There’s also a Hypothesis iirc that this rapid expansion also lowered our life span. Longevity Bottleneck Hypothesis though I think this one includes dinosaurs hunting mammals, and maybe Disposable Soma Theory.
Huh, the second one could probably be used to explain elves in fantasy: long life, low reproduction rate.
Personally, these are the reasons I try to stick with just stuff people post of themselves because they like to. That generally means i only see pics and short videos, but that’s all fine to me.
Some may be advertising their only fans, so there’s some minor guilt like only taking free samples, but still feels better than worrying about the industry in general.
Joke is flying over my head. Which age group shits poorly?
It’s more a comment on the current American interpretation of Jesus, especially those on billboards etc. There’s no real abortion hatred in the Bible either; people usually just use the scripture about god knowing them in the womb, despite a supposed abortion remedy being in the Bible, or Exodus 21:22-24 where the baby dying is only a fine but any damage to the pregnant woman is repaid in kind (eye for eye, tooth for tooth, death for death).
I will not be singing that out loud, even if it doee remind me of beep beep I’m a sheep.
Hmm, the only time I learned about false cognates was when learning high school Spanish, so I assumed it meant two words that sound similar in different languages but have different meanings, rather than homonyms in the same language.
Example: embarrassed and embarazado
Looking the above example up for spelling, I see it’s called a false friend, and perhaps I misunderstood false cognate (from here https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary#false_cognate ) :
false cognate
A word in a language that bears a phonetic and semantic resemblance to a word in another or the same language but is not etymologically related to it and thus not a true cognate. Examples include English day/Portuguese dia, German Feuer/French feu (both meaning “fire”), Malay dua/Sanskrit द्व (dva) (both meaning “two”), and English dog/Mbabaram dog. Compare false friend.
false friend
A word in a language that bears a phonetic resemblance to a word in another language, often because of a common etymology, but has a different meaning. Examples include English parent/Portuguese parente (“relative”) and English embarrassed/Spanish embarazada (“pregnant”). Compare false cognate.
Ok, I’ll say it. Dogs see blues and yellows, not grayscale. Colorblind is kind of a bad label, as it seems people assume it means all colors instead of blind to a few colors. Humans could be considered UV or infrared colorblind, but we’re never described that way.
Wait… I remember this from a webcomic… but can’t remember which…
Ex police officer arrested (though not prosecuted, still held for more than a month) because he quoted Trump after Charlie Kirk got involved with a projectile.

Dogs can also rip out throats, but the actual occurrences are rare. I think that’s what they’re saying. Deer definitely can do it too, which you said in another post is that your understanding is that Kangaroos are more violent. Which, are they? Or is that just your impression of a foreign animal you’ve only heard newsworthy stuff about as opposed to animals you regularly encounter in your home country?
I didn’t know my mom was on Lemmy…
Since I’m lactose intolerant and so is most of my family, cream usually isn’t used so I wouldn’t be aware if it sends a particularly pleasant smell.
Helium is one of those things I don’t really care about. I could tell you I never liked balloons because of their impact on the environment, and that would be true, especially with ones getting released into the air. However I also have a really selfish reason, and that was cleaning them up. I never really liked water balloons for the same reasons, and I’m so happy I haven’t been around much confetti.
Closer to $12 at current exchange, and a cursory search suggests some popular magazines are 1500yen per issue, so doesn’t actually seem that off.
Maxim 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more. No less.
Because for the sax image, naked is funnier.
At the moment biking, but i wouldn’t say that stops booboo. I’ve flipped over the bike twice, each time damaging a different wrist (first one was when bike was new and a part wasn’t as tight as it needed to be, so handlebars gave way braking down a hill. Second time anyway overly friendly dog leapt at me. As I lay on the ground it came over and licked me).
I generally still heal kinda well nowadays though, so first wrist is back to normal and second is like 90%, only pain when specific weight and angles are involved.
I want to get back into bouldering too, but that can also give injuries.
Well, he is a white kid in an affluent neighborhood (whole huge family affording vacation, large house), so he probably would have been treated better.
I hadn’t looked up what she looked like. Isn’t that Misa from Death Note, mentally ill homicidal stalker?
