Heartbeat bills don’t actually cover a heartbeat. They cover electrical signals that are not a heartbeat, but they can be detected much earlier.

An actual heart beat can be detected around 17 to 20 weeks. Heart beat bills kick in at 6 weeks when there is no heart yet. It’s not even a fetus until 8 weeks. You have to deny all the science to pass these laws.

If we’re being technical, there’s no legal right to no taxation without representation either.

But the current status is not representation either.

Totally. Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be, the successful result of the adaptation was that birds spread their seeds instead of mammals. Until us.

Still a good joke as we’re mammals, but peppers’s spice is so that birds, and not mammals, eat their seeds and poop them out far away as birds aren’t bothered by capsaicin.

At what cost to society?

Would be possible to run your own instance from within the app you use to browse? In other words, is there a reason for a personal Lemmy instance, with only me as a user and no communities, to run even when I’m not using it to interact with other communities?
