  Also I’m not gonna look it up to confirm but that ketoacidosis explanation sounds like a grave misunderstanding of what it is.

  Honestly not sure how I should respond to this. I’d rather you either research it yourself and call me out or simply nod and follow along. But you chose this weird middle ground.

  Just Works™ technology has a lot of value (assuming the thing does in fact just work).

  And that assumption is unfounded in Apple’s case. My parents have constant issues with their iPhones that you would never get on Android. But my mom is convinced that it’s easier to use than Android despite never having tried Android

  Sugar is also acidic. Not enough to kill you, but that’s why ketoacidosis kills people. It also increases blood viscosity, making it pump harder and causing hypertension. Plus, it causes chronic inflammation, which calcifies triglycerides in your blood to form clots.

  Sugar has tons of negative effects.

  Also significantly fewer roaches. In my experience they’re more common in the south due to the warmer weather

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lightning bugs!!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pathfinder 2e literally has bioluminescence bombs that’s just jarred firefly juice that’s secreted by humanoid fey that resemble the bugs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lightning bugs!!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also humans continually expanding and building in previously undeveloped areas. It crowds out other species.

  30 years ago it didnt matter if you raked your leaves because there were still plenty of areas for lightning bugs to migrate in from. But when everyone’s surrounded by miles of suburbs the lightning bugs have further to go for you to see them

  Fun fact, turtle racing is/was a thing. And it uses painted turtles

  Tangential fact: syphillis originated in the Americas, likely from llamas. It’s the only instance of a transmittable disease to be imported to the old world.

  This also makes me a bit annoyed at the show 'Apothecary Diaries" as it depicts syphillis existing in China in the 700AD

  Same. I gave Tunic a fair shot until I had to use a guide to get further due to the devs cheaply hiding a teleport gate in the map. Plus the spirit gauntlet was its own bit of bs

  Oh, and harikari usually has a helper.

  Other way around. Seppuku is the whole ritual, which includes the helper. But if you just gut yourself out in the woods with no ceremony, it’s harikiri

  Fair

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arachnid Army⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Sentient’ is a bit of a stretch. ‘Living’ or ‘moving’ would be closer.

  Comparing the brains of bugs to animals that are considered sentient (such as humans, dolphins, corvids, etc) is like comparing Hello World to an AGI

  Seconded. I feel similarly with some bad audiobooks. I’ve considered seeding them, but then that’s more listeners who might like it and give them money. So I settled for leaving bad reviews and washing my hands of it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a good group!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I thino that’s more to do with Hearts of Iron not being fully realistic in Germany’s industrial capacity. All the memes and myths about them make them out to be far more capable than they really were in reality and HoI are matching that perception.

  In reality, Germany’s success was largely due to huge risks and brinkmanship, and the Allies kept backing down and letting the Axis take bites out of them. There were many points in time where any allied response would have wiped out the German military, particularly their invasions Alsace-Lorraine and the Sudetenland. On top of that, all of the Axis had military doctrines based on fast, intense, and most importantly short campaigns where they could soly rely on stockpiles.

  Once the Axis achieved some (admittedly large) successes, they started believing they could take on the Allies in a full scale attritional war, which is what eventually ground them to dust. They could have potentially won if they kept taking small bites, but that’s not the war that was fought.
