I like some of the ‘nature inspired’ ones

Trump: makes incorrect claim

Moderator: Actually there is no evidence that happened

Trump: well I saw it on TV! Someone said it on TV! Someone wouldn’t just go and say something on TV if it wasn’t true!

Shouldn’t the president of the country have a bit of higher standard of evidence than “I saw someone say it on TV”?

Wait, doesn’t everybody walk around with a pocket psychrometric chart?

Curbing carts bends the wheels. If you’ve even been annoyed by a cart with a bad wheel, congratulations you played yourself.

Except that loose carts roll away and get blown by the wind scratching other people’s cars. Carts put up on curbs and in gravel etc. ruins the wheels making everyone’s experience worse. Carts left in the parking lot block spaces so people can’t park in lots that already sometimes are overfilled.

You’re not ‘sticking it to the man,’ the store owner or corporate shareholders who make the rules and set the prices don’t care, you’re making life worse for your fellow shoppers.

What will be left will be mentally ill and addicts which can further be helped by throwing money at support instead of punishing them.

Gravitational forces affect everything no matter how vast the distance, yes the force will be so small that it will have no effect, but the field is touching it. Which means that through gravitational fields, you are touching the furthest planet in the galaxy, your beloved pets, your best friend, your last bowel movement, etc. etc. So romantic!

This game is still one of my all time favorites. I was annoyed by a spoiler in the official Dark Souls 2 trailers and decided not to watch trailers of games I wanted to play therefore I went into Bloodborne completely blind. And I’m glad I did because what an experience it was!

I loved the scenery, loved the setting, and for the beginning of it I was thinking, this is cool, fast paced Dark Souls werewolf game, I’m way into it! And then halfway through it made a turn into eldritch horror and that moment when I realized that will always live on as one of my top gaming experiences.

I’d read a bunch of Lovecraft’s stories and I really loved them but I wasn’t really into the expanded mythos beyond that and so this was the first video game I had played with this kind of stuff. I loved every minute of it, even the Chalice dungeons which I think I’m in the minority there.

Wait, what happened here? Is this picture supposed to be offensive somehow? Is there a place you can see deleted lemmy comments like you can see deleted reddit comments?

I still think mechanical watches are a pretty neat idea. I also never forget my towel so there’s some hope for me yet.

autistic/non-autistic, asexual/sexual, aromantic/romantic, trans/cis

asexual and aromantic are already based on being the negative, adding another term to reverse that just makes a double negative

Marketing perhaps?

Anytime someone says “tell me you know nothing about X without saying you know nothing about X” instead of in any way refuting the comment they’re replying to, it only shows that they’re the one who actually doesn’t know anything about it.

You know people read what you write right? Like people other than who you’re talking to? If you can refute them, then refute them, otherwise you’re just making your side look bad and you’re not making anything better except maybe you feel better patting yourself on the back with your pithy and original comment.

Yep, the whole thing was projection. You’re complaining about toxicity in comments and yet you are exuding toxicity with every word.

Maybe instead of stopping reading, you should actually read and respond to it honestly instead of deflecting back into ad hominem attacks. If you are able to actually put forth an explanation defending your position instead of attacking me, then we could have a discussion about it. What was snide about that comment? What strawman did I make? As it stands, you’re just doing what you’re blaming everyone else of doing.

The bridge on the left is the same bridge and has the same wooden flooring. It might just be hard for you to see in the shadows.

You are getting downvoted for saying it isn’t the same bridge in both pictures.

Point out the “snide” in this. They asked a question and this comment answered their question honestly. You can attack me and insult me all you like (which funnily enough makes you the hypocrite considering I did not attack you and you’re the one who was complaining about attacking comments) but it won’t change the fact the the original commenter here that you’re defending got upset and defensive about a decent comment honestly answering their question. Maybe you should check your own reading comprehension before going after that of others.

You’re giving them too much credit. Yeah it would be nice if online discussions could be more civil but the “snide” comments mentioned were not worth getting upset about and one of them wasn’t even snide at all but actually helpful and genuinely answering the question to which they responded defensively and playing the victim. That kind of victim mentality to actually helpful comments that maybe the original commenter didn’t want to hear and editing to whine about downvotes is just as annoying as moderately uncivil comments.

OK but that is not what threads like this are about, that’s just post hoc justification for emotional responses

I don’t really have an answer to that, it is an interesting question. For me personally I don’t hold any attachment or feelings to the bodies of the deceased. When I die I’m getting one of those mushroom suits that decomposes you and quickly returns you to nature. But some people are much more attached to the bodies of the deceased whether for spiritual reasons or otherwise and I can’t really speak for them. Would eating the euthanized pets cause suffering to their previous owners, I really have no answer for that, I assume there would be some people who would suffer from that and some who wouldn’t mind. The quality of the meat I think would be very low though considering it would mostly be very senior animals with many health issues.
