For most people, except sub Saharan Africans, we are also talking about our ancestors when talking about neanderthals. Most of those bones we see on museums are probably the great x grandfathers of many people walking past.

Obviously we have no idea what happened over huge parts of deep human pasts, Neanderthals were a sparse population to begin with, and absorbing their people into the rest of humanity just by fucking is certainly a solution

Not so sure, except for a last few holdouts in Spain about 40k years ago, who were probably whipped out by natural catastrophe along with regular humans in that area.

I think we kept diluting their gene pool by having sex with them and out breeding them.

Maybe lemmy will grow over time to include more types of people.

Social unrest may evolve this network faster than expected, in particular ways that are not foreseen. So, in my mind there are two paths for lemmy. A stable growth or chaotic .

Edit : unrest in any country that has a lot of lemmy users if alternative social networks clamp down or are unsafe to use

For a supposedly gun infested and ultra violent country, there is an eerie calm lasting for decades.

Most probably this was a one time thing?

Spiders and programmers both need bugs to be able to eat

Thanks for talking about broken, it’s on my next read list.

I did enjoy ready player 1; never did ready player 2 out of fright it would not be very good

A lot of the initial popularity of Isis in Iraq was due to very similar factors. This was an uprising of a complex mix of people and goals. Most involved at first were established leaders who were patriotic and tribes who were oppressed by the new and invalid government.

This of course was airbrushed in the west and countless thousands were killed by Americans during the uprising.

Syria was destabilized due to the mass death.

The main takeaway here is that force often seems like an answer but that can go badly

I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.

All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.

And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.

Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.

Flies and moths sometimes got behind panels and caused issues. Hence computer bugs entered our lexicon.

It’s easier to imagine the insects entering with this picture,

I’ll try this later.

They can vary even by the same author: I felt burned by the “he who fights with monsters” series whose 1st book is simply awesome in my opinion, but by book 10 has devolved

I’ve been listening to the bobiverse, by Dennis Taylor. I like the series about an ordinary guy who just happens to later be copied a few thousand times. ( hard science fiction)

The latest book was released this year, and while it can hold its own, I like the earlier books better. And the first book is one of my favorites

I think this is like a parallel situation as seen in the Reddit ceo driving migration to lemmy.

The wp meltdown was destructive and healthy at the same time. A minority of wp users will look into alternatives, which will help make those better to use because the devs get more support, and/or the alternative communities and ecosystems start to grow

Apparently there was a run of stage productions in the uk about silverlocks ( changed from gold color) in the mid 1800s.

I do wonder about the color wars and why gold was the winner!

I would take that terror designation with a huge dose of salt.

I’m not going to write the history of terror groups designations, but what we got here is a very complex fluid situation
