  • Am I the only one who thinks social media has destroyed the spirit of the internet?

    Jump

  • Some of my best memories online are in golden era Tumblr, which was a pretty big social media. So I don't think social media, per se, is the issue.

  • Can you please help me clear some doubts regarding LGBTQIA stuff?

  • Maybe I'm out of the loop, but what are neopronoums?

    I do know the classic she, he. And the new gender neutral "they". Are there more that are starting to be used recently that I don't know about?

  • There are still smaller communities out there. It can be discussed that Lemmy is a small community itself.

  • With summer soon beginning in the northern hemisphere, what are some pro tips for staying cool?

    Jump

  • Put up a simple fan and sparkle water on your naked skin. That will bring your temperature down pretty quick for cheap.

    Cons is that it's a little trying to be constantly spraying water on yourself and that it can be a little messy. It's also more convenient to do in a private space like your house. But it's way cheaper than air conditioning and you will be as cool. The principle of evaporative cooling is amazing.

  • Isn't Lemmy a treasure-trove for AI scrapers?

    Jump

  • It's not like there's a lack of content to train any AI. So who cares.

    If it makes you feel better it's unlike that most of your post or mine are suitable for AI training.

    Also giving that search on lemmy is kind of bad any scrapper would have a harder time trying to get useful information out of all our collective garbage.

    Any company willing to sink millions into train an AI would probably be better off paying some big social platform and getting good structured data.

  • What browser are you using?

  • I just curl and wget everything.

  • Do you find protest fun?

    Jump

  • I don't like multitudes so no. They tend to be stressful. And for the ones I went alone without knowing anyone I felt a lot of social anxiety.

    But sometimes you gotta go even if it's not pleasant.

  • What do you even do at a gym?

    Jump

  • Yo could do that at home. I do.

    For many people a gym is a matter of discipline. To force them go and do it.

    But for me it works the opposite way, the extra time going to another place dissuades me from going at all. So workout at home works better for me.

  • I wonder how does that work with federation.

    If a second instance does not have that restriction, is there any "legal" effect on the federated content?

  • Are other countries as nationalistic/"patriotic" as the US?

    Jump

  • In Spain yes. We call them "patriotas de la pulserita" because they always have wristbands with the spanish flag.

    We don't have flags on poles, put people put the spanish flags on the balconies.

  • Hard to find a source for fertilizer usage per type of crop so of you want to dismiss that for lack of source I'm ok with that. Still think that a crop with higher sugar content and a more precise composition would need more input. But if you can provide a source otherwise would also be welcome to clear doubts.

    When I'm talking about economy I'm not talking wall street. I'm talking about the definition of economy. Which is the distribution of resources.

    I don't agree in your final statement. For many reasons: It's not a good thing being global, it is not desirable that your food comes from the other side of the world just because you decided not to eat a local chicken. That's quite complex and a different conversation overall but I think local food consumption is better overall. And without putting restrictions as in "do not eat meat" it's easier to achieve local consumption.

    While winter storage is important, plant based food can also be stored, and we see animal consumption in human cultures from places without cold winters so the statements can be labeled as not true, or at least not sufficient.

    Most people eat meat because it's the easiest way to have the necessary caloric and nutrient input. Not for pleasure. If we would only eat for pleasure we would only probably eat sugar which is plant based. Vegan diet is just too much of a headache within a population that already have issues maintaining balance with an omnivore diet. Many pleasure foods are plant based, like pizza, so that must no be the only reason people eat meat.

  • There's a economical difference. Growing plants for animals is cheaper. Plants for animals are easier to take care. We dump a lot of fertilizer on animal crops. But we dump even more in human crops.

    They amount of care and soil usage is always going to be higher on crops destined to human consumption.

    This could grow if we tried to grow only human based food? Yes, but with much higher economical effort andes yield per sqrmeter. When nutrients grow thin in soil is not only that things straight up do not grow, is that less things grow and they grow smaller.

    It's not tradicional. It's observation of history. Humans have not grown as omnivore because of tradition. We have not domesticated animals because of tradition. We have done it because it's the most efficient way to do things.

    You for instance are vegan because of tradition. Not because economics or efficiency dictate it, but because a series of moral considerations that were passed onto you thus modifying your behavior. But most humans population if faced with the nutritional challenge will both grow plants and farm animals because it is the most efficient way to do things.

    Traditional exceptions would be the opposite. Like the cultures that forbid certain foods because religious reasons.

  • Do you know what "alfalfa" is?

    I don't know if that's the correct english translation.

    Widely used as a source of animal food. Good luck trying to eat that.

    Search which cultives tend to be part of healthy crop rotations and most of the times you'll find a crop that's used for animals and cannot be eaten by humans.

    Also not are grains and soy are created equal or are as suitable for human consumption in a healthy diet as other plants. Or almost most planta that are used for animal consumption. There's two fact here, first that many times there's a mixed use (part of the plant goes to the animal and part of the plant goes to the human) and other times even when everything is for the animal, there tend to be different varieties. The corn dedicated to human consumption is not the same corn dedicated to animal consumption. It grows different and can take different amount of nutrients for the soil, or take different economic requirements. Human food tend to be much more expensive overall, because our stomach cannot digest plants as easily as herbivores.

    Do you think human beings have been farming animals and those "extra crops" just for funsies. It's the most efficient way to feed human population. That's why it have been done for millenia.

  • Most of the food we grow for animals is not edible by humans.

    Also the soil we use for growing that food is not suitable for growing human food, permanently or temporary.

    One of the basics of agriculture is crop rotation. And this crop rotation usually need for foods that are good for animals but not so good for humans.

    That while talking about food that is grown specifically for animals. A good part of animal food is just residues from human food. For instance, in my grandmother's house I remember the chickens were basically a walking bio-disposal bin, at not point food was grown specifically for those chicken.

    In the matter of wasted food, resources. A lot of it have to do with transportation from very far away places.

  • Back in my school days we just copy assignments from a web that hosted usual school assignments from different places. "ElRinconDelVago" was called.

    Teachers even had "ElRicon" detection mechanisms as they have now with LLMs.

    Mostly because as years pass I notice how most people is just bad people. Losing faith in humanity makes me angry at humanity.
