I dunno... in 19th century Italy (when this painting was made (The Confession (Molteni))), a Catholic priest might have called this a "bodily perversion" in order to extract a fee for an Indulgence, especially if the priest believed it would be an habitual occurance.
if my art degree is worth anything, its for parsing the moral value of a meme (and booby Italian toast fetishes) in its historic context!
I can’t remember where I read this, but if carefully managed, humanity, in a highly controlled environment, could start off with as little as around 36 individuals. But population and reproduction would have to be highly controlled for dozens of generations before we could breed freely. this is all purely from a genetic standpoint.
And, of course, we would have to be in an environment where we wouldn’t worry about food or pathogens or predators, or anything else that might be a threat to our survival— including each other, or, possibly, ourselves.
The comment you were responding to is estimating a necessary population that takes into account a lot of other environmental factors.
These sorts of attacks rely on a person finding themselves in a pretty shady situation already. You would have had to responded to some shady Web link or some shady email, and already clicked on a few shady links to get to the point where you were screen sharing with some bad actor somewhere. This exploit would have to be run on someone who was already pretty far down the rabbit hole.
If you’re pretty careful, you would never get started in the first place.
In fact, sometimes you will see these reports, and it turns out that these exploits exist only in a lab where they tested it, and haven’t been discovered in the real world
In both my mobile app (Mlem) and on piefed, there is a crosspost function, so I don’t mind when people use that because it collapses all of the multiple posts into a single post. It gets annoying when I see the same post over and over and over in my feed
I’m not offended… I’m just trying to figure out that, because sexual orientation isn’t binary, what would the result of a collapsed wave function even be?
