  • TIL that Turkey asks gay people to provide explicit photos of them to be exempt from military service

  • ... does this qualify as clownfuckery?

  • Trump apparently thinks soda kills cancer cells because ‘it kills grass’

    Jump

  • Oz was making news in the sense of 'announcing' that Trump thinks Coke kills cancer.

    So thats about the same level as uh... 'I take BRAINFORCE because it makes me smart' or 'I use colloidal silver because it keeps you healthy'.

    Its not directly stating that Trump has any medical condition, its basically just saying he's an overconfident dumbass who believes in medical quackery.

  • Trump Jr actually laughed and said 'Well if you think about, there might be something to it...', something like that.

    I've seen the video clip.

    Then Dr. Oz is very obviously internally seething, but wearing a happy mask on top of it.

  • Men with higher IQs are less conservative, study finds

    Jump

  • I mean, I find it interesting that this pattern does not exist among women.

    Too bad the article doesn't actually link the study.

  • Tennessee’s Charlie Kirk Act bans student walkouts, protects conservative speakers

    Jump

  • Conservatism is a form of neurodivergence, change my mind.

  • So now what you do is just say you're a conservative and basically do a self deprecating comedy act.

  • ... Is Margot supposed to be a spiteful bitch?

    She's also just wrong. As a man, I can tell you that men are entirely capable of oogling your ass or even legs as you go up a flight of stairs, in shorts.

    Or your feet, as Margot specifically mentions.

    Also... who... is running up and down stairs near your house... barefoot?

    This is how you end up needing a tetanus shot, or worse.

    In conclusion, Margot is a stupid, mean person.

    The actual figure drawings are pretty good though!

    I'm not myself a fan of the 'Disney Princess circa 201X+' style, but it is well executed.

  • What are your hot takes on food culture?

    Jump

  • Uh, pro tip for the budget constrained:

    Buy some packs of instant ramen.

    Get a rice cooker.

    Get a rotisierre whole chicken.

    Get some mixed leafy greens, or bean sprouts.

    (Optional) Get some kind of ramen seasoning.

    (Optional) Get some kind of seasoned oil meant for noodles.

    Water into pot.

    Carve off or even just tear off some of the chicken, put in pot.

    (Optional) Add seasoning / seasoned oil.

    Turn pot on, bring to full boil.

    At full boil, add in instant ramen for about 5 minutes.

    After 5 minutes, turn pot off, stir a bit, add in veggies, stir some more, re-cover pot for another 5 minutes.

    You now have hot pot.

    ...

    Oh, this was supposed to be hot 'takes' not hot pot.

    Oh well, you have hot pot.

  • Yes, this is all happening as planned, by the tech oligarchs, who ... essentially have successfully turned the country into an outright corporatocracy.

    The government still technically exists, but it is nearly totally directed by capitalists, who themselves are essentially just playing out ego fantasy power trip battles as to who can be the best John Galt.

    This is the ideal 'libertarian' society, realized; techno-feudalism.

    Christians of Lemmy, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an Al photo of him as Christ?

  • The New Testament literally makes no sense without the Old Testament.

    It directly cites and makes allusions to the Old Testament all the time... and a fair number of times it actually cites or references a mistranslation of the Old Testament.

    https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Matthew%205%3A18

    Jesus himself says:

    For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished!

    Where 'the Law' is 'the Torah', ie, the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament.

    Jesus does not at any point distinctly state that only the Ten Commandments are valid, the rest are to be disregardrd... that just doesn't exist in the Gospels.

    Also, Jesus got killed because he essentially started a riot in the outer area of the Temple, flipping over tables of money changers, fashioning a whip and attacking them.

    Today we'd call that 'terroristic threats' or something like that.

    So any time a church outright asks you for money, within its grounds, remember that the answer to WWJD? is to physically assault and mock such people for defiling the sanctity of an ostensibly holy place.
