- Comment on US moves to protect all species of pangolin, world's most trafficked mammal 1 week ago:
People eat them don’t they? If they raise some for meat they won’t be endangered, seems like a lucrative endeavor if they’re so in demand. I’ve seen other people say raising tiger for meat would prevent their extinction too but pangolins look easier to raise and, frankly, more edible.
Honestly I bet they’re delicious, those plates would soften up if boiled and then you could deep fry the rinds, yum. Fairly chonky critters too, so definitely some good cuts of well-marbled meat. All those ants and grubs they eat would probably give the meat an unforgettable, delectable, craveable flavor. Between goose and turkey size so you could have one on Thanksgiving. Could pangolin break into the top 5 most eaten meats? Easily the top 10.
I will let you know when I eat my first pangolin, hopefully one raised in America.

Any time I see Eno’s name I get that MGMT song stuck in my head

Can confirm rubbing alcohol can improve your experience with failing phone charge port. I got to the point with one where it wouldn’t charge unless I applied a minuscule amount of alcohol around the metal prong in the phone with a shaved down toothpick before plugging it in. This tip is mentioned exclusively for those trying to extend the life of an end-stage phone and I take no responsibility for any fires or harm to the phone.
That said, there were never any problems when I did it and it extended the phone’s life maybe 8 months, and after a few months it didn’t even need the alcohol. Maybe it improves conductivity or used the charger head to over time clean the phone port. This was a USB-micro charger because I like using 8 year old, $60 phones.
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 5 weeks ago:
Easy enough to block the sports communities from your feed if you browse c/all if you dont like them. I say someone set up the sports communities and start posting articles to see if we can get more adoption by the sports folks over here. I dont have the patience for sports but more users is good. Some sports people are obnoxious but some certainly aren’t (Bill Bppurr comes to mind) and userbase growth is needed.

I mean I’ve been getting spam sms texts from email addresses lately so I assume it’s complete phone anarchy now in these late days

I know it’s a tiny minority of their culture over there but I will miss seeing screenshots of their wholesome/poignant greentexts. I hope some of those robots move on and turn out ok

I had a couple sticks of the standardly creamy Cabot in the fridge and happily still cooking with it. Extra creamy just seemed excessive when I saw it in the store.

So a regular blender wasnt enough, hmmm. We need to get the NileRed of baking on this. I want video evidence now that you’ve given us the proof of concept.

Main reason for me is Realms limits the view distance to 16 rather than 32 on Java
- Are there other notable assassinations in recent or not-so-recent history that brought out overwhelming public support, such as, perhaps, when Gavrilo Princip shot the Archduke Franz Ferdinand?lemmy.world ↗Submitted 6 months ago to history@lemmy.world | 1 comment

I can see why Techbros would want such gorgeous invertebrates as pets but as long as they have enough enrichment in their enclosure but I would hardly call keeping these primitive worms slavery. Any kind of exotic pet always raises questions of ethicality so I understand why you’d be concerned. Do you personally know some people in the tech industry that keep these? How big a terrarium do they need and what kinds of plants and substrate do they prefer?

That’s what it is, isn’t it. Retirement in their design department, new hires and this is a Millenial message marketing to Gen Zers (and Alphas too, automotive preference starts early)

I think they want people to focus on the “agua” and the j and r are just little accents on it like its word art rather than a logo. Like, I literally picture the marketing weirdos at the meeting going off like this.
- Comment on It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking 7 months ago:
I’m in the US and I pronounce it, I think a lot of people do? Maybe I just know a lot of snobs and “regular” Americans mush the word together but I don’t think so

If you’re always reparking your car you run a risk of a collision with a distracted driver. If someone sees a car going into a spot its not unreasonable to think they’d assume the car is out of play and can be ignored. When you back out to adjust back between the lines eventually one of those times someone won’t be paying attention to you.]

Googled it and:
Gut microbiota: PAs can improve the diversity of gut microbes, and can increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria while decreasing the abundance of harmful bacteria.
Fecal odor: PAs can reduce the level of putrefactive substances in the feces, which can reduce fecal odor.
Fecal pH: PAs can decrease fecal pH.
Antimicrobial activity: PAs can have an antimicrobial effect on potentially pathogenic bacteria.
Prebiotic effect: PAs can have a prebiotic effect on beneficial bacteria.
Looks like I’m buying some seeded grapes for science!
