  • Yes. The other person said they were "carnivorous" though. Giant tortoises are not carnivorous.

    Horses are also not carnivorous even though they do eat meat on rare occasions to survive.

    Words mean things.

    You're also wrong about horses. Put a steak on the ground in field of plentiful grass, horses will ignore it until it's rotted away to nothing. They do not just eat stuff outside of their regular died because its risk free and easily obtained.

  • Good luck, everybody

  • Joke not funny, advice dumb. People no haha, give better advice.

    Judging by those advice posts being massively upvoted - seems most agree.

  • Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response

    Jump

  • What you're missing is that the ingredients of tattoo ink have changed dramatically in the last 100 or so years.

    Prior to then tattoo inks were made mostly with soot or black ash mixed with plant oils.

    Nowadays the inks are almost entirely synthetic, sourced from the same companies that make industrial paint, and have been tested and some found to contain carbon black nanoparticles, Texanol, BHT, 2-phenoxyethanol, and various other things that are confirmed (or reasonably suspected) to be toxic and which definitely wouldn't be in historical inks.

    The proof should be entirely on the suppliers and administrators (tattooists) to confirm their ink and tattoos are safe, not the users. Yet their regulations are very lax in most countries, requiring no pharmaceutical testing even though they are injected into people's skin.

  • Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response

    Jump

  • Not a biologist but I believe the latter. If the ink could be broken down by the macrophages in your lymph nodes it would likely be broken down in its intended location in your skin too, as there are lyphatic capillaries and vessels throughout our skin.

  • Carniverous? All living giant tortoise species are herbivores.

    Now who's stupid.

  • No Black Friday deal for loyal/previous customers

    Jump

  • I have a paid Proton account and yet I still pay for AirVPN for years because of 1) how good their service is for torrenting 2) how cheap it is at black friday every year.

  • Could VPNs Be 'Banned'?

    Jump

  • People used to not use VPNs too - until they realized how useful they can be by spread in pop culture and increasing tech awareness of the general public.

    If commercial VPNs are banned the tech savvy will move onto a replacement immediately, and the knowledge will slowly expand through social circles and social media until it has similar penetration in society.

    A VPN ban would be both harmful (to business and consumers short term) and pointless.

  • Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing

    Jump

  • Or.. They ban VPNs and overnight the VPN providers start offering cheap VPS services that can run a self-managed VPN over them, or proxies, or tor exit nodes, or Wireguard/Tailscale exit nodes, or..

    <The list goes on indefinitely and will be added to as needed by users>

    .

    You can't ban people running private servers and routing encrypted data through them unless you want to shut down 90% of the internet.

  • 'Are you insane?': Billionaire CEO Jensen Huang blasts Nvidia managers who are 'telling their people to use less AI'

    Jump

  • Billionaire... For now.

    If Nvidia tanks he'll be a measly hunded-millionaire.

    P.s. large margin of error I have not deeply analysed Jensen Wang's stock holdings for a shitpost.

  • Pebble Time 2 has screws

    Jump

  • Its corner-cutting to save assembly costs. Plastic tabs take sub-seconds to whack into place vs screws which take 20+ seconds each.

    Theyre saving ~$100 on your car assembly process and the end result is you have a vastly more annoying car to work on and repair for its entire lifetime. Its beyond annoying.

  • OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates

    Jump

  • I wanna say you're wrong, because AI is absolutely not an essential service - like say a water or power company failing would be (or arguably banks). But knowing how deeply the AI tech bros have sucked up to and supported Trump I have to sigh and agree with you that they will probably be rescued from their own stupidity by the taxpayer.

  • Chinese civilian firm starts mass production of Mach 7 missiles at low cost

    Jump

  • Reading your post I'm reminded of the Shwerer Gustav which were the biggest canons ever made, shot a 7 tonne 3.6m projectile and obliterated basically any target of the time.. Objectively impressive.

    However.. the Germans only built 2 of them and it took so long that the battle they were explicitly designed for was well over by the time they were completed, only 1 was ever fired and wasn't really needed for that battle either, they cost $7m Reichsmarks each ($62 mil USD in 2025), 1400+ tonnes of steel, required a crew of 2,750 and two flak battalions for protection (2000 additional men). Not so great when you read the fine-print.

  • The Auto Industry Was Warned: Battery Recycling Was Poisoning People

    Jump

  • Headline clearly leads "Auto industry warned" implying this is an industrial issue specific to them. And it is. This is not misleading.

    The issue is that they are offshoring the lead recycling to very poor nations that have no environmental protection laws. Why? Cos cheaper.

    Same issue with almost every industrial problem - the dangers are off-shored. Out of sight, out of mind. The US auto industry was warned about this exact prpblem and pleaded with to set up monitoring and a clean battery sourcing program - and of course they did nothing, because the only way corporations listen is with law and effective enforcement of those laws.

  • I Set A Trap To Catch Students Cheating With AI. The Result Was Deflating

    Jump

  • That's akin to getting a driver's license to prove you can drive - but not sitting behind the wheel a single time, and paying someone else to do your test.

    No skills learned, nothing gained beyond a piece of paper.

    Students might think they're being slick by pushing all the work to AI during their degree, but their new boss in the real world will quickly recognize that they do not have the skills they should have according to their certification and say bye-bye during their probation period.

  • Teen Sues To Destroy the Nudify App That Left Her in Constant Fear

    Jump

  • Yeah great idea genius - except that creating deepfake nudes isn't a crime in and of itself currently - only online public publication makes it a crime, which Nudify isn't doing - so funding the police and prosecutors more would do jack shit.
