I don’t bother. 99.55912432140001521439566917234% of the time it says “Fuck the colorblind” or some variation thereof.

In all my adult life, I can only think of one friend of mine who would absolutely be down for going out and hunting for bugs. Fortunately, some of my friends have young kids, and young kids love to go bug hunting.

Still wish I knew how to find more adults who would be enthusiastic about going on a bug hunting adventure rather than just being weirded out by it.

It’s a sex joke grandma, you wouldn’t get it.

I think there’s a piece of pepperoni between my bicuspids I could probably use his legs to help me dislodge.

Is that his skeleton?

It’s so weird seeing almost 500 upvotes on a post like this on lemmy where, based on comments, like 90% of it’s users can barely afford rent, let alone going on vacation and staying at a place that offers breakfast.

I’ve known some of “these people”. Couple of pointers.

First, resist the urge to hold you breath too much. Sounds counter productive, but this is not a situation where you want to lower the amount of oxygen reaching your brain. But also, the more you breathe it in, the sooner you start to become nose blind to the worst elements of the aroma.

Second, try not to laugh when you inevitably have to ask “where should I move this stuff in the seat?” even though you already know the answer is going to be “just throw it on the floor”.

Biggest question I have is do you have to leave Mothman a tip for that? And I guess if so how much?

This bird, guys.

I don’t think moldy even applies here, this cat was a thing on the internet back before we even knew it was all powered by tubes. At this point it would be more appropriate to call it fossilized.

DISCUSSTING but I do like their food. Harold and I are on a fixed income so we don’t eat at the Olive Garden anymore but there’s an Italian place over in Monroe that has some really good parmeseans and for half the price so when the kids come to visit we have been known to eat there.

Are the chocolate covered ones creme filled or jelly? My dearest Harold is allergic to the cream filling but me personally I prefer it. Second best is raspberry. Worst is anything mint or citrus. A plain donut will do in a pinch but I’m honestly not that desperate.

I didn’t even know you could find Snork Alarms anymore. But I wonder if this is a case where this device is designed for a non-english speaking area where these are the correct spellings for snork and alarm or if this is just a case of mistranslation.

There’s nothing stopping me from writing a $480 million USD check either. Cashing it, on the other hand, that’s a you problem.

In case it hasn’t already been shared …

You wake up.

You’re still a lizard sunning on a red rock. It was all a dream.

The concept of selling “feet pics” to pay back “student loans” is already losing its meaning as you open and lick your own eyeballs to moisten them.

Time to eat a bug.

Ya’ll listen up up here’s the story about a little guy that lives in the blue world.

My very first PC was a Compaq. It was not the cheapest low-end piece of shit available in those days, yet it was still an absolute low-end piece of shit. USB ports broke with minimal use. CD-ROM drive broke despite minimal use. The case started falling apart after a year or so. RAM went bad. I could go on, but you get the point. PIECE OF LITERAL FECES.

And then they got bought by HP, which was already on my list of PIECE OF LITERAL FECES companies.

So, that’s when I knew I’d never buy anything HP branded. That was 20+ years ago.

And literally (I’m using literally in the literal sense), every single person I know who has bought something (anything) HP branded after I advised them not to has regretted their decision. It’s honestly baffling how they are still in business on the consumer end. Their stuff is crap. PIECES OF LITERAL FECES.

Fruits, and by extension peppers, evolved to be eaten. Peppers are the fruit of the pepper plant, and generally speaking, fruits act as an enticement for animals to eat them and thus distribute their seeds.

It’s just that hot peppers specifically appear to have evolved a strategy to dissuade mammals from eating them, since the chemical that causes them to be hot primarily affects mammals, but not birds. It’s actually not an uncommon strategy, many fruits are distasteful or even poisonous to certain animals, but are perfectly edible to other animals in a way that suggests it is specifically beneficial to be eaten by some but not by others.

While I agree that evolution would progress roughly the same way, I don’t think it would result in exactly the same people.

This implies that you think I was saying it would be the same people, but I actually said the exact same thing as you, just in different words: “it wouldn’t be the exact same people, living the exact same lives, at the exact same time as now.”

With powerful people (like kings, emperors and their courts) being different, history would be different too

For sure, but from the timescale we’re discussing, the whole of human history is literally just a tiny fraction, a blip, at the very end. And until very recently, you could even argue the vast majority of human history was almost entirely inconsequential.

Well, I don’t think time travel backwards in this manner is possible, but if it is, it would have to operate under the laws of thermodynamics which means the energy (and maybe even some of the atoms) that was “transported back in time” would represent a paradox.

The energy and/or some of the atoms in you and the time machine were already somewhere in the past when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Which presents a paradox (and this is probably not even the only paradox), so how does the universe conserve energy in that situation?

Somehow the “original” atoms and energy that became you and the machine would need to be reconciled with the duplicates that suddenly turned up.

So maybe there’s a mysterious process that obliterates energy? What would it be and how would it work? Would that be equivalent to the false vacuum that could fundamentally destroy the universe as we currently know it?

Or maybe there’s nothing to actually stop duplication of energy and atoms and it’s entirely feasible to go back in time. You take the time machine back, see some dinos from space, and you managed to otherwise not change a thing. That means in some dozens of million years, you and that machine will be sent back to exactly the same time and location again because nothing has changed. Bam, now you and that time machine are in triplicate. But, with nothing really changing, the same process will occur again and again. Does it reach a point where there’s so much duplicated energy / matter that something fundamentally different has to happen? Would all those duplicate yous and time machines coalesce into a giant cosmic object that comes crashing down to the Earth like a giant asteroid, thus killing off most dinosaurs and paving the way for human evolution? Hmmm.
