That’s why I keep my toothbrush wrapped in paper.

ricey crackers, they have chocolate and rice. everything one needs, besides some water…

It’s this meme all over again but this time it’s Israel vs. Russia.

Wherever it comes from, sex must be pretty old. Am I correct in the assumption that all Eucaryotes do have the ability to have sex? (ofc with minor exceptions)

unfortunately

I specifically miss my philosophical and spiritual communities from Reddit. I love learning about mythos and different religions, especially the more esoteric stuff, as well as political philosophy. That content just isn’t here in the same way (or sometimes, at all). It would be amazing to have that here.

If you speak german, that is what the community !philosophie@feddit.org is all about.

No, I think it makes sense.

Living organisms use ions internally (positive charges) because they produce something (like fruits).

Technology uses negative charges because it harvests those fruits, and takes them away (negative).

Yeah, I predict that in the future, you can’t expect that content on the internet is written by humans. If you go to the internet, then it will probably not be to connect to other humans. Maybe you want to know something that a bot can tell you or you have some administrative task to fulfill, like filing a form.

First of all, yes, attempts have been made, but:

• E-Mail is widespread, but not simple. It’s quite complicated
• Other messengers often try to simplify the protocol.

There’s things that I like about myself that I cannot put into words; it’s more a feeling.

The nazis, too, had a lot of power and yet they lost WW II.

it’s called the Paradox Of Tolerance.

yeah sorry i didn’t mean to sound rude. It’s just that I’ve heard too much “corporate bullshit talk” that i can’t just stay calm when i hear it.

make sure you hump that couch when you see it!

ftfy

they said “wild fires”

just like wild horses, wild fires existed long before they were domesticated.

yesterday someone posted a closeup of moss on a street to show how fascinating it is. i can’t find it anymore, but it was cool. maybe somebody still has that picture?

Edit:

… and get excited about all the things you’re going to accomplish.

Question: why do you always have to accomplish something?

The technological innovations of the last fifteen years, from advertising enshittifcation to AI cheating, have largely been a disaster. We are sadly at the point where, as Ted Gioia says, “most so-called innovations are now anti-progress by any honest definition.” I dare say that if we could revert all digital technology to where it was in 2009 – before the invention of the retweet – we’d all be better off.

I’d go back even further (to 2007) before the invention of the iPhone. The smartphone has, arguably, IMO been a bad, or at least premature invention. It created a generation of kids obsessed with their photographies, giving girls eating disorders and creating/spreading unrealistic beauty ideals, etc… Also it has severely disrupted teenagers’ social living, created sleeping disorders, chronic doomscrolling, addiction, and more bad stuff. The iPhone was, IMO, not ready for this world.

Depression has many causes:

• For once, people work too much. It exhausts the body and we feel tired.
• For two, there’s the meaninglessness of life. It’s difficult to stay motivated when nothing makes sense/there is no future.
• Thirdly, positive sexual experiences strongly cure depression. Since the dating market is largely fucked (no pun intended), well that option doesn’t exist to large parts of the population.
• Fourtly we’re socialized to hide depression. As everybody knows, the first step to solve a problem is to recognize it exists. Stigmatization of depression has held back effective treatment for way too long.
