Ok, got it, wombats are not bats. But are bats wombats? Pretty unclear on that.

Honestly, “dick beard” sounds worse than “face pubes”:-?

Yep! Most definitely not a scientist!:))) Thank you so much for the details, this has brought me to the point where I’m starting to understand what I don’t know about research in general!
- Comment on It's true... 1 week ago:
Oh, hadn’t thought about it that way! And, fair point, different types of interest in science.
Also think the “for science” specifier set it so that the entire thing would be research oriented:)) Were it for donation of organs, yeah… not much use for a nuked lover=)))

Mum used to tell me stories about how dad and a mate of his would prank a third dude while practicing on bodies by casually having lunch over an open chest cavity, with the full salad on display. Frequently made the third guy lose his.
So far, the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree, so… yeah:))) Most likely=))))

I mean… I’m not a scientist, but wouldn’t that be a good thing? A scientifically uninteresting apecimen, to me, means no abnormalities, no weird diseases, bog-standard “nothing interesting, they just died.”

- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 2 weeks ago:
In all ways imaginable, especially emotional. I’ve seen some sad shit in my life, but this overall bend toward mindless self-annihilation our species seems to have is by far the saddest…

Oh, that makes a lotta sense! Sorry to hear about your familial context, though:(
Had a rough upbringing as well, anxiety and I are old friends by this point, but I developed the opposite - I pushed toward resilience, toward holding it in for as long as possible, precisely because I understood I couldn’t count on anyone around me.

Oh, I said nothing about honour! There’s being nice, and there’s being fair. I’m more for being fair than being nice, and as I see it, it’s fair to hit back. The difference is in the nuance of how I hit back. Why eliminate when immobilise would suffice, y’know?
- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, this person’s right! We should start making inflammatory AI videos, too! Dump that whole tanker ship in the fire, fuck it!
No. I am sorry, but no. The hate on Lemmy is not against AI as a technology, it is against how it is being used, how it is being peddled, how it is being shoved down everyone’s throats, and how much damage it’s doing to our environment.
And, to your point about feelings not mattering, from what I’ve seen, most people (including myself) are exhausted! We are sureounded by people losing their shit left and right, bigotry, racism, hate in general are mainstream, Fascism is out, about, and in power, and it looks like we’re all forgetting that the planet is literally burning up again.
We are tired. Most of us have already been through enough shit as it is, we would want nothing more than to see the end of this string of “once in a lifetime” disasters, yet we understand that the easy way out means we’ll end up becoming exactly what’s ruining our lives right now. This isn’t just about winning, HOW we win is equally important, if not more so. Because that will set the tone for what would follow.

Hmm, I wonder if it has something to do with muscle tension, maybe?:-? Your mentioning of relaxation clicked, maybe when we lay on our backs, our bladders/various sphincters relax and release?:-?
I, for one, can say for certain I am tensed up for pretty much the duration of my episodes of consciousness…

This is how AI will take over… not by wars or competence, but by being better at bureaucratic forgeries…

Every single time, yes! Every single damned time when I lay on my back, I have to get up and pee within 5 minutes tops… No small bladder, no UT issues, nothin’…

Yeah, in that vindictiveness does not a good person make.

How about just be decent for the fuck of it? Why should we need reasons to be good people?
- Comment on Don't forget to turn purple and remove your arms 2 weeks ago:
I got very lucky and found the perfect mattress for this, it has a softer exterior layer (about 5-6cm of cheapo smartphoam) and something tougher at its core, perfect balance between smushy enough to accommodate an elbow, firm enough to keep things tidy. No-name mattress from an Ikea knock-off, it was a steal.
Struggling with pillows, though… Still haven’t managed to find something which works for me… Plenty of blankets to wrangle with my legs, so there’s that, at least.

- Comment on Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come 2 weeks ago:
Well, there are always ready-to-go solutions. A 1TB external drive isn’t all that expensive nowadays, and they’re enough for daily use!
Plus, honestly… there are soo many tutorials online about how to set up everything, amd most things are a couple of commands one has to copy/paste into a command prompt. The anxiety is far worse than the procedure itself.
Maybe what’s needed is propagating these tutorials more, make them visible and highlight their accessibility in terms of procedural difficulty!
- Comment on Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come 2 weeks ago:
This! Invest in local storage as much as possible, ideally create your own proper storage server! Given how fragmented and volatile things are becoming, this isn’t even just about access anymore, it’s about archival as well.

Facetious question: don’t they own private satellites IRL, too?:))
- Comment on One of the best parts of Cyberpunk (as a theme) is the ubiquitisation of cultures 3 weeks ago:
See, that’s the thing, I rarely see these spaces being used nowadays! We have a couple of areas within the city which used to be high-traffic for skaters, bikers and such, now it’s (and I know how this’ll make me sound, but…) teens staring at their cellphones.
And the creepiest thing is that most people are even dressed the same. One used to see entire herds of Metal peeps, or you could tell the bikers and the skaters apart even without their signature implements. Dunno, maybe I’m getting old, but I miss seeing that variety.
Or, hell, maybe it’s just my country slowly dying off!=)))
- Comment on One of the best parts of Cyberpunk (as a theme) is the ubiquitisation of cultures 3 weeks ago:
That’s a fair point and an unrealised bias, our country doesn’t have that large of an influx, so it’s generally been mostly just “us” around here.
Even so, when starting from the local flavour, there are very few aspects which stray from globally mass-distributed stuff, y’know? Like, most stuff around here feel pretty American, for one, even though we’re almost on opposite ends of the planet. And it’s the same in many other places I’ve visited. And it makes sense, honestly, it’s easier to interact if everyone behaves in a familiar manner.
