  • What's yours?

    Jump

  • Huh, guess rewatching Annihilation just barely was a good call, I’m a professor of cellular biology.

    Not my strong-suit (ochem is a mess) but there are plenty of worse jobs in this comment section.

  • Is she saying that eating ass is bourgeois decadence?

    Jump

  • “Consuming” pussy sounds more like sexual-fetish driven cannibalism, which might still be a considered unethical lol

  • Do you reckon more blowjobs are given by straight women, or gay men?

    Jump

  • Gay men aren’t as horny as people would have you believe

    My pansexual roommate ones showed me an app/website I can’t remember the name of, for gay men to advertise that they want to hook up, in real time.

    There were hundreds of bubbles, with like 5 more showing up every second and some disappearing. And the thing only shows you the local ones so that’s 100 men just within our part of a relatively small US city. (Tbf, lots of them were from within nearby hotels so not necessarily local people)

    But the point is all of this is live, dozens of men advertising themselves, people looking for people to hook up with people right at that moment, and that’s just in like a 5 block radius.

    I can’t say gay men are hornier than women, but I’d be willing to bet gay men probably get the most action per capita out of any gender-sexuality combo on the planet.

    Edit: Found it the site is called “Sniffies” (I don’t know why it’s called that and I don’t really want to) but if you’re a man into men and want to advertise your dick size and your hotel room number to random strangers on the internet for a chance to get laid, this is the site for you lol

  • Can’t tell if this is meant as a jab at Anarchists or Communists.

    The Anarchist doesn’t want there to be a centralized hierarchy since it gives people absolute power over their fellow men, so they’re asking like “what part of DICTATORSHIP do you not understand?”

    The Communist is asking “what part of dictatorship of the PROLETARIAT do you not understand?” Because they think the society Anarchists want is a form of a dictatorship-of-the-proletariat.

  • Tibet: Chinese author refutes People's Republic of China narrative, confirms historical independence of Tibet

    Jump

  • First off, again, the source isn’t glorifying slavery or pre-invasion Tibet only that Tibet was independent from China and would like to not be occupied.

    Thirdly, “freeing” slaves and then preventing them from governing themselves, shelling peaceful protestors, and bombing cultural heritage sites doesn’t really make you seem like the good guy. Oh and you know, kidnapping an innocent child to control/destroy a religion is kinda not good either.

  • Tibet: Chinese author refutes People's Republic of China narrative, confirms historical independence of Tibet

    Jump

  • That is not at all related…?

    How is “China is lying in order to justify its invasion, ongoing occupation, and cultural erasure of our nation” at all related to “Some people in the south romanticize the idea of slavery”?

  • [Discussion] What's your Soulslike origin story?

    Jump

  • I was bored and had heard Elden Ring had great world building and lore. This sounded like the story adventure games I usually played… yeah…

    After dying in the tutorial section multiple times because this was the first real combat heavy game I’d ever played. I actually committed harder to playing it.

    I had just recently been diagnosed and medicated for ADHD and I decided that forcing myself to beat this Hellish game would be a great exercise in following through with goals and not giving up on tasks that are long/difficult.

    It took me longer than I’m willing to admit (in my defense I was playing with a mouse and keyboard for the first week or two), but eventually I beat the game.

    Oh I should also mention I did quit about halfway through… to go beat DS1 and DS2. I was dying to the same bosses over and over and needed novelty. So I decided DS1 would give me new things to explore but still help me get better at these games. It worked well enough that I decided to restart ER from the beginning. It is very satisfying to obliterate enemies that used to feel difficult and know that it’s because of skill not upgrades this time lol.

  • Is there a Lemmy community for posts like this showcasing the “dead-internet” ?

  • Why wouldn’t a historian think a capable multilingual strategist and leader (who took a great interest in the health and welfare of her people including supporting citizens of disparate faiths and cultures) was sexy? How is any of that not sexy?

  • Get that silicussy

    Jump

  • Mostly that’s due to how much restructuring would need done to fix it. Not really because we’re wired in the optimal way.

    The left recurrent laryngeal nerve loops down around your aorta and then right back up parallel to itself because as the heart moved away from the head in evolution, the nerve was pulled down with it.

    Could you reroute this nerve and still function? Yep, it would even reduce latency and just the amount of nerve tissue needed.

    So why doesn’t evolution do this? Because it can’t…probably…

    In order to reroute this nerve, you’d likely have to change how your nerves and heart develop in the first place. That would take significant changes to the genome and said changes would have cascading effects on the development of other systems. You’d need to deal with those effects to keep the rest of the organism organized like it was. (Just realized is kind of reminiscent of the transfer learning problem in machine learning, huh)

    Point is, your body is wired the way it is because the “tech debt” that lead to bad routing is too much for evolution to fix easily. Much easier to just deal with it duct-tape style than refactor the whole body.

    There are probably many more things like this, like our retinas being “reversed” where it likely would be better the other way, but evolution can’t fix such a primary structure so easily (our retinas develop from our brains), so instead it tries its best to make do, and we get specialized glial cells to be as transparent as possible and a neocortex capable of pattern filling in blind spots.

  • Hey mate you can always create your own community or full on instance if you want to. That’s kinda the point of the fediverse

  • This one is probably one of the better playlists I’ve found (though it’s called AMBIENT HORROR, not Eldritch Horror)

  • I'm there already

    Jump

  • Holy shit. I had no idea who this was either. Then, like 5 seconds ago I open Spotify and in my search for eldritch horror music I say “hey why does that name seem familiar?” and then remember this post.

    The song is pretty mid (and, while slightly eerie, it is not eldritch horror playlist worthy imo), but it’s just wild that it just showed up right after I saw his name for the first time in this post.

    This is the fastest frequency illusion I think I’ve ever experienced.

  • Pull a page out of Disney’s book: dead parents.

    In what way could this character have lost his parents in this universe? Vary the emotional damage to fit the theme you want (you can even have the character’s parents die in a stupid way if you want the story to be somewhat humorous)

    Create a villain (or hero) to have committed that act—or use factions you already thought of—and voilà you have a character revenge arc set up.

    You can repeat this with basically any universe, and it still feels fresh if you just keep changing a few things around.

    Did it happen recently to this person or a long time ago? Maybe change it to be a different family member or a friend. Maybe this was a massacre where there are multiple survivors seeking revenge. Maybe instead of seeking revenge they are really just trying to hide because whatever villain took their loved ones is hunting for them still.

    Hell you can even push the entire thing into the past, turn the revenge arc into the lore of the world if the completion of that revenge arc would have had a large impact. Then the main quest could be trying to undo what has been done, or trying to stop another group from trying to undo what has been done. You could even obscure the actual events and make legends that all are loosely based around the truth but contradict each other so your characters need to uncover what really happened. (Cultures like having myths that make them seem better than they actually were)

    When you need random characters to play roles in the plot, its often fun to just pick a random race/culture/class in your world and then say “how could a person from this group have ended up where I need them to be and with the skills I need them to have?”

  • Not sure which way you mean this:

    A) In the “(insert dictatorship-style government with extreme censorship that claims to be “socialist”) isn’t authoritarian because that word was made up by the CIA.” kind of way, or

    B) In the “this meme was likely made by someone who fits option A, where they purposefully try to make authoritarian seem meaningless to defend their favorite ‘socialist’ dictatorship” kind of way, or

    C) in the “People throw authoritarian around so much to the point it basically has no meaning because multiple groups purposefully shift their definition of it around so it doesn’t apply to themselves or people/governments they like.” kind of way, or

    D) purposefully vague so you reap upvotes from people who agree with any of the above

    If it’s D, well done my friend lol

  • back to distrohopping. I want a reliable OS (no rando ubuntu fork with no clear release/support schedule) with something else than Plasma or Gnome.

    Jump

  • Reliable OS: Debian is the standard, or try Fedora if you want to get the latest software features

    Alternate DE’s: xubuntu is a classic and it’s fast. LXQT is also lightweight but not as modern feeling imo. Debian install disks should let you choose either of those DEs (or some others) when installing
