Capitalism is essentially alive
I think capitalism can be understood as a living entity, a being composed of billions of smaller beings (people), essentially cells. It evolves (legally and through market innovations), has an immune response (police), and grows and reproduces itself (imperialism). The cells are independent life in their own right, but they...
Dads sometimes call their kids "lil' squirt" and that's because that's all it took.
Even if god exists religion can't possibly be the way to god
So I thought about this in the shower amd it makes sense to me, like praying and stuff never worked for most people I know, so a direkt link to god gotta be unlikely. That made me conclude that religion is probably fake, no matter if there’s a god or not. Also people speaking to the same god being given a different set of...
Maybe many Lemmy users don't understand "shower thoughts" because they don't shower.
Some of the posts in this community are just crazy out of whack.
I wonder if Windows Recall will track Windows Update
Getting closer to marriage and approaching your full earthly potential are the same thing (assuming they're done perfectly)
Edit: “getting closer to marriage” is about the whole journey starting from being completely single...
The only way to do stuff that has to be perfect, is to arrange things so that *you* don't have to be perfect.
Lemmy is like a public library of the internet: it's one of the few places where you can exist without the expectation of paying either through watching ads or through direct payments
Dial Tone
Sometime, probably close to 20 years ago, but perhaps more recently, you heard a dial tone for the last time and you didn’t even realize it would be.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is like when someone gets diarrhea of the mouth when they're stressed, but of the anus
It’s basically the same thing, but out of the other end of the GI tract 👌💦💩
If 'dawg' didn't already have a very different meaning, it would sound like some sort of mythical draconid.
If time suddenly started going backwards, eating and using the restroom would suddenly get extremely awkward...
Remember when it was a big deal if you chose .zip, .rar, or 7z, etc? Now we all have so much bandwidth it doesn't matter.
Idea: government funded parties with attendees selected by sortition: "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Party" "Lincoln County Party"
Every week or every month each level of government throws a party funded with taxpayer dollars, and attendees are selected at random from the residents and given advance notice of the party schedule.
Self-driving cars will never be popular as you can't speed in them.
Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.

Silence is Violence, but so is speaking from ignorance, so maybe keep your dumb mouth shut if you don't know what you're talking about.
Hoarders must have really good room acoustics.
You kinda have to believe in real magic to study science in-depth
I think this is the biggest problem I see in people trying to understand deeper fields of study, a concept is just too large or out of our perceived reality to even make sense without years of knowledge. I think people fall into the “woo woo” just because it’s easier to not really know versus becoming a doctorate in a...
If Texas Ever Tries for Independence again, the US should Send Mexico the "Come and Take it!" cannon just to rub their idiocy in their faces.
Use volcanic ash to reverse global warming
While I was in the shower, I thought of a brilliant idea! Let’s trigger several smaller volcanic eruptions that release a semi-controlled amount of volcanic ash into other atmosphere. That will cool down the atmosphere, which should buy us some time to fix our carbon emissions....
