  I think democrats would, for the most part, perhaps less enthusiastically, but since they hate Trump, I think it would not be a major issue.

  The question is, how would low-information unaffiliated voters respond to having a socialist in the ballot? This is a difficult question to answer. Traditionally socialism is a bad word in US politics, albeit less so with younger voters.

  Personally I don’t really buy the “Bernie would have won” stuff but there’s really only one way to find out.

  Is the dilemma that I can’t take the tram to my foraging grounds? If so I agree that is a problem.

  A friend is getting married there next year. I’ll have to keep an eye out so I can try them.

  If you want to post another one tomorrow you are welcome to do so on !treehuggers@slrpnk.net. Maybe we can make this a thing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know Nut November⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow I’m impressed. I consider myself a bit of a nut expert but I have never heard of this one. You really know your stuff.

  Or you used computer vision and know nothing.

  Fuck.

  Who would win? The world’s greatest collection of polling experts, political analysts, and election modelers, or one copper boi?

  Oh my god it’s a whole paper. Amazing.

  I’m not sure how she planned to secrete eggs on Chad but maybe menstruation is as close as humans can get.

  I noticed in the references that Chad is also published! I wonder if that’s a real paper too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would he still love me as a worm?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I really want to know which worm sexual behaviors the author tested on Chad.

  It’s just difficult to carefully follow bio security protocols while importing millions of tons of shit all the time. Especially while racing to the bottom in terms of time and money spent on that process.

  No way to avoid it other than stricter controls on imports and a more local economy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kill it with fire!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Certainly more nutritious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you need some hairy male nipples to show off then let me know, I’ll contribute to the cause 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe a cultural or regional thing? Or is it related to a hobby or something? I can’t think of a single time I’ve heard this phrase in normal conversation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s a bit different. Female at least refers to a real biological trait (or at least collection of traits). As a scientist I use the word female in my work all of the time, and frankly I’m not sure what alternatives to it even exist.

  Bloodline is like… weird racist antiquated European ideas about ancestry that are more or less completely unscientific and wrong. I don’t think I’ve ever once heard it used in a scientific context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who is actually using this term? I’ve only heard it in like medieval period fiction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was wondering but I guess I don’t understand why say it that way instead of the other way around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why ban male nipples? Fuck that all nipples should be allowed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learning Botany⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it asparagus if it’s not in the genus Asparagus?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be a rebel, pick up trash.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And most importantly, work to disassemble the systems that normalize and support the production of the wasteful and toxic materials we now call trash.

  Don’t most sub-atomic particles have the same charge and mass?

  I keep hoping de-extinction becomes a thing but it’s taking a long time.

  We can call ourselves the Horticultural Organization for the Reviewing of Names Yearly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teehee⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With how much squabbling and splitting and recombining and all this nonsense with Latin names lately, sometimes the common names are just more practical to use.

  I’ve started wishing there was a common name authority like with birds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True but people also use this as an excuse to dismiss any research they disagree with which is idiotic.

  Most research is legit. It just might not be interpreted correctly, or it might not be the whole picture. But it shouldn’t be ignored because you don’t like it.

  People are especially prone to this with Econ research in my experience.

  Someone call the mods!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why solar will soon dominate & what that means for the world⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve wondered about this too but it depends on how the utilities choose to structure pricing. Traditionally, negative energy prices have mainly existed in the wholesale market, not for individual energy consumers. But if that situation becomes more common, there may be incentives to adjust pricing structures.

  That said, it utilities stand in the way and solar becomes cheap enough, it might start to make sense for energy-hungry customers who have the space to just build out their own system on site.

  I am really hoping this can be a game changer for desalination because water shortages are already a major issue in arid places and those problems are not getting better any time soon.
