Lol, I've had IBS since I was a kid.

Ben and Jerry's has amazing stuff. They use soy lecithin sadly, so I'm still getting a mild allergic reaction, but definitely better than dairy.

I'm allergic to milk and soy protein. Ain't no lactase pills are gonna save me.

I can digest lactose just fine. The issue is, if there's milk protein, I'm getting gut inflammation for the next week or a month.

Nice work with the pinky, man.

I mean, it does depend on whether you count white-collar crime Bernie Madoff and Sam Bankman-Fried style as theft (the statistic provided does not).

If you did, it would dwarf the wage theft, but it would also put what usually gets prosecuted as "theft" into jaw-dropping perspective, making it look like the drop in the ocean, it is.

One movie is a deeply-troubling psychological thriller about the man made horrors beyond your comprehension, that shakes you to your very core, the other tells the story of the discovery of the atomic bomb.

Fair point, I dun' goofed. It does give me some hope this could be a small sample size with selection bias though, for I'd like to believe anyone, who actually knows elementary school algebra, would simply not engage with the poll.

It's cut off at the bottom. 10 might be there, or even add your own option might be there.

Bold of you to assume people would get how parentheses work. Especially when multiplying blocks of additive parentheses (unless you'd expect to always write the expanded form, please tell me you wouldn't)

Never have been. I'm pretty sure if you did a dissimilarity matrix of me and myself at any given time in my life, at least soms of the numbers on the diagonal would be greater than zero.

I have a severe personality disorder. My identity matrix somehow has twos, threes, sixes and even some irrational and imaginary numbers in it for good measure.

Besides, everytime I try to look it up, it's completely different from what it was last time.

I have tried issuing warranty and refund claims on my existence, but I wasn't successful.

I don't think it's as simple as that. Science is messy and knowing its limitations is just as important as knowing its conclusion.

Scientific opinion can and should be able to change pretty rapidly, the educational system can't.

Besides, a cardiologist is highly unlikely to be able to reliably tell whether a neurological study's conclusions are sound, or not. Let alone someone, who isn't even a doctor.

To top it all up, the monetary incentives in academia are about as corrupt, as it gets. It wasn't so long ago, when studies about how smoking tobacco isn't actually harmful, or addictive, got published in mainstream journals (funded by the tobacco industry, of course).

The result is being taught science that was disproven 20 years ago. I think primary education should focus just as much on critical thinking as it does on learning facts at the very minimum.

Sadly we don't have the luxury of "maybe eventually" when we have already been seeing our world dying for decades at an ever increasing pace.

It's kinda like being on a slowly sinking ship and hoping eventually you'll learn to fly, rather than getting into the bloody emergency vessel.

Good to know, must have missed that. Memmy felt a bit glitchy on my device, so I'm trying out Liftoff! now.

I'm expecting there will be a bit of a development boom with the increased interest, so it's always good to keep tabs on what the other apps have to offer.

Susan made dinna... Luvely! 🤢

Some phone apps do not support that feature. Couldn't find it in Memmy for Lemmy for example, so I bounced.

You can of course always do it through the web interface.

Birds do not have periods. Most mammals don't either for that matter. Pretty much only primates, bats and like 4 other mammalian species menstruate.

The name of one of Elon's latest misbegotten hellspawns.

I hate coleslaw, but smash

I keep one in the basement. I'm allergic to non-milkman-derived dairy.
