Is sleep hygiene important in your life? For example, you watch youtube videos close to bedtime?

It is absolutely soul crushing. Here, have some flowers to cheer you up. 💐

May take a while, but you’ll be ok eventually.

But he did create lots of entertainment as a byproduct of all of this. In this regard, Trump is his worst competitor.

It’s “>2000mg/kg”

To me, this says that they didn’t bother testing any doses higher than that. So, who knows how much you really need to ingest to see an effect. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That value also seems pretty reasonable, since who would replace the milk of their morning cereal with olive oil.

You know, in some countries boyfriends hold hands in the public.

Yeah, that’s very much an English thing. Many other languages use reasonably consistent spelling and pronunciation, so memorizing the handful of exceptions isn’t really a problem.

However, with English it’s the other way around. You need to memorize the handful of words that are actually pronounced the way they are written. Everything else is just pure chaos. If you read a word, you can’t pronounce it. If you hear a word, you can’t find it in a dictionary.

After all, there are fake doctors, so why not fake patients too? There’s also fake medicine, so all of it should work out perfectly.

No internal organs either! Looks like they were all scooped out, as if this dino was being prepared for mummification.

There’s also a clear fracture line in the chest. My guess is that’s where the chest pain was coming from.

Our perception of it is also highly distorted due to the bubble we live in. Chinese are living in a different kind of bubble where everyone can more or less understand each other, as long as they stick to the written form. The languages may be different, but they are written using the same system, which makes communication possible. Also, the Great Firewall of China keeps Chinese people inside that bubble and foreigners outside it.

I think it is also related to the economy as a whole. While the pandemic was dragging on and on, inflation got much higher and central banks responded by increasing the interest rates. As a result, investors no longer had access to infinite free money.

Turns out, there are lots of companies that relied on constant funding instead of actual revenue. Those companies are undergoing some major changes at the moment.

Really? I should totally give it a go some time. Sounds like the ideal life hack for me.

Had they done it with Xitter, the result would have been a total racist.

Congrats!

Remember those mobile games where you can watch ads to get some gold and diamonds or simply pay for them with real money? Well, I can imagine a dystopian future where that logic has been applied to everything.

Wanna press an elevator button? Pay with shopping center diamonds or watch this quick ad.

Wanna try on this shirt before buying it? Ads. Is this made of cotton? Ads.

Take the escalator to the next floor? Ads.

Wanna check the info screen to figure out where you can find a restaurant in this shopping center? Ads.

Wanna unlock different parts of the menu? Ads. Wanna see the prices too? Ads. Allergens? Ads again.

Need to go to the toilet? Ads. Want some toilet paper? More ads.

If you encounter this literally every 30 seconds, spending some money on those shopping center diamonds suddenly becomes a very appealing idea.

On the outside of the mall you see a punk looking guy with a Molotov cocktail in his hand. You feel a sudden urge to join in whatever he is up to.

Anyway, if you want some more suffering and sadness, simply dump the first lines to GPT and ask it to take this dystopia to its logical conclusion. It could get pretty wild.

LOL. Far in the unseen later, it is then.

This is the way.

Selection bias. There’s plenty of overlap between the groups of people who know about it, care about it, use FOSS, use Lemmy etc. It’s basically a prominent characteristic of the stereotypical Lemmy user. We’re still a small and surprisingly homogenous group of people. If Lemmy ever grows like Mastodon, you’ll begin to see more diversity.

There’s also something you could call the “fish out of water” bias. If you’re not LGBT, you’ll suddenly notice how many LGBT people there are on Mastodon. If you’re not into ML, you’re going to notice the people who are.

It should be called the WISHFUL list. It stands for “Wildly Improbable Scenarios Happening Unbelievably Far in the Unseen Later”.

So, you mean music composed before 1800? Bach and Mozart should be fine, whereas Beethoven is way too modern.

Now I’m really curious. How do you read those comments?
