similideano@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could create a new religion, what would you include to make it wholesome, interesting and helpful for the world?4·11 months agoI think you did a great job distilling it. I can see many parallels with other communities I know too.

similideano@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Person dies after falling into jet engine at Schiphol airportEnglish271·1 year agoRead somewhere else that the engine in that plane lies really close to the ground, and the guy (maintenance worker on his first day) got suckered in. Can’t say if any of this is true but that’s what I read.
With that kind of propulsion politically available, I doubt finding workable combinations of mitigation strategies to interstellar medium hazards would be the showstopper. Especially not one to hold us back for time scales that oceans did. Getting humans interested in prioritizing projects like that, to me, is the real headscratcher.
We could put people on Alpha Centauri in 88 years with 50s technology like Project Orion. The really hard part is figuring out a way to make us use the technology we do have for things like that, instead of for bombing each other back to the stone age.
It was a lot later (1300s), but Ibn Battuta seems to have done just that. Guy leaves Morocco and just keeps going on and on, till he ends up in China. Though perhaps even more incredibly he actually does come all the way back. The historicity of his accounts is disputed and maybe only a part of it is true, but even if he only got as far as India, I still find it fascinating to imagine doing at that time.

similideano@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What other instances have exciting communities?13·2 years agoSome of the best instances are those focused on a subject. I especially like programming.dev, mander.xyz (science) and slrpnk.net (solar punk movement or “practical utopianism”).
similideano@sopuli.xyzto Vexillology@lemmy.world•On this day, July 12 1975, São Tomé and Príncipe acquired its independence and adopted its current flag. There were other proposals though. Here are some of them.English2·2 years agoThat was a great video, thank you!
similideano@sopuli.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come I'm seeing "removed" all over the place?5·2 years agoThis filter was very controversial, especially because at first it was hardcoded into Lemmy itself, and the devs initially were insistent in keeping it that way. Fortunately they eventually allowed it to be configurable by instance, which is a much more sensible approach. Especially considering other languages and even some english variants. And while most people like you and me appreciate the intent, many are still unsure if this is a good approach to fight the problem. It does seem hard to avoid a lot of silly false positives. I remember someone mentioning being really confused by this “Sremovedew Valley” mentioned everywhere, until they realized it was just Stardew Valley being mangled by the filter.
For me it’s between this masterpiece and Untitled Goose Game.
