Hopefully. But I’m not about to pretend I know where the positive feedback loops we’ve unleashed will go. Maybe the climate starts to improve a few decades after we’re all gone; maybe the greenhouse effect becomes so intense that planet earth becomes molten.

Even extremophiles have their limits - we may well have set Earth on a trajectory that ends in absolute lifelessness. Hopefully not. Probably not. But we’ve taken the keys to the planet and drove it off a cliff… whether or not anything can be made from the wreckage remains to be seen. But not by us.

Medical here. “Huh?”

We had a good run.

Best of luck to whatever the tardigrades evolve into after a few billion years… if any of them survive the hellscape we’re turning our planet into.

Don’t put any object in your ass that isn’t designed specifically to be in there.

If you’re into that, just go to your local adult shop and buy a dildo with a wide base so it doesn’t get spaghetti-noodled right past the sphincter.

Placentas always look like a fake rubber model of a placenta. I’ve done hundreds of c sections, and there’s always something uncanny about seeing those things just hanging out in their bucket on my backtable.

Crates are just the first step:

To kill the beetles, the crates of books are being placed into tall, hermetically sealed plastic sacks from which all oxygen is removed. After six weeks in the pure nitrogen environment, the abbey hopes all the beetles will be destroyed.

but I’m pretty sure they are not OP is asking for…

“at the reader’s discretion” :D

I figure the odds of any one comment here aligning with my personal taste are pretty low; but the goal was to stick my head out of that bubble for a bit, and y’all have delivered! It’s been fun checking out everyone’s recommendations, even if they aren’t being added to my own playlists.

Americans don’t understand the concept of multiple axes

We only need one… Suspended by a rope, in a large wooden frame with a nice little basket on the bottom.

It’s way past due to make like the French and grow a fucking spine, then trim a little off the top of the new malignant spines. It won’t happen, but it needs to.

Roaches never just die when we need them to. There’s the possibility that the next guy won’t miss though.

5-10 consecutive record breaking hot summers, each of which accompanied by headlines examining that scientists knew it would be bad, but not this bad!

…also some orchestrated drama to act as an excuse to initiate martial law, also acting as the justification to initiate Trump’s 3rd and 4th terms.

I’ve seen studies claiming that toilet seats are among the cleanest spots in a public restroom, and that slamming your bare ass cheeks down on those things is perfectly safe.

I also work in an operating room, where we routinely chop condyloma off of people’s ass cheeks… albeit less commonly the cheeks than the hole, but enough times to showcase the fact that the cheeks are prone to spreading and contracting contact dependent pathogens.

Those studies are bullshit - always build that toilet-paper-bird’s-nest on the public toilet seat.

Edit - also if you get a skin tag that seems bigger than a normal skin tag, it’s probably not a skin tag. Get that shit looked at before it’s the size of a fucking golf ball. You’ll save yourself a lot of time, pain, money, and worry.

There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. She may be among the least malignant of that group, but they’re all cancer.

Yeah. Again, it’s a spectrum. Very few of them are 100% stupid or 100% evil.

Some are more on the stupid end and don’t realize they’re shooting themselves in the foot; others are more on the evil end and even though they understand that they’re shooting themselves in the foot, they decide it’s worth it because they’re okay with their suffering if it means certain other people are dragged into suffering with them.

I suspect a lot of the stupid we see is just a veneer to make the evil easier to sell. Look at Trump - we’ve given him the village idiot pass countless times… If he actually acted competently, the damage he’s doing would be way more obviously intentional, but so long as he plays a convincing enough dumbass, we’ll continue treating him like -just- a dumbass.

We’re living the Darth Jar Jar theory and I fucking hate it.

Not all of them are stupid. The ones who live in the Fox fantasy world where leftists spend their nights communing with demons and drinking baby puree smoothies, and that opposing those leftists is doing good: those are stupid.

Many of them understand the evil they’re committing by supporting traitors like Trump, and they revel in it. They don’t give a shit about the US or any kind of morals, they just want to hurt brown people, or trans people, or women, etc.

So… the Nazis all fall onto more of a spectrum of stupid on one end and evil on the other. Living in the south, I honestly don’t see a ton of genuine idiots (seriously). I do see a lot of Nazis… so to finally answer your question, not that stupid. It’s the other side of the spectrum that’s somehow growing in popularity.

I hadn’t come across it or heard of Eichmann until just now. It’s shitty that it doesn’t use a better namesake to represent what it’s trying to describe; but that description is one that’s absolutely happening. Hence OP’s meme.

The vast majority of us, self included, are stuck in that trap; and having a label for that trap is an important step to challenging it.

So… I can 100% understand the opposition to it, but what do you recommend in its stead?

t9 keypad? Meh.

Flex t9? Shit was flawless.

There’s a distinction to point out between “absolutely no business getting made” vs “the final product turned out to be shit”. I can’t really think of anything that belongs to the former… I haven’t actually seen most of the films mentioned here so far, except the SW sequels… which turned out to be shit, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have made SW sequels at all: they just shouldn’t have made them shit.

I don’t even know how to block an instance, but even if I did, idk if I like the idea of just nuking that much content in one swoop.

Also would that block posts from users of that instance in other instances (like if one of them posted in this comment chain)? I have nothing against the folks who do enjoy that stuff - I don’t want to see the furry crap in my feed, but someone from a furry instance posting non-furry crap elsewhere is fine.
