  • Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night

  • I’m not doubting they are out there now, but I think based on my own observations it’s a new trend that is only 20 or 30 years old. Or, at least, it was not seen by me in earlier years .

    I’m going to get on my soap box and guess such clocks became more popular because of digital devices showing 24 hour time

  • The first time I saw a 24 analog clock in the 1970s was on a tv show (Mash). Did not see another in real life for 30 years

  • Wow, am I the only person on lemmy to grow up before any digital clocks, where all the clocks were 12 hours ? Yes, yes I am

  • How corporate leaders and donors shaped Newsom’s biggest policy pivots

  • Not tyrany so much as an erosion of laws and diminishing federal oversight. It will become, I think, difficult to think of the USA as a single political entity rather than a thing that oozes like slime

    Sure, this year it seems like tyranny will happen, but the democrats and republicans will still win alternately in the next few decades . Most of the bad stuff that will happen in the near future is not dramatic political events but hunger and disease, suffering not covered by news outlets

  • The USA is doomed to spend some time having increasing anarchy and lawlessness, and I think will continue to do so for a few decades. Sometimes it will get better, but overall things will get worse.

    What we are seeing now is merely the most recent symptom of the beginning of the decline. But there is no political or any other solution except some individual states and communities doing their things.

  • How corporate leaders and donors shaped Newsom’s biggest policy pivots

    Jump

  • Newsom is himself quite wealthy and his extended family has more money than most of these influencers.

    If he was taken out if the current political situation and compared to most American politicians, over the last two centuries, he would be far right business interests.

  • Young Americans are increasingly rejecting the Democratic and Republican parties, a new poll shows

    Jump

  • And before ice it was just as bad, if not worse.

    Violent crime has been going down since the 1970s after abortion was legalized, birth control pills were available, and lead was reduced.

    Both my parents came from a small town that in the 1950s had an ordinance that blacks could be shot if in the city limits, after sunset, if without a white escorting them .

    Lots and lots of violence happened in the USA that was not reported in the news. The murder rates from previous decades are very much underestimated.

  • Trump says USMCA is irrelevant for US

    Jump

  • Sounds like he wants a big bribe to not crash the auto industry. I imagine the asking is higher than a billion dollars

  • Whenever I see posts about Lemmy activity counts.

    Jump

  • I’m too triggered by all the comments here, not a single one is less triggering than the other

  • Ai, Japanese chimpanzee who counted and painted dies at 49

    Jump

  • That’s amazingly old for a chimp. Like a 117 year old human

  • Ozempic reduced grocery spending by an average of 5.3% in the US

    Jump

  • The drug is so powerful it’s even caused reduced grocery spending among those who do not take it. It seems all that is needed is a cousin, neighbor or anyone living within a hundred kilometer radius.

    Science is baffled

  • You need to stop using Brave

    Jump

  • Which is why I use OP browser, even if it’s evil, to look at some news sites and YouTube. For other things I do not use it. I assume they do bad things to my browser and have a bad opinion of the management there

  • I’m mostly bald, use clippers for any survivors; and like to make fun of any conditioner or shampoo. So, I upvoted this post

  • I can hand write a lot very fast, but it only had value when I do the above.

  • [Video] Video evidence shows Nick Shirley lied in his "Somali daycare fraud" allegations.

    Jump

  • These types of people will only become bolder.

    I feel the United States is at a unique moment in its collapse, however long this may take (and it may be decades)

    The earlier rule of law ( such as it is) and order is decayed enough to let people like this thrive yet still substantial enough to give them power.

    Later on, the decay will be too much for this to have any effect, even though other crimes will be more frequent

  • If it’s partially written by AI then the writing is either hurried, lazy, or some other bad thing.

    At best, it shows it was written under deadline with someone watching the clock.

    Real writing > lazy YouTube videos > AI assisted.

  • She believes the species is hanging on in the wild, possibly on the adjacent lands of the Mescalero Apache Tribe, where the surveys weren’t permitted.

    The tribe did not respond to requests for comment.

    There is an entire backstory there, seemingly skipped over, that seems vital to this article

  • Chocolate could disappear by 2050. Could this climate-resistant alternative [carob] take its place?

    Jump

  • Every half generation, some unfortunate people discover carob cannot replace chocolate. Sometimes this causes real trauma during repeated attempts
