Xariphon, to asklemmy in What sci-fi-esque inventions are the most plausible and could happen soonest?

Now I'm wondering how long it would realistically take for that to become a not-insane demand. I know data storage multiplies pretty rapidly, but not that rapidly, so are we talking decades or centuries?

Xariphon, to mildlyinteresting in My local coffee shop has a no birds sign on the door. It is placed at eye height for walking birds.

I had a bird in my basement last summer. Scared the hell out of everybody until we realized it wasn't a bat. Then it was just a matter of herding the panicky little idiot back outside.

Xariphon, to asklemmy in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

Homemade ice cream is worth it if you have the equipment for it, by which I mostly mean the actual churning machine. All the custard and stuff is a lot fiddlier if you don't have a stand mixer or a family member to mix for you, but it's still doable.

Baklava. I love it. When my aunts make it it's always amazing. But holy crap if it isn't the most tedious, fiddly, obnoxious stuff to make. And that's if you're not also making your own phyllo dough... all like six miles of it that goes in a batch one vapor thin layer at a time.

Of course they did. ACAB, all places, all times.

Xariphon, to asklemmy in Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years?

Seriously fuck winter

I hate this timeline.

Xariphon, to memes in “Stop or I’ll Say Stop Again!” Yells Mom Known for Empty Threats

Thankfully not all parents are physically abusive.

Xariphon, to asklemmy in Former religious lemmings, what made you quit religion or stop being a believer?

Survived eight years of Catholic school and read the Bible cover to cover. Between the flagrant hypocrisy and neglect in the school system and seeing the contradictions and bullshit in the book with my own eyes (and how nobody in the church even remotely tried to live up to the good parts), I just couldn't anymore.

Then I read about the Bible and its history, from the Council of Nicea to the confession letters from later translators. I saw that it's essentially a multilingual game of telephone weighted with politics, salesmanship, cultural eradication, and so forth, and it really became laughable to me that any thinking person could possibly ever take it seriously again.

It becomes easy to dismiss the rest when you realize they're pretty much all telling the same fairytales.
