we do have a solution, it’s called treating people like people and telling them to fuck off when they misbehave, and if moderators don’t stop misbehaving then you move.
i feel like every time people complain about things being bad and oh so difficult to solve there’s a blitheringly obvious social solution that has been used for millions of years that is for some reason being ignored

there is a decentralized reddit clone, it’s called lemmy lmao
being decentralized doesn’t mean you have no moderation

there is one extremely important thing to teach: pull the skin taut
so long as the skin is taut you’re way way less likely to cut yourself

holy shit the usb-to-AC cable is real
- Comment on Is it weird to show your son how to shave his pubes if he asked? 21 hours ago:
people are expected to teach their kids to wash under the foreskin, and some people apparently think it’s just dandy to perform genital mutilation on their children, so no teaching them to shave doesn’t register on the weirdness scale.

there’s still a lot of people who live in a place with a yard, and if most of them come together to require the ability to keep chickens there then it’ll be untenable for that permission to be denied by HOAs/landlords/local government

- Comment on Are some people just unable to become fluent in a foreign language? 2 days ago:
that’s moving the goalposts, the previous poster claims that you simply cannot tell the difference between sounds that don’t exist in your native language, which is fucking obviously false and they should be ashamed of posting something like that
- Comment on Are some people just unable to become fluent in a foreign language? 2 days ago:
i have no clue where the fuck people get this idea, it’s clearly nonsense since people pick up accents just from living in a different country for a year or two
- Comment on Are some people just unable to become fluent in a foreign language? 2 days ago:
i’ve never understood this, i’m slightly older than 9 months and i’ve been perfectly able to pick up new sounds, and people learn new languages all the time…

are you being intentionally obtuse? yes obviously we don’t have androids that can do ALL the work for us, but we have robots that can do a hell of a lot of work for us, and especially the laborious and monotonous work.
- Comment on Take a deep breath and think about it 2 days ago:
absolutely not, the best shitposts are genuine works of art and take tons of effort
- Comment on Self starter 2 days ago:
what are you on about? ever look at a modern factory? they’re filled with robots that do enough work to replace 10 people.
obviously under capitalism this work just goes into making rich people richer, which is why we need to get rid of capitalism so these fancy robots we’ve built can actually let us live chill lives with minimal required human labour.

i feel like flying is something you either do fairly regularly, or you haven’t even considered setting foot on a plane for 10 years.

what has helped me is just pivoting heavily to chicken, i used to basically just eat beef and pork, so simply eating a different kind of meat helped ease into eating non-meat meals as well.
meat alternatives are of course great, but i also think soybeans (or similar) are very underrated, just raw green soybeans are astoundingly meat-like for being a straight up unprocessed vegetable. Great in salads.

there are definitely places (hello) where anything more fancy than potatoes and peas costs more than (cheap) meat, looking at the veggie and fruit section of a swedish grocery store is depressing
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 2 days ago:
health-wise it’s red meat but culinarily it’s white meat

PSA: they have another app that is way way more useful for non-nerds who just want to learn about plants and have some fun.

because this is per kilogram, not per serving. you don’t eat a kilogram of chocolate in a day

People on lemmy will really be like ‘you believe in individual action? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing an oil rig’ and then not firebomb an oil rig.

coffee and chocolate can also be had fairtrade, which helps ease the conscience
pro tip: lidl (in sweden at least) sells remarkably cheap fairtrade chocolate

there are remarkably acceptable vegan cheeses these days, i’ve tried one from i think it was Valio or Oddlygood (which might be the same fucking company anyways iirc) and it’s just slightly weird starchy cheese that melts in a strange way.

you get a lot of cups from one kg of coffee

some countries have terrifying food safety standards

to some degree maybe, but even a doubling for most of these things still puts them way way way below the emissions of beef.
but things like beans are trivial to grow on a small local scale, if you can get your food from local farmers that aren’t using 500 tractors and tons of artificial fertilizer then it’s hard to even theoretically do better.
