Why do people say "symbiotic relationship" when they really mean "mutualistic"?
Just realized that "upside down" means "the up side is down", making it upside down
I've gone to lots of secondhand stores, but I've never once seen a raspberry beret for sale.
At this point, I’m wondering if there is enough of a quantity of raspberry berets in secondhand stores to identify the kind you would find in one.
The whole concept of a forehead (hairless forehead) is strange.
Why is there no hair? It’s completely surrounded by hair. The entire rest of the head (except parts of the actual face) is covered by hair. Other animals have hair.
With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?
Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play....
Everything I know about being in my 40s is what I learned from Al Bundy
The old primary argument against panpsychism has now become the primary argument for it
Panpsychism is the idea that everything is conscious to some degree (which, to be clear, isn’t what I think). In the past, the common response to the idea was, “So, rocks are conscious?” This argument was meant to illustrate the absurdity of panpsychism....
Superman photosynthesizes
He gets his strength from the sun.
If the Spiderman character was invented today, he would be stopping school shootings
Is "food" a social construct?
Hear me out. There’s nothing innate to an object that makes it “food”. It’s an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that’s edible “food”....

Dads sometimes call their kids "lil' squirt" and that's because that's all it took.
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...
22 qr-codes can store the same amount of data as the Commodore 64's RAM.
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.
