I read this thing's entire wiki page and it's fascinating!!
Imo it's not even an animal it's just a collection of cells that can survive on their own but just don't want too
It will rip itself into multiple parts spontaneously because cells don't coordinate too much. They don't have dedicated neurons but they have a decently complex peptide based protocol.
You can put a single Trichoplax animal through a sive that is fine enough not to damage the cells but separate them, and the cells will reform into the same animal
They can reproduce sexually but they don't have any of the markers that all males of all sexually reproducing species have. Plus because they only ever sexually reproduce when there's a high density of Trichoplaxs, it's basically a pattern of Trichoplax cells choosing to break away and combine with other cells to create new individuals.
They're just about as simple as e.coli and they're the simplest animals with about 50mill base pairs divided into 6 chromosomes
They can take the organelles of the cells they eat just because. The wiki article calls it symbiosis but that implies that organelles are alive and I don't think they are. I think Trichoplaxs can just take tools from other creatures to use.
I'm really insomniac due to mental health stressors and chemical imbalances. I honestly might die if I don't use meds to put myself to sleep for 2 weeks straight.
That being said my meds are correcting the chemical imbalances. And I get to notice as I try to fall asleep after a high stress day I'll ruminate too hard and I'll stay awake after the "put-down" pill wears off, (then I gotta decide to give up on sleep all together or damage myself more with another pill).
I'm not a doctor (just traumatized). Ruminations come from anxiety sometimes, try to recognize what you're actuallyactually doing to prevent yourself from sleeping.
Yeah this is that kind of rules-lawyering grey area that everybody's too busy to deal with. It's the same issue with the assault rifles and large mags.. they're very clearly weapons of war but they look like guns and all* guns can be used for hunting.
I work from home in a house next to a highway, I regularly allow myself to scream outloud at the top of my lungs without any consequences. But I got a cat afew months ago and I don't wanna scare him, then I loose control and scream at my work,,, and he gets scared, and then I cry and regret letting myself get used to doing that.
Break up the union and pick the name of the most powerful government that existed within the bounds of every state before the land was occupied by any old-world government.
IMO if Lemmy had all the features that old.reddt had it would still be an objectivly worse UX experience. Federating reduces UX, that's just a rule.
We should focus on making the onboarding process as simple as possible like enabling social login (inb4 insecure and not private: let people make their choices), and making it easier to move between instances and understand what instance you're looking at.
