it isn’t happening

how new people will find their way to Lemmy when the default feed is so disgusting.

they … don’t

that’s kinda the problem. i wanted to show lemmy to somebody today, and at first glance they found it nice, but the content is a bit … toxic. i think there should be a custom listing scheme (the thing where you see “subscribed, local, all”). it should provide custom listings that are maybe per-topic or sth (i’m not sure how this would work yet) and you can easily select “no politics pls” listing.

i wish lemmy had custom listings (by topic or by language or whatever) so you’re not confined to the “local” stuff from your local instance or having to subscribe to every single community that you maybe find interesting manually.

so there’d be not only “subscribed, local, all” but sth like “subscribed, local, cute stuff from other instances, all”

“owning land” historically was mostly about defending the peasants that lived on that land from external violence threats, for the exchange of natural products (mostly food)

i wish there were no photos of me as a child either

fucking idiot

what crimes would that be?

ah fuck this is waaay too good to not save it.

true feminism

First, define life

idk i’m no “scientist” apparently because it’s never stumped me as unsolvable. I define life as everything that adheres to evolution, so in other words everything that has a genetic code. More or less “life” sometimes (superficially) also only refers to the metabolism that is caused by living beings, which would exclude viruses and such.

It ends with us laying awake in bed terrified that this moment is our last because maybe we’re a different consciousness when we wake up.

if this is really your last moment, you might relax. why worry so much if it’s no use after all?

sounds like a ship of theseus reference:

Every part of the ship is replaced one-after-another. At what point is the ship still the same ship? At what point is it a new ship?

fun fact: souls are given the same name in german (“seele”) than the interior of cables:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seele_(Technik)

It’s because the soul refers to the spinal cord in the spinal canal that is embedded like a metal wire in a cable, i believe.

original sin was when our ancestors left the sea so we have to work jobs now

you forgot the pause at the end or the window will close immediately

southern europe vibes i’d say

reminds me of this:

Growth hormones make them work faster when you lift weights

you know what i’ve never liked about lifting weights? i could finally put it in words yesterday …

it’s the fact that it’s such an unnatural movement. i imagine nobody in prehistoric times went to a fitness studio. they just followed through what feels natural. and spending time with steel machines doing hundreds of repetitions of boring exercises is not it.

dancing would be fun. it’s workout (a lot) and it’s fun. problem is that you need somebody else to do it.

have a bad day? drink water

have a scratching feeling in your throat? drink water

have a headache? drink water

you get the idea
