I like: how many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One. They are very efficient, but not very funny.

Looks like women are too busy with all that sex stuff to get out on their motorbikes.

I mean, if your partner's right and has demonstrated it, you could just update your perspective and be right too...

Wait, how is "not equal to" a Nazi symbol?

Could we have a fediverse dating app? What would it look like? How would we go about it?

I've got some surprise gas, just pull my finger...

I do high skill work that pays a lot. I could do a lot of it and have a lot of money, or do a little and live modestly and not work much. I chose option two.

Oh, also, no kids. Also, live somewhere where labor demand is high but supply low.

The reclusiveness selection argument makes sense, but why intelligence? Brains are crazy metabolically expensive, and I can't see why a smart reclusive spider would survive humans any better than a merely reclusive one.

Because violence won't solve the problem. We need global coordination. Violence just turns us into squabbling regional and ethnic factions.

Then why does people's preference for spicy food correlate to local food pathogen prevalence?

See: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9586227/

To elaborate a little further. "Just not eating" something is a modern luxury. For most of our history, you ate everything that was available or (someone, usually your youngest kids first) starved. The argument isn't that spices cover the taste of rotten food, but that they actually kill the pathogens that make humans sick, making more food edible for longer. This is a spill over from these plants' long evolutionary arms race with phytotoxins. Cultures in places with high food pathogen prevalence, where spicing makes a real difference to survival, develop a preference for spicy food, despite their initially aversive taste. Cultures in cold climates with few food pathogens don't.

I regularly move between countries with different road side norms. Handedness is not an issue. Makes no difference.

Only problem is if you set off with no other cars on the road, to use as a cue, and so accidentally go on the wrong side until you see someone coming towards you.

Thanks, just watched the pilot and it looks really good. Which character did people think was trans and why?

What's the first rule of conspiracies? What are the other ones?

I mean, the main sustainable feature of indigenous food systems is their small population size relative to the environment's carrying capacity. Trying to feed a large city on hunted game would be far less sustainable than modern agriculture...

LOL

Joke's good enough it deserves a comment in addition to the upvote.

I strictly get my news on the toilet

Right, and how are you ensuring, in this age of intensifying populism, captured information networks and unbridled individualistic greed, that once you release the genie, violence will only be used for that purpose?

I'd have guessed Zooble because of the whole changeable body parts thing...

Each physical store can have different prices on the same goods, to exploit the average differences between the populations in each area. Already happens between countries/continents, now it can happen on a neighborhood scale.

I need the home-work separation, or both suffer. I constantly get distracted from work with home stuff, and can't be fully present with family at home because I'm thinking about work.
