Mercii

I have a bodybuilder friend who was like the most popular guy during the first year of med school because everyone would use him as a model to study muscles cuz if you touched him you could feel a lot of the different muscles.

yep its all ✨infrastructural inertia✨

because on paper thorium and fusion are both way ahead of uranium but the world has invested billions of dollars over 80 years into creating infrastructure for uranium.

Thorium is the Fusion of Fission.

Since the 60’s we’ve been told that thorium tech is just around the corner and it will replace uranium.

Not everything has to be about earning money.

Early youtube was beautiful precisely because it was normal people making videos as a hobby, not trying to earn money.

Since this came right after a post from !theonion@sh.itjust.works on my feed i honestly thought it was the onion.

I have a chronic bacterial infection thats thankfully still localised but like its been six months no mattwe what medicines i get prescribed its still there i think my body is failing i hope it doesn’t turn into sepsis 😭

because honestly im chronically ill so if I had sepsis its basically just my usual daily symptoms how would i notice 😭

Space stopped making sense,

walls laughed,

directions stopped directioning,

the endless maze of hallways became the process of living.

It’s been influenced by both spanish and french cultural erasure to the point modern catalan is quite similar and readable to people who speak Spanish or French. (Though still quite a distinct language).

Merci per la idea de negoci. (/s)

(In many places, we burnt the garden).

We’ve been shaping ecosystems through fire for so long.

That article’s on my to read list now, thanks.

It’s so fucking surreal to me how much megafauna extinctions have happened in the past 50’000 years.

I don’t think people realise we had like giant land birds (3+ meters tall), megasloths (elephant sized), giant kangaroos roaming round not that long ago.

Biomass is the usual way this sort of data is presented in environmental science. I think calling it “propaganda” is a bit much. But yes if would have been better if that were clear on the infographic.

It feels nice to feel seen and not be dismissed as a political issue for once. Thanks.

(the latin alphabet is the same alphabet english is currently written in.)

German and Italian manage to be phonetic using it.

You dont need IPA to make it phonetic though:

You can stick with latin and just make phonetic rules consistent so if you hear a word you automatically know how to spell it. Like in german.

“We found the fossil halfway up Virginia”

“WHO THE FUCK IS VIRGINIA AND WHY DOES SHE HAVE A FOSSIL INSIDE HER??”

Oh, interessant! Mein Deutschlehrer hatte ein Lernburn aus 1985, vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum ich es so gelernt habe.

I’m armchair Freuding a bit, but I think that’s one of the reasons “Femdom” type pornos seem to be enjoyed by some men.

Like I totally get wanting a woman to take control. But the “femdom” stuff online tends to be degarding, straight up mean. (Which some people like and is okay, but it’s more mainstream than I’d imagine).

Yes. But phonetic languages phoneticise loanwords.

Ie. In Japanese the word “coffee” has bexome a loanword. But they don’t keep the unphoneticised english version. They phoneticise it to fit with their pronounciation and it becomes kohi.

(This is complicated of course by katakana and such but just an example. German tends to so the same, since it’s phonetic.)

Ie. German Kaffee from turkish kahve, or German Komputer from english computer
