I just realized how incredible it is that we don't have toes growing out of our ears.
AFAIK it all boils down to the fact that during embryonal development our cells, which at that point were just a blob of undifferentiated autonomous chemical machines, somehow managed to unanimously agree upon the cardinal directions (up-down, left-right, front-back) for future development - and thanks to this, we don’t have...
Isn't it weird that we'll never (ever?) talk about lightnings as a potential renewable energy source ?
Seems to my ignorant eyes that we could always somehow split the power received into more manageable units, even if it has to be splitted a million times, 🤷♂️.
People would use "Hide all political posts and comments" more often than any other filter
We did it Lemmy!
Perhaps this is a dark thought… but I’m wondering what the future Lemmy equivalents to “We did it Reddit!” or “Thanks for the gold kind stranger!” will be....
Starbuck milkshake is like tobacco
Just realize: They call coffee, but unless I order black coffee, anything else feel like milkshake....
Is cave exploration an indoor or an outdoor activity?
You’re indoors in the sense that you’re protected from the weather and the elements, and the cave could even have some kind of covering or entrance area that could be considered a door or doorway. People have built homes in caves....
A "Healthy Amount of Cheese" is always an Unhealthy Amount of Cheese.
I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.
The probability of losing your life to a cosmic ray bit-flip is increasing daily
Star Trek transporters
Transporters work by de-assembling something (e.g. you) and re-assembling it somewhere else. What if, when you’re dis-assembled, you die, and the re-assembled version of you is essentially a copy? Then every time someone steps onto a transporter, their final thought before death is that they’ll end up beamed somewhere else....
"Don't judge a book by its cover." is a bad idiom, because bookcovers are desinged to represent the content of the book.
Bud lite lost more in revenue partnering with a trans spokesperson, than Corona did for having the same name as a virus that caused a global pandemic.
What a time to be alive.
Does Big Ben imply the existence of a Little Ben?
BONG BONG BONG...
The word "phonetic" is not spelled phonetically.
Hair probably had an important function at some point in human evolution but now it's mostly cosmetic
There's a reason why some people hang toilet paper over while others hang it under - it has to do with folding, and they don't want the paper to hurt

We should have an annual Mega Cake Month for all of those who joined Lemmy back in June, to celebrate our move away from Reddit.
A fat chance and a slim chance are the same thing
I pronounce there and their differently
and I can’t really describe how. Their is more like a they with an r on the end.
You probably can recite 2 birthday songs from memory, but only 2.
If humans had 4 arms, we'd probably have some pretty wild musical instruments
Linux has less than half of Linux’s desktop share (www.theregister.com)
Not mine but sounds like a showerthought to me. TL;DR ChromeOS is the “wrong” version of Linux and has 4% while GNU/Linux has 3%
Some Lemmy users refer to communities as sublems. In which case we can conclude that all posts and comments are subleminal messages.
Why is there a lukewarm but no lukecool?
The reason everyone thinks Americans have no culture is because their culture is prevalent everywhere.
Most cultures stand out but American culture doesn’t because basically everywhere has some sorta American influence.
