- Comment on If we ever find a planet with life in it, we could never set foot on it, because the interaction of the two biologies can have unpredictable consequences 1 day ago:
If the biology is different enough, things like viruses wouldn't easily cross between the planets. But bacteria could still probably exploit us (and them), and nothing would stop things with claws, teeth, and spikes from hurting us even if they couldn't ultimately digest us.
- Comment on Fight Chat Control - Protect Digital Privacy in the EU - use this to EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES 1 day ago:
The first rule of Fight Chat is you can't control Fight Chat.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 2 days ago:
I'll get back to this, but I first need to complete my post called "Have you ever spoken to someone in person?"
- Comment on A brain transplant is one of those rare cases where you’d rather be the donor than the recipient. 2 days ago:
Kidney might be similar. Both people are likely to be left with one functioning kidney, but one has to take anti-rejection drugs.
A partial liver transplant and a bone marrow transplant is even more along the lines of better to be the donor.
And fecal transplants are pretty easy on both parties, but moreso the donor.
- Comment on Breakthrough gel can regenerate tooth enamel within weeks 1 week ago:
The researchers used extracted human molars as an ex vivo model, first etching their enamel or dentine surfaces with acid to mimic different stages of tooth erosion. They then applied a single coating of the biomimetic elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) gel and let it dry. Finally, the teeth were immersed in carefully controlled mineralization baths that replicated the ionic environment of saliva.
Keep in mind this hasn't been shown to actually help teeth in someone's mouth.
- Comment on If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ? 1 week ago:
You're the only one to comment with the accent of a people of color. You read my comment and then picked an African animal and gave it the accent of one of the African countries where it lives.
Congratulations for proving me wrong after being aware of my comment. But your entry wasn't at all funny or enlightening, so we all lose.
- Comment on If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ? 1 week ago:
It was a prediction. We need to wait for the evidence.
So far groups mentioned have been Aussie, Brit, French, Italian, and Russian. At the time I made my comment it was Aussie and Italian only.

This encourages racist responses, but no one will notice until a people of color are involved.
- Comment on If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ? 1 week ago:
Pigeons would speak a pidgin language, obviously.
- Comment on People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather? 1 week ago:
Santa lives at the North Pole. He has to dress warmly. 2/3 of Earth's population lives north of the equator. Santa has to dress for the majority of the people he will visit as he doesn't have time to change clothes. Santa's helpers in malls are like stunt doubles. They have to dress like Santa dresses.

- Comment on I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons? 2 weeks ago:
You just need a humanoid robot with the latest AI. Then you explain what you want it to do, and if it doesn't murder you or make you its slave, you might be alright.
- Comment on It's interesting to see what qualifies as a swear in different languages. 2 weeks ago:
When Grandma calls you an SOB, it's really about her daughter-in-law.

I see now I read the opposite of what is written (people would treat each with dignity without religion).
- Comment on The people who protest against the Palestinian Genocide would be the same people who protested against the Holocaust. 2 weeks ago:
A form of protest, perhaps, but probably not what OP was thinking of.
- Comment on The people who protest against the Palestinian Genocide would be the same people who protested against the Holocaust. 2 weeks ago:
That's against Nazis. Not a lot of people knew about the Holocaust outside of Germany.
I found this one, which happened in Berlin and led to the release of 1800 Jewish people (!).
- Comment on Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world? 2 weeks ago:
There are some obvious historical counterexamples.

Who protested against the Holocaust?

Do you imagine you're king when you do it? I learned about this recently.
- Comment on FTC removes Lina Khan-era posts about AI risks and open source 3 weeks ago:
As we can see, Biden (and we can assume also his would-be successor Harris) was just another Democrat beholden to corporate interests. He used Lina Khan to further the appearance of caring about consumers and working on their behalf.

Your way is to have to pee all night.

- Comment on [USA] Is "there are ICE agents roaming the streets" a good reason/excuse to avoid going outside? Or is it just a part of reality that you have to learn to accept? 3 weeks ago:
What the heck is this? A person who thinks their small business will survive the economic climate ahead is a moron?
- Comment on Am I getting this right? The vibe of different lemmy instances 4 weeks ago:
I note you didn't attack the substance of what was said, just who it was paraphrasing.

Capitalism is the worst economic model except for all the others.
