consistency like toothpaste squeezing out of a tube
This seems way too soft, like isn’t it supposed to firm up a bit before you poop it out? Like, if I wipe 3 times and I still have soft poop behind the sphincter that ain’t right. Ideally I’m thinking like ripe peeled banana or a little harder, you know? Actually drop a few logs rather than the soft-serv shape from the emoji. Maybe this is 80s-90s thinking though, from when dog poop was white.
- Comment on How come hypothetically if I make meth in my home. Knowing full well it could explode and take out my neighbors houses, why am I not charged with attempted murder? 1 week ago:
I thought it was more noxious fumes from meth production that were the main hazard, rather than explosivity.

Same, the algorithm seems to do recommendations a little better too but that might be my imagination.
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 2 weeks ago:
I pay for premium to get rid of ads. Not convinced that adblockers will be a permanent and privacy friendly option but havent really explored it. But anything faster than maybe 2.35x is unintelligible, and not worth usint due to sound “tearing” issues (youtube lets you adjust it in 0.05x increments)

Biblehub has a Greek text option and full translation of words if you want to dive in. Most of the ideas I picked up from Dr. Ammon Hillman who has a couple of books out from several years ago, you can find quite a few interviews with him online and he livestreams at least weekly. Quite a fertile field of study, the differences in Bible texts between English/Latin and the original Greek.
- Comment on Corn or something idk 2 weeks ago:
The modern translation is a fairytale but if you get into the original Greek bible texts and supporting and opposing texts from Greco-Roman civilization it paints a very interesting picture of the corruption of the ancient world into the situation we call Western Civilization today. Hopeful eras where humanity improved like the Renaissance and the American Revolutionary War were in large part due to study and reemergence of pre-Christian pagan ideas from Greek antiquity.
- Comment on Corn or something idk 2 weeks ago:
Considering how in the original Greek text of the New Testament the Apostles were all described as being between 10 and 19 years of age hanging out with 30-something year old Jesus, and how Jesus’ crucifixion was a result of him being caught in the middle of the night in the Garden of Gesthemane (Mark 14:51-52) with a naked boy, yeah I’d say they have a complicated relationship with gay molestation of the underage.
Certainly not the mainstream view taught in church but classical philologist Dr. Ammon Hillman has the receipts.

True enough. Hey if we try hard enough maybe gen Z can reevaluate it - let’s include Gen Jones and the Xennials and Zillenials
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 2 weeks ago:
I mean let’s count - boomers, gen x, millenials, gen z is only 4 generations later. Generation gamma or delta can decide if it’s a redeemable symbol and I cant imagine they’ll care all that much what their great (great) grandparents generation thought about it.
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 2 weeks ago:
1 occasionally the user base freaks the fuck out and starts spamming the same thing, like this. I don’t like Nazis, but that also means I don’t want literally everything on my funny picture site to be about keeping them out. 2 increasingly all the popular stuff isn’t memes at all, but shitting on trump and musk.
Doesnt sound all that different from here especially on #1, case in point beans, jeans and more recently corn for some reason
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 2 weeks ago:
My neighbor uses Imgur as his main social media. I take that with a grain of salt though since he’s a millenial who only used flip phones til 2022, there are dozens like him, dozens!

I believe 7 generations is the gold standard

This is a big reason I hope/hoped Lemmy/Piefed/Fediverse sees widespread adoption in the future. It’s basically the same userbase and memes in every community, with some small exceptions.

I think this is the answer. I’ve seen similarly conspicuous altruism from Juggalos.
- Comment on One in four unconcerned by sexual deepfakes created without consent, survey finds 5 weeks ago:
I think the argument will eventually end up in the uncanny valley, like obviously it’s legal to draw a shitty little cartoon of someone engaged in sex but as it becomes closer to photorealism it becomes illegal? Is photoshopping someone’s head onto a porn star illegal? I mainly dont like laws like this because it bring politicians that are ignorant about AI into legislating it on the basis of it being about scandalous sex related stuff, generally to sell more surveillance.
- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 5 weeks ago:
Nah just destroy them all, maybe I can get my friends to learn Bridge with me. If not, Canasta will suffice.
- Comment on Personally, I never travel anywhere without it 1 month ago:
Nope, you’re thinking of the Lost Generation, nope Silents were called that because like Gen X, they were fewer in number than the post-war Boomers, and becuase they were generally known for being cautious and thrifty, having grown up in the shadow of WWII but too young to fight in it.
- Comment on Personally, I never travel anywhere without it 1 month ago:
I think it’s more about easy portability than discretion.
- Comment on Personally, I never travel anywhere without it 1 month ago:
Not sure if you’re implying it but the Silent generation was sandwiched between the Greatest and the Boomers.

- Comment on With how shitty some Christians are, you really have to wonder if Lucifer or Satan is truly "evil" 1 month ago:
Also, in Dr. Hillman’s book Original Sin: Child Rape and the Church he outlines how medieval and earlier rape of children by church leaders led directly out of Jesus’ pederasty, something the priests wrote at length about using Jesus’ actions as justification.
His other book The Chemical Muse was instrumental in getting academia to admit the widespread use of recreational drugs in antiquity.
Dr. Hillman doesnt get any money from the purchase of these books and he encourages you to pirate them.

Hey they crucified him for being arrested in the Garden of Gesthemane (Mark 14:51-52) in the middle of the night with a naked ~12 year old boy with a bandage on his junk (some drugs and eunuchs shit) - somehow Christians miss this crucial plot point of his big act. All the other apostles were at that time, out cold on the drugs he had given them.
Crucified between two other traffickers too, lestes in the Greek, same sort of people who held Julius Caesar for ransom - after Caesar got free he instituted crucifixion as the standard punishment for traffickers.
They mistranslate it as thieves and say Jesus was marked as a political rebel or something but the mob of people and heavily armed soldiers that came for him were very justified in their anger.

You might be interested in Dr. Ammon Hillman, his doctorate is in classical philology and he has a masters in immunology as well, he’s been reading and translating Ancient Greek for 35 years, including a lot of neglected medical texts. He asserts that both the Old and New testaments of the Bible were originally written in Greek, within a couple hundred years of each other. He has a lot of praise for Satan and the figure’s apparent origins in Greek culture (Diana Lucifera and other mentions), and talks about Satan predating both Judaism and Christianity.
Hes also got plenty of scorn for Jesus, who according to his seemingly rigorous translation of the Greek bible was on a lot of drugs throughout his life and during his death, and was sexually exploiting and trafficking minors (the Apostles apparently ranged in age from 10-19)
He did some decent interviews on the Danny Jones show and on Hamilton Morris’s podcast, and Ammon hosts a live stream a couple times a week at Lady Babylon on youtube. The name of his channel comes from Medea, a “sorceress” from Scythia who became queen of Babylon at one point. She was Hecate’s daughter and sister to Circe from the Odyssey, and apparently was the first named person in history referred to as a “Christ”, a term that he has showed at length refers to the use of drugs in antiquity. We get the word “medicine” from Medea.
Pretty outlandish if you’re not familiar with him but despite his sometimes abrasive and eccentric presentation style I feel like the picture he paints of the ancient Greek world during the few centuries around the time of Jesus makes a lot of sense, and I appreciate that his channel is non-monetized and he doesnt accept donations for what he does sharing what he’s found in half a lifetime of studying Greek source texts.

Its food for the new poor. The generationally poor were eating chicken wings back in the 80s for $0.19 a pound and loving them. Now, after the dreadful gentrification of wings post-9/11 we’ve got ways to stretch a dollar you’ll never learn unless you marry in.
