bro you basically have to pinch a bee to get it to sting you, they’re the insect equivalent of sheep.

- Comment on Why? 3 days ago:
this is true for the star trek transporters specifically since they’re used for all kinds of absolute nonsense, but the easy solution to this is simply having a designated volume that is transported and making VERY certain that nothing important crosses the line.

i feel like being objectively better than your body is a pretty fundamental requirement for transhumanism, like generally what’s shown as the ideal transhumanist body is a nanomachine swarm that can just make precisely whatever you want at any moment, you can be ostensibly human one moment and then turn into a fucking jet plane and go to the other side of the world and become human again to traipse through the jungles.

also like 30 minutes is a fucking chunky saving, usually with public transport you’re talking saving like 3 minutes! 30 minutes can very well be what makes services usable for way more people, getting them to switch from car to train.

i want to live in a world where all insects ended up fluffy like these moths and bumblebees are.

but also evolution can be fucking horrifying: barnacles are crustaceans, slice them in half and you see a twisted gross crablike thing inside the shell.

this is why electric locks should NOT be relied on for safety: electric locks MUST default open when something goes wrong, which means that picking them is as easy as making them malfunction or cutting the power.

i mean looking at how all animals behave, in the absence of anything resembling their natural habitat they’d probably hear a fan running and feel it’s close enough to running water.
- Comment on Shorebirbs 1 week ago:
really all it should take is just the word “seahorse”, most people have at some point heard about how the males carry the children there. Can’t really dismiss that.

i like how yahtzee used “[youtube]” cut over in a deadpan voice when he was still with the escapist, make it obvious that you’re having to censor yourself and call out the platform for forcing it.

“It was described in 2021 by Antoine Fouquet”
oh man my mind immediately turned that into a scene from Keeping Up Appearances…“Hello mr. Fucket!”

Same, though i don’t even consider them imperfections since that implies it’s in any way negative.
It’s more like how a perfectly uniform naan bread is just boring and kind of unappealing, you want the bubbles and charring for flavour and visual appeal.
- Comment on Jewel Beetles 1 week ago:
it’s baffling because personally i could rant about how pretty most women are for hours on end, and if desired i can extend that to a lot of guys as well and i’m not even that into dudes.
- Comment on Jewel Beetles 1 week ago:
i feel this about most famous women who are said to be soooo attractive, like yeah sure angelina jolie isn’t ugly but come on how is she more attractive than a normal person? Same goes for bodybuilder guys, it’s so patently fake and harmful to their bodies!
at least the male hollywood standard can be somewhat sensible, george clooney looks like a real human person even if he’s the equivalent of a freshly groomed schnauzer.
but really, the most attractive people i’ve seen are just normal people on the street, and that’s without counting the fact that you can actually feasibly get into a relationship with them and they might actually be pleasant to be around.

i have distinct memories of one of my early teachers having read a book to the class about a kid who peed themselves because they weren’t allowed to go to the bathroom, and from that day on we always had that one comfort in her classes: you’re always free to go to the bathroom, no need to ask (just inform that you’re heading to the toilet).
