Have you seen Marginalia Search? I'd be willing to bet yes given you're aware of Wiby, but you never know!

Could they put it in a zip and send it as an attachment?

Anyone else wonder how some folks will say language sometimes changes related to people speaking lazily, but then you get words changing meaning/emerging with extra syllables like "irregardless" or "disorientated"?

When posts like this pop up, it makes me wonder 'bout those extra syllable words, "So how's that happen, then?"

Thanks for the detailed reply! My suspicions were that it may have been related to the complexity of manufacturing (including the materials development that's enabled it within the past several decades), but the costs alongside that had slipped my mind given the scientific reasons that would have been more of a hard block in the past.

Also across the various replies here, TIL a bunch more about what's up with PEX, which I'd not gotten around to researching. Sounds like some wicked stuff all things considering!

There’s a large overlap with “slice of life”, and a lot of these are set in school for whatever reason - YMMV.

I do enjoy anime, but a lot of them are like this and the reason's pretty clear: the target audience is often skewed younger (i.e. teens/young adults). Are the ones you've suggested set in school, or...? It's not a dealbreaker fwiw just not my first choice.

Cromartie High School is one of my occasional fallbacks for something silly & lighthearted, after all.

Not necessarily made of flesh, just alive in some strange way that's apparent. Think something more along the lines of plantlife.

Hmm, well if you have friendly forms of them I suppose you'd also have the odd pests and hostile forms, so that's not a bad response. Speaking of, if you had lamp mimics you'd have a hell of frustrating time keeping your place lit.

Although I was thinking more in terms of domesticated, benign forms of living buildings/structures.

Where might hyporetically fall into this? Hyporetically speaking, for the real theothetists that might press the matter.

Also, if you do comment why don't you not comment?

Half-jokes aside, I post as I post 'cause I don't see the questions/answers on Lemmy on a light search, albeit I may see them on Reddit or elsewhere, and want folks to be able to find responses/answers to similar questions here. Besides that I also like asking questions for more current responses than others that may be outdated or otherwise benefit from some current perspectives.

[...] I’ve even built my own blog just to have one and share obstacles and solutions I find during my developer journey, and then, once I finished and published it, I was thinking “damn, now what should I post about?” My blog is almost empty ever since then.

So, is the almost because it does cover the making of and then stops afterward, or...It's the wonderfiller text only? 😂

Someone better versed in Lemmy may correct me, but isn't comment activity more of a factor with some of the sorting algorithms (e.g. Hot/Active) here? In which case your upvotes may help but your comment may be even better!

Furries view their fursonas like mascots? 🤨 TI...L?

Thanks, that does read as more balanced, I agree. I opted for what I felt more fitting for a casual community (which is how I see this community), but you're right that in turn it's more charged.

I think I would have been more inclined to write it your way if I were posing the question to a more academically inclined community like askscience or more specifically asksociologists. At the same time, though, I think the nature/nurture framing would lend itself to its own problems as one can readily find across various papers that brush against that sharp splitting vs. a more interwoven assessment (i.e. mixture of the two).

How might you put the question otherwise?

For sure, and I failed to really get at this more in the OP, but it's because of those difficulties that in part made me wonder, "Well, what's an alternative look like?"

Individual leadership in particular seems primed for either abuse from above or below (i.e. a scapegoat for people's avoidance of responsibility).

I’d answer this by saying it is human nature.

I follow where you're coming from, however I'm quoting this little part as I always find arguments to "nature" suspect, especially regarding conscious entities which complicate this observation/thinking. You can probably guess where I'm going with this, that being, "Well, what is human nature?" which as you say isn't a criticism/dig at you, it's more of a personal quibble with the "nature" line of thinking.

Nevertheless, I lean towards agreeing with you in the sense that it may be more related to an unreflective/unconscious social predisposition of humans specifically (possibly other social species as well in their own forms).

A lot of people don’t really understand how things work. Rather than try to understand, they latch on to someone who does understand.

Wouldn't it be more apt to say that a lot of people latch on to someone who appears or acts as if they understand how things work, given the thinking that a lot of people simply don't understand to begin with?

Thanks!

Wait, are honey badgers also nigh indestructible?

Thanks!
