I see a trilobite and an ammonite in there, did those guys even leave any evolved descendants before they went extinct?

Lemmy meme. One of the first lemmy-specific ones that I know of. Someone made an post on an asklemmy community asking for advice on how to avoid shitting for three days, and somehow the “lemmy three day challenge” became a widespread meme on the lemmy network for awhile. Then after that it was memes about beans, and briefly ones about beef stroganoff for some reason.

Funny coincidence, to mention shitholes on a lemmy post that says we only have “3 days”.

Tom Scott has a pretty entertaining trivia podcast, he doesn’t appear to be insane?

Aren’t the tops edible too? I wonder how the little shriveled bean thing on the end became internationally popular but the juicy looking fruit on top isn’t. Like, every cashew harvested has to have the fruity part too, what do they all get used for?

I would want to see an “ediacaran biota” park, though that one would have to be more like a public aquarium than a park I suppose.

- Comment on In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen 1 week ago:
Like, just a fan, or like a combo microwave and convection oven? Because the latter is something I sometimes wonder if would be a good idea.
- Comment on I wonder how many people throughout history have confused Floaters with ghosts, UFOs, or other paranormal phenomena 2 weeks ago:
If someone throws a hat in the air, you take a picture of it before it lands, and you don’t know what it is you’ve seen and photographed, technically you have taken a photo of a UFO.
- Comment on A fair punishment for the obscene hoarding of wealth 2 weeks ago:
Im no religious person, but given this afterlife punishment has an end to it (once he finally finishes working all those hours), wouldn’t this be more a purgatory than a hell?
- Comment on Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't. 2 weeks ago:
Climate change is an ongoing process that takes decades to centuries. That’s very fast as far as evolution and natural climactic shifts are concerned, but on a human scale long term. Given that it’s not stopping within the lifespan of one person, and contributes to virtually every health problem in subtle ways, it’d seem a bit difficult to say if a given person has “survived it” or not, even if they live to an old age.

Isn’t that the point of tests? Do something at a more limited scale to see what the results of that are?
- Comment on Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io 2 weeks ago:
Probably because they didnt go throught the government, which takes a long time to move on anything, and just put pressure on some profit seeking corporations that just want to get a bother to go away, but which also unfortunately have been put in a position of practical power equal to some types of legislation.
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 3 weeks ago:
I think the reasoning is something like this: these companies employ such call center employees for a reason, either they legally have to for one reason or another or they’ve determined that in some way, it is more profitable to have the capacity for people to call them than not. If the call centers are swamped, then they still cost the company money, but their benefit to the company is reduced, because the “real” calls can’t get through in a timely fashion. As such, it’s in the company’s interest to avoid having people spam them, and if the policy those people want changed won’t really cost the company anything to change, then just doing that might be the most profitable option for them.

Its a little funny how many conservatives out there will hate on furries and then unironically make memes calling themselves “lions” or “wolves”.
- Comment on well? 3 weeks ago:
Why would the universe being a black hole invalidate religion, any more than, for example, the universe being really big already does? Don’t most religions focus more on some entity or entities they think made or govern the universe more than what physical processes are “used” to do that, or what the ultimate shape of the universe is? Even when a contradiction is found, it’s easy enough for a religion to just say “well, that was metaphorical”, or “just the limited understanding given by (insert deity here) to our ancestors” or something along those lines to make it fit.

The one person I’ve met IRL to have a Wikipedia page (as far as I know anyway) got one from writing books and arguing with people (as in like formal debate type ones), so maybe becoming an author? It’s not exactly easy but it’s not unattainable for the typical person either I wouldn’t think.

- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 4 weeks ago:
It was more like hyperbole on my part, I was using as a catch all for whatever kinds of things a business could abuse it’s position by doing. I didn’t want to just say “be able to do businesses or not do business with whoever they want”, because I wanted to say something more broad than just applying to payment processors, even if choosing not to do business with someone and thereby shutting them out of much of the economy is the way a payment processor would do this .
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think that businesses, not being individuals, should actually have the same rights as individuals I guess. I don’t really agree with the idea that a corporation should be able to do whatever it likes by default, simply because I think corporations in general have too much power to be trusted with such.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 4 weeks ago:
I mean, when your service is fundamental enough to the economy, and centralized enough to make just going to an alternative a major hassle, if an alternative without a similar policy even exists, then why should they get that say? The power to effectively ban the sale of certain types of thing, or force media platforms to censor certain types of content, is the sort of power we generally reserve for governments, not private entities that can do whatever they want. Honestly they’re important enough these days that they should basically be treated like some sort of public utility in my view.

No? Im saying those factors should be understandable, they just need to do the relevant testing to figure it out before building something the public could visit. Hence mentioning due diligence.

Between the pink color, two arms and rounded face, I guess it does kinda look like one of human-descended “All Tomorrows” creatures.
