  • If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’”

  • I'm sure my reasoning would bounce off just one question later, but my next question would be that if god knows everything then why does he test people's faith? He doesn't need to, since he knows already whether you have faith or not. Also, are hundreds of million years old dinosaur bones really the most brilliant way of testing someone's faith?

  • While I'm not an expert in economics, from my uneducated point of view it looks like they are an inevitable result of unregulated/improperly regulated capitalism. But I understand once you make strong enough regulations to try and prevent that, it might not be called capitalism anymore, but I guess it also depends on your (everyone's?) very definition of capitalism.

    Again, I might just be a dumb fuck in the matter, though.

  • To be fair, back when I made a decision of decreasing my meat consumption, it took off as "meatball Mondays": I allowed myself to eat meat one, maybe two days a week (but not a must). It's been ~6 years since. Last year at one point I tried to remember when it was the last time I had meat (it wasn't that week or the one before). I couldn't remember.

    Meatball Mondays are still a good start.

  • On the one hand, his posts contain a non-negligible number of "boomer" style memes (could be stuff like wife bad, targeted at minorities, vegans, whatever - not necessarily actual examples, just trying to define "boomer" humour), and some of them end up getting downvoted into negatives.

    On the other hand, he's bringing content to Lemmy regularly. I'm not saying that's enough on its own, but I can complain all day about niche communities being dead/empty, and then I don't post shit. He does. More people should do that.

    Just do it right, though.

    Oh, whether it's a bot or not: I'm not saying definitely not, but at least the posting history is showing changes. Started putting an NSFW tag on everything lately (probably to boost engagement, because wow, maybe boobs), and it seems like it stopped. Could still be experiments with a bot account, but there's that.

  • What are you most Excited in 2026?

    Jump

  • Elections in my country. And you can imagine my general level of excitement if this is the thing I'm the most excited about.

    But this fucker has been in his position for 15 years now, polarising society, being Putler's buttplug, undermining the EU and the sanctions, protecting pedos, even trying to ban Pride, and selling out the country to China/Russia. This is pretty much the last hope to do something against that, since he's been eroding democracy and installing puppets everywhere while moving all the country's money to places he has personal control of.

    And the only opposition runner who actually has realistic chance against him is also rather shady/sus. And this is the best thing we got.

  • Why did you push so hard to get family to chat?

    Where... where did you get this from? I didn't push so hard to get my family to chat. In fact, I didn't push my family to chat. In fact, I wasn't even the one creating the group, but when most of my family is there already, and I get added to the chat I won't leave it just because I refuse to. And by the time I had WhatsApp already.

    (EDIT: I read back and I kind of understand why you thought so. We got the parents to use same platform once most people were in it already. I didn't take part in creating the group or choosing the platform, but my siblings and I put some effort in getting our parents to use the same thing, indeed.)

    Not out of personal choice. That was the means to communicate at work. I'm glad if it's not required by your employer, but that was a requirement where I work. It's like using whatever app/program/tool at work: if that's what they use for communication (and expect you to do the same), you can't just say "I won't partake, everyone can bugger off".

    I'm happy if you have the freedom to pick your own tools for everything, but not everyone can. It doesn't mean I like it or that I support it.

  • If that's where the family chat is, I won't protest until everyone else moves to Signal or something. It's a minor miracle we could get both parents to start using the same one platform back then. You add a simple recolor and they feel like an Armenian in upper China with a map of Congo written in Hebrew.

    Also, work chat.

  • I wouldn't sleep with a bra, either. It's just an unnecessary layer, preventing my skin from breathing properly. The straps would also be just in the way. I'm a cis male, though.

    um nonstick pans. Mine doesn't work AND it wasn't cheap : (.

  • Scientists are your best bet, I guess. I wish I could cite you studies, but I would have to search, as well. I might soon.

    UPDATE: This far all I got was 'best to be careful' or 'staying away never hurts':

    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304389425031759

    These findings challenge the assumption that PTFE particles are biologically inert, highlighting hazards arising from their physical interactions, especially at the nanoscale. Given the relevance of the co-culture in vitro model of intestinal barrier to human intestinal physiology, the results underscore potential intestinal health risks from PTFE-MNPL exposure. Future studies should focus on chronic, low-dose exposures to elucidate the specific cellular pathways activated by PTFE-MNPL exposure.

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28913736/

    Due to toxicity concerns, PFOA has been replaced with other chemicals such as GenX, but these new alternatives are also suspected to have similar toxicity. Therefore, more extensive and systematic research efforts are required to respond the prevailing dogma about human exposure and toxic effects to PTFE, PFOA, and GenX and other alternatives.

  • I have a non-stick, and I use it rather infrequently. I have read about the effects of damaged coating, and GOD I would throw it away immediately as soon as I see ONE flake in it. Maybe I'm just overreacting it, but I treat it like it was a delicately covered layer of asbestos.

    It's great and smooth NOW, but I'm only using it until I see a noticeably hard scratch. Until then, I get rid of the oil and juices with a paper towel immediately after cooking (and I'm already slightly worried that the dry paper could be too abrasive on the dry bits of the pan), and I leave it to cool down before I wash it to prevent it from heat stress.

    I might be overthinking it. But I'm playing with the thought of getting a cast iron or carbon steel already.
