lowleveldata, in Confused with Santa

Maybe they mean playing Satan as the villain in a Christmas hero show where they have Jesus (and other 4 saints) in spandex suit beating Satan up with a giant mecha statue of Mary

But there is an element of fun about being defenestrated

No background check required

That’s an odd thing to specify. Like, OK, maybe you don’t run a background check because of time or resources, but why put that in the ad?

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

This way they can scrape the bottom of the barrel salary wise

usualsuspect191,

Because it’s a joke ad (doubt it was ever even printed in an actual newspaper)

It may be, but defenestration is one of my favourite pass-times ❤️

Also would have loved it if defederation was called defedestration. Literally yeeting those communities out of the window!

Do you happen to work for a man that goes by the name Vladimir?

Im a top in this case solely due to the wrestling move potential. Bout to suplex my brother back into the womb.

bottom. i am afraid of heights

the fact that i’m tall doesn’t really help

Viking_Hippie,

So I guess you don’t do a lot of standing up? 😛

I love reading the comments of the insecure dudes for whatever hobby it is rage about girls who are better than them at it. The insecure man who is breathes deep smells so good, and the mental gymnastics they go through are hilarious.

It’s not a real ball

The video is stiched together, with only the best takes

Yeah, right, someone went through all that effort

You’ve seen Robocop Scene 27 right? Yes…someone will absolutely go through that much effort.

Yes, but my point is that that is the exception not the rule.

What us men need to learn is that we don’t have to be the best at everything. Women aren’t a threat to our identity because the excel at something. The fact that we exist is enough. Same goes for women.

On top of that, the thing we usually get our trunks in a twist about (hobbies) aren’t important. Wow. You can lift 800 lbs, or hit a below par game of golf. When are you actually going to need that? It’s more important to be a decent human being first.

E: LOL at this being a controversial comment. Who knew that saying people have inherent worth and value was a hot take.

chakan2,
@chakan2@lemmy.world avatar

It’s kind of a shitty comment. I’ve needed to lift 400lbs and going scratch in golf is a lifetime achievement. Gender is irrelevant for those things…if you can do them, you’re an awesome human.

It’s not threatening if a girl can do those things. I’ve met women that can out squat me and will utterly smash me in golf (from the same tees). They were great people.

What’s cool to me about carnivorous plants is that they do need sunlight. A Venus flytrap would die if it had no light. It just also needs to kill things.

Now there is a plant that doesn’t photosynthesize. It’s a species of orchid in Japan. It doesn’t need light because it’s parasitic, getting its nutrients from fungi.

news.mongabay.com/…/new-parasitic-plant-doesnt-us…

MightyGalhupo,

Huh, neat

numberfour002,

There are lots of species of plants that don’t directly rely on photosynthesis. Many are essentially sub-terrestrial parasites, getting their “food” from fungi and sometimes even other plants. It’s seemingly more common in orchids, in part because the family generally already has a strong reliance on fungi as part of their general reproductive strategy.

A small add-on:

Usually, plants get most their nutrients from the soil, most importantly nitrogen (but also P, K and some others).

In some locations, such as swamps or very sandy soils, there is not a lot of nutrients for the plants to get and these “nutrient-poor” soils are usually those where carnivorous plants live. They simply get the nutrients from insects, which consist of yummy proteins made of nitrogen.

So basically one should not really wonder why carnivorous plants need sunlight, is has not much to do with mineral nutrients in the soil. Plants do photosynthesis by taking up CO2 from the air and using energy from the sunlight in order to produce C6H12O6, Glucose. And I guess this is also what the japanese orchid steals from the fungi - sugar.

Of course these processes do not work completely independent from each other. But Glucose, the product of photosynthesis, is not really considered a nutrient, that would be carbon.
