The leopards may be eating my face but they have a plan! They have to eat my face so no one suspects the turnaround!
- Comment on Wind/solar motorcycle [with 50 km solar/wind range] looks like an April Fools' joke ... but it's legit 1 day ago:
you can actually gain energy while moving upwind, it’s counterintuitive but the existence of tacking in sailing (doing a zig-zag upwind) makes it a bit easier to internalize for me.
- Comment on Wind/solar motorcycle [with 50 km solar/wind range] looks like an April Fools' joke ... but it's legit 1 day ago:
you can gain energy while moving upwind, it makes more sense if you think about how boats can do a zig-zag to sail upwind (tacking).
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 2 days ago:
i was about to write an actual response but honestly, it’s entirely likely “you” aren’t even even a real person so i’m just going to tell anyone reading this to eat more fibre for better gut health.

this is absolutely wild behaviour for someone on slrpnk.net

this is well within the territory where you shouldn’t feel bad about pulling out all the stops and making a personal emotional appeal, outright beg her not to go, tell her you’re terrified of losing your mom
- Comment on More than 1m cars sold in UK each year too big to fit typical parking space 3 days ago:
my neighbours have 8 kids and their minibus is smaller than many of these trucks.
- Comment on Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban 1 week ago:
yeah, decoration/recreation (or do you want to ban the bow and arrow too? maybe ban boxing gloves?)/historical preservation
banning swords is absurd, if anything you want miscreants to use swords because they’re fucking massive and obvious, you can’t conceal a katana.
meanwhile if someone wants to kill and not make that fact visible, they can just… keep a screwdriver in their pocket and stab someone, and you’re never going to ban screwdrivers.
- Comment on Disabled man dies in poverty and squalor after DWP removes his benefits, just as Labour cuts PIP by £4.5bn 1 week ago:
i don’t understand why admin workers are so consistently horrible, you’re literally just dealing with documents and you can’t be arsed to just err on the side of caution to save lives? come on
- Comment on Mother 2 weeks ago:
eeeh our whole evolutionary niche is to be so social that we’ll form bonds with a literal rock, i can’t see the vast vast vast majority of mentally healthy humans managing to do it, more likely they’d try to gently throw the child away from the danger and sacrifice themselves.

- Comment on DOGE deletes its 'wall of receipts' after massive errors pointed out 5 weeks ago:
I kinda think we should all just start making serious posts about “conservatism”, as in “let’s bring back the railroads and ban cars, like the good old days!”
- Comment on SNP MP calls for Trump state visit to be scrapped 5 weeks ago:
i for one support putting them both in a locked room for a week
- Comment on put that in your pipe and smoke it 5 weeks ago:
- Comment on Barn-shaped home produces almost twice as much energy as it needs 5 weeks ago:
i feel like even if it’s a “remodel” that’s a very ship of theseus situation, barns are basically just 4 walls and a roof to begin with so by the time you’ve added the things necessary to make it a living space the whole thing is 90% new anyways.
- Comment on nets 5 weeks ago:
a lot of single-use items come from fast food places, which people will eat in their cars and then just throw out the window as they drive along.
it’s a fucking sad practice but it’s really hard to get people to stop doing it, so the next best option is just to make sure as much as possible of the things you get from fast food joints will dissolve in a rain shower.
- Comment on put that in your pipe and smoke it 5 weeks ago:
the only difference is that non-nerds would likely include a sentence about how it’s the only cure for gout or something, for extra clicks
- Comment on Chat, is this true? 5 weeks ago:
this is somehow harder to pronounce
- Comment on Dogs may have domesticated themselves because they really liked snacks, model suggests 5 weeks ago:
Also petting them, we just want to pet anything especially if it’s somewhat fluffy and soft, even if that’s really not a good idea (and i don’t mean “haha i wanna pet the crocodile” i mean petting parrots, which is a sex thing for them and makes them VERY confused and frustratedly horny)
- Comment on Meow 5 weeks ago:
so like, you seriously look at stuff like this and don’t see the appeal? A small adorable fuzzball that obviously loves you, that doesn’t make you feel happy?
- Comment on Meow 5 weeks ago:
it’s literally just that cats figure out that making noise draws our attention, and even better if they make a cute noise.
- Comment on Meow 5 weeks ago:
am i gregnant?
- Comment on Meow 5 weeks ago:
i stick to the adage that dogs are extroverts and cats are introverts, dogs just inherently love you but they can also get kind of exhausting, while cats require you to earn their trust and will in turn show their affection by curiously always being in the same room as you…
- Comment on Meow 5 weeks ago:
especially if it rolls onto its back and paddles its legs about adorably to beg for tummy rubs

how would the parasites survive the garum making process? like that shit is saturated with salt and left in a jar for months!
- Comment on Study finds bullies have more children than non-bullies 5 weeks ago:
calling this evopsych is like calling freud the father of psychology
this is just them saying something that they like the sound of, humans are fundamentally an extremely social species and there are way more things that go into passing on our genes than just having kids; being celibate and just raising the kids of your siblings is more efficient at spreading your genes.

uhhh, condiment mustard is made of mustard seed, not sure how you imagined it working otherwise?
and seeds are kinda by definition starchy, they need starch to store energy for the plant to sprout through the soil.
