I can also recommend his books “Arithmetic” and “Measurement”.

An elephant? Why not the wooly mammoth?

All I know is that I now completely understand why the T-Rex was so aggressive all the time.

how that created babies

Exactly how wasn’t known anywhere before1875, however most humans through history seem to have had some idea of there being a connection between sex and pregnancy. I remember reading about isolated island peoples having other ideas, like the Trobriand people who believed that an ancestral spirit entered the woman’s body and that sex had nothing to do with it. However this article claims those reports are half-true at best; the Trobriand people apparently considers sex necessary for the formation of the fetus, even if it’s not the primary cause. There’s also some speculation that humans became aware of the relationship between sex and pregnancy after the domestication of dogs because of their shorter gestation period. Ultimately, we’ll never know…

Genesis 38:8-10

Juda, therefore, said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother’s wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother. He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name. And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing[.]

In all seriousness, since apes do it (a lot), I don’t think there ever were a “first person in history”. It’s more just a consequence of having long enough arms.

A lot of assumptions here… clearly this is going nowhere.

As a general rule, where quality of output is important, AI is mostly useless. (There are a few notable exceptions, like transcription for instance.)

Well, perhaps you and the people you know do actual important work?

There’s a podcast I lesten to, to improve parenting that runs a workshop called “taming your triggers”.

Podcast name? Thanks for the tips here

.ra files taught me why proprietary is a bad word.

Why not both?

Oh, of course…but why the car? Because there’s a car bomb, IRA-style?

I’d love to understand this joke, could someone explain?

Just off the top of my head, probably forgot a lot of great bands.

Definitely. I’ve used macos for work for 10+ years now and never had an issue with updates. Windows updates on the other hand…

Hey, wouldn’t it be great if Signal still supported SMS?

We could retcon it as named after the koopaling.

As much as I love Motorhead, it’s not a great name.

This is the real answer, and for context: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_labour_movement

You have a point. It felt different when I signed up but now all the most upvoted content here seems to be screenshots from Twitter, regurgitated memes and similar low-effort dopamine triggers. And when I left reddit it was mostly reposted TikTok reels anyway. Cognitive fast food that’s easy to lose yourself in but unhealthy and unfulfilling as a habit. Lemmy doesn’t really have many niche communities to outweigh the slop either. Consequently, I spend less time here as well. Which is probably a good thing.
