  • Already chossed the plug kind

  • Man scouring Google Earth found a mysterious scar in the Australian outback. Now we know what caused it
  • That was my bet! Thanks for saving the click, fellow stranger!

  • It's because we don't have a style of music called "Jizz."
  • Probably because of the virtues that each fan seem to seek with their choice…

  • How do you go about evaluating sources of information for truth/credibility/etc.?
  • The main point is to be able to handle uncertainties in a normal basis, the greyness of reality, despite the temptation of blacks and whites of our minds.

    For sure it costs a lot. The consideration of the superposition of possible truths and the weight of potential biases is a huge burden without granted full coverage, but allows you to accumulate a landscape of plausibility of things: yes, is not 100% precise and is still built by personal prejudices but, with a systematic acceptance of new bits of information regardless of how comfortable they are, it can grow a mostly reliable understanding of reality with a variable amount of temporary uncertainty on some facts… and you can still convert greys into quasi-b&w once they reach a decent amount of independent evidences, you now, to free a bit your RAM.

    PS: Peer review is neither 100% perfect, is just more solid.

  • Sinister sucks. Fight me.
  • Yeah, “probably” will have exceptions, but in general are easily abused resources IMHO

  • 10x cheaper than in 2010, and 40x-100x cheaper than in the 90s. It'll probably continue to decrease.
  • I cannot agree more with this comment, the bias is so evident that is in the brink of being plain propaganda

  • Sinister sucks. Fight me.
  • Jump scares are a bit like added public laughs on sitcoms, if you need them to make it work then probably is mediocre…

  • Are movies where the time loops over and over considered time travel movies?
  • Well, when the loop takes place there is a travel in time taking place… but not as in the standard time travel films.

    I think is important to point out that in the Groundhog time loops the travel is only of the memories or the information, there is no energy-mass traveling (though information is a kind of energy, let me skip physics here), and the traveler at the beginning of the loop has not carried anything from the future but the memories of the previous loop, did not age or suffered physical modifications (there may be exceptions, sure).

    So I think that is a kind of time travel, but a sub-genre where the travel is less material than in the typical time travels.

  • The amount of people your age is only going down with time.
  • In the end, there can be only one

  • Italian train leaves 50 minutes early to avoid being late
  • Ma cuanto mi manca Italia…

  • Remember to adopt, not shop.
  • I have terrible difficulties to enjoy those anime that require irreal coloured hair stiles and eccentric complements to distinguish the characters…

    Recently I felt a bit of freshness with an anime, which faces I do not find “beautiful” or well drawn at all, but they were all quite distinguishable without the need of weird coloured hair… Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction, despite the cartoonish style for once in a while I was glad to not see an endless amount of plain “beautiful” stereotyped faces…

  • World's largest EV never has to be recharged
  • I cannot avoid to be pedantic on this, it is recharged during half the trip… it just does not require plug-like recharging

  • Valencia e la trappola retorica del “ma è già successo” per negare la crisi climatica
  • È già successo, così si è formata l’Albufera lungo scale geologiche, ma la sua frequenza (inclusi gli eventi più estremi) è in aumento nelle ultime decade.

    In ogni caso, essendo già così la natura, il disastro è piuttosto a causa di altro: si è costruito, e molto, in regioni così allagabile da millenni persino di non aver appena accumulato insediamenti umani fino il boom immobiliare dal secolo scorso e inizi di questo, in aree già riportate con inondazione storiche.

    Che poi il governo regionale non ha avuto il coraggio (interesse economico) di sospendere le attività non imprescindibili (come sì ha fatto la università e scuole di alcuni municipi, valutato come “esagerato” quella stessa mattina dal governo della regione) eppure le alerte alla popolazione per cercare rifugio non sono state erogate in tempo per ore provocando una quantità folle di vittime è la goccia che ha fatto traboccare il vaso.

    Purtroppo non si può gestire qui trivialmente la forza della natura, le aree interessate sono tantissime, i bisogni di portata d’acqua in questi casi nei trami più popolati non possono essere sodisfatti con gli spazi disponibili adesso…

  • Israeli soldiers are leaving Google reviews for Lebanese places they destroyed
  • I really would love to be able to tag this kind of beings capable of such actions in a way that I can recognise them when I find them out there in person, not for violence of any kind against them, a % of humans are alike and may be useful for certain tasks, but to take informed decision about with whom prioritise my altruism or any social collective benefit: I may share this planet with them, but I will never call them my people.

  • Elon Musk to spend election night with Donald Trump
  • They have a whole country to rape, preps will be important…

  • do you think lemmy will ever be popular?
  • I don’t care, I just want a nice place to wander, nothing is forever, but the longer, the better, regardless of popularity
