  • memes from my biology class #6

  • I live in the southern US and I see them daily. They seem to be more common than squirrels. They run away from you though so they don't bother anyone. At my old apartment, there was a period of time somehow lizards kept getting inside my place. I kept trying to free them but I would accidentally kill them when trying to handle them. Another one I just tried to let live in my apartment, but he quickly died...presumably from not being able to find enough food and water. They are super fragile.

  • What are some of the stupidest, non-political takes you've seen on the fediverse?

  • You can't say you like literally any product on the internet otherwise people call you a corporate shill. It's frustrating because people sometimes like things...that's just the nature of life in general. Sometimes you like something that was made by a company and not just already existing in nature...

    Reminds me though...I recently got called a "Russian bot" by someone on Lemmy recently. I was super confused because the content of the conversation had nothing to do with Russia or the war or Russian viewpoints or anything. It was so out of left field that I had no idea what they were talking about.

  • Omg hope she ended up healing up ok after a while. I know I've heard after a break that people don't necessarily always fully heal which sucks.

  • That's where I've always been confused. Every living being wants to propogate their species through innate biological urges and behaviors, whether they realize it or not. Obviously humans recognize these behaviors and are able to choose whether or not to actually have children or to simply act on these urges without procreating (condoms, birth control, etc.). But the innate biological inclinations are still there.

    It's odd for me because I've never had these urges or inclinations for sex. Sometimes it makes me feel like I'm not human or something. Because every living being seems to experience this. Even when I discovered the concept of asexuality, I found that a very significant number of these individuals either oddly still had a sex drive or they were sexually traumatized in some way which blocked it. I have never had a sex drive and was never sexually traumatized. I was not a "late bloomer", as I'm in my 30s with the same lack of normal human feelings.

  • Made by, or made of?

  • I find it incredibly interesting that people knew the always wanted things like that...a spouse, a grand wedding, children of their own. I don't think I've ever really thought that way about those things.

  • I mean yeah, can be pricey, especially if you want all the features. But you can go bottom of the barrel bare bones basic shit and have it be not too much of an ordeal.

    I bought my washer and dryer new and it totalled less than I paid for my cell phone lmao. They function just fine. I actually specifically didn't want extra fancy features because it meant more ways to potentially break.

  • I feel that

  • It's 100% my fault I just know it

    Jump

  • I feel you on that unfortunately. I think therapy works for people who are good at gaslighting themselves, but beyond that everyone is SOL. I also think it can be useful for very specific problems (like I had a friend who went because she had panic attacks) that are easy to identify. If you have more vague, nonspecific issues, then therapists are lost as to what to do and therapy itself becomes useless.

    I'm gonna try again soon tho we'll see.

  • It was a dark time for all.

  • It's usually not a psychology issue. It's a money issue. The vast majority of people on the planet cannot afford to retire early.

  • People still call places for takeout in 2025 instead of using the internet to order????

  • So why do you feel that it's ok for your dad to have multiple wives, but not for his wives to have multiple husbands? Curious.

  • Who was your high school classmate that you Googled and were shocked by the results?

    Jump

  • Lol! She was a real "mean girl" growing up. I'm hesitant to outright call her a bully because she wasn't ever direct like that, but she played a part in making multiple people's lives kind of miserable tbh.

  • Who was your high school classmate that you Googled and were shocked by the results?

    Jump

  • Really not that shocking at all compared to many... occasionally finding out someone is dead and etc.

    But one of the ones that got me was finding out that the girl who I grew up... initially was sort of friends with and eventually painfully shunned me and treated me like an alien eventually became a therapist lmao

  • Which animals, besides cats or dogs, would you give a ride to or intentionally let in your home with barely a second thought?

  • I like how casual her "ow" sounded when being mauled by a cheetah

  • How was your Easter weekend? Any highlights or traditions you enjoyed this year?

    Jump

  • I worked extra hours because work had been insanely busy. My supervisor decided to give me a lecture about some incredibly minor thing I did wrong so that was fun when I already was overworked. She loves picking at everyone like that. Then the following day I ran 11 miles which is the farthest I ever ran. But otherwise I was just at home alone.

  • Does journaling really help to maintain a profound psychological state?

  • Do you mind expanding on this? What habits are you tracking?

  • What is something you learned in your line of work that other people wouldn't know

  • First, I do NOT work in IT or anything like that. But I seem to be the most tech savvy of all my coworkers. Occasionally one of them will ask for help and I'll fix something for them. Sometimes one of them will comment that I am good with computers or something. Honestly, I figure things out just by clicking on everything. I think sometimes people are too afraid to click too many things for fear of breaking stuff, but there's not a whole lot that can go catastrophically wrong imo. I tend to just click shit until I figure out what to do.
