  Fairly short read effectively, it’s never been made public what the loophole was/is, and all those who knew first hand are dead now. But it’s speculated to be a few different things, the leading theory (and the one I think is it) is article V, the process by which we amend the constitution. If we can amend the constitution, we can amend article V, meaning we can then make it easier to amend again later, in a downward spiral. We could also amend the constitution, do a bunch of fashy shit, then amend article V to make it so the constitution could not be amended ever again.

  I remember when I found out that shit was plastic. I always assumed they were organic material of some kind, like the body scrubs with the crushed up walnut shell in it (which probably has fucking microplastic in it, too). So disgusting.

  This is why we need to change how shit works. It shouldn’t go: company does some shit > fall out > government steps in. It should go: company has an idea > must get permission first from environmental agencies

  I was pretty stonery in m’youth, and lemme tell you, I was not about to wake up early enough to brunch

  What the fuck is this place?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If this seems exaggerated to you then you haven't worked in IT long enough⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same thing that’s wrong with mine: the brain is really good at working collaboratively with other shit, and that means if the phone can remember the numbers your brain will happily give that task to the phone. I can remember so many number from before I had a cell, and almost none since then.

  It’s also got to do with repetition. We used to dial the number each time, now we almost never type the digits in, just pull up a contact (or more likely, a text from them) and hit call

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If this seems exaggerated to you then you haven't worked in IT long enough⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know the number is exaggerated for comedic effect, but it blows my silly little 'murican mind that phone numbers in the UK have variable length. All of our numbers are the same length. Country code (1), area code (757) prefix (368) and then the line number (0441). I’m sure something else might exist for super niche things or something, and we’ve got the 3 digit important numbers, like 911 (emergency/cops) or 988 (suicide prevention hotline), but personal numbers are always 7 digits plus the area code. It’s just weird to my brain that the length can be variable within a country.

  Also, try giving that example number a call…

  Look, you’re gonna have to face facts. People like you. Yes, your meme collection is great and mighty and powerful, but the fact that you collect all the memes that people love speaks to you. You saved those memes because you loved them, and then you selflessly decided to share them with a fledgling community to bring joy, and the people loved them. You bring joy. Santa doesn’t make the toys, he delivers them. You’re the lemming Santa. Stamta.

  Also, you are literally famous. It might only be locally, but you are, factually, famous 'round these parts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wanna show me? Send a DM⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stamets publicly acknowledging me? I can feel my Lemmy clout growing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Polish jalapeño pastry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because I just glanced at the picture while hiding my phone from customers and thought they were bees

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Polish jalapeño pastry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is it with European bakeries and bees? I’ve seen memes and stuff about it, and this one youtuber, a Vietnamese woman who’s German BF never shows his face, I can’t remember her name right now. She showed a bakery in Germany with bees everywhere. Why is this a thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It will⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a looooooong time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When an instance like lemm.ee shuts down, what happens to the posts and comments?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am in no way techy, but from what I gather because the posts are federated they are also stored on the other instances as well, so posts are still visible. In the post announcing the shuttering of .ee they specifically mentioned adding a note on your profile to link to your new profile, so people can find your new profile after that shut down. That implies to me that everything not intentionally scrubbed remains open/visible long after the shut down of the original source.

  Again, though, not techy, so I may be vocalizing from my posterior

  The content of this is weird AF (I get what it’s referencing), but I’d like to see more bardcore comics

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom sues porn sites (Including Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Superporn and Hentaicity) for noncompliance with Kansas age assurance law; Teen can no longer enjoy life after mom caught him visiting Chaturbate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s just poorly written pseudo-legalese, and it’s intended to mean that he will be unable to enjoy life in the future because of the psychological damage that poor is doing to him (unrealistic expectations and mental harm, et cetera).

  While porn addiction and unrealistic ideas of beauty and sex are genuinely real things that happen, the way to prevent that is with frank, open discussions about sex and pornography, not trying to prevent your 14 year old from masturbating. I was a 14 year old boy at one point, and lemme tell you, nothing could stop me from masturbating. Nothing. It’s just not going to happen. Kids will find ways to find porn, and if somehow we completely do away with it entirely (again, won’t happen), they’ll find new ways, and they’ll read and write erotica or get into hentai or whatever. This woman is insane, Kansas is insane, and so are all the other states imposing this bullshit

  Iirc, they address both the knee thing and the clothes in the books. Skin tight clothing morphs with you, and I distinctly remember one conversation about the knees thing, but I couldn’t tell you which book it was (though, my buddy Goom probably can)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i broke⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “being aware of, and able to accurately diagnose the type of mental illness you’re dealing with is not the same thing as actually working to fix it”

  And

  “That’s bullshit. Honestly. That’s bullshit. Just because you can articulately attempt to justify it doesn’t mean it’s justified”

  Also

  “Sometimes things just suck and you have to deal with that for a long time”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm so vegan I could eat a burger and still be a vegan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same boat. I’m not vegan, and I’ll probably never be. I could genuinely see myself going lacto ovo, but honestly, that wouldn’t be so hard for me if I only cook for myself. But, like, it is clearly the correct moral decision, and anyone arguing that is either misinformed or lying to themselves

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm so vegan I could eat a burger and still be a vegan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s the level when you keep telling people “I’m really thinking about going vegan. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna do it”
