There’s a kind of fish called an archerfish that shoots jets of water from it’s mouth at insects to knock them down. Those ones probably have the mental capacity for calculating trajectories to at least aim one I imagine, if you gave them a weapon modified with some kind of mechanism for one to fire it
This cannot reasonably be how mentally healthy people react though, because this would seem to suggest that the healthy thing to do is to never worry about anything at all, in which case, what utility would have led to that emotion evolving in the first place?
Personally I don’t think I’ve noticed this. Things devolving into political discussions, sure, but that’s par for the course with social media I imagine. I had assumed you meant the prevalence of Linux stuff on the all feed.
I mean, no one instance is really going to be that viable a competitor on its own, isn’t the entire point of fedi platforms that what you get is an amalgamation of all (or at least most, after considering defederation) of them?
From what I understand, it’s that foods containing lots of fats, sugars, salt etc aren’t normally unhealthy, out in the wild. When you’re worried about not starving, foods with energy storage substances like sugar are a good thing, and the amount you’ll get in some wild fruit or something isn’t bad. Salt is an essential thing to get enough of, and overabundance of it in food isn’t common. So, rather than evolve some ability to know exactly what substances we need and only want to eat food with those exact things, we have the evolutionary shortcut of “sweet things are good, fatty things are good, salty things are usually good, etc”. Our biology hasn’t really evolved to for the possibility of us farming stuff that contains sugar on an industrial scale, extracting and concentrating that sugar, and then putting unnaturally large concentrations of it in everything.
Ironically, having one of the weirder ones has proven greatly beneficial to my life, as the communities around my particular niche of it have been small enough to get to know people and make more new friends than I had ever had before, and it motivated me to start learning digital art
Both seeing this question, and seeing how many people apparently have cleaning robots, is making me realize I live in more futuristic times than I thought. I remember people getting exited about Roombas when I was very young, but not having heard much about them for years apart from the occasional video of cats messing with one, I sorta must’ve assumed they weren’t really good enough yet to be common and had never thought to look into them
