Are we enslaving the cells in our body

Whoever wrote that must have slept thru every biology class they’ve ever taken…

Like, there’s some decent questions in there, but they’ve all been asked for over a thousand years.

It reads like someone used a chat bot and told it to try and sound like a philosopher.

Right/left only exists to stop us from realizing it should be top/bottom

It was William Caxton about 600 years ago who owned it.

Everything I found just now talks about how great a historical figure he was, and implies he somehow was personally doing the work.

But if you dig deeper you should be able to find reference to the Dutch workers he brought with the press who knew how to use it and actually set the type on the presses. They were the ones actually making those books that standardized English grammar and spelling.

I don’t have the time at the moment, but if you’re interested then that’s enough to start researching

Is this an English grammar rule

English grammar and spelling rules were made up on the fly by Dutch workers with a tenable grasp on the language themselves.

They just operated the first English printing presses and the owner valued quantity over quality. So they just did fucking whatever.

Nice, figured it was a joke, but it’s a pretty good one.

The reviews are gold:

I couldn’t find a buyer for my Tesla and was concerned about the depreciating resale value and the overt racism. Thank you, Steal My Tesla!

That website literally doesn’t exist tho…

I had a specialist doc a while ago who started out criticizing trump. But within five minutes was legitimately arguing that Charlie Manson would have been our greatest president and that it wasn’t too crazy for someone to only want to live with people “just like us” (both white) and that “them” really were a problem.

Like, I’m used to conversations taking a hard right turn, frankly I look like what white supremacists wish they look like, so I get it often.

But I just did not see that coming after she started out shit talking trump

He’s even losing the (relatively) wealthy and (absolutely) crazy racists now. That’s his bread and butter…

It formed because of a group of people manipulated into a protest for “our rights”.

Neither the people participating or the ones driving the propaganda ever gave two shits about anyone else’s rights.

They’d support a law requiring everyone be a fan of their favorite sports all team, because it doesn’t negatively effect them and since it aligns with their established beliefs it’s the “right” decision for everyone else anyways.

This is how “for the greater good” can do great evil and why writing off people who commit monsterous acts as monsters is fucking stupid.

We need to understand why they do this shit so we can explain to them why they shouldn’t.

What fucked us over is the only other option we’re neoliberals. They can’t talk about fixing real problems because they’re paid to ignore those very problems. So instead they try to make Dem voters think of it like sportsball too.

The problem is at best Dem voters aren’t maniac fans like Republicans. We’re the home team fans who hate our own team and wish anyone else was calling the shots. It’s like we were cursed to be born in Cleveland and LeBron James already moved away

I’m fairly certain “muck up” was the original and people just started using “fuck up” because it rhymes…

The new Beavis and Butthead had a segment where they borrowed eggs and tp from a rich family to throw at their house.

Genuine question:

Why do you keep making accounts?

I’ve blocked you like 4 times now…

If someone chooses to use their social media as a haven from the real-world issues they encounter everywhere else, then

I would advise them to curate a specific feed for that explicit purpose rather than browse /all and complain other people are paying attention to real shit

You can.

You can subscribe to every stupid brain rot meme sub you want, and when you’re ready to turn your brain off just switch to only viewing subscribed communities.

No one is saying not to do that, burnout is real and what fascists hope for.

So by all means, take your breaks. Check out and don’t think about it for a day or two. But come back and care about the important shit again.

But when viewing /all and seeing the top post be actual discussions on serious topics it’s a good thing.

It means right now more people are choosing that over the brain rot. Hopefully it becomes the norm, but we still need to rotate off for a break, it’s not gonna be a short fight against fascism. No one is going to make it to the end without some breaks.

Can you do me a favor and reply with your alts?

I’ve blocked at least 3 so far but it’s like playing fucking whack a mole

What happened?

People pay attention to memes more than news…

I blocked all the stupid meme communities as soon as I started using Lemmy, glad to see actual discussion is replacing brain rot tho.

It’s a good thing.

Lots of places play loosely with the terminology, but in general:

Refurbished: they wipes the dust off

Recertified: had an issue, was sent back to manufacturer who fixed it and checked everything else.

Past advice was always buy new, but drives last much longer than they used to. And lots of business replace to be safe when a drive could last another decade just fine.

The music is because those trucks drive around.

You can’t make tacos on the move, or any other kind of hot food really.

Which is why food trucks park in locations and operate

It’s a weird troll, just block them

Yeah…

But that’s not a shower thought, it’s something we’ve known for a very long time.

It’s like saying the sky is blue due to wavelength scattering, it’s true, but regardless of where you are when you realized/learned it, it’s not a shower thought.

The addition of electricity is the only reason anyone calls it scifi
