A million better alternatives exist. I was curious about them.

Every evolutionary trait is coincidence. If it was adaptation we’d be able to regrow vital organs.

No living thing has a feature “to” do anything. That implies decision making, which is intelligent design.

Tigers have spots on their ears, which can confuse attackers.

Tigers did not develop those spots “to” confuse attackers.

The first time I used VI I typed a few characters, then hit backspace to delete some characters. Backspace doesn’t delete characters. I closed VI and never opened it again.

Right now it’s popular to reduce words to three letters. On god. Mid. No cap. The trend seems to be removing as much information as possible while still leaving the meaning intact. It’s an art form in the slang world apparently

Wasn’t this one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the entire series? Why was this specific scene used as a meme It just feels so irreverent

why is “interest from women” the last item? anon claims Greek lifestyle but ignores that the ancient Greeks normalized homosexual behavior? .

It’s a funny meme but it reeks of ignorance and entitlement.

I’m brand new to Lemmy.

I’ve seen multiple comments suggesting that .ml be defederated. It was the first thing I saw when I got here. Sounds like there’s a bad apple and nothing is being done about it

It’s called a fucking ferret? That’s adorable? I want one? wtf I’m screaming

Are you a software developer?

I’m new to Lemmy, how does defederation occur?

I don’t need to have a replacement ready. It’s enough for me to say that the current system does not work.

Abolish the death penalty.

And what is that reason?

That’s like saying I don’t need to clean my room if I can just shove everything into the closet

I don’t know if the comparison is inaccurate.

You make money from advertising to your users (“ddg situation” notwithstanding), are beholden to your investors (private status notwithstanding) and need to see more users to increase revenue. The person above you is saying that this model is what will drive you to eventually be as bad as Google. Do you understand?
