  • Bye

  • Mentos is just a discarded petroleum product.

  • I too crave violence, yet consider it to be the worse choice at the same time. If peaceful reasoning cannot win against violence, then we've already lost as a civilization pursuing a higher state. Because in doing as such, no matter how far we travel, that higher state can only ultimately be violence.

  • And on the other side of the ocean there's Romania annulling election results due to foreign interference through social media.

    Huh.

  • Tomato, potato. Same nightshade family...

  • Intentional choice of words considering the popular CEO shooting? Is this like a cordial invitation or something? ...

  • Yes, Barbossa is my choice of captain in this situation as well.

  • That's a myth sort of. Cats use a mix of meows, scents and postures to communicate. The quantity of which type is used depends on the situation and circumstances.

    Not every cat is talkative yes, but I think that if they could talk, they'll either beg for food or insult you as these two are the only important situations in which they would deign it worth the hassle.

  • An opposite thing happened to me.

    Wanted to trade something online. The other party listed trade as currency for object or other object + currency for object.

    I had the other object and thought they would pay me the currency and their object for mine. It took a while for me to understand what they were waiting for.

    They seemed to be a native English speaker. It's a second language for me, so some meanings get lost in translation.

  • Taking walks. It made me more aware of how isolation changed my perception of the world.

    Things are uglier now that I'm no longer used to it. The garbage, the decay, the lack of maintenance everywhere, things feel unclean. I feel unclean.

    So I try to be cleaner and look after my own garbage. But man do I hate random people sneezing around me!

  • If you dream of a past high point and wish to return to it, it's better to use it as inspiration and look to create new high points that belong to your current self.

  • Exactly, we can't tell (yet). So the feeling of wanting to be like a tree is a superficial one for now. Because we don't really understand what it means to be a tree, we just like what we see to be a tree.

    We look at their difficulties and think "I can handle that", but it's no different than an amateur watching a master at work and think "I can do that" even though it's the environment and experience that allowed them to grow into what we see.

    Alien trees are included.

  • Trees have it rough. Can barely move, have to compete for sunlight and soil nutrients, can't scratch an itch, anything that can eat them will eat them without a care, can feel pain but lack a mouth to scream with.

    Wanting to be alive as a tree shows how little one knows of them and is a typical case of greener grass on the other side.

    Being willing to see only the good in others and envying them, yet unwilling to see the good in and resenting oneself. That's why one needs a therapist.

    This is good. It's progress. Keep sharing these emotions and see them as they are. Eventually, acceptance will follow.

  • You can sorta see the alpha thingamajig in hyenas. The chick with the biggest clit gets a possy of white knights trying to please her.

    But it's not obligatory. Dudes just chilling together and biting asses can still happen without a chick to lead them on.

  • Don't remember the specific age, but it was something in the vein:

    "We gotta talk. You know about the sex stuff?"

    "Yeah, no problem. Got the internet. Already a master or better."

    "Eyyyyy!"

    "Eyyyyy!"

    And that was it. But seriously, the internet taught me more than biology class, without all the hoops and whistles.

  • According to research, it takes around 2000 work hours for the average academia researcher to start making shit up in order to publish a paper.

    Source: an average academia researcher.

  • Slams, tears, rips, disembowels, eviscerates...

    Anyone feels like this is some sort of silent protest of journalists being turned into an LLM babble mill?

  • Good question. For serious answers, try asking here https://lemmy.world/c/askscience or other similar communities.

    On my part, I can vaguely extract some theories from memory.

    One suggests some kind of insufficiency or excess during the growth phase can result in abnormal size of one or more organs, whether larger or smaller and usually accompanied by circulatory problems.

    Another suggests it a remnant of evolution, whether specific to a type of environment or early societal development.

    Of course, there's also the chemical imbalance issue caused by unchecked industrial exploitation and pollution that causes the entire biological chain to mutate uncontrollably.

    But at their base, it's usually hormones that are directed in some way by something either to grow or to stunt.

  • Sometimes. Once out of the hatch, environmental factors change each individual potentially in a different way. So while the template might be the same at start, further mutations can branch out in other aspects.
