Don’t forget that God populated the earth with multiple tribes of people, gave them all a different origin story, then told each of them that theirs was the only correct one and all others must be vanquished, resulting in a never-ending battle between the tribes and slaughtering millions in the process.

Truly a being of love and compassion. /s

Sounds like one of the driving forces of republicans, and conservatives in general: “We are corrupt, hypocritical, and just plain evil. You NEED us in charge of everything so we can protect you from people like us!”

It tells me that they are obviously evil because they don’t blindly support a white Christian authoritarian regime.

Plane on a treadmill always seems so obvious to me. Planes don’t have power connected to their wheels. Put a plane on a dynamometer and crank the engine up as fast as it will go, and the wheels will still not spin. At the same time, water planes use pontoons and are still able to take off just fine.

The question I have is, can a plane take off with a tailwind that matches the speed that the propeller is pushing out.

The working class is already revolting.

Ba-dum-tss

Oh my god!! Won’t somebody think of the profits?!!

Write a note on it and use that note to rob a bank. That’ll give you more time than killing someone.

We already had that in the US. Turns out, not as illegal as you might think.

Jesus Christ! And I thought the Uvalde police were bad!

Truly a truck for the do-it-yourselfer!

Seems like an awful lot of work when a can of expanding foam squirted in the right places will disable most anything mechanical and is much more difficult to remove.

And that moment lasted as long as the theoretical “now”.

(“Now” never happens because the moment your brain registers that “now” has happened, it’s already “then”)

Since when has not experiencing something, or even having any knowledge of something, prevented the internet from expressing their opinions about it?

That makes sense and works because it’s in an enclosed and private space. Fat day at the beach will quickly turn into a zoo exhibit for cruel people because the world is horrible.

I’m smelling an awful lot of bullshit here. If the power grid (or any other major infrastructure) had a known single point of failure that would cause the entire system to collapse, there would be more than 2 people who know about it, and they certainly wouldn’t be vague-booking it to Lemmy.

Great in theory, but fat people will always be oggled at and judged for their size. All this will do is make a big spectacle and draw attention to those who really just want to be left the fuck alone to live their lives.

So, when you take a shower, all you think is “scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub, rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse”?

When I shower, it’s all pretty automatic and muscle memory kinds of actions. My mind wanders all over the place, usually while listening to music /podcasts /audio books, but rarely do I think about the actual act of bathing.

Something Diabolical

Sounds like a southerner’s word for a calculator.

“Two times three? I reken that’s a five.”

It’s not that we can’t explain it, it’s that you can’t understand it.
