- Comment on If you found out your cousin was a billionaire (non-famous) and the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, how would you react? Would you be mad he didn’t tell you? 4 days ago:
Well this actually happened so I would say mildly surprised. He’s a distant cousin though so maybe it would have been a bigger surprise if it was a first cousin. He married an heiress.

This keeps happening my house anyway while I sleep. Glad to hear it’s good for my skin.
- Comment on Sitting in traffic 5 days ago:
What an insane mentality. Barring some pretty specific circumstances I fail to see how anyone would be forced to endure 2 hr commutes.

It’s extremely unlikely unless you’re doing extreme things like running a marathon or forcing yourself to drink way beyond how thirsty you feel.

Anyone know if these would be subject to FOIA?
- Comment on toxic chad 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t say definitively that every mushroom is safe to chew and spit out. There could be some toxins you’d absorb through the membranes of the mouth. I don’t know of any but there are a lot of species of fungus. Maybe fire coral mushroom?
There is also Gyromitra which can be rendered mostly edible by boiling… however, the toxin is volatile and can be inhaled by the cook causing poisoning through a fairly unique mechanism.

I have no idea where you got this idea but it’s wrong.

Are you perhaps thinking of kissing bugs???
- Comment on What differentiates Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and PieFed? 2 weeks ago:
Has the hard-coded censorship been removed from PieFed? I thought that was a really weird and concerning choice to include.
Say what you want about Lemmy devs (and I could say a lot) but they don’t seem to have made any major efforts to enforce their views within the platform itself. Just on their servers.

Oops I meant clockwise.
- Comment on 🍌 GET YER NFTS HERE 🍎 2 weeks ago:
So what are they? My best guesses counterclockwise from the top:
- ???
- Yangmei/Chinese bayberry
- Apple? But with pink flesh for some reason
- peach? But color is strange
- chocolate pudding fruit maybe? Or another Diospyros species, there are so many.

- Comment on Are users data protected on the fediverse? 3 weeks ago:
Unfortunately I think it must be assumed in this day and age that any content posted online publicly may be stored indefinitely, on any platform. Even if you delete it, there are bots scraping all your comments, and you won’t be able to delete from those databases. So I’m not sure how much utility this feature would have today.
- Comment on Introducing Habitat - A Social Platform for Local Communities 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I think it’s way beyond what I would know how to do… I’ve also got some pretty crazy things happening in my life right now so I’m not looking to take on any big projects at this time. Maybe when things are back to normal.
Or I’ll ask around and see if anyone else is interested in doing it.
- Comment on Introducing Habitat - A Social Platform for Local Communities 3 weeks ago:
Wow great comment. But I’d have to figure out who is going to host a local server first. I’m not super tech savvy personally, especially compared to Lemmings.
- Comment on Introducing Habitat - A Social Platform for Local Communities 3 weeks ago:
Oh wow this would be huge. The local sub is the main thing that keeps me coming back to Reddit.
However, it probably will take some local organizing to get it to fire in each area. Getting a critical mass for these is tough by just having randomly distributed global internet users join. Even with thousands of users, the California community on Lemmy is way less active than the sub for my city on Reddit.
- Comment on Humans Have a Third Set of Teeth. New Medicine May Help Them Grow. 3 weeks ago:
Well, I had this issue from drinking too much orange juice. I did drink it often but not an extreme amount I’d say. But even lower levels of acidity can cause your teeth to weaken over time.
- Comment on Humans Have a Third Set of Teeth. New Medicine May Help Them Grow. 3 weeks ago:
The quality of the food only matters because our bodies can’t handle it. If we could improve our teeth (and other body parts) to be more resilient and adapted to available food resources then it wouldn’t be considered poor quality anymore.
- Comment on Humans Have a Third Set of Teeth. New Medicine May Help Them Grow. 3 weeks ago:
Acidic food can dissolve your teeth. I’m aware of the involvement of bacteria but I didn’t want to go into too much detail for this one-liner. The point is our teeth are very poorly designed to stay intact in the face of the dietary environment they are used for.
- Comment on Humans Have a Third Set of Teeth. New Medicine May Help Them Grow. 3 weeks ago:
When do we get teeth that aren’t made of a substance that our food literally dissolves? Seems like a major design flaw.
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 3 weeks ago:
The courts usually give an obscene amount of deference to the police. In a high profile case like this it’s possible they’ll be slightly more by the book… but usually they wrote the book to allow police to “reasonably” violate our constitutional rights, so that only goes so far.
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s my concern. The courts and the police are besties and they usually have each other’s backs unless something happens that’s so blatantly criminal that they can’t find a way to excuse it. Imperfect custody of evidence doesn’t sound that way to me, but I’m no expert.
The good news for Luigi is his case has a lot of public scrutiny, which can force the courts to behave a bit better in some cases.
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 3 weeks ago:
You’re saying the backpack was ruled inadmissible? If so that is certainly a big deal, maybe bigger than possible jury nullification.
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 3 weeks ago:
Ah well I haven’t followed all those details. Prosecutorial incompetence is always a possibility.
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 3 weeks ago:
Right, and I think we are seeing increasing cases of jury nullification, especially for civil disobedience against ICE. However, the reality is that Lemmy is a bubble. Luigi and his alleged murder are nowhere near as popular among the greater population as he is here. So that’s why I think the chance of a hung jury is higher than nullification. Hung jury can happen if there is just one or a few people who refuse to convict. But jury nullification requires unanimity. There’s bound to be at least a few law & order boomer types on the jury. But only time will tell.
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 3 weeks ago:
Not guilty seems very unlikely based on the publicly available evidence. I could see a hung jury happening though, as there are a minority of people who strongly want him to go free.
- Comment on YSK: 'It turned out to be a tougher one': Trump says he was wrong about ending war in Ukraine 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think even that would work. He could certainly hamper the war effort but the US isn’t the only ally Ukraine has. I don’t think they would capitulate unless there was major movement on the front line and a total defeat seemed possible.
- Comment on YSK: 'It turned out to be a tougher one': Trump says he was wrong about ending war in Ukraine 4 weeks ago:
Why would they fold though? This idea that Ukraine was merely a puppet that would concede to literally any demands from the US was always ridiculous.
