- Comment on I have a question on how and when coal actually formed. 17 hours ago:
There is no formation process. Coal exists because there were NO microbes to rot organic materials down. Coal stopped forming when microbes arrived on the scene.
- Comment on There's now more people that complain about AI then there is AI content on Lemmy 3 days ago:
AI lies, spreads misinformation and steals. So no, I would not be cool with it if it took up fewer natural resources.
- Comment on It's probably for the best that mosquitoes havent evolved so they're bites aren't itchy 4 days ago:
They often do when you’ve been bitten before.

Yes. Just not publicly available ones.

‘A lot younger’ was usually still in their twenties, unless they were nobility getting married off for political reasons.
- Comment on Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't. 1 week ago:
Worse than medieval feudalism. Lords were expected to look after their vassals.
- Comment on It's utterly hypocritical that the "defence" industry/sector is not called what it really is, the war industry. 1 week ago:
The war is never on their soil? WW1 and 2 and Yugoslavia ring a bell? And Ukraine is a western country too.
They predict that Russia will attack western Europe in 2027, by the way.
- Comment on Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was. 1 week ago:
‘NSFW’ includes the antifascist subreddit and subreddits talking about Israel and Gaza.
- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 1 week ago:
This is absolute bullshit. People know WAY too little. Not too much. Which is why they vote for people who will destroy the world.
- Comment on It bothers me when cat memes refer to the pictured cat as "he," but I can tell from its coat pattern that it's female. I may know too much about cats. 2 weeks ago:
I’ve had a male cat and a female dog for the past 16 years and my dad still calls the dog he and the cat she 🙄.

Miami only recently turned red.
- Comment on We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place. 2 weeks ago:
So you’ll believe the guy, but not the women.
And that’s exactly what’s wrong with most of these comments.
- Comment on I turned 30 yesterday but I look 18. Nobody believes me when I tell them my age. What do I do? Do I date a 20 year old guy or a 35 year old guy who looks twice my age? 2 weeks ago:
Most 20 year olds are less mature, not some. It’s predatory.

- Comment on we must protect them from exotics 2 weeks ago:
In the UK my windscreen was squeaky clean, in Brandenburg it was full of bugs in no time, here in Baden-Württemberg it’s clean again. I see vinyards spraying far too often. The normal farms are excellent here, with small fields, crop rotation and few pesticides, but screw the vinyards.

Yeah, all cards in Germany are PIN only.

South Western Germany (which usually is the sunniest and driest part of Germany): one heatwave, muggy as hell.
- Comment on A while back ago I heard there was a Japanese company that could disappear a person. Like all internet images, posts about them. If anyone in Japan can answer is this true? And how much is it? 3 weeks ago:
I’m just here to take notes. Carry on.

All music has to be is something nice to listen to.
