I don’t know enough about the stuff to form a strong argument but I feel if they live on our plane of existence, they experience time. And if they’re intelligent enough to communicate with us, they could perceive the passing of it. Counting events of some kind would just come naturally

Feel like that described the majority of shirts posted to communities like this lol
I feel like any civilization advanced enough is going to have no problem with that.
A body of water is connected but you can count the waves. They’d surely count repetition, too, such as their planet rotating and and orbiting it’s starting. Or sound - “click” one “click click” two.
And if they’re as intelligent as humans, both species are able to learn new abstract concepts

Interestingly, the study attributes the problems to the drivers not the cars.
Because aside from random catastrophic failure, the vehicle doesn’t make you cash. The driver or Tesla’s “self-driving” does
2·2 days agoBefore this comment, I thought my anecdote of “I had this a few years ago and decided to just let whatever it was kill me” was too bleak to post
1·2 days agoThere’s plenty of other ways to teach that…I’ll bet kids who worked during the industrial revolution had pretty good coordination, too, but we’re not teaching that in schools
2·3 days agoI mostly watch British shows. But you’re kind of right about the last part, the last non-english show I watched was the second season of Kongen Befaler and I feel like that doesn’t count.
So, does the US not make some of the best TV shows? Or are you only aware of the sitcoms and reality shows?
1·3 days agoI’m jumping on the dog pile to tell you to watch Andor. I am NOT a Star Wars guy but I got talked into this one by a friend who knows my general distaste for the franchise.
It’s fantastic, I really have nothing bad to say about it. It’s not campy like Star Wars, it doesn’t feel rushed, and the stakes a lot more visceral.
It’s also extremely relevant in 2026
Nemik’s manifesto would be my pick, too, mainly because it resonated with me when I was feeling helpless about the world
Tap for spoiler
There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.
Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.
Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.
Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.
Remember this: Try.

1 in 5 boys either knows someone their age who delusionally thinks they’re in a relationship with a chatbot, knows someone who claims they’re dating a chatbot as a joke, or is just fucking around
There’s a non-insignificant chance the boys they surveyed weren’t taking it seriously. “Oh yeah, I totally know someone dating a chatbot”
Those pearls you’re clutching must feel so good right now
You’re already fucked, but your opiates of shitty TV, pissy beer, fast food and the satisfaction that you seem to enjoy when you see people who are really suffering seem to placate you
My god, update your stereotypes. There are SOOO many things to shit in the US for but these make you look uncultured.
The US makes some of the best TV in the world. And unless you’ve got state run media, your country is full of the same trash TV.
I see you’re ignorant to the local breweries all across the country. Do you shit on dutch beer because of Heineken, too?
The fast food thing has some merit because yeah, it’s trash. But American cuisine is as varied as all of Europe. Calling out fast food feels like a nitpick. You’ve got lazy fast food slobs in your country, too.
All of which really makes the last part seem undeservedly arrogant
Cursed as in occult origins, not cursed as in bad luck
54·4 days agoWhat the fuck kind of reply is this? This guy is saying he refused to deploy and you’re acting like he supports Trump…? What??
I have yet to see anything like that…Are these Americans threatening to leave the fediverse in the room with us now?
He, she, his, her…my dad will use each one to refer to the same dog at different times. He’s done this with every dog any of us have ever had. We’ve given up correcting him.
So maybe pronouns literally ARE too much for some people lol
21·5 days agoWhy?? This is my answer as well. There’s just not enough time in the day to do all the things I want to do. There are so many things I haven’t even bothered trying because I know I don’t have the time to learn it well enough for it to be worthwhile.
I know my car repairs are DIYable but I don’t have the prerequisite knowledge so it will take me too long to be cost effective. If I didn’t have to sleep, I’ve got an extra 8 hours a day to learn.
Why would I want an ambassador? I want Israel on the designated terrorists list
Source?
Is this a bit account? Should the name have clued me in?
