So... Can you pet a turtle throught its shell?
YouTube just told me again about how turtles have nerve ends on their shell and how they have a decent amount of sensibility through it. Also, I’ve seen videos of turtles being social and helping one another and, finally, while this is apparently a bit rare, I did know people who owned iguanas who had some small attachment to...
Assuming time travelers are real, but only influenced events so far back enough that a smartphone they lost in the past didn't survive for archeologists to find, how far back are we speaking?
And what were the dominant terrestrial species at said time? Would there even be any? I have zero idea of what’s the expected survival rate of an iPhone in the fossil record, but I like to imagine a giant sloth stepped on one once and we are none the wiser....
Why is there so much hate against children here?
It was the same on Reddit, people openly say disturbing things against children. What prompted me to post this is someone saying that babies should be put in overhead bins inside airplanes. Even if they’re joking, this is a disgusting thing to say. I won’t say that about anything else....

I trapped a raccoon in my chimney. So... what now?
This raccoon has been destroying my roof and scaring my dogs at night for months and I finally had enough.

If the body's natural temperature is about 98 degrees (F), why does it still feel really hot when the ambient temperature is 98F?
Shouldn’t it be the most comfortable temperature? 🤔
Small children are well known to be afraid of voids (closets, under the bed) in their sleeping area. Knowing this, why don't we design children's rooms to eliminate them?
I’m not a parent, but going by pop culture, it seems like literally every child has the same fears....

Is there a way to show or view replies to deleted comments?
Currently on Lemmy, when a comment is deleted by its creator, all of the replies to that comment become “hidden”. If I know who replied, and I go to their profile, I can still see the replies. The count of the number of comments indicated next to the post also includes the “hidden” replies. However, the replies to the...

If bullshit jobs are *really* bullshit, how do businesses justify the expense?
Businesses are in it for the money, employees tend to be one of the larger expenses, so maintaining some bullshit positions that would cost them money doesn’t make fiscal sense, so what’s up?

What's up with the end-to-end encryption notification all over the whatsapp?

How can I stream while remaining anonymous?
I want to create a live stream using AI voice changer and deepfake technology. I don’t mind the avatar being realistic or anime. I don’t need a VPN, and it’s fine if the streaming platform recognizes me as long as my personal information isn’t revealed to the viewers. I’m looking for recommendations on the appropriate...
Question for software developers: how do you organize your To Do list at work?
I’m asking because I’m wondering if there’s a more efficient way for me to handle my notes at work. Currently I just use a txt file in Notepad++. I use this file to track all of the stuff I have to do, such as tasks for stories I’m working on, next steps for projects, discussions I need to follow up on, questions and...
