some people just can’t handle the fact they’ve aged out of the target audience.

oldfart ,

Ageism

coyootje ,

If this is really the case, then where are the movies that are intended for older audiences? It feels like almost all movies are for a younger target audience nowadays (if that’s what you want to call it). You can argue that Oppenheimer is one but besides that there haven’t been many big movies for older audiences this year.

yata ,

That is not what is going on here. They are using very recognisable terms from right wing social media propaganda. These are brainwashed morons with a political agenda.

Neuraxis , to mildlyinteresting in As God is my witness, I didn't know earwigs could fly.

I regrettably went to wiki to read more and found this unsettling fact:

“The largest extant species is the Australian giant earwig (Titanolabis colossea) which is approximately 50 mm (2 in) long”

DAZ4518 ,

Why would you make this worse for us?

XbSuper ,

That actually isn’t as scary as I expected it to be.

Awwww yeah! Smells like a juicy promotion!

I know, the actual answer is a massive volcanic explosion akin to Krakatoa in 1883 that cooled the planet by 2.2 degress Fahrenheit.

derf82 ,

Mount Tambora was even better. But sadly volcanic winters are temporary, but release a ton of CO2 and methane that just can cause later warming, not to mention acid rain from all the hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide forming sulfuric acid in the atmosphere. Maybe we need a few in a row.

intensely_human , to mildlyinteresting in As God is my witness, I didn't know earwigs could fly.

They probably couldn’t before, but it got revised in a mandela effect update.

Also the rumors that they got their name by burrowing into sleeping people’s ears is grossly exaggerated. There have been no double blind studies showing this conclusion, and the Himalayan artwork depicting earwig-zombified villagers attacking a temple has been debunked as popular fiction art from the 14th century.

I could have sworn that last part was true

intensely_human ,

The science is settled. Aside from the reports of ancient historians, rumors of earwig apocalypse are without sufficient supporting data to rule out alternative explanations.

Behaviorbabe , to mildlyinteresting in As God is my witness, I didn't know earwigs could fly.

A few of these made it into my house and my cat saved me from two crawling on the bed. I’d rather swallow a spider than have these things crawl on me. Idk what the ick factor is.

cal4 , to selfhosted in As we seem to be sharing dashboards....

off topic, I know, but I want that but for my life. net worth, credit score, weight, 1 mile run time, general wellness, etc…

rarkgrames OP ,
@rarkgrames@lemmy.world avatar

That would be awesome. Although I feel like it would be depressing opening a dashboard that showed 0, 0, 1 hour, bad etc… :)

tburkhol ,

This was a huge benefit of my self-hosting. I started with just file server and mythTV, but mythTV uses mySQL, and once I had a db running, I found all kind of other uses for it. I’ve used Quicken (2012) to track finances, but then I figured out I could use my brokerage’s API to get the raw data and make my own graphs. My rowing machine has an API to get all kind of metrics, including a heart monitor. Environmental sensors. I haven’t gone as far as ‘smart’ scale, or a wearable that would track sleep. Then a bunch of python to make pretty graphs for web pages.

Honestly, I think it’s the pleasure of seeing new dots show up on the rowing graph that keeps me doing it.

waitmarks , to mildlyinteresting in As God is my witness, I didn't know earwigs could fly.

That is actually why they are called earwigs, its an old english word that’s describing the shape of their wings which kind of looks like a human ear.

tintintin ,

Holy fuck!

june ,

So you’re telling me it’s NOT because they like to crawl into your ears while you’re asleep?

meanmon13 ,

This is blowing my mind right now… Those things gave me nightmares as a kid thinking they crawl into people’s ears…

waitmarks ,

No that’s just an old wives tale.

Chailles ,
@Chailles@lemmy.world avatar

If you want to lose the solace that fact has provided you, here’s another possibly also false but no less comforting bit of trivia:

spoilerLeeches after feeding would love nothing more than a dark, somewhat moist, somewhat warm, somewhat tight environment. Which a human has and is probably something you don’t want a leech to get anywhere near, be glad there’s no such thing as a Analwig. Oh and land leeches exist.

Oisteink ,

In Norwegian they are called Klypedyr. Literal translation is pinching-animal (although we call it an insect). I always though that was scary as a kid, but I see now my trauma is tiny compared to ear-infesting-wig-wearing thingy. I still don’t like them, but I tolerate them

RetroEvolute , to mildlyinteresting in As God is my witness, I didn't know earwigs could fly.
@RetroEvolute@lemmy.world avatar

How else you think they get up in them ears?

Established_Trial , to mildlyinteresting in As God is my witness, I didn't know earwigs could fly.

Well that’s terrifying, thank you for this new fear

PhoolCat , to lemmyshitpost in Say it ain’t so
@PhoolCat@lemmy.world avatar

It’s the heavy amounts pf processing and adding far too much sugar that does it.

Bin the bread bun and have the burger with a nice fresh salad and decent cheese and you’ll live longer and healthier.

Hank ,

Cheese isn't healthy. Ground beef neither. I couldn't think about anything healthy you could use as a burger sauce.

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

While cheese may not be healthy, it’s not necessarily unhealthy either. It’s got a good amount of protein, iodine, and b vitamins. All of which are very important and usually lacking in other foods (particularly the iodine and b vitamins). Are there options with similar nutrition that are better for you? Absolutely. But I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily bad for you either

TheKoala73 ,

Cheese is certainly not unhealthy. In addition to what you already listed it’s also a good source for calcium.

This is the worst news I’ve received this month.

Powerful, making propaganda for a private company.

I could have been much happier not knowing this.

New fear.

Bonesince1997 ,

Exactly what I thought. Thanks for the new fear, brotha! I hated these guys growing up. Think I still do. They were always around a pool changing area, and that set a fear in me for life I believe.

Grabthar OP ,

I didn’t see these until I was 10 or so, when we moved further south. They were equal parts cool and horrifying, but they made my mother uncomfortable. So she would call the kids out to mash them if she saw one. Became a regular service. We even drew up a logo for it at one point - a kind of cartoonish earwig with the no symbol around it.

Bonesince1997 ,

That’s great! Thanks for sharing that. 🪳🚫

Grabthar OP ,

On the plus side, it’s a glide rather than a powered flight, and it’s apparently rarely done.

ittu , to world in Update: The hottest 21 days ever recorded were the last 3 weeks

yeah two weeks ago it pained me to leave the house cause the heat was unbearable.

shalafi ,

I live in NW FL, I’m active outdoors and quite used to the heat. I haven’t mowed my yard in over a month, it’s 3’ high. Can’t go to my camp in the swamp, my favorite thing.

My gf is from the Philippines and it’s too hot for HER.

pfannkuchen , to world in Update: The hottest 21 days ever recorded were the last 3 weeks

In Germany it’s colder and wetter than usual while in southern Europe they’re boiling. Crazy weather.

theolodger ,

England, cold and rainy.

JJROKCZ ,

Just like the last several millennia there lol I remember the Brittons melting last year though right?

Ronno ,
@Ronno@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, same here in NL, rainy summer so far

pfannkuchen ,

Yeah the problem I have is when ppl say climate change doesn’t exist because today is moderate, meanwhile they ignore the droughts and floods elsewhere. I’m happy for our farmers and our rivers but next year could be completely different.

saplyng ,
@saplyng@kbin.social avatar

The more that climate change continues we will see more and more extremes of weather. So cold places might get colder and hot places hotter, as well as more extreme/frequent storms. It's not a super great time for the environment

VanillaGorilla ,

I'm not too mad about the colder weather. It's been too dry the last few months anyways.

soEZ ,

The weather will be more like a monkeys paw…u wish for a bit more rain…here is some floods instead…

VanillaGorilla ,

Yeah, I know. But currently I got the sweet end of the lolly.

soEZ ,

Well the big shaft of the lolly might be just around the corner, enjoy it while it lasts, I’m sure it will enjoy you when the time comes…depressing…

VanillaGorilla ,

Sure, but what else can I do? Recycle more? I'm almost vegan already, but that won't help much. So I'm enjoying the rain while it falls.

soEZ ,

Oh I don’t mean to imply you can do or have to do anything… Haha. Sorry if it came off that way. Just making depressing comments…
