Yeah when I googled it it was lots of opinions and this is from looking at 20 years of wear on them.
So they’re at least somewhat equal, I would say. Some might argue better. Some would not.
But definitely did make me feel alright about the prospect of having to replace a tooth or several.

Not just significant, I’m pretty sure the loss in value is some sort of a record, for real.
- Comment on We're not going to terraform Mars, but we're doing a good job of venusforming Earth. 21 hours ago:
The term translates horribly into Finnish: “maankaltaistaminen”. “To make like Earth/ground/dirt” and “make like” as in “type”, not “form”.
So it could be like “earthlikening” instead of “terraforming”.
Which makes me think of this Wikipedia that’s written in the way they imagine English could’ve evolved if it wasn’t influenced by Latin.
anglish.fandom.com/wiki/Main_leaf
for instance their article on maths starts with:
Telcraft (scorelore, rimecraft or reckonlore) (English: Mathematics) is the smeying of scorings, or the recking of begrips such as score, room, shift, and forebuilding. Benjamin Peirce called it “the cunning which draws needful outcomes”.
Through foredeeming and wordlock mulling, scorelore arose from notching, reckoning, deeming, and the learning of sheathes and shapes.
Knowledge and note of fern scorelore have always been a spanning and a needful lifetool, as can be witnessed from orshafts of Egypt, Bearithland, Indland, China and Frodland. Furthermore, the Ishango bone is more than 20 thousand years old.
Titillating, isn’t it?

Also, moving your ears and your head.
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 23 hours ago:
And we can also slightly move our ears a tiny amount, but I’m sure even that does increase accuracy.

And they can even do that in sync with thousands (and even millions) of other small birds.

Just earlier today I was googling whether even tooth implants are actually better than the natural alternative.
I didn’t find a definitive answer.

Also masturbation might be a challenge in that scenario.

Bad use of the meme.

Probably not “Marcus is gay” since they didn’t have a similar idea of sexuality, it being more or less a free-for-all.
- Comment on fuckery 3 days ago:
I take “what the absolute fuck” to mean there’s a platonic ideal of “fuck” and that’s what they’re referring to.
But this did make me want to find out the etymology of “absolute” :

Everyone reading this comment; “uh, seems a bit too depressing of an article, I’ll just read the comments.”
Well, I tried that, but there were no comments for me to look at. How am I supposed to ignore potential existential threats when no-one is flaming each other in te comments?
- Comment on What would North Korean soldiers do in Ukraine? 5 days ago:
I think someone’s should really be doing propaganda shorts for North Koreans.
Like quick informative packages of the West, how democracy works and is enforced and labour laws, how much people make what they can do etc etc.
In Korean ofc.
Have there be some format of it being supposedly comedy to be shared to Russian soldiers as “mocking” their fellow NK troops, so they share it on their own Telegrams, but then also show them to a bunch of North Koreans, some who will get phones and start sharing them.
- Comment on Do you really want it in your body??? 1 week ago:
I don’t think you can make a person without it, so having one which has never been in contact with it would be quite a challenge.
- Comment on Do you really want it in your body??? 1 week ago:
100% of people who have ever come in contact with it have died!
No no, will die. 100% fatality rate for all who come in touch with it.
I don’t know about you, but I’m still alive, some would argue. Physically at least.

Yeah this definitely isn’t a situation Captain Picard is talking about.
The quote is true, aye, and one has to learn to accept that, but this election definitely isn’t one of those situations, mistakes were made.
- Comment on 10 Ways to Destroy the World 1 week ago:
Well it says “siphoning”, but I think it rather refers to just blocking the light.
Which is something we’ve actually thought about and which definitely doesn’t have any global risks attached to it.

The abstract makes it make more sense with clearer language:
The significance of heating load (HL) accurate approximation is the primary motivation of this research to distinguish the most efficient predictive model among several neural-metaheuristic models. The proposed models are through synthesizing multi-layer perceptron network (MLP) with ant lion optimization (ALO), biogeography-based optimization (BBO), dragonfly algorithm (DA), evolutionary strategy (ES), invasive weed optimization (IWO), and league champion optimization (LCA) hybrid algorithms. Each ensemble is optimized in terms of the operating population.

Weed and League champions?
I think I’m one of those.
- Comment on Mushrooms 1 week ago:
Hope you addressed that to people in general.
I’ve dried and made tee as well. Was rather soft. But it’s very hard experimenting when you’ve no idea of potency or dosages. For me at least, even though I tried getting a good buzz and drank quite a large dose, the effects were rather mild. Noticeable and pleasant, but not too strong.
At least for one there was not a similar sort of anxiety liberty caps give. They are really potent though, so it’s a bit different.
I might collect an amanita or two actually not that they should be somewhat in season. Although I might be late already.
- Comment on Mushrooms 1 week ago:
Coke may have (re)popularised them, but they didn’t originate them, so the Siberian shroom santa is still technically possible if not plausible.
Although it may seem a fortunate coincidence, the use of red and white colours for Santa’s outfit was not a homage to Coca-Cola’s brand colours, but rather was inspired by the Bishop’s mitre clothing which may have been worn by the real St Nicholas
- Comment on Mushrooms 1 week ago:
Featured there is Amanita Muscaria, which isn’t really that poisonous. White Amanitas are lethal, never touch those, but with Muscaria you could have some fun.
Some even theorise that the reason Santa is red and white comes from Amanitas, basically a siberian shaman got fucked up on shrooms and climbed down the middle pole of the tent to give everyone else shrooms as well. Which is why Santa comes from the chimney and gives colorful presents. :) (Or so some people have theorised, I’m not asserting it as fact lol.)
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 2 weeks ago:
We can, sort of.
Not really, as I don’t think any currently remaining hunter-gatherers practice persistence hunting? But in the very loose sense that a lot of anthropology does indeed rely on studying some modern hunter-gatherers.
Isn’t it wild to think there are still a few uncontacted tribes which are classified as hunter-gatherers (although they’re partly pastoral and horticultural)?

I’m gonna use that saying, lol
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 2 weeks ago:
Literally just walk down animals and eat them, like a paleolithic terminator. We could carry water and possibly some jerry/nuts, so could literally go for days without stopping.
Horses can gallop for like a mile or two and maybe go for like 20 without stopping.
And we have tracking abilities. There was some meme about that paleolithic terminator thing. Like an animal would see these weird naked apes in the distance and that’s it, they’re done. Doesn’t matter if they run or not, death is coming.
And we definitely still have that ability, physically.
Check this out.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Young_(athlete)
Albert Ernest Clifford Young OAM (8 February 1922[1] – 2 November 2003[2]) was an Australian[2] athlete from Beech Forest, Victoria. A farmer, he became notable for his unexpected win of the inaugural Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon in 1983 at 61 years of age.[3][4]
In 1983, now aged 61 years old, Young won the inaugural Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon, a distance of 875 kilometres (544 mi). The race was run between what were then Australia’s two largest Westfield shopping centres: Westfield Parramatta in Sydney and Westfield Doncaster in Melbourne.[8] Young arrived to compete in overalls and work boots, without his dentures (later saying that they rattled when he ran).[9] He ran at a slow and loping pace and trailed the pack by a large margin at the end of the first day. While the other competitors stopped to sleep for six hours, Young kept running. He ran continuously for five days, taking the lead during the first night and eventually winning by 10 hours. Before running the race, he had told the press that he had previously run for two to three days straight rounding up sheep in gumboots.[10] He said afterwards that during the race he imagined he was running after sheep trying to outrun a storm. The Westfield run took him five days, fifteen hours and four minutes,[1] almost two days faster than the previous record for any run between Sydney and Melbourne, at an average speed of 6.5 kilometres per hour (4.0 mph).
And what a sportsman:
All six competitors who finished the race broke the old record. Upon being awarded the prize of A$10,000 (equivalent to $36,011 in 2022), Young said that he did not know there was a prize and that he felt bad accepting it, as each of the other five runners who finished had worked as hard as he did—so he split the money equally between them, keeping none.[11] Despite attempting the event again in later years, Young was unable to repeat this performance or claim victory again.

Apple seeds contain amygdalin, a substance that releases cyanide into the blood stream when chewed and digested. However, apple seeds in small amounts do not contain enough cyanide to cause harm.
