One justification for European Jews moving to Israel that I’ve heard is that they’re victims of the Holocaust escaping Europe after the war. IIRC it’s also one of the stated reasons Germany and the EU have unquestioning support for Israel.

I don’t claim to know what’s best for Holocaust victims, but is moving back to their homes in Europe not an option even after the war? Aren’t they basically admitting that Europe is so antisimetic that even after Hitler was defeated it’s still not safe for Jews to live there, and/or straight up admitting that they genuinely don’t want Jews in Europe?

I’m young enough that the first “computer” I ever owned in my childhood was the first generation iPad. 64 GB felt huge back then and was a pretty big deal for solid state storage for the time.

I then got a junker Windows XP computer mainly because the iPad didn’t let me mess around with the OS nearly as much as I wanted. Learned to program on that old computer using the iPad for online tutorials. But the hard drive was only 40 GB and it blew kid me’s mind the difference in size between the single chip of the iPad and the metal brick of the hard drive, yet the hard drive has less storage.

Remembering past lives means also taking on all the trauma, anger, and heartbreak of your past lives. No thanks, one life worth of those at a time is more than enough.

Also, I imagine death itself is wildly traumatic. Remembering your own death would fuck your psyche over and severely disadvantage you in your next life.

So is cardio shortening your life?

A single activation period for the account is honestly way better than what Reddit has where you’re not allowed to post in a ton of large subreddits because you don’t have enough karma when your account is created.

We still pretending the West has free speech or we over that now?

Also, Lemmy has ways of discovering communities. Just browse the all-local or all-federated feeds and you’ll see what communities are popular.

The “can’t sign up” complaints might have something to do with how most instances make you answer questions like “why do you want to sign up” and “what communities will you browse” as a simple way of stopping automated sign-ups, and if they didn’t put anything in the box or just said things like “IDK I’m from Reddit” they might have been rejected due to the admins thinking they’re a bot or spammer or something.

Gonna throw in my personal conspiracy theory (that I don’t have any evidence for): I haven’t been on Reddit Alternatives since I found Lemmy, but based on what i remember, there seem to be quite a few people who have spun up their own projects and are promoting them pretty hard on that subreddit. Who’s to say if one or more of them decided to buy bot comments to smear their competitors?

The water trap that’s in your toilet and sinks.

The only thing stopping your home from smelling like a sewer is a bit of water strategically placed.

Reminder that if you have a sink you don’t use, it’s best to run the tap for a few seconds every month to keep that water trap filled.

Why I’m in this flesh robot to begin with.

Some sites still don’t support PNG lol. Usually it’s places where they specifically expect a photo, where they’ll hard code the validation to only check if it’s a JPEG. I once had to upload a picture of my face for something and the original JPEG was too large, so I took a screenshot and tried uploading that but it wouldn’t work because it only accepted JPEGs. So I had to figure out how to compress the image locally on my phone because I didn’t want to upload a picture of me to one of those online converters.

I would strongly recommend using a Lemmy/fediverse instance that is not hosted in the US.

For tons of reasons, the fact that it might get shut down by Trump isn’t even in the top five.

Hey remember when .world was getting all high and mighty about defederating from Hexbear and Lemmygrad because they might incite violence?

I never understood Hollywood’s love for taking classical mythologies of humanity and spinning it into the most absurd movies that have literally nothing to do with the original mythology. Thor as a superhero is just one example. It really seems like what should have been just an original character that they slapped the Nordic mythology around for no good reason. Meanwhile now whenever I try to search up Thor, the top results get clogged with Marvel’s bullshit instead of his actual millennia old mythology.

Also, I guess it doesn’t matter with Thor since no one in modern times actually believe in Norse mythology, but Hollywood is not that picky and have bastardized real religions that people still believe in, namely Indigenous mythology in the Americas and lesser known folk religions in Asia and Africa.

Measuring liquids by mass is even more accurate because the volume is related to temperature, plus the surface tension and water’s tendency to climb up the walls of the container can make the volume readings ambiguous

I’m in Canada, and learning French in school actually helped me with fractional measurements since French is based on Latin.

Cent is 100 in French, so 1/100 meters is a centimeter

Mille is 1000 in French, so 1/1000 meters is a millimeter

Dix is 10 in French, so 1/10 meters is a decimeter (this is last because it’s not super helpful since you never see deci- units in the wild outside of niche applications)

And for the powers of 10, we only really talked about kilo (1000) in school, but I was interested in computers since I was a child so I figured out mega, giga, terra, etc fairly early on.

If you can’t provide sufficient enrichment to a pet that you own and made a personal commitment to care for, rethink your decision to have a pet. My dog would go crazy in the house too if I spent as little time interacting with her as most outdoor cat owners seem to spend from comments like yours. You can also take your cat out on supervised outings like people do with dogs.

Studies show that indoor cats not only live longer, they have lower amounts of stress related hormones in their blood, suggesting that they are less stressed/scared or don’t get stressed/scared as often. You can subjectively claim that your cat is miserable when inside and you’re probably right about your cat and its specific personality, but the data shows that the majority of indoor cats are doing fine provided they have an owner that doesn’t ignore them.

Also, you know where outdoor cats take their shits so your house doesn’t smell like cat turds? Other people’s yards and gardens. I pick up my dog’s shit like a pet owner should and you’re proud of the fact that you just let your cat shit wherever it wants?

Reminder if you have an outdoor cat that you feed in your house, you are subsidizing it killing birds. Outdoor cats who are fed at home don’t usually eat the birds they catch since they have a more reliable source of food at home, so they kill almost as many birds as a feral cat with no other food source but don’t eat any of them and just leave them to die once they they’re not fun to chase anymore. So outdoor cats killing birds is not “nature,” they’re an invasive species being fed farm-raised invasive species by the most widespread invasive species of all so they can go out and kill native birds that they won’t eat.
