I think you’re on the money with yeet, and I think “af” (as in “Dark Souls is hard af”) still has a fair bit of usage considering how old it is and how cringe it was for a while.

Cringe, too, for that matter, although I still think “cringey” is better

Edit: I predict “low key” will stick around, too.

Nooo cap…

The burden of good taste is always knowing that nobody you met will ever know what the fuck you’re talking about when it comes to music.

Is stating the self-evident truth considered a meme now?

It does get legitimately used both ways. In a chemistry textbook, seeing it written as “unionized” is pretty common, and wiktionary says that the hyphenated form is predominantly used in contexts where it might be confused with “having a union” (which matches with my experience).

However, I still assert that it’s just not a word chemists use that much as there are other, less ambiguous synonyms available.

Plus, they are amazing as mixers, so you can always make them alcoholic

See, I’m a chemist, but I also believe in the power and importance of organized labor, so I still read that as unionized.

Plus, I think most chemists would say “neutral” or use protonated/deprotonated rather than un-ionized

It’s a reference to the Ship of Theseus thought experiment

I don’t know, the second ship looks like it’s had some bits replaced with after-market parts…

Australia has no strategic importance to Russia, therefore Trump doesn’t care about it.

Sierra Nevadas resident: glares with envy at your measly couple inches of snow

edit: For context, I live near Lake Tahoe and in the 2022-2023 winter we got more than 50 feet of snow at the pass near my house, and IIRC it was something like 39 feet where I live. Since that was mostly spread out from December to March, we averaged 4 inches per day for 4 months straight. Not that we actually got 4 inches per day; it was more like 2 storms per week which each dropped a foot of snow over a 12-hour period. It got to the point I had to get my snowblower onto my roof to clear off 15 feet of snow so the roof didn’t collapse from the weight.

Man, fuck that winter.

yeah, but at least we can vet that shit better that the unsourced and hallucinated drivel provided by ChatGPT

Be the change you want to see in the world…

I can hear this meme…

Thanks for the explanation!

You recover faster and better, because you distribute the new connections throughout the tissue, you don’t have this one rigid perforation to tear, so you don’t have to be healed up all the way before you can get back on your feet

Isn’t this a function of the surface area, though?

We live in a small town in a state that has a law that to attempt a VBAC, the hospital must have an full surgery team on site. It being such a small hospital meant they almost never had a full staff at any given point, so the second two were scheduled C-sections.

However, like your experience, my wife went into natural labor the night before the second C-section was scheduled and almost certainly could have delivered naturally, but the hospital went ahead with the C-section anyway

Glad your wife healed well; my wife had three c-sections and the first one was done by a very old-school OB in an emergency situation, so she never stood a chance. That said, even old-school c-sections are better than my wife and son dying in childbirth, so I’m still grateful for modern medicine, but it would have been nice if it was a little more “modern”

I think you actually have that backward. In general, a jagged tear heals quicker than an incision because there is more surface area in contact between the two pieces, so a larger number of cells can be working to repair the tissue. That said, I’m not a doctor and it’s been 10 years since my wife and I looked into this before our first kid, so I may be misremembering.
