ImplyingImplications,

I’m vegetarian. Western food is so focused on meat that people often have no idea how to make a meal that doesn’t contain it. My mother once asked me how to make a vegetarian version of Chicken Parmesan. So keep the tomato sauce, cheese, and spices, but swap out the chicken with pasta. Congrats you’ve made vegetarian Chicken Parmesan. I like to call it Spaghetti.

ImplyingImplications,

Tell that to all the amateur porn creators! Lemmy is severely lacking content in that category unfortunately

ImplyingImplications,

People don’t realize how much data is collected, how it’s analyzed to determine things about you, and how it’s given out to nearly anyone. Here are some concerning examples that hopefully speak for themselves.

Data from fitness app Strava was used to locate secret US military bases in Afghanistan and Iraq by some random guy on Twitter. He did this by pointing out people running in squares in the middle of the desert. Imagine what America’s enemies could do with this information that this company will sell to anyone.

Ad company Xandr allows you to target audiences with labels like “Recently purchased a pregnancy test”, “Has a large gambling debt”, and “Has depression”. Once again, this is freely available for anyone to purchase. These tracking companies find out things that are very personal to you and then sell that info to people who might not have your best interests in mind.

Last but not least. Governments and law enforcement can access this information at any time for any purpose. Do you really want the government and police agencies to have a database of people grouped by their religious and political beliefs or their sexual orientation?

Hopefully you can see why the information being collected and given out to anyone is concerning. As to how to avoid it, I’m not sure there is any way besides government regulation. Maybe someone else has some answers!

If you scroll through the community bans of World News@lemmy.ml, you’ll see there’s a mod going crazy handing out months long bans for having the wrong opinion on the current conflict. Mods aren’t beholden to anyone but themselves, so if that’s how they want to mod then that’s how it’s going to be. Thankfully, Lemmy has hundreds of communities discussing the conflict so you might find better mods in one of those communities.

ImplyingImplications,

Exactly. People shouldn’t misunderestimate the power of using a word wrong.

ImplyingImplications,

It’s possible to change your personality. Most people have several. You probably don’t act the same way towards your best friend as you do towards your boss or towards a random stranger. Sales people change their personalities to match the person they’re trying to sell to.

If you’re talking about changing lifestyles and habits, that’s absolutely possible too. It just takes a lot of determination and repetition.

It’s even possible to turn 360 degrees and walk in a different direction (as long as it’s a moon walk)

ImplyingImplications,

t-thanks

One time a girl in my computer class kept asking me for help. She’d ask me to stand behind her and point to where she should click. She asked if the view was nice, which was weird since it’s just a computer screen. Eventually, she decided I should move her hand while it was still on the mouse. That happened a lot and I always thought “wow this girl really doesn’t get computers.”

I was in my late 20s before I realized she wanted me to look down her top and touch her hand. She must have been thinking “wow this guy really doesn’t get women”

ImplyingImplications,

From his Wiki page, he is in hiding and his army has all but entirely disbanded. It also notes that by 2012 he was already in hiding and and the US was already providing Uganda with military assistance against the terrorist group he founded.

ImplyingImplications,

These all sound like insults I’d hear in a Monty Python sketch

ImplyingImplications,

My ex is fat now too. Now I know why she would always ask me “Would you still love me if I was fat?”

ImplyingImplications,

Same. I have the widget on my phone where my home screen has a little owl with motivational messages about keeping up your good learning habit. By 10PM it turns dark red and there is no more motivational message. Just an evil stare by the owl. That’s usually when I get around to doing my lesson…

ImplyingImplications,

Technically it’s bigotry since it’s Indians hating other Indians, but yes, India has a lot of problems and those in power mostly ignore them.

ImplyingImplications,

If you’re actually trying to manage your weight, do not increase your physical activity. Reduce how much you eat.

Most sites say running burns around 60 Calories/km or 100 Calories/mile. The average person burns 2,000 Calories a day by existing. If you ran a 10k every day, then you’d be using 2,600 Calories a day.

The difference in effort between “existing” and “runs a 10k every day” is massive, but the difference in Calories burned is equivalent to a large fry from McDonalds. So would you rather run a 10k or just take the fries out of your order?

ImplyingImplications,

A core memory of mine was learning a cool math trick in school and coming home to tell my dad about it. He very coldly told me he didn’t find the trick impressive because he already knows math. That was the last time I ever came home excited from school.

ImplyingImplications,

For anyone wondering, salmon’s pronounciation comes from the French word . The French word comes from the Latin word salmo. When smarty pants scholars decided on how words would be spelled in the middle ages, they thought salmon should have an L in it since the Latin word does (screw with all those dumb people who don’t know Latin!)

ImplyingImplications,

Hey, is that Simu? Not every Asian man is-HOLY SHIT IT’S SIMU!

Unable to access a certain community

I’m getting an error when trying to access the PC master race community on lemmy.world “couldnt_find_community”. I can’t even read my own comments on there. Strange, considering as far as I know we haven’t defederated from .world. Anybody know how I can fix this or should I message the admins?

ImplyingImplications,

I wondered that when I saw whitepeopletwitter and animetitties in my feed. You can name communities anything you want here! You don’t need to use subreddit names that were created in protest of other subreddits. Just name them Tweets and World News.

ImplyingImplications,

The reaction works with any liquid with dissolved C02. The Mentos are very rough and act as nucleation sites for C02 bubbles to form. Diet coke happens to have a lot of chemicals that act as foaming agents (aspartame), which creates a bigger reaction. Apparently this process has actually been studied by University physics professors!

Why do posts from other communities on my server don't send all the comments/reactions?

I’m just starting with lemmy, so this may be a very basic question, but why do these numbers differ? I’ve searched for and subscribed to cats community for example. Why all the comments/reactions haven’t been synced?...

ImplyingImplications,

So I think what you’re saying is that you’ve created a Lemmy instance and joined a community from another Lemmy instance but you can’t see all the posts?

My understanding is that your instance will only start syncing content from that community AFTER someone on your instance joins it. If you’re the first person on your instance to join cats then you won’t see anything from before the moment you joined, but you will get all the content that is posted after you joined. If you aren’t the first person on your instance to join then you’ll be able to see older posts.

ImplyingImplications,

This is great for women who want more representation of their unique challenges and for men with a fetish.
