Soy and lentils are beans, also called “pulse crops” because of some antiquated agricultural terminology. Pulses.org can tell you all about the magical world of pulses!
- Comment on You didn't grow up yet, till you choose your power grain, what is yours? 6 hours ago:
Rye FTW.
Also, lentils are beans, not grain.

I take offense to this!
- Comment on It will be great, they said... 6 hours ago:
Honest question: is there also a boatload of sketchy stiff to avoid if you just wanted to have a nice SFW time? Early 2000s internet before Google indexed everything had some pockets of unsavory.
Also, is it just a bunch of middle aged dudes in mostly text forums? That’s like 85% of my experience with 90s internet.

Yes, but trying to trick someone else onto eating your reproductive bodily fluids is sexual assault.
- Comment on I just came in your cereal. AMA 1 day ago:
I don’t eat cereal. Whose did you actually ejaculate into and are you prepared for the sexual assault charge?
- Comment on The amount of ghost towns in the US and elsewhere will skyrocket in our lifetimes and become a normalized thing 2 days ago:
This is actually fairly normal through human history. Oasies dry up, mines run out, rivers change, easily fortified locations prove later impractical, trade routes move due to conflict or geography. When it happens within your lifetime, it triggers the cognitive bias of loss aversion. You feel it personally. When it happens a century or two before, it’s a curiosity.
I’ve spent a lot of time in dying or ghost towns, and no one owes any human settlement the right to exist in perpetuity. If humans vanished tomorrow, who would mourn your or my hometown?

Well, not really, but you just don’t care of there’s an error or what.

I attended a very rural school district and in 7th grade a bunch of retired people got their friends to elect them to the school board and at their first meeting they closed my school.
But hey, it’s OK. They’re all dead now.

- Comment on xkcd #3174: Bridge Clearance 1 week ago:
You’re onto the right answer. At some point:
-
the middle of the lory would be the center of gravity of the lory, and no longer have any grip on the road. Making it a space lory with the lower parts dragging in the atmosphere.
-
the top of the lory would be so tall that if it was driving, the change in angle of a fraction of a degree would make the top of the lory travel faster than light to keep up. This might happen sooner than running into other stars. If the lorry is 1 light year tall and goes over bump that changes its angle by only 1 degree, the top of the lory would move 1.6 x 10^11^km within a few seconds. So the lory might sheer apart, or would sway like a skyscraper in wind with each molecule moving at the speed of light all over the place as the truck bumps around on a road where even minute variations would make the top move wildly.

- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 2 weeks ago:
Fun fact: A zip code, gender, and a DOB is enough to have an 85% chance of it being you. It’s a very well-studied area. You are de-anonymized with very little data exposed, all of which Google includes in ad auctions.

Your data is exfiltrated and sold for ads. You don’t even need to buy an ad, bidders on ads can see your data
- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 2 weeks ago:
Y’all do realize that Gmail has been reading your emails and attachments from the start, right?
Someone please explain why doing that for ads isn’t terrible, but how this crosses the line?
The reasons not to trust Google are as old and numerous as the trees.
