I just checked. My own pooper is more or less halfway between my booper and my feet. So since I am a rept if I were a reptile I would be measured only half my current human size.

@Blursty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I can’t see what you see about the US. China yes, but the US has been circling the drain for some time now and getting increasingly desperate to cling on to global hegemony, but it’s slipping through their fingers.

The US has placed its assets in key leadership positions in Europe in order to stifle its growth and sell its states’ assets to American oligarchs. This is for example the root cause of all of the housing crises across Europe. Destroying any chance of European energy independence by its terrorist attack on NordStream forces industry to move to the US for cheaper costs of doing business. Its war in Ukraine has resulted in the state being massively in debt to the US as well as having its land stolen and sold to American oligarchs. The next stage of the plan is to get Ukraine into the EU to have European taxpayers foot the bill.

The US will finally fall when its currency loses its place as the world’s canonical medium of exchange. After that, this soft enslavement will become a much worse hard enslavement.

I think ethically, you have to let 1 + 1 + 1… die.

To let the same hundred people be tortured for eternity is basically hell.

Lemming6969 ,

No. Reincarnation means they never really experience the consequence of death, so the latter is equivalent to no punishment at all. The more important consideration for both is how they exist between getting run over.

I dunno man, seems like you’re presupposing death is worse than eternal torment, which is debatable.

I believe OP is conflating reincarnation with resurrection. I believe the concept of reincarnation is incompatible with the hypothetical.

Stockholm syndrome is deeply unscientific. Can we stop perpetuating this drivel?

I’m so used to seeing Queen Elizabeth in this type of attire that he looks like a cross-dresser.

Wait, do people say cross-dresser anymore? 😬

elrik , to science_memes in Suffering

It really depends on the specifics of the top track. Are people added to the top track just in time to be run over by the trolley, or is the track pre-populated with an endless arrangement of people waiting to be run over.

If it’s the later case, how do people further down the track survive for an unbounded amount of time while waiting to be run over? Do they wait, bound and screaming for an eternity? How do they survive long enough to be alive before being run over?

I need to know if the top track reduces to running over an infinite arrangement of corpses. Or, if trolley time for the top track has some different meaning, such that the trolley brings an end to the finite life lived by each next person on the track.

@Karmmah@lemmy.world avatar

I think that is a very negative view on Germany and Europe that comes mainly from reading too many news. The media always report when something goes wrong, but rarely if something is working right.

One example: passenger aircraft. Boeing is struggling and China does not seem to be able to make the strong impact that was theorised. Europe is the global powerhouse in that regime. And especially Germany is really strong in a lot of areas that dont make the news regularly.

Also look at the transition to renewable energy in the last decade alone. We have a lot of ideas for the future, just not decided what we should do on a big scale.

Tech is just a market where the circumstances in the US and China with their huge domestic markets produce the biggest companies. Europe will probably always lack behind in that.

Europe is in a transition period right now into the 21st century. But both China and the US also have internal problems that will hold them back in the future.

I feel like there is some context to this meme that I am missing.

Shimitar , to selfhosted in Immutable backup for important data

Restic or Borg on your side, a safe and remote destination on the other side.

use restic, with backrest web GUI, and cannot be happier.

As for remote site, I use a remote machine I rent, but there are plenty of providers around, shop a bit… Or find a friend for reciprocal backup?

The absurd is a result of the confrontation between human need and the unending screams of the victims being run over infinitely.

slazer2au , to nostupidquestions in How do sport shooter bring their gear to international events ?

There are specific visas for athletes that allow them to bring in regulation meeting sporting equipment.

Getting a firearm across country borders is not as hard as people think as long as you research the requirements of the countries you transit plus the airlines beforehand.
Some countries will have conflicting laws though.
From memory importing a firearm out of the UK requires the case to be stickered as contains a firearm where as US laws are the case mustn’t show it contains firearms. (My info on this may be out of date)

Deestan ,

Also US law require it to be in a securely locked protective case that can only be opened by the owner.

Also US laws require all luggage to be opened with the universal TSA key that is both as secure as a toddler’s toy safe lock and easily available to the public.

Sethayy ,

Ah, America

slazer2au ,

Firearms are special and you don’t use TSA locks with them.

SupraMario ,

And the TSA is not supposed to open them. Shit gets stolen like that and the ATF gets really really pissed.

Frittiert , to nostupidquestions in Help me understand littering

Story: I was on a bus once, another passenger was a guy with a big McD Coke. We got off at the same station. Here, each station has a trash can.

So this guy walks right by the trash can and drops his fucking coke right next to it. He could have extended his arm like 10 cm more, and the coke would have gone into the trash can. But he chose to drop it on the floor.

This was years ago, and I think this day broke my faith in humanity a little.

Wow, what a conundrum. Really difficult to implement multi-track drifting with this setup.
