Just a reminder that species do go extict, but these flowers are not a new species. This is not really creation. To be fair it could lead to some in the future. Evolution of new species takes some time.

At first glance I thought this was a programming post.

how do i pick out a good avocado

Edit: 10/23 I took a lot of advice from here, I bought an avocado yesterday and I tried it today. It was perfect! The taste was incredible. I didn’t need to salt/season it to hide anything. I am in a different state right now but when I get home I’ll buy one at home using my knowledge I now have and hopefully it’ll be...

I’m only able to buy a good dark avocado, so I can’t help you with the green type. I buy them when they’re really soft to the touch, more like the mentioned tomato than like a cucumber, but not so soft that I could deform them. I love putting avocados on bread instead of butter, so I prefer them really soft. I don’t use lemon nor salt, I like them just the way they are.

I’ve recently seen the episode of the Orville with Picardo (s02e03) and was reminded how good he is - his character has a great arch there and he sells all the emotions so well!

angrystego ,

Or perhaps english is not their first language and they really meant “feelings for me”.

angrystego ,

I think what was meant was not them being declared traitors according to law but being declared traitors publicly to move the public opinion.

angrystego ,

This used to be true and perhaps still is in some places, but in some European countries the laws have changed a bit recently which means bad time for pharma companies. They now don’t have enough finances to bribe doctors effectively. (Source: family member in European pharma.)

It is white when seen from space. Here on Earth, the atmosphere disperses the blue part of the spectrum so that the blue sunlight comes to our eyes from all directions, making the sky blue. Without the blue light, the sun appears more yellow. So the color depends on your point of view :)

angrystego ,

I’ve noticed this too, it’s rather sad.

angrystego ,

This is very coutry-specific. I think we’re seeing some cultural shock on different sides in this thread.

angrystego ,

Lemmy.world has been pretty stable recently.

Well, the second place is more crafty, but where’s the fun in that? There would be huge amounts of similar nice pictures in the competition. The first place makes me laugh and uses a way to look at the dog shape that I haven’t seen before. I prefer this added value to perfect technique.

So if I understand correctly, the study suggests the driving factor might well be longing for social dominance and sociopathic traits and not necessarily sexual frustration.

angrystego ,

Why write “Hell” and “Welcome” when you can have “Hellcome”?

angrystego ,

I think this is a good point, even if unpoppular. Physical activity can help a lot with sleeping. Colleagues, please, notice there’s “many of us”, not “all of us” in the comment before you downvote.

Neurodivergent people are not a homogenous group. You can be neurodivergent in different ways and it influences communication in different ways. It is improbable that one of the neurodivergent subgroups is frequent enough to turn out to be an overall majority. But you’re not talking about majority, so what portion of the population would it have to be?

angrystego ,

I see two rather young looking faces framed by grey or white hair (I’m a big fan of natural greying) and with terrible outfits that make them look much older. So to me it seems that finally we have a better fashion.

angrystego ,

I agree that rescues are great, but this sounds kind of pushy.

angrystego ,

Yeah, so am I. But the commenter could just ask in a neutral way first. What is the OP supposed to answer now if they bought the cat? It kind of puts them in a bad light in that case and I don’t think that’s necessary.

angrystego ,

Ok, goddess of virility made my day. TY

angrystego ,

Wasps are all pollinators, they just don’t make honey si people hate them.

angrystego ,

Honey Bee is not even in danger at the places where it comes from. People brought it to America and now it competes with local pollinators.

angrystego ,

I would say it’s many people working together who also have abnormally amazing brains.

Wait, why bukkake? What am I missing?

angrystego ,

Except what mushrooms stick out above the ground are not snorkels.

Why is cooking a food item method called different things by what the item is, or what is the criteria?

On the Food network they boil potatoes, but they poach carrots. They poach turkey, but they boil eggs. They sauté’ onions, but they fry eggs in the same pan. Likewise, they fry hash browns, but they sauté’ onions in the same pan before adding the potatoes....

angrystego ,

So is Saute the same or similar thing like stir-frying?

angrystego ,

If you hand me a poached egg, I’m not going to take it because I can see it has no shell and it’s going to be all over me staining me with the runny yolk. Now if you gave me an egg with a shell and told me it was a soft-boiled egg, I would think about the consistency.

angrystego ,

Ah, ok, thanks to the both of you!

angrystego ,

This doesn’t work as a rule, my experiences are completely different!

angrystego ,

I’m sorry you were downvoted, your experience is as valid as anyone else’s. I think it just means the downvoting people have cats who enjoy bellyrubs, which is actually kind of nice to think about. Great to hear from another cat person and rescue adopter!

angrystego ,

Oh, you do have very interesting and varied cat experiences! Is there any chance of a Vibe cat-tax? It would be nice to support his internet log with a picture :)

angrystego ,

Aww, I can see the picture! He’s a super handsome cat with a super derpy expression :) Thanks and please send scritches from me!

angrystego ,

I love cat stories with good endings like this one. I also have a rescue at home. She was found in a street being very skinny and telling everyone how hungry she was (she’s very vocal). The doctor who did the basic necessary treatment and who fixed her said her age was about 3 years, but she was rather small and very very naive at that time, so I’m pretty sure she was no more than a year old.

Her youth probably helped her to adapt to mostly indoor life. She still tends to eat too much too quickly, so I leave a spoon in her bowl to make it more difficult for her to suck in everything in 3 seconds and then throw it up.

At first her belly was 100% a trap, but now, 4 years later, she’s quite fond of belly rubbing.

Continents rearrange themselves very slowly. The change will be gradual. There’s no reason to think that life, including mammals, will not evolve during that time to cope with the change.

angrystego ,

I agree with you when it comes to the ostracizing problem. I would just like to remind you that not everyone is psychologically identical to you. Some (perhaps many) people CAN get PTSD by looking at a picture of a terrible crime.

angrystego ,

I don’t think willing participants count ;)

And not just that, healthy bone growth is stimulated by regular use of the bones - so going outside again.

Russian history is said to be easily described by a single sentence: And then it got worse.

angrystego ,

I agree with you when it comes to human history and science development. The quip is aimed at Russian history specifically, and as with many jokes, you have to be attuned to what it jokes about to enjoy it (the different eras of suffering of common people in Russia and the turbulent changes that often lead to more suffering). It’s just a joke though, it doesn’t survive deep scrutiny.

Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans?

Dear lemmy, someone very close to my heart is starting to fall into conspiracy theories. It’s heartbreaking. Among other things, he has now told me that soy beans are not supposed to be consumed by human beings and is convinced that despite the literal centuries of human soy bean cultivation and consumption, we shouldn’t eat...

angrystego ,

This is more complicated, as is often the case. The phytoestrogen in soy does have similar effects on people as human estrogen, and the effects can be rather positive (regulation of weight and better insuline sensitivity). Source here.

The same review mentions potencial negative effects and concerns: “In adult male rats, exposure to dietary soy decreased androgen levels and prostate weight.” and “In humans, the use of soy or purified phytoestrogens in women at high risk of, or diagnosed with, breast cancer as well as in infants fed with soy-based formula are legitimate areas of concern.”

Both beneficial and adverse effects of soy seem to be understudied. For more information about soy phytoestrogens and both male and female fertility, check out this article.

angrystego ,

It’s a review based on a number of scientific papers that research either one or the other. I think based on the results of the studies the authors decided it was safe to write about both phytoestrogen contained in whole soy and the purified one, because the concerns connectedto both these things are similar. I think that’s legitimate.

angrystego ,

Come on, people, what’s up with the downvotes? This is a very obvious /s and I appreciate it as a response :)

angrystego ,

As I see it, people keep developing mental constructs to make the experience of their own existence feel more meaningful, more important and potencially eternal, because the thought of insignificance and eventual death is just too scary.
