Although they are both stories based on historical events that have been embellished, the Trojan war and the Hebrews leaving Egypt very well could have been happening at the same time (around 1180 BCE)

Yeah so you definitely don’t need a 3D printer to make a firearm.

C’mon, you agreed to stab him.

Man, he’s already been stabbed 22 times, he’s definitely dead now, there’s no point.

But you agreed!

Fine stabs there, see, I did it. He’s not really any deader than he was before though.

Alright, who’s next?

Rest of the senators: NOPE

7th grade science test question: What would evolve faster, a virus that can create millions of new copies every day, or a chicken.

Apparently RFK jr thinks the chickens will evolve immunity faster than the virus can evolve to jump to humans.

Pretty good, I’ve been off of social media for a while but Lemmy looked intriguing enough to give it a try. I’m hoping it will be engaging without being addictive. So far I like it.

Hopefully they can get it stabilized to try and complete the mission. The space telescope they are going for will re-enter the atmosphere either way so it’s worth a shot. This is a cool mission, especially since this will probably be the last air-launched orbital space mission we will see for a long time, maybe ever.

Little Brother is pretty good!

Parable of the sower does have some pretty graphic violence in it though from what I remember, if 1984 is considered not age appropriate I think that one would not be either.

-Federal government still technically exists but has barely any ability to do anything -Everything privatized including police and emergency services -Wealthy live in gated communities while most of the population lives in corporate owned slums -Leader of a megachurch is trying to take over the world

Yeah, this one really seems like we are heading in that direction.

The US did this with goatheads (plant with horribly spiky seeds) they introduced a weevil from India that eats them.

Also check out the reading by Leonard Nimoy that was just posted today. It’s a good listen.

Is Xiang Yu mentioned in this episode the same person as the villain from Mulan?

This is why it is important to vote in local elections including your town’s school board. Seriously, someone actually thought this was a good idea, hopefully this comes around to bite them in the next election.

Yeah, but it could take several generations of chickens until “resistant” evolves into being immune enough to not lose half the flock every time. And in the mean time since human farmers will have to be tending to the chickens in some way, there always a risk of the virus jumping to humans.

Shatters and hits anyone trying to shoot it with shrapnel, sounds like a win to me.
