It’s just the limit, like German’s autobahn…

There’s no linear path to progress, many of your questions perhaps would make no sense under that scenario. But I like your prompt.

I am thinking of a world where there was no centuries of slavery in the west. So no imperial power in Europe or North america. So, probably a ver bleak situation in Europe. Also, no chocolate, coffee, corn!!, or potatoes…

Meanwhile if the Americas and its people would continue on their own, probably the Incas would have expanded more or just live in constant war with Mesoamericans… Maybe the latter would have expanded north…

And their technology may have “advanced” toward an integral way of living conneted to nature instead of the highly optimized exploitation and demeaning that Illuminism wrote on our frontal lobes as the maximal case of success

I like these thoughts. Not a writer myself, but I can see some novel saga growing in this alternate timeline…

Speaking of the Mayas, check out EZLN. I was at Zapatista’s schools in the high mountains of Chiapas and it was amazing to me seeing how they live there and how they reference themselves, individually, as inheritors of Mayan culture…

AFAIK, the problem is that we don’t even know with certsinty the shape of the universe. Let alone find out anything outside our own cosmos…

A sailor once told me the anchor tattoo represented their will to end up in the bottom of the sea if he ever drowned or their ship sinked. This was because, as he put it, the other option would be having their family members see his body in terrible shape.

This person tended to tell exagerated stories, but still… I was young and believed it ever since. Can any other people confirm they heard the same? I would like to know :)

Obviously “Cats”

Edit; if there was a “Crabs” musical then that one.

Depends on how you want take it… I don’t believe the commenters refer really to people, they might be more like targeting Institutions (e.g. British Museum)… It all depends on the sensibility of the reader (like many arguments on the Internet)

Collabora enters the room…

In case anyone wants to try this or any other “natural” drug. The most important fact is to check how far apart is the dose (a.k.a. LD50) that has the desires effect from the dose that’s going to kill you. Most of the recreative drugs have a nice gap in between.

Back from where I come from some teens would prepare an hallcinogenic tea with flowers from Datura plants. Some deaths were reported from time to time…

Of course, this is not considering other risks (health issues aside from death itself, or psychological dependance.)

So… Keep it simple. It’s better to trust your dealer’s products. Omg, wtf is my advise right now…?? Well, I guess “better” is the keyword here.

That one memestified gangbang scene, keep the actress :)

Oh but from a biological perspective they are a whole different case. The general rule would be that fish doesn’t lay this type of eggs (with specific layers and a hard shell). Amphibians neither. And then, evolutionary speaking, came the amniote egg. With feats that work as an adaptation to earth’s dry environments, without water. It’s really a ‘deal breaker’ and as such it’s treated by biology books because we split all animals between those that have such eggs and those who don’t…

I hope this doesn’t ruin peoples lifes. And if it affects anyone in Canada, I hope their revisit those laws on environmental pollution. There’s a reason why all the mining companies are in that country. Ecocide in third world countries is driven by that “blind spot” in their laws and I’m certain the majority of canadians don’t have the least idea of their complicity.

Since everyone is jumping to a “programming languages war” under the masquerade of ‘Lemmy vs. PieFed’ let me also point out that the people involved on each project is different… Weren’t some of the lemmy devs facist apologists? I don’t want to spread fake news, but this is an accusation I read more than once. Perhaps someone can share the source to these ideas… I havs interestest to know more

What does NIH stand for?

So, infinite holes. Just like a line has infinite points. And, a longer straw has a bigger infinite number of holes.

I studied biology and one thing I like about ferns is that they have these “dots” under their “leaves” that once mature drops a powder of spores that creates new ferns… Don’t ask me why I like it, I just do. I find it simple and to the point. You can simply leave a pot with earth under a fern and then you will find a baby developing there. Just like magic, and very elegant.

I fail to see the connection between the meme and the community where it was posted. Anyone cares to explain? Ty in adv.

“Allow me to interject and explain the four liberties…” (Or, goto fsfe.org/freesoftware )

If I understand correctly the biggest issue for FFMPEG and other projects is not only the Google and Microsoft that use them without giving back, but their chosen License. They gave permission to corporations to do this. One of the potential ways to fix this situation, is to change the license. For example from LGPL to AGPL. And then they can sell the legalese package of allowing them to break their license. The biggest difficulty is that, as a project, they’d need consent from every past and future contributors. So, yeah. I get it. This is a mess.

It would be way more easier if more corporations donated to open source projects… There’s too much labour that’s invisible

You can also put cork on fire, wait it to cool off and then paint you face. That’s a peaceful way to get shot. Follow me for more tips!
