Despite its reputation, coffee is continually correlated with health benefits in statistical studies. This is not something made up by news agencies. But honestly, I don't get it either. I drink lots of coffee, but it can upset my stomach and give me the jitters. It just doesn't intuitively seem like something that should be healthy.

Isn't this more of a consequence of reddit's user count? How is Lemmy less vulnerable to bots?

King Kong on PS2

I use both, which is why I never touch myself🧐

Checkmate, managers

I figured there was an explanation like that. I also thought maybe they just had parallel version names for stable and experimental. Still reads funny to me.

Now that there is an old Dell Inspiron. I had one with that shell ca. 2006.

There's this worry that high intelligence itself drives you to be more dismissive of other people. I don't really think that's the case. I think intelligence can help you understand and sympathize better with other people.

Anyway, if you go by IQ, the upper one percentile score about 135 or higher, so that's where your dividing line would be in raw numbers.

But since intelligence is distributed in a continuum, it wouldn't make sense for everyone at or above 135 to consider everyone else equally 'dumb' - even if they did choose to use the IQ-scale to gauge everyone's 'stupidity'.

To do so would be like you getting first place in a spelling contest by a single point and then concluding that the person in second place (and everyone following) must be completely illiterate.

All that being said, the one percent really are very far from average. One way of putting it is that these people are further from the average than average people are from the 'extremely low' range (>69).

One of the reasons I recently opted for the M1

x / x = 1

really shouldn't make anyone upset

Do bubbles burst?

Does the 'original speed' mean what the natural playback would have been? So 60 minutes of audio burned by a x60 drive would take one minute?

Oh, is that what those multiples meant? I never realized.

I like Nano's

Given that iPhones have had at least IP67 rating since 2016, you probably just want to dry it off and move on.

An embryo results from the fusion of an egg and a sperm (both are called 'gametes'), and although the embryo is initially more reminiscent of an egg than a sperm, it is not itself an egg (or a sperm). The person I replied to is conflating eggs and embryos.

Not trying to defend the ruling, but it's not eggs, it's embryos

Because of the fedora-wearing neckbeard stereotype.

To anyone who might be moderating a report over me in this comment chain: I am pretty confident that among my many opinions on all sorts of things are some you would label transphobic.

I'm also strongly against what you're doing with this extension. I think therefore I deserve to be labeled as one of the 'bad people'.

I am fine with anyone blocking me. I absolutely agree that doesn't somehow 'infringe on my free speech' or whatever. My concern was about self censorship, social pressures, enforcing taboo within communities that would use tools such as this. I think the real victims of labelling 'good' and 'bad' people by color will end up being the members of the very communities that embrace this kind of idea. It does absolutely remind me of an episode of Black Mirror. I think it's a very 'dark path' kind of thing, whether people might find that dramatic or not.

"go meet your neighbors and make some connections that matter" - is pretty condescending. My neighbours are nice. Danish woman and a Polish guy. But then again, I can't see their 'color', so who really knows.
