You wanted to say “You can be on lemmy without bringing reddit here.” And phrased it as a bad question so you could post it here. You just want to soapbox.

Managing the content of your own feed is your responsibility. If people post off topic in communities, handle it with a report, not another post.

You are creating what you are complaining about. This thread is the most discussion about reddit I’ve seen in a week or more.

We may never have a good answer for why the gay nerdy communists love the colorful scifi communist space adventures

I think they are arguing that using disney stuff as training data would be the infringement, and if the logo showed up in generated images, that would be proof they did that.

But I’m guessing because it is phrased weird if they meant that. Idk.

Btw even if it wasn’t intentional this is the funniest thing I’ve seen today, “damn building instincts” had me in tears.

I’m sorry if this is rude, I’m glad we had a pleasant exchange.

No figs for you

I know you meant the ones that you don’t want to get stung by, but even those don’t exist to sting you, they are important predators and scavengers of their environments, and their loss would still have negative effects.

Plus, the context of the post is discussing the possible negative impacts if certain animals just disappear, so I used your phrasing as an excuse to talk about something I think is interesting. I mean, without wasps, you don’t have figs anymore, at all, and all sorts of other stuff. I think that is neat.

Huh. Do you live pretty far from where beavers do (not asking you to be specific)?

But yes, beavers are great. They are what is known as a “keystone species” because they create the wetland environments that many other species depend on to live in. They eat wood, and yes, the way they build dams is by piling debris/wood wherever they find/hear flowing water, until they’ve plugged it all up. Then they build a lodge with an underwater entrance in the pond they made, and stock it with sticks to eat through the winter. I think they are adorable.

Oooh that one is rough, especially since you just said generic “wasp”. That would get rid of a monumental amount of pollinators, specialist ones. And scavengers and predators that help manage other pests. And a large number of wasps are smaller and don’t sting, instead they have ovipositors. I won’t get into detail what they do with em, but they are harmless to humans and often amazing at taking out populations of agricultural pests, like hornworms

I can’t tell if this is a bit or someone who has only heard of beavers from a half overheard conversation they were eavesdropping on.

Yeah I think any human-specialized parasite is an easy choice. Head lice? Fuck em.

Hades. I’m not really sure why it didn’t grab me the first time…

Im doin this. Chop some golden raisins into tiny pieces, mix them into some good mac and cheese, possibly with other added things in it to make them blend in better, and serve it to my family, see if they even notice.

Idk why I want to do this tbh, but I am filled with dreadful curiosity…

Oh no, what a horrible insult. I’m sure OP will never recover from being told they hug trees, you went too far.

I really disagree. For learning lemmy for average people, big instance is best.

There is a point where people who stick around are likely to make a new “real” account on a different smaller server, after they know what they want to browse.

Basically big instances should be like training wheels.

The tech illiterate ones.

Which, statistically, are mostly the older ones.

The only people who really prefer coal and gas over wind and solar are the fossil fuel industry. They want to keep their place on top of the energy market, and attempt to do so with lobbying and propaganda, . Wind in solar are more than powerful enough to provide for all our energy needs, and either we will eventually switch to them or be replaced by the people who were smart enough to switch to wind and solar.

Excellently written!

I am so tired of people who have no idea how good wind and solar are/have gotten smugly declaring that wind and solar will never be good enough to meet energy demands…

Oh, at least they got all that harmless weed and non-addictive hallucinogenics off the street… Waste of taxpayer money to fuck with that.

Why do you have to be rude? They were simply claiming the classes were not effective at their apparent goal of making students more ethical. It doesn’t mean they don’t think doctors should be ethical.

I also had to take a required ethics class, and it was the worst taught class I ever took there. It wasn’t effective at teaching me about ethics, it was just a pile of bad tests, and it certainly wasn’t effective at convincing me and the other students to be more ethical in our respective careers.

The free website where many people put up easy to access high quality educational resources is a great way to learn stuff on a budget. Not all of youtube is great but being rude to people who watch youtube videos to make yourself feel bigger is shitty.

I don’t agree with you, but I really like the word “gringe”, so good job.
