“Given enough time, Hydrogen starts to wonder where it came from, and where its going.”

lingh0e,

We really are just the universe experiencing itself subjectively.

quantumfoam,

Rest in peace Bill Hicks.

Kolanaki, in Homebrew insulin or diy 3D printed meat?

They already have chocolate 3D printers, and lab meat is almost or already at market somewhere and would also actually make someone money in our largely capitalist dominated world, so I’m gonna go with that.

_cerpin_taxt_,

Chocolate 3D printers are a hell of a longshot from 3D printing genetic tissue lolol

I’m just thinking that having food safe printing stuff makes it slightly closer to reality than the other option, even if the medium would require reengineering some of the internal parts.

“What I’m about to tell you is top secret, a conspiracy bigger than all of us. There’s a powerful group of people out there that are secretly running the world. I’m talking about the guys no one knows about, the guys that are invisible. The top 1% of the top 1%, the guys that play God without permission.”

Candelestine, in Have you had any bad experiences with people on Lemmy?

Ooooohh we’ve got plenty. lol

One thing about the Fediverse is its a little less “singular” so to speak. People spread out a little more, and you get fewer bigger places where a whole lot of people mingle.

The fascist kids and the tankie kids both have Instances of their own, fairly heavily defederated with a lot of the rest. They’re about as pleasant as you’d expect.

“Strong opinions loosely held”

Implying you should have the courage to fight for what you believe is right but not hold onto them once you’re proven wrong.

I learned this as a company culture thing from one of my previous employers and not sure if there’s another source for it. I did not like that employer very much in the end but this quote has been stuck with me since and I live by it.

dudebro,

I like that.

jayrodtheoldbod, in You know any cool, lesser-known or even made up phrases?

“Gettin shitty”, my buddy’s personal phrase for getting drunk, probably hoisted from his dad.

“The enemy of good is perfect.”

saberstan,

I always remembered that one as “perfect is the enemy of done.”

dudebro,

Unfortunately, people have been conflating this to mean ‘the enemy of good is doing anything significant at all.’

“Not everything that counts can be counted”

My high school environmental science teacher.

PowerSeries,

Also check out the book “seeing like a state” if you want a whole book version of that quote, including examples in forestry, city design and education.

Iliveonsaturdays,

Oh this is a great one. I was once in a job, where we were introduced to a new system that was designed to count successes. The problem was, that it was a job where we worked with people and everything we did couldn’t be quantified. The new system only put value on what could be counted so 80% of our work became invisible and “worthless”. Great times.

srans, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

I have two that keep finding their way to be relevant. “smooth seas never made a skilled sailor” and “dont break anything you cant fix”

ChickenButt, in Homebrew insulin or diy 3D printed meat?

Can I get insulin printed in a benchy boat?

Epicurus0319, in What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?

Milking the deaths of beloved celebrities for fake internet points and people destroying their “F” keys as though someone just died in a video game, like r🤮ddit did with Carrie Fisher, Technoblade, Shinzo Abe, the Queen of England…

It’s just so pathetic and disrespectful.

notasandwich1948, in best foss peer to peer, encrypted file transfer app

I use croc or pingvin share

notasandwich1948, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

games just don’t run as smooth and I can’t use gsync with how xorg works, also everything on windows just seems to work unlike Linux. although I’ve been running a Linux server for almost a year for myself and I’m now quite comfortable with the terminal

200cc,

99% of the games that don't run as smooth on linux are games made for money by companies who think you are stupid and a junkie.

“Heroes are not giant statues framed against a red sky, they are people who say ‘This is my community and it’s my responsibility to make it better.’” Tom McCall - Oregon Governor 1967-1975.

Aggressive_Bath, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

“Psh, friends? Who needs them? They roll more off the line every day.”

Sounds super callous out of context, but the guy was incredibly friendly and kind. He had originally moved across the country to where his wife was living, and at this point they were going through a really bad divorce. I strongly suspect his local support network was entirely her friends, and they were turning their backs on him. I always took it as advice on being unafraid to remove the people who are dragging you down, and be confident that there are better ones out there.
