  • See the knitting debacle… where SciShow put out an episode about the science of knitting which was poorly researched and it was clear that they had consulted zero knitters.

    I’ve always really liked SciShow - to the point I’ve assigned some episodes to my students - but it’s just embarrassing when it would have been trivially easy to hit up Ravelry and run the video past people who won’t call yarn “string.”

  • A lot of straight cis men seek out gay trans men, as if we are just tomboys. Getting called “she”/“her,” dealing with their insecurities about being attracted to a man, a general denial of who I am…

  • Any KF fans also watching the Onion show? I’m curious what people think about it versus some of Dan and Jordan’s concerns.

  • I think it’s that the antihistamines are in the “specific sedatives” category, not that it’s saying they are opioids.

  • Thanks. Sneaky bullshit.

  • Ohhhh, 90 minute is already a treat in itself. That sounds delicious.

  • The article is good, but the title is very funny and seems like it could be the set up for an onion style piece imho.

  • It was delicious. Apparently can’t get it here in the states.

    One of the weirdest things about that experience was that I witnessed some anti-polish racism? Like this British guy walked in and was just savage to all of the employees. Didn’t realize hating polish people was still a thing.

  • The only vodka I’ve ever had that tasted good - enjoyable and not just something I tolerated for the alcohol - was a shot of buffalograss(?) flavored vodka at a polish restaurant in London.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What’s the most expensive thing you’ve eaten/drank?

  • Yes! I was reading him during ElevatorGate, and I remember the reaction to that stupid Dawkin’s “Dear Muslima” comment. (What a s surprise Dawkins turned out to be a complete chucklefuck.)

    Not a hint of sexual pest behavior, still very actively fighting back against conservative Republican shit heels.

  • Pharyngula and Slacktivist are ancient and still running. I’ve been reading both since I graduated high school/had a Google Reader feed with 1k+ blogs. Both very different: Pharyngula is a ran by an atheist biology professor, while slacktivist is a Baptist laid off journalist who was/is working retail.

    The big thing with these blogs in the heyday of blogging - these comment sections were spectacular. Slacktivist drew me in because he did page-by-page analysis of the Left Behind series, and the commenters would write often high effort, good fan-fiction in response to whatever passage. On Pharyngula, you could see multiple actual scientists rip a stray creationist wandering in to shreds.

    There’s just something different about old school blog culture versus “link aggregators” - nothing like the feeling of a “free Friday thread.”

  • I’m just wondering why I’m on the regex list. I guess leftist and trans is probably enough.

  • I wonder what earns a place on the regex list versus the other. Did we only medium piss him off?

  • Ah yes, experimenting on poor Native kids with a robot that looks like a fucking sex doll.

    The long term goal is absolutely to remove educators from education. Robot is cheaper than a teacher and you control what it teaches.

  • There’s an entire genre of these weird “fruit Love Island” AI dramas that pop up on my TikTok. It’s terribly animated anthropomorphic fruit, and the plot is usually that the wife is cheating on the husband with the boss and gets pregnant.

  • We “learned” that in 6th grade science.

    I remember the same teacher had a test question which was something like “you and a friend are playing at a landfill, and your friend spills sulfuric acid all over themselves, what should you do?” and the ‘correct’ answer was “pour sodium hydroxide on the spill” instead of my answer of “pour water on the spill.”

    I had another science teacher who made a huge deal about her chronic Lyme, which is this really weird alternative medicine thing.

    You are given the notebook from Death Note and are time travelled to a time of your choosing, as long as it is more than 150 years ago. What do you do/who do you kill?
