XYZinferno, in Nine years ago I pondered how strange it would be if a pandemic quarantine resulted in wearing masks everywhere and not going to the movies...

Thank fuck Covid didn’t have symptoms as horrific as ebola

We would all be fucked if covid had a mortality rate over 10% so imagine ebola’s

scytale,

On the other hand, more people might take it seriously when they see infected people bleeding from all orifices. Then again, with all the crazy shit covid deniers have done/said, who knows? They’d probably still blame 5G.

octoperson, in I made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong!

Did anyone else learn that eggs are dairy products? (Meaning, the word ‘dairy’ encompasses both eggs and milk. Not that eggs are somehow produced by cows)

NikkiNikkiNikki,

Yes, and for some odd reason a lot of folks I know who are lactose intolerant are also slightly allergic to eggs..

Vacationlandgirl,

Yes! Never really thought to question it though… now I’m re-thinking everything I thought I knew about food clarification!

ThisIsNotHim,

I had attributed that to our fuzzy food categories. Some of which are due to how ingredient usage doesn’t map well to botany, some is just marketing.

I suspect the perception of eggs as dairy could have shifted for practical reasons: lactose intolerance became more visible, and we needed a short way to say milk and milk products, without using the word milk.

korfuri, in This guy floated down into my neighborhood the other day

Paragliding is an unforgiving sport: you’re gliding, hoping to find updrafts to give you some more altitude so you can reach high enough to cross to another spot that hopefully also has an updraft, etc.

At a guess, this guy was hoping that he’d find a last-resort updraft in this area. OP, do you live maybe in a small-ish built area surrounded by fields or forest? Those tend to get hotter than their surroundings and are great for updrafts. But generally you don’t want to land in residential areas, there full of obstacles which make for unpleasant landing conditions.

Ugh, happens to me all the time when I get overconfident trying to hammer in bolts.

At my old job we had some of these on the wall for hanging our hardhats.

Kelly, in If you look up the definition of 'bully', Duckduckgo gives you results from a 19th century dictionary

It looks like DDG is using wordnik as their source for definitions.

For this word they have four definitions each with a different license:

  1. Formally all rights reserved but now out of copyright and in the public domain
  2. GPL-2 (but based on an out of copyright proprietary dictionary)
  3. CC BY-SA 4.0
  4. Alll rights reserved

www.wordnik.com/words/bully

Of these licenses the first is the easiest to work with. It comes with the fewest restrictions and transfers the fewest responsibilities to downstream consumers.

The OP definition is available in context here:

I think it’s the whites of the eyes. Typically on most dogs you don’t see that much.

GiddyGap, in "Do you live in the Midwest?" by self-report

Very surprised 42 percent of Coloradans and 25 percent of Idahoans would say they live in the Midwest.

anakin78z,
@anakin78z@lemmy.world avatar

Well, 78% of Americans think that Idaho is Iowa, so this doesn’t shock me.

rappo,

but I thought Iowa was in Idaho? which is it?

LifeInMultipleChoice,

How could Iowa exist within a potato?

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Maybe one of Idaho’s clones is in Iowa. He’s got a lot of 'em.

IvanOverdrive,

They aren’t clones. They’re gholas. Like, dude, get your terminology straight

Mnemnosyne,

Well they’re right…they live basically in the middle of the west.
