  For a very, very brief moment, humanity did good science

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans on average get 2 hours of battery life for every hour they charge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  No wonder I crash after 8 hours

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In multiple shots (no pun intended) it is shown him holding a phone to record. Question is what happened to the phone and why not release his video?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re probably trying to sell it on eBay as we speak

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Je connais aussi le français :) C’est un peu plus difficile que l’espagnol à cause des lettres qu’on ne prononce jamais, mais pas beaucoup en fait

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Spanish is phonetic, what you see is what you get. There’s a few rules around the pronunciation of the letter c and (q)u/h not being pronounced, but it’s otherwise pretty standard. Gender in Spanish isn’t that hard and most words have endings that hint at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point, what should we do about the ICE Agents and Trump and such?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Use the four boxes of liberty

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He wants Greenland because it cuts Europe’s access to Canada

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Americans are already fleeing as political refugees, regardless of whether or not asylum is involved. I did it on a work permit but the mental and physical stresses are all there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long would it take a black Hole to fully absorb a person from event horizon to center of the earth style?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on who you ask

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a language so that people can discuss varying levels of nuance with each other. You probably don’t care about the difference between industrial metal and folk metal, but metalheads certainly do. And even that’s a pretty top level example.

  Same goes for every other genre/subgenre. Indie pop and bubble pop can be very different, and just because someone likes one doesn’t mean they’ll like the other.

  There is also a historic factor in all this because genres are always influenced, derived from, or mixed with other genres. Triphop was born this way, as a mix of hiphop, jazz, dub, electronica, and others

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does that craft where you stab a ball of fluff with a needle until it looks like something work?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh I’ve tried felting cat hair before and had zero success. It’s too long, I ended up just burying it in regular felt. Whereas my dog’s hair was super easy to felt into a mini version of her

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point, what should we do about the ICE raids? If an ICE agent breaks in without a warrant or holds you at gunpoint, what do you do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are four boxes of liberty. The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammo box. Use them in that order

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does that craft where you stab a ball of fluff with a needle until it looks like something work?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s called felting. It’s just condensing all the hairs together. They have to be coarse enough to bind to each other

  Fun fact, you can felt dog hair but not cat hair

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I publish my memoir and wrote about every bad thing people did to hurt me while the people mentioned are still alive, how much trouble could I get in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t wait for the discovery phase of that lawsuit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the limits to masked so called ICE agents? Are they just let off the hook and disobey laws while not identifying themselves? Why can't I be in the right by them stopping me first and shoot?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as the fascists are in power, they are functionally above the law. We’ve seen them murder in broad daylight and rape without punishment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Human ands pigs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Much like walking, you just have to take it one foot after the other

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gun violence isn’t even in the top 10 leading causes of death in the US. You’re more likely to die in an auto accident or to cancer or heart disease or diabetes or a number of other things than due to gun violence. If you’re trying to present a serious argument here, you might want to consider actual statistics.

  Given the prevalence of carbrain culture and corn syrup/hyperprocessed ingredients in EVERYTHING, I think this is more of a “we should tackle all of the above” problem. Your chances of dying to gun violence in the US are exponentially higher than anywhere else, in addition to the US taking health and safety less seriously than other developed countries. The red line must go up at any cost.

  I say this as someone who lived in the US for most of my life before fleeing to another country. The grass is always greener when compared to a toxic waste dump.

  It’s all from Temu and Amazon

  ICE is the new Candlej

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do your own farts smell so bad in the shower?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …you can smell your own brand?

  Lol no

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should the next President of the United States do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I expect it’ll be another center right neolib so nothing substantial

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The visa holders are often the people fleeing the US

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  War, either world or civil. Unfortunately I don’t see any other way at this point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Darth Vader was NOT a bad person⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You seem like the kinda person who saw the Stormtroopers lining up and said “yeah, I can get behind that”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smarties are like the chocolate version of jellybeans⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Neither Smarties nor Rockets nor Sweetarts are taffy like

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smarties are like the chocolate version of jellybeans⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We have both in Canada. The difference is that smarties are naturally colored, whereas M&Ms are vibrant thanks to artificial colorings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smarties are like the chocolate version of jellybeans⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  US smarties are the same exact thing as Rockets elsewhere. They’re both sugary crack

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Midnight is a stupid time for the clock to roll over to the next day⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Home ownership should also work like Animal Crossing

  But then you’d spend your entire life doing unfulfilling mediocre jobs to pay off debt
