Y’all showed up for this post! Lemmy is looking better all the time :)

Not a funny thing to say before going out, but when I was about to do the mask I thought about what it would be like to be totally unconscious after I die, and woke up laughing and cracking jokes. It wasn’t so bad during the procedure when my awareness was off 😜
the continued existence of recoverable information
This phrase helped something click. Thanks for collapsing a wave function for me with all that information 😜

Hi! My less-than-10-year-old has their own iPad (registered under my apple id) and wants to be able to “text” with the rest of the family.

What is the most promising pathway to reach universal healthcare?
Let’s assume we want all people to have health care. What are the steps / methods most likely to get us there?...
What non-SMS non-Apple app can I use to "text" my younger kid on their iPad

I have a neuroscience joke, but it probably won't meet its action potential (lemmy.world)
