• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say; don’t take other peoples opinion in mind. If you make eachother happy; you are good.

  If your question is focusing on the reaction of the average person. I would say the average person walking past you on the street, will not raise their eyebrow unless one of the partners looks underage. Or if the 30 year old looks significantly older than 30.

  Replace all your comments with ai output. That will let them train on their own output. Make sure there is no original thought. Make it seem that it is in context and hard to filter out for both human and robot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I cannot hook an ethernet cable to a router because the router is using all the plugs. What is a backup to make a Lemmy instance with Yunohost? If there’s no other way, what else can I use?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you can’t pull a cable and are dependant on wi-fi, but still want a cable at the end point, buy a wi-fi bridge. You can see it as a switch that you can connect your stuff to with cables, but tje connection between the bridge and the router will be wireless wi-fi.

  Your computers won’t know they are using a wireless connection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I create a Lemmy instance without coding or the use of Ethernet/router wiring?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a Raspberry Pi. Newer models have wi-fi. Then you can host all kind of stuff. As long as it is for your own use, you don’t need that much computing power. As far as software is concerned, the type of connection physical doesn’t matter. Wi-fi stability can be excellent or it can be super frustrating. Depending on your circumstance.

  Get one and try it. Learn by doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The reader might think that your questions are overlaping, making adressing every question redundant. You might want clarity. The reader thinks you can figure it out based on their one answer. They don’t want to spend the time to confirm that which you already have the tools to get to yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do animals think we're cute?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I read something about some resarchers looking at what goes on in the brains of elephants when interracring with humans. They concluded that it was similar to the reaction when humans encounter cute things. Was a really long time since i read that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Buy a microscope and look at some bacteria. They evolve fast, in real time, by the same principles other living organisma do.

  Science is the process of observing, puting forth hypothesis based on observation and then doing your best to disprove that. It is the best method humankind has figured out for getting to truths about what we see around us. If you want absolute proofs, look no further than maths. In the real world, we do the best we can with science. Religion does not fulfill the same role as science do. Religion is not even close to the same concept as science. Religion is more akin to fictional works, like Tolkiens, lord of the rings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans, How do you pour soda into a cup with ice without the soda going flat?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cold soda in a glass, add ice while trying to agitate the liquid as little as possible. Cold liquids have greater capacity for dissolving gasses. It is less prone to release boubles. Use an ice machine for your ice. Smooth ice has fewer nucleation points for the co2 boubles to form. Cold, slow and smooth. Expect to loose some carbonation. In the cases i have very rugged ice from the freezer, i sprinkle some soda or water on them to melt the outer layer before adding my drink slowly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨low iq in love with high iq person, is that bad??⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Iq means very little other than being am idicator of how good you are at iq tests.

  Probably doen’t apply to everyone, but i feel like intelligent people experience a lot of stress asociated with performing to surrounding expectations. They tend to be less stressed when hanging around people they don’t need to perform for.

  In your case, ask him about it. He might feel perfectly content around you. You might even be a calming presence.

  I’d say me and my partner are equals. But I imagine I would have no Issue If they were less intellectually inclined. Or more for that matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’m probably no longer center-left. If you could decide from my thinking, what political affiliation should I research to see if it fits me?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Allot of sexuality here. Almost nothing about politics.

  You lack the ability to imagine future issues for yourself. Work on this. Cause when those rights are gone, they are not comming back. Pay attention, avoid future pain.

  If you can’t feel empathy you might be a psychopath or narcisist. As far as I understand, that is a hard thing to live with. Tough luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you eat soap for acid reflux?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is varies from mildly unpleasant to a very unpleasant feeling in your throat. Sometimes it spreads to the chest, though i have never experienced that. Some day you too will feel this feeling. Try eating poorly and much for many days in a row.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Or how about this:

  The body is a super complex chemical eco-system. Messing with it is understandably super difficult, if you do not want to cause damage. All drugs have side effects. Known or otherwise. Using drugs for any reason is like throwing a funnily shaped wrench in to a factory you do not fully understand. It always causes problems. In medical science we try to figure out what type of wrench causes the least destruction while providing some benefit. We then weigh the benefits against the downsides. Leave these decisions to someone that has dedicated their life to this science. Let them make educated guesses for you. Instead of you just guessing. Generally, don’t use any drug unless you have to. Stop as soon as is recommended by you doctor. Assume that any drug you use, will have a permanent, accumulative detrimental effect on the body. Just to be safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How comes despite modern medecine, (western) society is less violent ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I wager the reason why people are not dueling each other, to solve their differences today, is that they simply have more options in how they go about it. I don’t think the survival rate of stab wounds factor in to the decision at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not arguing that this happens everywhere, in the same way and is then set in stone forever. People in different places and times had different circumstances. Hence, they could have chosen to handled things differently. Cultural norms can also sometimes change over night. Look at the sexual revolution of the 60-70s for example.

  I was trying to answer the question where this norm comes from. Not why this norm isn’t universal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. I think that is where we are heading. In societies with high quality of life and high standard of eduction, it is already an expectation. Unfortunately there are places today, that are still somewhat mediaeval.

  To clarify; the reason why males might have initially made these requests of their partners is, I reason, insecurity and perhaps fear. Imagine you live in a society where you can not expect protection from anyone except maybe your own family. You find yourself in that threatening situation. Your choices of what to do about it are limited. From the perspective of both the victim and her husband. If most peoples choice are the same, it might become a norm and part of the culture, eventually. You can imagine how the resulting behaviour would probably have been supported by both sexes. Because they feel safer. Because it’s practical and easy. With time it becomes pointless. But it’s culture.

  If I were to find myself in that situation, today, I might have told my wife “let’s leave”. My choices in that moment are still limited. Of course I can report the incident to authorities and what not, after the fact. That sucks for me. It probably sucked even harder 12k years ago.

  I have never found myself in this situation, but I can imagine it. And I think my wife would cover up, not because she wants to, but because it makes her feel safe. That is not great. That is not an argument for bad behaviour. Thankfully we generally feel safe where we live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Evolution doesn’t have a preconceived goal it goes for. There can be pressures of all different kinds. I did not intend to convey that sexual pressure was the sole factor on the evolution of breasts. Clearly they have other functions. I only make the observation that it is a sexual signal for males in the vast majority of mammals. I believe humans are the only mammal with breasts that doesn’t shrink when they are ready, as it were. But I am a proponent of the hypothesis that it was evolved as a trait of sexual secrecy, to confuse males, so the female can attract the favour of more males.

  It’s alright to disagree with the premise that there was no sexual pressure on the evolution of breasts. You would probably be in the minority in the scientific community on that one though.

  For the record; I fancy myself an egalitarianist. I believe in women’s rights. I do not believe slavery is good for any kind of society. I really believe males and females are very similar. Small differences in our physical makeup. That is all.
