HUMAN_TRASH, in At Safeway right now, it's Halloween up to aisle 13 and Christmas from there on.

Aisle 13 is the DMZ, where the dog food remains neutral. It waits in an uneasy peace as it awaits the day someone crosses the line…

angrystego, in Advancements in Understanding Stealthy Progression: Revealing New Insights into Parkinson’s Disease

So, if I understand correctly, the loss of motoric functions in Parkinson’s is thought to be caused by the loss of dopamin in the brain. However, motoric functions remain normal if there’s even just a little dopamin left in the system, which is surprising.

thefartographer, in Advancements in Understanding Stealthy Progression: Revealing New Insights into Parkinson’s Disease

That is a really fascinating discovery and I wonder what the next steps will be to possibly apply a treatment based on this. Also, that article was written insanely well!

Happy I’m vegetarian. This looks terrible.

Thank you for letting us know.

Metacortechs,

They always do.

max,

I mean, there’s vocal people everywhere. Without fail, when I see a picture or a video of a cow or pig being cute, there’s at least 10 people thinking they’re the height of comedy by saying “oh yummy, steak/bacon”.

Metacortechs,

No question about that, and I find it equally irritating.

Rolando,

I bet this one doesn’t even pocket-mulch.

Metacortechs,

Shameful

AxleGrinder,

There are people talking about eating meat here more than saying they won’t… why do they get a free pass? What’s really the difference here?

jimbo,

The people saying they’d eat a meat product in a thread about a meat product aren’t here just to wave their smug superiority around.

darq, in My cheap unbranded lamp has a red flashing mode. Just figured out it's flashing SOS in moerse code.

As a South African, that typo is moerse funny.

gaussian_distro,

Damn SwiftKey!

Rouxibeau,

Eli5 how being SA is relevant.

mateomaui,

I think it’s because the translation is “huge” or something.

darq,
@darq@kbin.social avatar

In Afrikaans that word is used to add emphasis, like "damn" funny. A bit impolite, but pretty common.

Imgonnatrythis, in Guinea Pig for sale at the local market

Pretty genius. Should sell more pets this way and cut out the pet-store middleman altogether.

They’re alive right, how do you thaw them out, I assume the microwave would kill them?

Schmeckinger,

Fun fact: the microwave was invented to thaw shock frosted mice to revive them.

collegefurtrader,

What

Cort,

That was one of it’s first uses, but not why it was invented. Originally used for food and tested in restaurants and kitchens.

Also the rats weren’t technically frozen, just close to freezing…

    danielbln,

    How is this different from eating pig or cow? It’s all mammal in the end. People eat rabbits too.

    Earthwormjim91,

    No it’s for people. Guinea pigs are raised for food in Peru.

    HikingVet, (edited )

    Yeah, can’t see it for any other reason than large reptiles. Though the people I know that keep snakes usally prefer live bought rats.

    Edit: Thank you to those who pointed out my lack of culinary knowledge in an informative manner.

    @zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

    Well, it’s like a Cornish game hen, just not for people in North America.

    HikingVet,

    Ah, well maybe certian parts of North America. I used to work with a guy who ate seagull eggs (from a small fishing outport in NFLD) and appartently they are not much different from chiken eggs. TIL.

    essteeyou,

    Guinea Pig is on the BBC’s list of 50 foods to eat before you die. Or it was when I started eating my way through it years ago. I think it’s the only one I haven’t had.

    eestileib,

    Nope, people food in the Andes.

    3arn0wl, in found a confusing bolt cleaning my parents' garage

    What a remarkable bolt! Can it come and do my place when it’s finished?

    My first thought - aww, what a clever little bolt, and cute to boot!

    They also turn APCs, like the M113 Gavin into simulated tanks.

    Kangie,

    It’s just the M113.

    Gavin is a made-up designation by one Mike Sparks who earnestly believes that it’s the best vehicle ever made and replacing it was a terrible mistake.

    If you added wings and bolt on some javelin launchers though you might make Mike proud.

    I added it just for you.

    These vehicles play the part of the opposing forces in training exercises.
