I remember hearing on QI about a snake that eats a poisonous frog in order to become poisonous itself. Don’t think it was Australian but who knows.

Apparently platypuses glow under a blacklight, much like sperm does. That’s the joke, in case anyone didn’t know.

I think they were saying it was unpleasant for them, not the person dyIng.

LCDs came in just in time for me to be attending LAN parties in uni. Got sick of lugging my CRT up the stairs once a week pretty quickly and was glad when I managed to get my hands on an LCD. I can’t even remember if I noticed the downgrade, I was so thrilled with the portability.

The antagonist of Cataclysm is actually legitimately scary.

It was a strong point of the original and Cataclysm…

There’s a video of astronauts doing the heavy thing vs feather in vacuum experiment. I think it was a hammer rather than a bowling ball tho.

Could be worse, they could have evolved a taste for a nutritionally empty, toxic leaf.

This looks like nonsense, but what do I know? In any case I prefer not to think about it. :P

I wanna cave this guy’s face in. Not because of the milk, sushi, okay sign or lack of eye contact. He just seems like an arsehole and has a super punchable face.
- Comment on I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks. 4 months ago:
I’m okay with most of this, but don’t want to see this logic universally applied. For example, I think art should be preserved, and that includes games. Consigning years of work from dozens to hundreds of people to the void because the publisher got tired of it absolutely should be considered a monumental failure.
- Comment on don't listen to big gravity!!!!! 5 months ago:
Unironically yes. Gravity is the weakest of the 4 main forces.
- Comment on Fortnite will let you hide "confrontational" emotes, including the game's most popular 5 months ago:
Unless you’re gonna shell out for high end gaming rigs for everyone, that ship has sailed. And framerate actually affects player performance. By comparison, this is nothing.
- Comment on Anon is in love 5 months ago:
The “app” is just a frontend, a thin venier over a cloud-hosted service that doesn’t even know anon “deleted” it. Functionally, the same result could be achieved by not opening the app for a few days.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 5 months ago:
In my understanding, intrusive thoughts is something like this: you`re walking along the street and pass a woman pushing a pram, and a thought pops up reminding you that you could kick it into the traffic if you wanted, and here’s all the consequences. And because you’re not a psycho you reel at the idea, wanting to smack your head for even imagining it. But there is no temptation, no urging. The thought cannot “win” because it is not trying to get you to do it, it’s just an imagined possible scenario.
This is something different from having an impulse, which is something you could act upon as you describe. Or, I suppose, it is indeed to just decide to do something from your intrusive thoughts, but that seems unlikely because a key part of the definition of “intrusive thought” is that the thought must be unwelcome and/or distressing.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 5 months ago:
I am not hearing voices urging me to do things, don’t worry :P
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 5 months ago:
Yes, I have inner monologue. And yes I know what I am describing is intrusive thoughts.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 5 months ago:
The act in the picture isn’t a thought at all. It’s the result of someone deciding to do something destructive to see the result. I can’t imagine the thought “what if I stuck my soldering iron in the side of my solder spool” was that unwanted, distressing or upsetting, either. After all, OP decided to do it.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 5 months ago:
Yeah we`re both getting downvoted for this, it seems.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 5 months ago:
Yes. All the time, and worse options besides. But there’s no temptation to do those things. It`s more like I’m being reminded that those are options, that nothing besides my own will – and the fact that I am in control of my body – prevents me from doing them. It’s scary. I hate it.
The part I don’t get is the idea that other people claim to have voices urging them to do these things.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 5 months ago:
I have to assume so. Mine are very much not welcome or tempting in the slightest.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 5 months ago:
I am not tempted by my intrusive thoughts, personally. Never understood the “intrusive thoughts won” meme. :P
