  • What is the background to one eyed dragon? Sounds awesome to me.

  • Was there always a hobbit in the top right corner? That's a master thief for sure, I never saw him before now.

  • That doesnt geht any reaction from me, as I dont use it. It's the USA safety sign, right?

  • I mean... with that attitude and behaviour towards safety rules... probably yes.

    And yeah, nothing worse for teaching students proper and safe handling of chemicals than old technicians. "we never used gloves to pour THF out of this 10L vessel!" "ah just don't breath in too strongly and if you feel funny, go to the window and get a quick breath of fresh air".

  • Man I don't know if I could eat out of that canister.

    Its so ingrained as "CHEMICAL, DO! NOT! EAT!" In my mind.

  • As somebody who grew up without religion: I never really cared about all the metaphysical stuff. I was always interested in learning new things and wanted to understand how the world works. Yet that stuff never even brushed my mind to my knowledge. Maybe I asked my parents when I was smaller which I can't remember anymore, but I definitely didn't get anxiety over it. I accepted what I saw with my own eyes, that was enough for me. I don't need something else besides this world.

    And regarding their child converting: a cousins child is raised atheist and in elementary school got interested in Christianity since most of their class mates went to church. So the child asked the parents, they said: innour opinion there is nothing, but if you are interested, feel free to go to church to learn about their explanation. So that's what they did and last I met the child, they weren't a bible thumbed but still went to their religion class, so the result is not yet in.

  • All Hail the Abh Empire!

  • I mean they are even right. If they would really believe in their ideas, they could throw money at us and we would be far more accepting of their LLM bullshit. But they aren't, so they don't.

  • Memetic osmosis.

    Lots of people know 42 is the answer of everything, but don't know it comes from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

  • I mean, isn't the explanation pretty simple:

    They reserve the right of the individual to be an egoistic, uncaring asshole.

    After reading your comment again: you meant how they applaud the individual act but can't explain why they don't want it to be a applied to the whole community? In that case I agree, no logical explanation.

  • 600 people watched the video and found it impressive.

    Its really easy to loose sight of the proportions when it is just a digital number shown. Imagine a full university lecture hall, packed full and all of these people are listening intensely and hanging on your lips. How is that not an impressive feat?

  • I mean, we don't want it in the hand of some entity that hallucinates, is detached from reality and doesnt care for human life, so Meh, can't really be worse than now.

  • I mean that's the point where vigilante justice starts happening. And that is not a good sign for a civilisation.

    why is lemmy so anticatholic?

  • I think they just meant that it is true for all countries, since every culture in earth is affected that way. So the distinction "people here come from countries,..." is redundant.

  • Look, I will quote wikipedia for you:

    straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1] One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".

    Calling somebodies god a sky daddy or invisible sky friend is not a fundamentally different thing than calling it god. It is disrespectful, but not a strawman. Nobody is questioning your belief in your god, they are just mocking it.

    To give you an example of what actual strawman fallacy looks like, here is one from wikipedia again:

    Another example of a strawman argument is U.S. president Richard Nixon's 1952 "Checkers speech".[13][14] When campaigning for vice president in 1952, Nixon was accused of having appropriated $18,000 in campaign funds for his personal use. In a televised response, based on Franklin D. Roosevelt's Fala speech, he spoke about another gift, a dog he had been given by a supporter:[13][14]

    It was a little cocker spaniel dog, in a crate he had sent all the way from Texas, black and white, spotted, and our little girl Tricia, six years old, named it Checkers. And, you know, the kids, like all kids, loved the dog, and I just want to say this right now, that, regardless of what they say about it, we are going to keep it.

    This was a straw man response; his critics had never criticized the dog as a gift or suggested he return it. This argument was successful at distracting a number of people from the funds and portraying his critics as nitpicking and heartless. Nixon received an outpouring of public support and remained on the ticket. He and Eisenhower were later elected.

  • Sincerity detected...

    Apology accepted!

  • Hm, not sure your apology is sincere... A second pic would show your true sincerity.

  • Correct

  • Well, El Nino is a phenomenon in the pacific ocean. It being strong enough to have a direct effect on Europe would mean we are pretty much fucked.

    Europe is mostly affected by the gulf stream, which: surprise motherfucker, is also having very strong variances due to the climate collapse in the last years.
