how would a cave form on the moon? impacts just leave craters right? And there’s no water that could move stuff around, and no tectonic activity

That’s why I added the word “vanilla”
- Comment on Let delivery drivers keep their 1 week ago:
I agree except for the heteronormative part. What does the confusion of these terms have to do with heteronormativity?
- Comment on Let delivery drivers keep their 1 week ago:
Hi! Peter here to explain the mene. Since all the other answers are wrong, here’s the actual answer:
Top means the person who penetrates the other (the bottom). The term originates from gay sex, since there it can be very important who is penetrating who. But it can also be applied to other sex (not just homosexual cis men). In the meme above, the implication would be that l Lois uses a strap-on or other kind of dildo to penetrate the delivery driver.
Top often, but not always goes hand-in-hand with domination (dom/sub). Hence the dominatrix-like outfit Lois is putting on.
- Comment on Let delivery drivers keep their 1 week ago:
That is dom. Top means to penetrate the other
- Comment on Let delivery drivers keep their 1 week ago:
For vanilla cis hetero sex it doesn’t apply since the man is always the top and the woman is always the bottom.
- Comment on Let delivery drivers keep their 1 week ago:
top means the one who penetrates the other. What you’re describing is a dom

It kind of is, if the world were flat it wouldn’t look much different I reckon, except when you’re in exceptionally flat places like oceans or large lakes. And even then, due to clouds, fog, dust, smog and atmospheric scattering, things far away are harder to see
- Comment on Checkmate, Round Earthers 🌍 1 week ago:
I think unless you are up very high, most tall distant things are covered by buildings and mountains.
If you are in, say, the eastern part of cairo, you might be only 20km from the pyramids of giza. However if there was a normal sized house even just 1km away in the same direction, it would be big enough to cover the pyramids entirely.
Then there is also mountain ranges. Even if you were on top of the Burj Khalifa with a really good telescope, multiple mountains would block your view. You would need to be multiple Burj Khalifa’s higher up in the air to see the pyramids of Giza from there.
And then there’s clouds, fog, dust, smog and last but not least atmospheric scattering of light, obscuring things more and more the further away they are.

Yep, if I’m not mistaken, your version has s = 4 + sqrt(2) which is approximately 4.70710678119. Very close to the ideal!

- Comment on We gonna fight 1 month ago:
I don’t hate most leftists (or even non-leftists for that matter). I hate the kind that hate other leftists. The lemmy.ml tankies always complain that people who disagree with them are splitting the left, when they’re the ones calling everybody who vaguely disagrees with them a liberal. Not purely an ML thing though, there’s plenty of this kind of person in all camps.
- Comment on Have you tried going outside though 1 month ago:
I know everybody is different but I don’t understand how anybody thinks calm tasks will cure anxiety, because that has never worked for me.
For me exercise is the only thing that helps, but it almost always works.
- Comment on ML logic is "respecting" other communists by constantly asserting they aren't communists 1 month ago:
left unity: People with different opinions working together and listening to each other
tankies “left unity”: Everybody has the same opinion so we don’t need to argue. Anybody who does is a lib

no no they don’t deny the existence of anarchists. They deny that anybody who doesn’t like Stalin could be anything but a “westoid liberal fascist”

What exactly is Bonfire? They themselves just call it “social networking” which is so vague. Is it microblogging?

Hm I see your point now, thanks for explaining.
I still think it’s their prerogative to use the instance they prefer for discussing development since they’re the ones doing it, and that’s the instance they host themselves.
Also wondering, where is lemmy.ml advertised as a flagship instance? join-lemmy.org doesn’t seem to be partial to it.
- Comment on I don't even have a PieFed account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 month ago:
I really hate tankies, but I also know that maintaining an open source project is incredibly difficult work, and they’ve done a fantastic job. Without them there would be no Lemmy.
I do business with people I disagree with politically every day. Donating to Lemmy development is no different IMO. After all, they decided to build a decentralized platform that lets us make our own communities.
