  • The venn diagram of Americans who think they need guns to stop a tyrannical government and Americans who support Trump is a circle.

    (All kidding aside, while this is still painfully close to true, there are signs it's changing, such as the recent resurgence of the Black Panthers. However by and large the people who are horrified over the pain and suffering inflicted by the Trump administration are also anti-gun on account of all the pain and suffering they cause. The peaceful, anti-violence, anti-war types are not exactly well equipped--literally or figuratively--to stage an uprising against the government, certainly not one with a military budget the size of Mt Everest)

    why youtube but not patreon?

    Jump

  • Here's what I assume when I see YouTube/Patreon links:

    YouTube link = recommendation for free content

    Patreon = self-promotion for paid product

  • ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners

    Jump

  • I mean, it's not like it's a time-consuming thing to do. I haven't checked in with everyone, but at least one person is still using the setup two years later and is grateful for it so I call that a win. But my original point was about not making assumptions that people who use ublock are going to be tech savvy.

  • ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners

    Jump

  • I've installed ublock on the phones of some very non-techie older adults in my life, specifically because they're non-techie and never would have even known ublock existed otherwise. Granted these folks are definitely not on Lemmy either, but point is there's a wide range of users out there

  • YSK that electric blankets are cheap and incredibly cozy

    Jump

  • My understanding is that they used to be a fire hazard a few decades ago, but have improved significantly in safety since. Plus you don't have to sleep with it on; using it to warm up the sheets before you crawl into bed is often sufficient, depending on your climate. Or you can use it elsewhere in the house, such as on the couch or a reading chair.

  • YSK that electric blankets are cheap and incredibly cozy

    Jump

  • YMMV, but the cheap one I bought only lasted two winters before the electric part died, while the more expensive two I bought have lasted five years and counting.

  • The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.

  • That... sounds like a potentially serious medical problem

  • I skimmed the original study (published in 2014).

    This is a correlation study, as are nearly all large-scale population studies. Everything (including number of produce servings a day consumed, physical health, and mental health) is self reported. The author says they controlled for income among other variables, but I'm calling SUS, because there's a lot of factors regarding diet/food accessibility not easily captured in a handful of basic data points. In other words, there might be something here, but absolutely nothing has been proven.

    Remember, ice cream consumption is not a driver of the murder rate.*

  • Conclusion(s): Women with rectovaginal endometriosis were judged to be more attractive than those in the two control groups. Moreover, they had a leaner silhouette, larger breasts, and an earlier coitarche.

    Okay but like, this actually does point at a potential cause (as in, why it persists/is so common in the population) of the condition, which is sexual selection.
