BilboBargains, in As California’s redwoods recover from fire, an astonishing fact emerges

These trees are some of the most fascinating, awe inspiring and majestic life forms I’ve ever had the privilege to witness. I planted three of them in a field (a big space is required) and it makes me happy to think that one day there could be this enormous trio breaking the skyline. I’ll be long gone but they are growing crazy fast already.

gravitas_deficiency, in Henry Kissinger, America’s Most Notorious War Criminal, Dies At 100

Good fucking riddance. The amount of damage he did to the world and humanity in general is incalculable.

Cossty, in Arnold Schwarzenegger Was 'More Than Happy' to Give $1M to Strike Fund: “Have To Give Something Back”

Stallone, on the other hand, is doing commercials and promoting his documentary.

Buffaloaf, in Global solar installations projected to jump 56% this year!!

The nation of Buffer is about to go crazy with solar, good for them!

DoomBot5,

Yeah, but only in the unknown region.

Well I don’t know about that than.

PatFussy,

The shadow realm is actually mostly powered by solar now

regalia, in Apple Formally Endorses Right to Repair Legislation After Spending Millions Fighting It

I wouldn’t call this uplifting. They’re doing so I’m bad faith as this almost entirely is focused on them.

salton,

They will find a way to make it as inconvenient and uneconomical as possible while publishing how environmentally conscious they are.

bigkix, in Neighbors call police on boy asking to mow lawns to save for a PS5, officers pitch in to buy him the console

I am usually against yelling “racism” to every single bullshit, but I wonder would this posh neighbourhood react the same way is it was a white boy.

Rinox,

Depends on how he’s dressed. Dressed like Eminem in the early 2000s, probably yes. Dressed with a pink polo and khakis, hell no.

reverendsteveii,

How do you think those same people in that posh neighborhood would describe how eminem dressed in the early 2000s?

neighbour who the fuck mows in a polo and khakis

Athena5898,

No

RedditWanderer, in California redwoods 'killed' by wildfire come back to life with 2,000-year-old buds

Does this surprise anyone? Wildfires are good for forests and a natural fertilizing process. Most trees explode spreading seeds and it clears the dead stuff on the ground.

Keeping forests from burning entirely over the last 100 years is making for crazy wildfires.

This is what I keep saying, yet everyone gets all pissy when I set the forests on fire.

UlfKirsten,

You’re telling them beforehand?

cmbabul, in A Critically Endangered Sumatran Rhino Successfully Gives Birth In Indonesia

I guess I got to be the asshole to point out that those eyes look like glued on googly ones

CompostMaterial,

There are, in fact, such things as ugly babies.

cmbabul,

It’s true, some of my friends have them, it’s terrifying

BastingChemina, (edited )

Have you ever seen a humain baby right after birth ?

Our brain is wired so we still find them kinda cute but without hormones and context we would probably find them ugly.

mriormro,
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

It’s incredibly cute!

ChucklesMacLeroy,

I must be one too. I’m with ya.

cmbabul,

I appreciate your solidarity with the truth

ChucklesMacLeroy,

I’d buy that shirt.

ickplant,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

In general, it’s quite derpy-looking. But I am glad it was born 🥰

admiralteal, in Single mother with 6 kids gifted car refurbished by high school automotive tech students

"We got this poor person a free car~" stories are basically ALWAYS orphan crushing machine stories.

Mr_Blott, in US student, 14, wins award for developing soap to treat skin cancer

I believe in this guy 110% simply because of his massive Carlton vibes

moistclump,

Strong Carlton vibes. It’s true.

yenahmik, in Just 2 minutes of walking after eating can help blood sugar, study says | CNN

Walking is one of the best things you can do for your body. I never thought much of it until I got a dog and started taking him on walks a couple of times a day. I had no clue how much better regular walks would make me feel, despite being relatively healthy and active before.

Rilichu,

Especially if you’re getting up in years. Even just some light walking everyday helps significantly in preventing or minimizing osteoporosis and muscle atrophy. Plenty of mental benefits too as well.

At a point, a sedentary lifestyle will rapidly catch up with you both mentally and physically. It also becomes a “use it or lose it” when it comes to bone and muscle health and significantly difficult if not practically impossible to reverse once it starts to fail.

somethingsnappy,

Interesting that a post meal constitutional or post-parandial has been a staple for so long.

Nioxic,

I have a friend who started doing 30-60 minute walks daily. He was diagnosed with depression… he feels much better these days (over a year later)

Now he can even bother to go to the gym etc

railsdev, in Denver experimented with giving people $1,000 a month. It reduced homelessness and increased full-time employment, a study found.

So how many of these “experiments” do we need to have until we make some policies based on the results? I see this all the time, but it’s always just that: an “experiment”

Illuminostro,

Because it means the money will be going to those people. The people with excess melanin.

Got_Bent, in Mexico supreme court decriminalizes abortion across country

So those saw blade bouys on the Rio Grande are meant to prevent southern migration now?

ArugulaZ, (edited )
@ArugulaZ@kbin.social avatar

Why are Texans so sadistic, anyway? They throw babies into rivers, they put blades on buoys... what makes them so bloodthirsty?

samsepi0l,

They got theirs and don’t want anyone else to.

SuiXi3D,
@SuiXi3D@kbin.social avatar

Not all of us are that way. Some of us have been voting blue our whole lives with little to show for it.

RubiksIsocahedron,

Narcissism. Sadism is how they feel powerful - otherwise they’d be constantly reminded of their weakness.

FurtiveFugitive, in 8 years and still meeting for Thanksgiving

I upvoted this only so that more people might see this went from wholesome to scummy side hustle. Maybe next year we won’t hear about these people at all anymore. 🤞

rrrurboatlibad,

Sorry, I missed the scummy part. I’ll check it out

porcariasagrada, in Henry Kissinger, America’s Most Notorious War Criminal, Dies At 100

83 years too late. how other people can be around such a monster and not bash is fucking head in is baffling to me,

masquenox,

They’re too busy taking lessons form him… aka Hillary Clinton.

tryptaminev,

why is this downvoted? Clinton expressed multiple times in the last decade that Kissinger is a close consultant and mentor of her.

theguardian.com/…/hillary-clinton-henry-kissinger…

masquenox,

She’s a holy cow for liberals… just like Carter and Obama. And all of them are war criminals, too. Liberals just love their little “good cop” routine.

porcariasagrada, (edited )

people don’t really know how much of a cunt hillary is.

edit: they have the same friends and work only for the group they belong, the 0.01%

Zehzin,
@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

Among the terrible things republicans did, there’s making it impossible to point out how much of a terrible person Clinton is to well meaning but manipulated folks

porcariasagrada,

hey. remember gwb? invaded iraq, caused the death of millions. now spends his life painting. remember his vice dick? they love hillary. its mutual, after all they belong to the same group.

Dick Cheney dead next? 👉👈🥺

Synthuir,

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”
