  • The guidance in that booklet was based off the scriptures, so you're both right 👍

  • Sure. When discussing the antichrist:

    We said, "Allah's Messenger, how long would he stay on the earth?" He (ﷺ) said, "For forty days, one day like a year and one day like a month and one day like a week and the rest of the days would be like your days." We said, "Allah's Messenger, would one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of day equal to one year?" Thereupon he (ﷺ) said, "No, but you must make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer)."

    This doesn't prove Islam is fake or real, but we should approach subjects we aren't familiar with with a touch more humility.

    Edit: worth noting that fasting runs off prayer times. Can't have food/drink/sex between the first and fourth prayer.

  • You are factually incorrect. The scriptures themselves talk about what to do in situations when the sun doesn't set (in particular with regard to prayer). To reiterate, it's not some religious thinker's opinion, but the scriptures themselves.

  • What's deeper than a single-celled organism? A virus? And what if the virus has a chef's hat?

  • Not exactly what you're looking for, but most characters in A Wizard of Earthsea resemble Native Americans.

  • They probably want to front load the headline with the most salient development, namely the identity of the shooter.

  • Yeah I also had that problem when I first joined Lemmy and did the same thing to fix it. Thanks though!

  • That must be the issue. Thanks!!

  • Might be worth noting that if I click "New", "Hot", or "Top" I see the same 2 comments. "Old" shows me zero comments. "Chat" auto-selects "New" and flattens out the comment hierarchy showing all 4 comments.

  • I don't think I have any settings that would filter out those comments tho...

  • Recently read the last book in the Narnia series (The Last Battle). There is racism hinted throughout the series, but wow that book is overtly racist. Can't believe kids are being encouraged to read that stuff in this day and age. And it won the Carnegie Medal smh

  • Eyelashes? Soul patches.

  • India is known for vegetarian cuisine due to Hinduism. Jains are a small minority.

  • This has to be the most eat pray love meme I've ever seen. Hindus are vegetarian not vegan (disclaimer: they aren't a monolith) and use a lot of ghee (milk product). That brown dude looks like a Sikh; they are typically not vegetarian or vegan.

  • Ah cool! The app I found is White Mouse, but it says it's limited to a 100 meter radius so I wonder if it's truly mesh.

  • That makes sense. I saw another mesh app that lets you transmit voice messages, so it's not real time.
