- Comment on Yemen fires long-range missile at Israel, no casualties reported 1 day ago:
We’ve been seeing these signs for years, but what can we do about it? A world war could never be a surprise, because it requires significant worldwide tension.
- Comment on Horseshoe crabs be like 1 day ago:
There’s also no evidence that horseshoe crabs have individual names and understand the concept of evolution.
- Comment on Nice 6 days ago:
nice
- Comment on Ask and ye shall receive. 1 week ago:
That’s absolutely relevant, lol. I forgot the topic
- Comment on Ask and ye shall receive. 1 week ago:
On the one hand yes, on the other hand, destroying information is akin to wasting food
- Comment on RIP 1 week ago:
Bonus points if the death could have been easily avoided, had the character been a mage.
- Comment on RIP 1 week ago:
It is like flammable and inflammable then?
- Comment on Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable 1 week ago:
Sometimes it’s a second (or fifth) language for Indian people, but it’s also a dialect which is just as valid as your dialect and it’s got the second most English speakers in the world. The accent may just be an accent, you definitely shouldn’t assume that it’s a sign someone will have incorrect English.
- Comment on Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable 1 week ago:
I’m from Connecticut and once had a serious problem with a person my company insured from North Carolina. He was talking to me about what caused his accent and I kept hearing “tar” instead of “tire.” We were equally qualified as native speakers.
If you’re concerned, you can listen to more Indian English, because familiarity should ease any understanding difficulties in the future.
- Comment on Former Trump official Stephanie Grisham to speak at the Democratic convention 3 weeks ago:
They’re trying to appeal to independents and moderate republicans. Tbh, I’d prefer this than conceding on policy.
- Comment on Parents outraged at Snoo after smart bassinet company charges fee to rock crib for crying babies 4 weeks ago:
I could see it, depending on the pub.
- Comment on There are lots of different ways to make cum and they all taste pretty bad 4 weeks ago:
That’ll only produce cum for about half the population. As always, half of us are supposed to subsist on grool.
I’m sorry about this already
- Comment on The many, many signs that Kamala Harris’ rally crowds aren’t AI creations 4 weeks ago:
When he says her crowds are AI, it means he’s using AI on his crowds.
- Comment on Shart, not fart 4 weeks ago:
We never learn
- Comment on It's OK, Yellowstone 5 weeks ago:
He might be, but he’s got a master’s degree in vulcanology and he includes a list of research topics so you can check (though they’re not layman friendly)
- Comment on Ah sweet! 5 weeks ago:
As long as it’s not coerced, yes (not the brain).
- Comment on It's OK, Yellowstone 5 weeks ago:
Is there a master list of super well researched videos that debunk looming stressors? I think I just found my favorite YouTube genre
- Comment on Corn 🌽 5 weeks ago:
True, but people selectively bred teosinte into corn.
- Comment on When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Waltz is the DEI hire. 5 weeks ago:
He appeals to the billionaire voting bloc. They have small numbers (larger than I’d like) of direct votes, but for some reason, they sway elections.
- Comment on Technically Correct 5 weeks ago:
I don’t mean to be ungrateful, but I wouldn’t vote for a republican who got me a job, and I probably wouldn’t vote for anyone who got rid of my job (unless they were otherwise really great). So at least for me, getting rid of the job means you lose my vote and replacing it doesn’t necessarily gain my vote.
- Comment on On Bears 5 weeks ago:
So it’s really unlikely they’ll get a second one in time
- Comment on Technically Correct 5 weeks ago:
But would the TSA workers vote for them?
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 5 weeks ago:
And because it uses spoilers, when I click it to collapse the comment, it just expands
- Comment on What has he done to deserve this? 5 weeks ago:
Except for an O
- Comment on Noise 5 weeks ago:
Plants talk? As in rustle with movement or communicate through sound? Can plants hear? The world is amazing, I’ll be on Wikipedia for a few.
- Comment on Israeli minister says it may be ‘moral’ to starve 2 million Gazans, but ‘no one in the world would let us’ 5 weeks ago:
But idc, Id rather see your children tortured maliciously by a roving band of Rottweilers than admit any religious person had the right to breath
You see how you’re not the good guy here?
- Comment on Israeli minister says it may be ‘moral’ to starve 2 million Gazans, but ‘no one in the world would let us’ 5 weeks ago:
Then why did you delete it? Surely you’re not embarrassed?
- Comment on Israeli minister says it may be ‘moral’ to starve 2 million Gazans, but ‘no one in the world would let us’ 5 weeks ago:
Those same people would admit a flood should coat the earth to kill all sinners… shouldn’t die to a flood?
people who believe that the flood was god’s greatest betrayal of mankind and who literally worship god as part of a compact to ensure god never does anything like it again?
Yeah, they shouldn’t die for that.
But thank you, I’ve never had someone try to insult me by calling me a pleb while insisting they’re a leftist. It’s… ear-ringing.
- Comment on Israeli minister says it may be ‘moral’ to starve 2 million Gazans, but ‘no one in the world would let us’ 5 weeks ago:
So yes? You want anyone who believes in Noah’s ark to die? I wouldn’t call you a leftist.

You know that it’s not rare, right? 84% of people worldwide are affiliated with a religion. Do you want 84% of people to drown?
