Assuming it perforates the intestine - big infection from fecal matter getting into the abdominal cavity. It’s called peritonitis, and AFAIK it’s pretty much fatal if untreated. Severe abdominal pain as the infection spreads, all the vomiting and diarrhea cleans you out, and then the infection starts to shut your intestines and the rest of your organs fail while you go into sepsis and die. It’s not fast, either. It can take several days.

“Xitter”?

Reads like “chitter”, sounds creepy enough.

They kill the atheists first.

Like a greentext…just made up BS. Really, the “cowboy” was the only one dressed appropriately for weather?

And the leather soles get mushy…and the salt used to melt the ice absolutely shreds the leather just above the stitching when it dries out. Western boots suck in the snow, and it’s a quick way to ruin them. Even rubber-soled ones like some of Ariat’s don’t last, but they’re better on wet surfaces.

Go ahead and buy. Shares generally tank pretty quick after IPO for companies that don’t actually make anything, the dot bust ensured that. Only time will tell if Reddit shares improve or flounder around not going anywhere. An additional thought - Reddit would do well to do things like get rid of old.reddit, go after ad blockers, and maybe implement a “verified” fee program like Xwitter to boost their stock potential. And also ensure I’ll never return.

Look like little Jim Henson monsters.

I asked Midjourney to draw itself. Somewhat similar of a look, though Midjourney seems to think itself a bit godlike. Edit: difficulty uploading from mobile. https://imgur.com/gallery/TETnZqg

You talk with someone and have an interesting discussion, somebody says something incredibly snarky/quippy instead of engaging “in good faith” and the other person gets dog piled on, or it devolves into a flame war and insults start flying.

TBF this is every Internet forum ever.

The solution is tight moderation. However, that ends up with the same old tired argument of limiting speech and the the user base because people don’t want to participate somewhere highly restrictive. We wind up with moderator fiefdoms because people are biased and some get over controlling when they get a little power. It’s a really hard balance to strike.

Never happen when economies and politics are based on always looking for the upper hand and profits.

Lengthy non-scientific video covering the detection of colliding black holes in 2016. Also, buy their merch.

The problem is you’d have to tear up a shitton of infrastructure to do it because built-up areas have no room to extend road widths safely to accommodate bike lanes. The driver behind that problem (pun intended) is the car culture and lack of public transportation. They can’t get rid of car lanes to hand them over to walking/biking dedicated areas because there’s too many cars and people that rely upon them to get around. There would never be enough people that would vote for or support such a project. Rural areas DGAF and are too poor to build bicycle infrastructure.

It’s not that we can’T be bothered, it’s the usual problem of Americans not wanting to pay for anything that they don’t use themselves or that might inconvenience them even though it’s good to get cars off the roads and keep people safe.

Not worried about being dead, really. I didn’t exist for millennia, I got my time in the sun, I won’t exist for the rest of time. It hasn’t bothered me.

Dying on the other hand sounds like a painful, grief-ridden, stress filled misery. I really don’t want to have anything to do with a drawn-out death. That’s what bothers me.

More fees.

Later in the news tomorrow:

“25 million jackpot to be split among 45 individuals who all picked the same numbers. Lottery officials confused as to how this could happen.”

Hm. We have 2 kinds of HMD in our household. “Fit” is not problematic, but it’s profitable marketing.

I know very little about the machinery that makes the fediverse work, so forgive me if this seems ignorant: What’s to prevent a malevolent entity from writing their own version of the fediverse that is compatible with the current version and uses the “EEE” philosophy to essentially take over, grow, and kill (or overwhelm) the ‘verse we all use now?

It’s a lot cheaper to consume the competition before it’s a threat.

Right? The only people that seem to hate on the EU are the ones being prevented from profiting off of it the way they abuse Americans.
