- Comment on Today I realized bees don't get the weekend off 😔 1 year ago:
Our reward circuits go off when someone mentions taking a rest.
Bee reward circuits go off for things that we would consider work.
Basically, the whole time they are face-first in a flower slurping up nectar and gathering pollen, the thing going through their tiny brains is “Fuck yeah I needed this”.
If you gave a bee the day off the general sentiment would be “What the fuck man, this is bullshit, I demand you let me go and collect nectar right fucking now!”
- Comment on I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) 1 year ago:
Banning vs. not banning are not hallmarks of leftism, rather it’s the difference between communities that are making an effort to be inclusive (a hallmark of leftism, btw) versus communities where the mods are so tired and overworked that it’s easier to ban people than adapt to the disruptions they may cause (a capitalist reflex that prioritizes being palatable to everyone over being fair to everyone).
So yeah, from a certain point of view, because of the simple fact that you are being tolerated marks Lemmy as a more leftist platform.
