- Comment on Velma can't math. 3 days ago:
Plus the first two seasons basically had the producers get fired, and a new person brought in.
That would be bad for any show.
- Comment on Fight me 4 days ago:
It would end up creating some, due to inefficiencies, which may contribute.
- Comment on Banana 4 days ago:
It’s still around. It just got replaced by the new banana for produce.
You can still buy Gros Michel bananas, they’re just harder to find compared to a Cavendish.

So are you. They’re not special.
- Comment on egg time 5 days ago:
You do see it sometimes, where people complain that dinosaurs are no longer fearsome giant lizards because we found out that they might have feathers, on social media and places.
It generally becomes obvious that they have never met a goose, chicken, or been at risk of swooping before.

Let’s compromise and call them both fish.

To think we could have almost had the Octopus system Hong Kong uses.

They’re nice when they work. Problem is when they don’t.

Why are the new Myki readers so awful? I’d argue them to be worse than even the first-generation readers with a bad read.
The entire device basically gets locked out on a bad read for about a minute. If your Myki doesn’t read properly, or your phone is acting up, a few retries could lock out a big chunk of the ststion gates.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 1 week ago:
IMO the appeal isn’t the actual breakfast in bed, it’s having your partner care for you enough to make you breakfast and bring it to you.
- Comment on Is there an anti- sleep-paralysis device? 1 week ago:
Lately, she doesn’t even wake up and she just kinda turns in her sleep and whacks me in the face like she’s hitting the snooze button. It’s… admittedly been very effective.

- Comment on How would you quickly describe Lemmy to a non-fediverse person? 1 week ago:
I don’t think a non-Fediverse person would be very familiar with Mastodon. They’d be more likely to go “What, like elephants?”.
I would keep it really simple, and just go for “Reddit alternative”. The whole Federation and decentralised business is going to be a sledgehammer if you introduce it to someone who’s not familiar with the concept.
- Comment on How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics? 1 week ago:
Then you shit out the slop content and hope your channel picks up. If it fails to drive numbers you abandon it and start with the next channel with the next topic variation. If you get lucky and the algorithm blesses you, you continue to shit out hundreds of videos.
I’m not even sure that you would have to do the abandoning part. There’s likely toolkits that let you upload to multiple channels at once. You can just start them up and spread them out as you wish.
- Comment on It's true... 2 weeks ago:
That’s a good way to get kicked out of the wet lab. Most tutors are incredibly serious about treating bodies with respect, you can’t take photos, or muck around with them.
Going Hamlet with them would be absolutely not on.

Hate it when the bed ends up cooked.

Induction does do that. It’s too bad that they tend to have the rather opposite problem where because they go so quickly, a lot of the time, the graduations aren’t fine enough to work with.
If it wasn’t for the fact that electricity was so expensive (3x the price for power, though an induction stove uses half as much), I’d not mind using an induction hob nearly all the time.
- Comment on Steady 5 weeks ago:
I honestly don’t think that they paid that much. Most of it is probably just some stock animation that they bought and use, rather than anything specific.
- Comment on Or the common cold! 5 weeks ago:
But they’re also not completely ignorant either. They’re just greedy, and don’t care about much else.
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 1 month ago:
Another victim of the high blood pressure epidemic 😔
He should’ve tried eating less salt.
- Comment on Are fossil fuels vegan? 1 month ago:
There’s a fair bit of nuance around the topic of whether honey should be vegan or not, since honeybees also overproduce, and that is its own problem. Like with sheep’s wool.
Although crude oil has the additional complication where it’s an incidental post-death product, like fertiliser, and from that viewpoint, it would be about as ethical.

Could have a truthworthiness score that can increase posting limits in the backend.

You mentioned diverse weather conditions in your grant application, and we can’t have that.

But sure, some bones on your ass I guess.
Exactly. Why live?
- Comment on when ur higher than sagan 1 month ago:
Assuming this effect existed, wouldn’t the memory of the water be polluted with all kind of things (as water is recycled all the time)?
Yes.
If longer exposure makes the memory stronger, you should be getting a lethal dose of salt quite easily
No, it would be the reverse. The water would magnetise to the salt, and draw it out of you, making you very dead.
- Comment on when ur higher than sagan 2 months ago:
The supposed science behind homeopathy was already known, though. It was never a mystery.
It basically worked around the pseudoscientific principle that water remembered what used to be in it, so it you diluted out water concentrated with the thing you had, it would somehow “remember” what was in it, and when taken, would draw it from the body through done principle of magnetism, or something like that.

Makes some sense. If it can absorb nutrients, it can probably absorb gases too.
- Comment on 👁️🐽👁️ 2 months ago:
It’s like the brain. There’s a tiny barrier that keeps the immune system out of it, and it breaking down is thought to be the cause of a few major brain conditions.

They supply the rest of the eye. It’s just the transparent bit on front that doesn’t get much of anything.
- Comment on 👁️🐽👁️ 2 months ago:
They do have blood, as any ER doc could tell you.
However, they can also breathe in a manner of speaking. Enough that it’s proposed as a possible method to keep someone alive if their lungs don’t work.
- Comment on best episodes for people who've never seen star trek? 2 months ago:
At the same time, Yesterday’s Enterprise needs some context. It doesn’t work quite as well in a vacuum.
Like why it was such a big deal that Tasha Yar finding out she didn’t exist in another timeline, why the Klingon war is such a horrible development, and why the Enterprise was willing to put itself on the line to send them back to change history.
Plus it’s also unusually gory for TNG. A couple of people die in quite violent and horrible ways, and they could easily be misread as being the standard tone for the show, rather than the exception.
