Oh yes, it will be set off >:3c

I think deepfake porn is a bad call. Not only are you using nudes w/o the people’s permission to train the a.i. but you’re generating graphic content of people who don’t want themselves exposed like that

I would like to see darknetmarkets make a comeback. There really isn’t a way to find any darknet sites without being told about it. shoplifting would be a good one too esp since that subreddit always discouraged people from stealing from small businesses/encouraged ethical stealing which I appreciate.

I also think subreddits centered around conspiracies like pizzagate should make a comeback even though that doesn’t interest me personally.

I’m flippant on cringeanarchy. Before it was taken over by trolls, racists, etc, it was actually interesting. I’d like to see something similar but I worry it invites the same fate

When there’s no war, people like Hitler won’t have any opposition to their rise to power. Haiti never gains independence. We’d never have escaped feudalism.

Most wars are stupid bullshit and suck ass. The military, especially the US military, is the biggest waste of money ever. That doesn’t mean that war isn’t directly tied to lots of positive things like innovation. There’s so much medical, industrial, and geographical knowledge we wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for some war, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. People’s ideas will always conflict because different groups of people are going to have goals unique to them that clash with others

Now if you were to ask how to stop unnecessary wars, better more efficient rulers. Most of the people in power today are complete hacks. It’s crazy

But I don’t think we’ll ever get rid of war and I don’t know if that’s necessarily that crazy? Ultimately it’s apart of how we grow as societies

I’m honestly torn. Their points about it not having monetization make zero sense - there’s a bunch of shit on the internet available for free, the fediverse didn’t invent that. I also find it very interesting that they tore into the rough around the edges federating of mastodon without mentioning how smooth it is on lemmy, kbin, etc. Though to be honest I tried mastodon and it did feel kinda dead

that’s honestly strange

you can use an indoor adhesive to fill the chipped area, paint it, and glaze it to fix it. there’s different adhesives and glazes out there so I would recommend looking into what the mug’s made of and trying to match materials. Keep in mind that if it’s dishwasher/microwave safe the adhesive/glaze you use might affect that

You can also use a polymer clay and glaze to fix it. Keep in mind polymer clay needs to bake to set so the mug HAS to be dishwasher safe (since it’ll be able to withstand high heats!)

Generally pcos means that you eventually need to be on hormone treatment anyway, so the treatment might as well be masculine since your hormones already need to be changed. It’s different for everyone ofc but my endocronoligist says that my terrible hormones were like a blessing in disguise because it was hard to make it worse with the treatment lmao

People are seriously unbelievable. House sitting and dog sitting are both jobs 😭

To answer very literally, no. The water itself isn’t thicker, it’s the same. It is denser because the pressure is significantly higher, because the water is colder, and to a small degree because salt settles down

However I also wanted to consider what’s in the water so I did a bit of research and while there’s a higher density of salt at the bottom of the ocean there’s more bacteria and other small organisms higher up toward the top of the water. So if you’re only thinking about pure water than it’s the same but if you’re trying to compare water content it seems to be thicker / more condensed higher up

I love baba is you

I found a specific Lemmy instance that I wanted to join. For what I use it for the format suits me better but if not for this instance I probably would’ve been on kbin just cuz it seems easier to interact with mastodon through it

My mom said they’re gonna announce paperboy 2

Money or no money it’s shitty to miss someone’s birthday. Even if you were honest if you’re not willing to go to someone’s birthday party why are you guys friends? YTA

It was important for me to pick an instance that allowed nsfw content fairly liberally so I could post/share art I make. I also personally like to be able to talk to the server owner and didn’t see having to be given access as a downside

Trans, in NYC, can confirm lol

This was way more interesting than I thought it was gonna be

You know what’s up

Oat milk oat milk oat milk. OAT MILK. I can’t describe how much I hate powdered milk and as much as I like oatmeal I can only eat so much. Me and my sister have taken the leftover oat mulch and mixed it with a flavor packet from some other dried food to make pancakes but I don’t recommend it.

On the topic of black beans if you like Mexican food/have spices you can low boil the beans (with the juice and some water) with onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper to make beans that go really good with chicken / rice / eating by themself ngl

If you end up with a lot of dry pastas I low-key like to eat em right out the box (I just dump the flavor packet and shake it) but you can fry the noodles to get like chips

Canned peas aren’t gross imo but it’s soooo easy to make fried rice with leftover rice (the rice has to be cooked and then cooled) peas, garlic, egg and onions and then you just add whatever else you want (+ idk where you live but here I just walk into chains like panda express and grab soy sauce packets). Bonus points if you take the egg yolks and mix them into the cold rice - it’ll coat the grain and give it that Chinese food texture

Also don’t diss pancake mix, almost every pancake mix doubles as a “bake starter” which means you can use it to make cakes, muffins, fry batter, etc etc. I like to make biscuits

Peanut butter is another versatile one but something different you can try is making peanut sauce which is so delicious with instant ramen noodles.

I also used to always end up with canned chicken?? I would basically just use it like ground meat lol

Literally been thinking about this so thank you beautiful brained individual. Would you mind if I shouted this in the YSK group?

Damn this is really well put
