  • Wetlands

    Jump

  • It always pisses me off when I hear about draining of wetlands for development..

    There are rules here that say you need to replace wetlands you destroy, but of course they never recreate what they took away. Those wetlands are WHAT they are and WHERE they are for a fucking reason. You can’t just move them and expect them to function the same way, but beyond that, they typically replace the active and stable wetlands with shitty stuff like swamps that are only replacements on paper. Swamps exist where they do because they work there. They do not exist elsewhere because they do not work there. And swamps are no substitute for marshes and floodplains and creeks and stuff. They just aren’t.

  • do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs?

    Jump

  • I have chickens, and whether or not I like the taste and smell of eggs is wildly dependent upon the eggs and preparation.

    I worked at a chicken hatchery in high school and was traumatized by what we called “poppers”, which are eggs that rot inside with the shell fully intact, wherein any contact with the shell causes it to explode. It took me over a decade to eat eggs again. And I still won’t eat anything like quiche, omelets, or even just plain scrambled eggs. I find them gross for whatever reason.

    But a sunny side up or an egg salad or something? French toast? Egg bread? Breakfast bagel bombs? Sure.

  • FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled

    Jump

  • No it doesn’t. It just locks the screen and requires passcode. It’s the same thing that happens if you hold power and volume to bring up the emergency call or power off screen.

  • Here’s an archive link for you.

    In the future, you can go to archive.ph and put in the url and it’s usually already been archived. There are some paywalls it doesn’t get through, but it handles most of them.

  • Just to clarify and expand a bit: It’s 5 presses not 6, and you can do it in your pocket because it gives you a haptic feedback signal when it works, of a quick vibration in a unique pattern.

  • Peacock chair - That chair you keep seeing (in photos)

    Jump

  • I have one of these in my attic. It was my mom’s. She was a big fan of the Addams family and called it her Morticia chair (pic for why)

    It’s a pain to move because it’s so big, but really lightweight.

  • What fictional animal do you think would be the most delicious?

    Jump

  • Blob monsters, like the gelatinous cube sort not the pulsating mutation of animal flesh sort, seem tasty, like caustic jello. Just use some acid neutralizer and mmm mmm zingy delicious.

  • Cats in motion by Léo Forest

    Jump

  • Looks like every picture I try to take of my cats when they aren’t asleep

    Very accurate cat energy

  • Which are you?

    Jump

  • I don’t wear socks or shoes unless absolutely necessary. Sandals are fine, but if I can opt to not wear them, I do.

    If I wear socks they are always knee socks. I can’t stand those little ankle high deals that leave a breeze up your pants leg.

  • Attractions

    Jump

  • Honestly I kinda get it. Humans have a strong inherent desire to look at and visually study things which are unusual, particularly deformities. I’ve read speculation that this is some sort of assessment of contagion or something along those lines but regardless of why, it’s a normal compulsion.

    But it’s rude af to stare in public, and photos of medical curiosity you could stare at without offending someone weren’t necessarily available so, yeah. I doubt it was particularly humane or desirable, but at a certain point a job is a job, and that’s probably not the worst one they could be doing.

  • Women filmed in secret for TikTok content - then harassed online

    Jump

  • Don’t even need it to look that bad. You can buy tiny stickers to cover that light in such a way as to near-completely hide it.

  • Eep

    Jump

  • Interesting. Now that I think of it, I don’t think I really have different personalities with different people. I don’t have that much energy. I might be more outgoing with some groups than others, but that’s a matter of volume rather than a different tune. Maybe that’s why people keep saying I’m “genuine”?

    Excellent, thanks for sharing!

  • First time here: What are some tips or rules I should know?

    Jump

  • Welcome! Hope you like beans!

    If you browse all, do be aware of what community something is posted in -before- you reply to it. Make it a habit to check. A lot of our communities are for minority/minority-on-Lemmy groups (vegans, trans people, women, etc), or intended to serve people from any number of countries. The posts in these specific-group-serving communities frequently show up in all, just because of the size of this place and how the system works. Don’t comment in English on the German posts which will flood your feed every morning if you sort by top, 6 hrs, and don’t have it blocked (I don’t block them cuz I’m very slowly learning bad German via memes!). Not a woman or trans person? Don’t post in the women’s stuff community. That sort of thing. These rules are usually listed in the side bar for the community, so it’s easy to check before you reply, but you can also ask if you don’t know and can’t find the answer yourself.

    Another important thing is IF you are going to use AI, whether image generation or text generation, only post it in AI-friendly communities. If you don’t know if a community is AI-friendly, assume they aren’t until you find out otherwise. A large chunk of comms and users are actively trying to avoid AI content, and most of us don’t want to read a bot post you had generated, so you’ll get downvoted for it. Downvotes don’t really matter, but they do give you a sense of how your comment is received. You should be able to disable downvotes if you don’t want to see them, I think, or it might just be a piefed feature, I’m not sure (it’s fully interoperable with Lemmy, but with better tools).
