I recall hearing it was medium-ish nuclear weapon sized, but not wipe out civilisation size. Wherever it’s heading would need to be evacuated.
That was a week ago, though, and I’m sure the size projections will be updated as we get more data.

I think maybe they were just trying to be funny, not disagree with your request per se.

Coming across this post in eternity threw my brain for a loop. I clicked the comment link in the picture and couldn’t figure out why I was half in my feed, and half in this comment section for a hot second.

Did you maybe accidentally reply “UNSUBSCRIBE” to your shark-facts text?

OK, Grandpa, back to bed. j/k j/k :)
We have multiple industries (movie/tv/gaming/sports) whose main focus is “wasting” time. Finding some enjoyment in linguistics and logic certainly isn’t any more of a waste.

I think you’re right. There’s a bit of an infinite regress problem, isn’t there?

Just a good reason not to dabble in paradoxes before you’ve had some coffee. lol

Oooh, that’s a good one! Its use also makes its user described by itself. Neat!

You’re correct. I had an extra not in there! Good catch.

There’s actually a whole class of these words. They’re called heterological words.
Their opposite, autological (or homological) words are words that do describe themselves. Autological is an autological word because it describes itself.
Here’s a fun question, though: is “heterological” a heterological word? If you say yes, then that means it does not describe itself and therefore it is not heterological. If you say no, then it does describe itself therefore it is heterological. Bit of a head scratcher.
This is the Grelling-Nelson paradox.

Not entirely false. I’d honestly like to see a few more vegan Goudas seasoned properly with caraway seeds! (Not that most non-vegan cheeses get this right either…)
Flavour wise, vegan cheese is pretty good, but there’s definitely still room for improvement.
Ofc, a more “authentic” tasting vegan Gouda cheese probably wouldn’t even belong on pizza in the first place!

Hi, I’ve noticed you’ve used the phrase “Roman salute”. This phrase is now known to have antisemitic undertones. If you could kindly change it to “straight armed salute” to avoid any confusion, it would be much appreciated. Thanks! 😊🙏
(I shit you not, Associated Press called it a “straight armed salute” today, lol, lmao, rjdjfbsjxkcnrnsp)

To test this hypothesis, Gallup, Burch, Zappieri, Parvez, Stockwell, and Davis (2003) simulated sexual encounters using artificial models and measured the magnitude of artificial semen displacement as a function of phallus configuration, depth of thrusting, and semen viscosity.
Hmm.

That explains so much! He’s been so focused on the “X” brand because it’s just a swastika with its arms straight!

- Comment on They just had to one up the TikTok ban 4 weeks ago:
While other people have answered your direct question, I think it’s important to think about it from a slightly more abstract POV as well.
A lot of people left reddit because they were unhappy with being forced off of 3rd party apps. Lemmy provides a fundamentally different (from reddit) mechanism to protect against that sort of centralised overreach: federation. It’s also one of the unique qualities which differentiates us from reddit.
If any instance becomes the de facto standard, as lemmy.world is dangerously close to being, it compromises the strength of havung federated communities.
It’s in all users best interest to avoid centralisation tendencies, and most people would be better suited spending a little time to consider which instance they are best aligned with, and moving to that instance instead of just joining the most popular instance.
