I think she has the earing on, they’re just small studs and it’s hidden by her hair in that panel.

But who knows, maybe she was taking one out? Maybe because she doesn’t want to wear too many accessories to dinner?

3. Putting in an earing?

Was there a specific event that coincided with the blackout? I don’t know the details of current US events, just that they’re crazy and depressing.

I don’t drink them that often so I’m not sure I’d necessarily notice, but I strongly prefer Pepsi. And I have repeatedly been a bit meh about about a cola I’ve been served and discovered it was Coke.

They do look a lot more like pigs once they’re de-furred.

Yeah, I think the “simulation hypothesis” is a super pointless take, partly because it is so profoundly unfalsifiable. It’s no more plausible or convincing to me than “the universe exists in God’s mind” or “we are figment within a dream of a dragon”.

Propenents try to argue things like “if we can create lifelike simulations, then we’d create loads of them, therefore we’re statistically likely to be inside one”. But that’s to draw conclusions about what the “outer” universe is like from features of the simulation. If our reality is within a greater one, I don’t find more evidence for it being a “computer simulation” than for it being inside Tommy Westphall’s snow globe.

Depressing. ai bots flooding my feed today, check the post history

Would totally grab one of those if they were on sale. Would love to play Ultima V on that keyboard.

Good advice. Done.

Sometimes, a hard stare is the only appropriate response

Read the manga anyway, Gas Turbines are lit

Totally. The smell is awful, ive always associated it with smell of an ripe bag of garbage. I don’t know if it’s because bananas just smell bad, or because the smell of old banana peel in the trash is the scent that I notice the most, but it’s not a good association.

The taste. I’ve tried to like them. Had them in smoothies and banana bread, had the is savoury and sweet things. I even made myself eat one everyday while hiking cross country, thinking I’d learn to associate the taste which much needed energy. Nothing worked, they just taste like garbage smells. And the texture! Firm and soft each have their unique horrors.

Ah! Thank you! Not a figure I’m familiar with, but I’ve heard the name on lemmy a few times.

Is it too early or am I just dumb? They’re planning on breaking into a bank, one of the gang is a jug of liquid, with ice… It’s a funny in a surreal sense, but I feel like I’m missing something. Ris?

Can I someone who’s read it expand on “palingenetic ultranationalism” for those who lack the time and/or motivation to read a chapter of a book?

Edit: doh

I guess it’s a vibe…

Is this some reference I’m missing? Or just a weird misogynistic drawing? Ngl, kinda off putting…

Here’s a paper that summarises the issue. Perhaps “animal products contain cholesterol” feels new to you but obvious to other people is a generational thing. From the 1960s onwards there was a big push to stop people eating butter, eggs and meat because they contained cholesterol, and high cholesterol in your blood was a bad thing in people.

But by the 1990s the evidence was piling up that there wasn’t a direct link between cholesterol in food and harmful cholesterol in your blood. In fact there are important ‘good’ cholesterol that reduce heart disease risks. And the recommendations to avoid cholesterol and fats in general have been responsible for lots of poor advice and health outcomes, as people replaced natural animal based fats like butter, not with healthy olive oil, but problematic processed fats like margarine and vegetable oil. Or ate low fat food that was high in sugar, which can raise harmful blood cholesterol.

I think he’s just trying to prove your point about the number of autists on lemmy…
