Are you advocating going back to reddit?

truly you are doing the Lord’s work

Was one of the lessons that we should vaccinate everybody who can be vaccinated?

Actual lizards would do a better job than a number of governments I can think of.

Yeah, it’s well understood that homo didn’t just magically start existing and that caused all of its ancestors to suddenly disappear, but the headline makes it seem like that part was in doubt. (FWIW, I originally read the “staggering” part to be the find itself – like, what are the odds that you find a cache of various ancient hominid teeth together?)

Yeah, agreed. I originally read the “staggering” part to be the find itself, not the confirmation of the already well-regarded theory of contemporary existence, but I definitely see what you mean here.

Some things ought not be meddled with.

There’s plenty of evidence of homosexuality across broad swaths of the animal kingdom, but gender is a human social construct (until the apes and whales tell us otherwise) so I don’t know how this would even translate to any other animals.

Comforting words in “interesting” times. Thanks as always.

I hope to have to use this information someday.

Citric acid works great for this. A $10 bag will last the rest of your machine’s life, and there’s no weird aftertaste like can sometimes happen with vinegar.

they should just respond with 2 photos, one of LA in the 1970s and one from today. There’s a reason it doesn’t look like this anymore.

Y’all from the Midwest?

While it is commonly believed that there is only one correct way impale a human, the author here contemplates several alternatives.

You might be interested in Integrated information theory, which proposes that everything - from an electron up to a galaxy or bigger - can be said to have some unit of consciousness (for certain definitions of consciousness). It’s something between a mathematical framework and a philosophical one, but does put forth some hypotheses that touch on cosmology and thermodynamics and isn’t just nut job pseudoscience.

It’s not cowardice, it’s intentional. He wants a timeline where techno-lords with divine authority oversee their vassal states and nations are a thing of the past. Bending over for a fascist party is the fastest way to get there.

You can put videos in a text thread. I’m on a 31-person thread that has been active for about 15 years. I promise there’s no shortage of videos.

Try to get them to text them instead. Giant family text chains are a lot more fun (and chaotic) than generic social media.
