If wetness is the property of having water on something, what is the property of something in water?
I’m firmly on the side of “water is not wet” in this debate, but it’s a question that I was asked while I was high and have no answer to it.

Carrying a lot of stuff and being super busy does not make you more important than others.
The Earth has a fever
climate change benefits old money rich for mass migration means slavery and wars they love are back on the menu

I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy
Maybe it’s just because there’s less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day....
I wish my contacts packaging had raised numbers...
