ago:
I’d okay with that. As long as it’s still technically a planet. (what? it’s my favorite!)
- Comment on Sad Ganymede noises 3 weeks ago:
Pluto is a dwarf planet, which is still a planet.
Also, they absolutely should have just made an exception for Pluto so science teachers everywhere could have used that as a fun teaching point.
- Comment on Is there anything of any interests for the tech bros in Greenland? 3 weeks ago:
formerly called thule. it’s now Pituffik Space Base
- Comment on Is there anything of any interests for the tech bros in Greenland? 3 weeks ago:
Trump isn’t that much of a strategist. Mostly he just does whatever the person who most recently blew smoke up his as says.
the techbros want greenland for the minerals, and for the record, we already have a base there. (Pitufik, it’s in the hands of the space force, and is a communications base with equipment for missile defense stuff as well.)
- Comment on I love science 4 weeks ago:
I was making an observation, rather than speculation.
I once made a joke about sea urchins and rule34…. Several people rule 35’d it
- Comment on I love science 4 weeks ago:
I’m sure there’s something out there. Rule 34 and all that.
- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 4 weeks ago:
Unless he’s building a custom loop because he’s really into building custom pcs, then liquid cooling isn’t worth it.
A decent heat sink on the CPU and several fans blowing correctly in the case will do just as good. The only real drawback is that they’re not as quiet under high load.
As for AIOs, it’s been a while but I doubt rather a lot that they re on par as far as price goes, and you’re going to be better off buying better (read: noctua) fans.
More/larger fans also can be ran at lower rpm’s for the same cooling and get even quieter. (And have that much more under high load.)
- Comment on Could you be relatively healthy if you replaced traditional carb sources with skittles and multivitamins? 4 weeks ago:
No.
you need proteins. neither skittles nor the vast majority of multivitamins contain proteins. And in any case, the vast majority of “junkfood diets” suck for your health. Usually they’re a gimmick to teach you about caloric intake for weightloss (and maybe some chemistry.)
