If only we could test this scientifically, but silly things like ethics keep getting in the way.

It is believed that people can have visions or hallucinations that will match whatever they believe in when they are dying. For some it is Jesus, for others it is nothing or memories. It is interesting to think about that when dying or being close to it, your brain will just make up whatever makes it feels the most reassured. The real question is why?

If you are using android, connect for lemmy can block instances. It is much more peaceful. It even blocks the comments from the users. Although you can have them show as you come across them if you so choose.

If it looks like a duck, walks like duck, and quacks like a duck. They might just be a UI designer.

Correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it the dominant traits will always win over the recessive traits. For two dominant alleles that do not have complete dominance, the trait can be shared.

However, for things like skin pigments it isn't so black and white (ha) there are a variety of genes that determine it. The question then becomes what are the truly dominate set of traits that would win statistically in the genetic fight if they were all mixed?

Corrected to ethnicities. However it still is used in words like interracial. So it isn't completely out of our lexicon.

Fair enough, measured at 25 and with a healthy nutrition and they do see the sun regularly. That answers the skin tone, but what about facial features? When it is all said and done, what features might take over? Like eye, nose, and mouth shape.

The only reason I refer to it that way is because it is easily understood and is how a lot of paperwork refers to it. In my opinion, it makes it sound like we we are a completely different alien species.

Do we have any current examples of a human with more than 4 or so distinct racial backgrounds? Like white and black grandparents with a mixed child with another Asian and middle eastern grandparents also having a mixed child. Then those children having a kid of their own.

If we can look like shrek, a not insignificant portion of the population would do so. I mean, who wouldn't want to look like the ideal body type?

I was betting a lightish brown skin tone with Asian feature set. However, I believe you might be closer to what it might be.

Of course, how could I not think of that?

Even so given the appropriate amount of time, where do you think we might end up?

Well you do raise a very good point. But what about wood would wheat ash?

Same here I only do mild stuff like look at computer parts, servers and burglar tools. Damn nosy bastards.

Can't say I have ever been lied to by a dog.

Good to know, thanks!

I missed the AMA, but I saw someone ask about archiving Lemmy and one of you two had mentioned that the instances kinda already do. In a sense they do, but only for subscribed instances. I feel like there could be something a bit more dedicated for the purpose of archival.

Do you have any thoughts or tips on the best way to tackle that? I have a bit of rust experience and willing to look into it.

I have no idea, but it was fine when I had tried it.

And it did what it said it was supposed to do at the time. I can't say I am surprised that this happened, but knowing its original purpose and watching the creators talk about why they made it. I am disappointed.
