- Comment on What is the probability that the atoms that I am made of once formed someone's penis? 6 hours ago:
Not just that, but our living bodies are composed of something like ~50% bacteria and other organisms, and with mites living in our pores, eyelashes, etc.
Wish I could just tap out and pass control over to them for a while, sometimes. “Here, you guys have fun, I’ll see you in 8 hours.”
- Comment on I choose hating your job in unconventional ways. 8 hours ago:
Wow. I can’t even really conceptualize what that would taste like, nor do I want to find out.

Here I started typing up a comment asking what the fuck ‘Taco noodles’ were, then I looked more closely. What the fuck, I’ve never seen taco-flavored ramen before.
- Comment on Was just watching THE Newsroom Clip. Does JD still hold water? Or have we gone way past that? But in your opinion what if anything makes America great??? 1 day ago:
One thing I think most people can agree makes America great: Our national park system. We have some absolutely beautiful, expansive and unique national parks. Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon are probably the most well-known but they’re only two of 63 total that we have.
Personally, I think natural wonders are better than man-made ones, and you can say what you want about America, but I don’t know anyone who’s gone to see the Grand Canyon (for example) and hasn’t been just utterly amazed by it.
- Comment on Guys did I do it right 1 day ago:
The cost to move it when street cleaning or plowing or whatever is coming through would exceed the cost of a storage unit, I’d imagine.
- Comment on How do I change my pfp? 2 days ago:
Your app might not support pfp changes, but if you log in on Web, you can do it in the profile settings page.
- Comment on i want to play The Last Of Us except Joel's daughter un the very first part of the game is replaced by Mr Burns from The Simpsons 2 weeks ago:
Not the same character at all. The game starts with you playing as his actual daughter at the very start of the zombie crisis. She dies in the first 10 minutes of the game, then the game time-skips to the point where the rest of the game takes place. It sets up the reason Joel develops a connection with Ellie in the first place.
- Comment on Is there a place online to ask for Non Money donations? like books, jerseys, or whatever? kind of like go fund me or kickstarter without giving someone money kind of like a gofundme donations thing? 3 weeks ago:
Not exactly what you’re looking for I don’t think but you might check for local Freecycle groups.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 3 weeks ago:
I think about this a lot. So many technologies that we have, if we could trust everyone involved to be acting in humanity’s best interest, would be amazing. If we didn’t have to guard our personal data like Fort Knox, there’s so many great things we could do with extensive connectedness. If we didn’t have to doubt the sincerity of everyone who promotes a service or product, everything would be so much better.
We can’t have any of those things, because humans are shitty, and are as a whole just in it for themselves.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Just google it, I’m sure it’ll be fine.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
It’s just a video game breeding system. Like you’re trying to make the human with ideal stats by combining other humans’ stats. Funny that Real Life mimics video games like that; good thing there’s no single entity behind it, or Nintendo would sue.

Plot twist: This is in the lobby at a Vet clinic.
- Comment on LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next? 4 weeks ago:
That feels like a weak argument, revenge porn is a crime, so is illustrated csam.
Not everywhere. If it’s legal where the admin lives and legal where the server is hosted, you can’t really make this argument. You could make the argument that it’s morally wrong, but like… the point is that it’s a possible point of contention, and not as cut-and-dried as you suggest.
- Comment on LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next? 4 weeks ago:
Also the ideology of a nsfw community is a straight-forward issue.
You’d think so, but like… What about disagreements over what type of content should be allowed? Should they allow AI generated stuff? Revenge porn? Illustrated art depicting minors? Specific extreme fetishes?
- Comment on What comes to your mind on hearing the word 'itzretk'? 5 weeks ago:
It’s wrecked.

#Hero Snot Pests
- Comment on ancient hyperfixations 5 weeks ago:
I initially misread that as ‘gynecological and medical history’ and it put an entirely different and quite unpleasant spin on the whole story.
- Comment on Can't believe it's been renamed for a year now! 5 weeks ago:
Yeah… “We can’t undo all of the unprecedented shit the previous admin did because it would set a precedent for future admins” is just about the stupidest argument I can think of. Tear it all down and start from scratch, clearly what we have isn’t working.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 5 weeks ago:
I learned about it from a story I heard of someone who traveled from the US to Thailand, saw it on the menu at a restaurant and ordered it, expecting it to be the sort of fried rice you’d get in the US at an Asian restaurant. They were unpleasantly surprised.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 5 weeks ago:
Notably, Americans are not the only culture that does this.
There’s a Thai dish called ‘American Fried Rice’ for instance.
American fried rice is a Thai fried rice dish with “American” side ingredients like fried chicken, ham, sausages, raisins, and ketchup.[1] Other ingredients like pineapples and croutons are optional.
At least in any part of America I’ve been to, this is certainly not something you can get here.
- Comment on Can't believe it's been renamed for a year now! 5 weeks ago:
It’s fucking embarrassing, honestly. I hope whomever is president next reverses all of the BS executive orders. Like, day 1. You could argue that there’s far more important things to be doing than changing the Gulf of Mexico back to being the Gulf of Mexico, and you’d be right, but doing it on day 1 (along with everything else - just write one executive order that undoes every EO from the prior admin) sends the (important) message that there was nothing of value done by the prior admin, and the legitimacy of the administration is not even being entertained for a moment.
- Comment on No swiping involved: the AI dating apps promising to find your soulmate 5 weeks ago:
Fate will also coach users through their interactions, if they desire, a functionality Jasmine described as helpful and another user said was “scary” and “a bit like Black Mirror’.
My first thought, too. There were a few Black Mirror episodes that pretty closely mimic this.
- Comment on Whats the best way to clean up 15 years of stuff around the house? 5 weeks ago:
If you’re moving, then set some firm boundaries: You will have 1 moving truck (or whatever you’re using) - if it won’t fit in the truck, you can’t keep it, full stop. If there’s something that won’t fit that you absolutely must keep, you’ve got to remove something else to make room for it.
Take it one room at a time, or even one quarter of a room at a time. Don’t cherry pick things to remove - just start at one end and remove everything. It either goes in the dumpster, or it goes in the truck, but it can’t stay in the house, and you’ve got to choose one. There’s no “We’ll decide on this later”.
- Comment on The Duality of Lemmy 5 weeks ago:
The newer monster hunter games try to explain it away as functionality conservation efforts, telling you that the ones you’re killing are throwing off the local ecosystem, but it falls pretty flat when they also pit captured ‘research specimens’ against you in the arena they built explicitly for that purpose…
- Comment on I literally can't even afford dinner everyday in Paris! 1 month ago:
That’s cool. I hate that we have to vote every piece of media through the ‘is this AI?’ lens now, but glad to hear it’s legitimate.
- Comment on I literally can't even afford dinner everyday in Paris! 1 month ago:
The colors in the key don’t even match the colors in the graph, is this just AI generated garbage or do you have actual sources to go with it?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Can’t speak from personal experience but from what I’ve heard, it’s more about the concept / theme / emotions than the actual act itself. People (at least, the vast majority) who are into it don’t actually want to experience it in real life; just like with many other more mundane fetishes, it’s more about the fantasy and how it makes you feel to imagine yourself in that situation, and more nebulous concepts like the idea of becoming a physical part of another creature, or the imagined feeling of closeness, constriction, warmth, safety or comfort from being inside something’s stomach. Obviously not things you’d experience if it actually happened to you, but that’s not the point.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I’m not super familiar with the exact specifics, but my loose understanding is that if it’s ‘soft’, the subject survives relatively unharmed. If they die in the process, it’s ‘hard’, whether that’s due to being chewed, asphyxiation, or dissolved (or anything else). (There’s a subcategory called ‘disposal’ which is… exactly what you think it is, following that digestion.)
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I hate that I feel the need to mention this, but…
“Vore” doesn’t necessarily imply ‘torn to shreds’; it could be as simple as being swallowed whole. It comes in ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ varieties, with the former being non-destructive, and the latter being… well, what you thought.
- Comment on How does this thing work? (wrong answers only) 1 month ago:
There’s obviously a group of very small people trapped inside a hamster wheel style contraption. As the fan structure heats up, the floor of the wheel grows uncomfortably hot, and forces the little people to continuously run to avoid getting burned (continually cycling the cooler top of the wheel down to the bottom). This in turn turns the fan blades.
I am honestly appalled that you would buy such a thing; it’s cruel.
