  • Even better, those studies are testing dietary fibre generally, not just oats, so anyone eating their daily fruits and vegetables is already getting that benefit.

  • The image is a reference to this analysis done in World War II, which might seem to suggest that the planes need more armour on the wings and tail, but actually shows that these areas aren't important and that the engines and cockpit need armour if the plane is to survive to make it back to base (where the stats are correlated).

    The surviving planes showed a bias in the data that leads to an incorrect conclusion, just like the surviving woody gymnosperms makes it seem like there weren't non-woody gymnosperms.

  • Businesses like having an app on your phone because they can update it to fix bugs, add features, track your activity and send you notifications/ads when they have something new to sell.

  • I remember sites where you could play games and bitcoin was basically used as a score/prize - if I'd spent half my lunch hours playing I'd be set for life nowadays.

  • To ELI5 this, this happens when whoever made the webpage put a text layer above the image - probably on purpose to make it harder for people to download the image.

  • It didn't say in the article who the previous five were, so I looked it up:

    • Belgium (2016)
    • Austria (2020)
    • Sweden (2020)
    • Portugal (2021)
    • United Kingdom (2024)
    • Ireland (2025)

    That's using the source quoted in the article.

    Another source has a longer list:

    • Belarus (2015)
    • Belgium (2016)
    • Austria (2020)
    • Sweden (2020)
    • Portugal (2021)
    • UK (2024)
    • Slovakia (2024)
    • (Ireland would be here if/when updated for 2025)
  • I can see it, btw. I'm using Voyager on Android and see a spool of blue cable.

  • Some of this is paving the cowpath - the animated PNG stuff is 20 years old and e.g. Firefox has had support since March 2007.

    I'm OBSESSED with Diagonal Elevators in Games

  • “Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State,” Trump continued.

    If he hasn't done anything wrong, why does he need a pardon?

  • OP's link is just an incomplete summary of the real article

    That source post has this Bluesky quote:

    Vice President Vance’s account was briefly flagged by our automated systems that try to detect impersonation attempts which have targeted public figures like him in the past. The account was quickly restored and verified

    Also, that it would have been heavily flagged by users was probably part of it.

  • Does the series spoil the books? I haven't started watching or reading yet, although the first book went on my to-read list four years ago.

  • I think a lot of people don't realise how much of what makes "them" them is gut biome and your brain retrospectively assigning yourself agency for actions your body decided on (flinching from hot surfaces is one).

    We just keep finding more ways that gut bacteria influence our diet and behaviour. And if you obey your gut flora and eat sugar instead of protein, you'll allow them to increase which expands their influence over you. Or that part of you, since where's the line?

  • Imagine stumbling upon a fully operational pink refrigerator, stocked with cold beverages, nestled incongruously in the heart of this arid wilderness. It's not a hallucination or a mirage—it's a deliberate and whimsical creation by the Namibia Tourism Board, designed to surprise and delight weary adventurers.

    Those two sentences pretty much cover it.

  • Seem ok to me, both in grammar and what it's saying about the change. O(N²) to O(N) would be an exponential drop (2 down to 1, in fact).

  • Not using Lemmy, but there are other options that can do both thread/Reddit style and microblog/Twitter style like mbin. Personally, I find them so different that I'm happy to stick with different accounts on different sites.

  • I'm not sure I understand your reply, but if your second sentence is saying that this image is AI-generated then you might like to know that this building is in Belgium and there's other photos online.

  • I was watching the gameplay of the old Amiga Spy Vs Spy the other day (didn't seem as good as I remembered)
