the scientific name for gorilla is “gorilla gorilla” so i think that ship sailed before sailing was invented

And American Buffalo are “bison bison.”

DontNoodles ,

I don’t know what it actually means but the scientific name of Indian Cobra is Naja naja and in Hindi “naja” means “Don’t go”, which seems very apt.

quicksand ,

An excellent warning sign. Fuck looking at stripes, the Indians get it

Now that’s some dank strains. Someone needs to be at out critical mass and blue dream, and I think we found our man… Facelikeapotato, we don’t deserve you, but we need you

This isn’t actually true though. Most dinosaurs have been named in the last 100 years. In fact 85% of them have been named since Jurassic Park came out.

StorminNorman ,

Correct. We are currently in a golden age for unearthing new dinosaurs. Pretty much every week there’s something new that we have found.

audaxdreik ,

Is it actually finding new stuff, though? Or just refining classification methods to better identify what we already had lying around?

Theres funny names for beetles though

Theres a beetle named after beyonce, iirc

Cause it’s beetles all the way down

dingus ,

There’s funny names for everything really. There is a gene that scientists named after sonic the hedgehog.

Finally I can replay Outer Wilds.

Delta_44 ,

EXACTLY, I feel the same

Pinklink ,

Yes. Good god yes. Was disappointed by the dlc though unfortunately. I want to like it but I just don’t.

But also replay Inscryption

TheAndrewBrown ,

It honestly was too scary for me. I don’t do horror games. The angler fish in the main game was almost too much for me

OtakuAltair ,

Such a great game. I’d also play through Undertale again with this

ultrasquid ,

I can play Omori without having been spoiled!

jayrodtheoldbod , in Reality for thee, not for me

We don’t care about indickted, only convicted, give us a holler when the real thing happens. Orange jumpsuit to match his face, cuffs, perp walk, call me when I can see it or don’t call me.

Some folk have not watched this worm slither off the hook again and again, and it really shows.

They better name a dinosaur after Skuntank!

Now advertising companies would pay to slap the name of their brand on dinosaurs:

  • Cocapteryx colacerus
  • Teslasaurus muskatus
  • Primeraptor amazonii

Drumpf is like Mr. Satan, except Mr. Satan is in better shape. But just like Mr. Satan even Yamcha could whoop his butt. And just like Mr. Satan there’d be no end to the stream of excuses how he had the sun in his eyes or it was all rigged or Yamcha cheated or …

I’ve opted to pronounce it either Jgif or Gjif, that way I piss off twice as many people.

If everybody suddenly becomes poor then we call it a Depression or a Recession or something like that.

If everything suddenly becomes expensive then that has the same effect.

Is that what’s going on here? Are we experiencing one of those second things? A “sneaky depression”?

Blamemeta ,

The Biden admin literally redefined recession. If we used the same definition, we’d be in the worst recession since 2008.

Interesting, thanks for the link - at the very least, things are trending upwards so fingers crossed we are through the worst of it for the time being. Which is probably 8-10 years, it is cyclical.

This is aimed at the person i originally responded to. General thoughts about about political agendas couched in loaded language below. Nothing is apolitical, and everyone has an agenda. The key is to figure out what it is.


“Worst recession since 2008” is one of those phrases that sounds almost like the economy is just as bad as 2008, but actually doesn’t mean much of anything.

For demonstrative purposes I’ll use some arbitrary numbers here.

If we rated the 2008 recession at an 10/10 on the badness scale, rated any recession between 2009-2022 as a 2/10 at the most, and rated the current recession we’re in at say, a 4 - I could say that this is the worst recession since 2008, and it would not be untruthful.

Language is deceptive.

ponfriend , (edited )

No, we wouldn’t be, Mr. Negative Karma Throwaway. A recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. The US had exactly two in Q1 2022 and Q2 2022 before going back to positive growth. The US had a much larger recession in Q1 and Q2 2020 before a big recovery in Q3 2020. statista.com/…/percent-change-from-preceding-peri…

Blamemeta ,

You still care about karma?

froghorse ,

I actually didn’t know that I’m at negative karma. Can’t find it in this app.

How does my personal summed karma score bear in lemmyland?

Blamemeta ,

I don’t know either

froghorse ,

If my point really isn’t crystal clear

The prices going up has the same effect on my power to buy stuff as everybody’s income going down.

GiddyGap ,

Please retake Economics 101.

MrFagtron9000 ,

Housing is the thing most exploding in cost.

About half the population already owns a home so they’re immune to this problem.

The other half is just moving to shittier and shittier conditions and living with roommates and family members.

Plus this is a very regional problem. Housing in shithole flyover places is still somewhat affordable.

If everything went up five times in price over the last 20 years then it might be a better argument for saying we’re in a depression.

froghorse ,

Speaking as a fellow who lives in “shithole flyover” (and is darn glad for it) my electric bill has recently tripled and food has doubled. That’s big.

(We refer to the big cities as “insane anthills of filth” btw)

RegularGoose ,

About half the population already owns a home so they’re immune to this problem.

Don’t forget, many of those people won’t be alive much longer, and many of their houses will not be passed on to family, but sold off to pay off debts owed by their estates, and will end up as more overpriced rental properties.

TropicalDingdong ,

A “sneaky depression”?

Shy depression.
