science@lemmy.world•Getting hit by lightning is good for some tropical treesEnglish
5·1 year agoGod nature is wild. Sometimes I wish I had gone into conservation instead of the medical field.
The way my cats look at my I’d say so.
Okay so maybe not homophones but if there was a blaring fire behind you, you mind mishear the person below. It’s still funny.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL The Mystery of Kaspar HauserEnglish
11·2 years agoFascinating. Never heard of this guy until now. Based on that picture, Hauser was definitely lying about his age.
Someone care to shed some light as to why this is a meme?

science@lemmy.world•Conservatives are happier, but liberals lead more psychologically rich lives, research finds
4·2 years agoFair point. I should not have grouped Progressives with Liberals. But in the current US political landscape, Liberals tend to move policy forward even if they are only tiny incremental changes.

10·2 years agoThis makes a lot of sense actually. Conservative values represent upholding the status quo and at this exact moment that is how society works. So in the moment they see society following their values which makes them happy.
Progressives and Liberals are programmatic and critical of society and see things that could be better. That inherently makes you less happy with what’s going on around you since you can imagine a better world.
Yes ignorance is indeed bliss when it comes to being conservative.
We can only hope

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•JD Vance falsely accuses Algerian Olympic boxer of being transgender & weirdly blames Kamala HarrisEnglish
8·2 years agoAmygdala too big and cerebrum too small
What’s really interesting is to look at the time scale when each our pets were first domesticated. Dogs domestication happened between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago, while the cat started becoming domesticted only 4000 years ago. Pretty crazy to think how much of a difference their is in the time it took each of them to become adaptive to human society. Makes you wonder what house cats will be like given the time frame dogs have had.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL most cultures and peoples all over the world have historically had trouble recognizing the color blueEnglish
391·2 years agoI want to better understand this because the sky is clearly a specific color that has been there since the beginning.
How did proto humans not look up at the sky and considered in their feeble brains, “everything above the ground is this very unique color. It’s different from the ground, and the plants.”
I get that sea and lakes really don’t look blue. But did they look up and not see some shade of blue on a clear day?

91·2 years agoIve had one and it was quite tasty. Yours looks even better than the one i had. What’s the sprinkle stuff on the outside?
That’s awful. I hope their death was quick painless
Okay so scaled algorithm is elevating highly downvoted posts. I better make a post about this so we can have this fixed.
Great news. it’s also nice to see they are more accurately counting active users with the latest update. I still think Lemmy will surpast a million active users with in a year or two.










What an odd article to see when this has been well known for years.
