No safe level of sunlight by the same logic.

Lois Lane would be resurrected and unburied by rocks if there had been an earthquake caused by a nuclear strike shortly before this happened.

But then there would be my tomatoes and the ones at each of my local grocery stores. Am I supposed to go get some from everywhere to enjoy tomatoes?

That's the fear of soy paste.

Something bent space-time and made tomorrow July 29th.

Did only a few of us miss this? Seems like it could have been explained better up front.

We'd need an objective way to measure lameness and then review a large set of posts (on a particular sub?) from a couple of months ago vs now. Criteria have to be pre-determined to avoid the post hoc fallacy.

Average words or characters per comment? Number of insults directed at other commenters (measured by someone blinded to which group they came from)? Number of "controversial" comments judged by large numbers of up and downvoted?

I dunno. I'm not doing it. Not a social scientist. Just suggesting an interesting experiment.

Yes, some people obviously give a shit or it wouldn't have been posted here.

Two reasons. One, you may be using a wide angle lens, which makes things look farther away, but as a tradeoff gives you a wider field of view.

Two, you may be viewing the image on the tiny camera screen instead of on a large TV. The image has been shrunk to fit the screen.

Try using a zoom lens or zooming into the digital image on a larger screen.

As others have said, it depends where you live. For US states that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, it protects heterosexual and cis people the same as gay or trans.

I know a heterosexual Chinese couple who had the same family and given names even before they were married. They met because they kept getting each other's mail.

I don't consider myself hypersensitive, but that was a really asshat remark to make to a large group of people.

It was good. I enjoyed it. Not everything needs to trigger some morally righteous response in our world.

One reason could be that most of the audience doesn't want to watch them if it feels like what they're doing is artificial or inauthentic.

Might be a terrible analogy, but since people cheat on video games, why don't they have an esports league where aimbots, wallhacks, speedhacks, etc are all allowed? It might be a novelty for 2 minutes, but most people wouldn't want to watch that. It isn't how the games were meant to be played. It's not that it's cheating anymore if the rules allow it. It's that it isn't a good showcase for talent because it becomes about who bought the best cheats.

Binny is helping Lemmy get to the nest to meet the baby birds! Very wholesome.

Plants don't appear to be of a different origin than animals on this planet. They share most of the genetic code* with all other life we know about. The simplest explanation is that we share a common origin, and furthermore that was a common ancestor that likely began from simpler materials on this planet.

*The genetic code is the translation of nucleotide triplets into amino acid sequences

And if the taxes refuse, then what?

They'll just go to A001, thus pushing back the problem for 26,000 more years.

I mean, if we can't get Obama, I guess.

I didn't see much in the way of pro-nicotine comments. People just answered the question about what they got out of it. Most also said it was a terrible habit.

Your experience with it being easy to quit doesn't seem to be typical, but it was great that it worked out that way.
