Since I saw that primates have a sense of humor, things like this don’t surprise me as much, because it’s not like they’re similar to us, it’s that we are very similar to them. It’s natural to share many traits.

I’ve always wondered if cells created viruses, or if viruses are a natural consequence of complex genetics. They look so useless, having no need to reproduce, yet killing cells to do it uncontrollably. They don’t even feed, what is their purpose?

– Sir, you need to walk a bit to recover faster.

– Take my signs already and don’t interrupt me!

Let me guess: the protagonist would be an until now unknown but close Sisko relative that behaves very much unlike a career Starfleet officer.

Imagine your time machine has spiders at the time of your arrival, because it had a small defect that grew into an opening after several years.

“Ha ha, I can’t see anything, but it seems like time travel tickles”

For USAians, a fifth of a kilogram is 200 grams, almost two quarter pounder burgers.

I didn’t know the song was offensive, don’t know how it entered my library!

What a bunch of marigold flowers, any sign of trouble and they immediately backtrack. If they’re going to be horrible people, at least have the courage to admit it. There’s plenty of scum who would associate with them regardless.

But it guarantees we’re good fuckers.

It seems I need to file a complaint then!

Very big caveat: while our primate cousins manage to eat some meat from time to time, it was our domestication of fire more than a million year ago that allowed us to access plenty of calories and nutrients from almost any food, everything was suddenly on the table, and was made easy to chew and digest. We are more omnivorous than the naturally omnivorous animals.

Conversely, it’s surprising to see fruit so high up, while fish and poultry are in the middle. Does this mean only vegetarian people eat healthy? Hardly believable for an omnivorous animal like humans.

Tepache. It’s a Mexican fermented drink made with pineapple peels, piloncillo, and a few spices. It’s delicious, refreshing, and super cheap… well, until some entrepreneur eventually discovers it and makes it ultra processed and expensive.

Woah there boi, we prefer the name “Reddit Expats”, we no simple refugees or immigrants

Maybe not that obscure, but Joe Celko’s Nested Set Model gave me exactly what I needed when I learned of it: fast queries on seldom-changing hierarchical database records.

Updates are heavy, but the reads are incredibly light.

That could be a fancy door though

Conversely, empath the fuck up and don’t push your problems on someone who also has them. Both struggles, as minor as they could be, are valid.

The biggest flaw is that it assumes you’ll add conditions you’re not explicitly told are allowed. Many, many problems in school would be trivial if changing the terms beyond what’s stated was allowed.

Hobbies are certainly gender-biased. I haven’t met a female iron scrap sculptor in my life, ever. Conversely, I have known several (five IIRC) female painters, but only one male painter.

Disclaimer: I mean real life meeting, social networks or YouTube don’t count. YMMV.

What’s wrong with being selfish? I didn’t want kids, full-time kids are annoying and a huge responsibility. If someone doesn’t desire children, it’s very much ok to dedicate the energy and resources of raising several kids to themselves.

People are selfish, reproducing doesn’t exempt you from being selfish, people can have kids for selfish reasons too.

I admit sometimes I’ve thought it would have been cool to raise a human from zero, trying to make them a good person, and be a demigod to them on their first years because they didn’t know better; but I still think the world needs less people, not more. Since the 70s we were warned about overpopulation and the environment, and we just added another 4 billion people anyway.

Edit: thank you for the correction, kind stranger.

I always wanted to grow a beard, and the confinement was the ideal situation to see if it suited me. Never shaved since then, and I think I never will. Beards are great.

This whole genre of comics is so cringe, they’re basically moral outrage click bait with cartoons.

They have this in common:

• Low-effort drawing (at least this one is not that bad)
• Forced scenarios to put characters at the polar opposite of the moral spectrum.
• Trying so hard to generate indignation.

I don’t mean that the problem isn’t real, but this is a circlejerk with too many cartoonists already. In a few years we’ll be embarrassed of having participated in this trend of imaginary situations while doing nothing IRL.
