Ephera, to memes in What is even in there?

I’m guessing, because the circles inside the box look kind of phallic…

Ephera, to potatoism in This is deep

Objection: Sweet potatoes.

Their name says they’re clearly potato, but:

Sweet potato is only distantly related to the common potato

Ephera, to memes in Accio gasolina

You’ve got some of the cheapest gas prices in the US, so I’m not sure anyone needs to import your complaints…

For reference, here in Germany, it currently costs around 1.70€ per liter, which is $6.97 per gallon.

Ephera, to memes in Spices too

Yeah, it’s a bit of a stretch here. The comment is intentionally mixing things up for comedic effect, but it’s not a direct switch of anything…

That’s an existential crisis I’ve had after starting to eat vegan. Suddenly everything in your cupboard is a plant, with the exception of salt and sometimes mushrooms.

It’s just like: I’ll now eat this noodle-shaped plant with this pureed plant and this protein-rich plant and I’ll also throw in some tasty plant shreds. Maybe I should also have some plant leaves with a dressing out of plant oil, fermented plant juice and this plant seed paste.

But then I realized that meat, eggs, cheese, milk, and even mushrooms, they’re all just processed/digested plants, too. So, there’s only plants and salt. Which really didn’t make the existential crisis any better, but at least we’re all in it together. 🙃

Does this help?

It’s kind of an internet culture thing to respond like that…

Ephera, to linux in Where can I ask questions about iproute2 tools?

I don’t think posting to the linux-netdev mailing list is a terrible idea. For example, here’s someone who did post a question: marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=170628444014400&w=2

But well, you might also be running into a bug or something that could potentially be exploited, or maybe just into a lack of documentation (which is also a bug). Either way, some devs might be interested in knowing about this.

Ephera, to linux in What are some must have Linux compatible VSTs?

Ah, I didn’t know more modern versions of the VST standard specified a Linux interface. I thought, they were still just basically EXEs with some metadata attached.

Ephera, to linux in What are some must have Linux compatible VSTs?

Uhoh, I’m using the LV2. Do you guys really run the VST through WINE? I was glad, I didn’t have to look into that…

Ephera, to linux in Breaking Windows to let the penguin in...

Well, it’s not like more advanced distros are built to not work. Rather, they work better for different focus points.
So, I would encourage people, especially those with a techy background, to take a look around eventually, but yeah, your conclusion to that journey may as well be that Mint was nice, actually.

Ephera, to lemmyshitpost in Ask a stupid question...

I had to read up on it just now. The abbreviation stands for “Young Men’s Christian Association” and apparently, it’s about as gay as it sounds, which the song celebrates.

Ephera, to memes in Mommy's Choice

Personally, I just don’t think pregnant women need legal restrictions here. I imagine, ultra-conservatives think that more liberal women just have tons of unprotected sex and gladly risk getting pregnant, because they can just get an abortion.

But I’ve never seen that actually being a thing. Women will generally use some form of contraception to avoid getting pregnant in the first place. And if they do get pregnant, I have never heard of any woman, who took the decision to get an abortion lightly.

I believe that no woman will apply a lower moral standard to her unborn baby (or not-yet-baby, whatever) than our moral standards for human life in general.

Outright prohibiting abortion is not a higher moral standard, because you’ll have many cases where the outcome is worse for everyone involved, e.g. when the baby is already dead, but cannot be removed.

Ephera, to lemmyshitpost in consequences

I’ve heard before that it helps a lot, if you eat a lot of fiber…

Ephera, to lemmyshitpost in consequences

Because spicyness isn’t really a taste, it’s rather just pain. The various spicy chemicals (capsaicin, piperine, curcumin etc.) essentially just irritate your skin.

Ephera, to comicstrips in elders

…a.k.a. suckers. 🙃
