I used to have trust in the peer review process, thinking this is why it takes months or years for a paper to get published. Are you telling me it’s not real?

Remember that it is always half of Earth that gets sunlight. This illustrates how much of the Pacific is missing in this projection.

It’s interesting that even on lemmy people aren’t so open-minded to give eating insects a chance.

I feel like I should’ve spotted that… they’re the same units. 🤦

Why km/h (or mph) and not ft/year? Because the numbers have a nicer magnitude then.

We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.

I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

no man ask for.

That’s pressure.

Imagine getting Diesel in Germany. “Sorry, that was actually 15 liters of regular gas. ¯_(ツ)_/¯”

Edit: Ok, it’s not as bad as I imagined, since this picture seems to be about E15/E10, not diesel/regular.

How fucking big are American canisters? In Germany the regular size is 5l, [Edit: just shy of a bit more than] one gallon.

So they want to increase the amount of bugs they ship?

I’m not sure… ants walk really far. Think of how long it takes us to get human children to the point where they can count to 1000. Do ants just hatch with a sense of numbers?

The guy who was too lazy to clean his dishes before he went on vacation isn’t the best example of a biologist. You know, Pasteur and Koch existed, too.

My respect for biologist vanished after I compared the posters the chemist had on their floor with the biologists’.

Chemist: We found a new material that can replace the <can’t remember anymore> and cut carbon emissions in half.

Biologists: Hey, we found a plant.

This was very clear. Now that I see it, I realize it’s the same reasoning why x^(-3) is 1/(x^3):

 2 × -3 = -6
 1 × -3 = -3
 0 × -3 =  0
-1 × -3 =  3

Thank you!

This only ever got handed down to us as gospel. Is there a compelling reason why we should accept that (-3) × (-3) = 9?

In some cases, the backdoor has been unable to work as intended. The build environment on Fedora 40, for example, contains incompatibilities that prevent the injection from correctly occurring.

It’s really funny that it’s package incompatibilites that saved us.

There’s a joke that I can’t find now about how hard it is to install a virus in Linux even if you try.

The Oscars are coming up. I wish that at least once, one single woman there would wear the same fucking outfit (OH MY GOOOD!!) as last year. No, we must make the dress, wear the dress, and burn the dress IN THE FIRY DEPTHS OF HELL NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN.

Side note: Why is it ok for men to wear the same suit for 20 years?

maximising profit is not why we grant them copyright

That’s the only reason copyright exists. Because society decided that if you’re the one to put work into developing something, you should be the one reaping the profits, at least for some time.

While we’re all wondering what happens at 7 or 9 short blasts, I’m asking how a blast could even be long.
