  • Well the noble defenders are currently in need of more soldiers. Go enlist now if this is the war you think it is. Do you need help finding out how to?

  • gastrocnemius

    Stomach of the leg. That's almost reaching the level of Amorphophallus titanum.

    If you’re curious about entomophagy (the practice of eating insects, especially by humans), cicadas are a great place to start. Unlike other bugs that can have “crunchy exoskeletons and wings,” teneral cicadas have a nutty, green, almost peeled shrimp-y look, taste and texture similar to the crustaceans.

    “You can add them to any of your favorite dishes,” says Borgerson. “They don’t need peeling or extensive prepping, just pan fry them or parboil and toast them in the oven, and then use them like you would any of their crustacean relatives. Personally, I love them by themselves on toothpicks as an appetizer or in tacos, where you can use the toppings to bring out a lot of their green spring flavors.”

    Cicadas have a similar chitinous exterior as shellfish, so while there’s no overwhelming evidence that those with allergies have had reactions after eating cicadas, there’s not much research in its favor, either. “A shellfish allergy increases the likelihood that you will be allergic to cicada, so it’s better to be safe than sorry and abstain from land arthropods if you can’t eat their sea swimming cousins.” Can animals safely eat cicadas?

    I'm definitely giving these a try this year.

  • Were you born this fucking stupid or is it a conscious daily choice to fail yourself and everyone around you?

  • Liberalism is like if every Catholic indulgence clear-cut a forest. They use 99% Hitlerite politics as therapy and a chance to abuse people with impunity, all the while demanding they pay for a second indulgence just to show how worthy that liberal is of heaven. Judas goats that only exist to blindly sacrifice others for treats.

  • I'll vaccinate 2.5m children right now. Watch me.

  • I'm going to pad my H-index score by refuting all of the 19th century science saying that plants grow because ghosts stretch them overnight.

  • I hurt me when I didn't study anthropology instead. At least then I'd be poor and could comprehend what I'm reading without googling half the words.

  • I'm gonna get a PhD and be $100k in debt and change the thing so obscure that nobody else has bothered studying it yet so that in 50 years someone cites the paper in an essay.

  • Many tankies will point to the "perfect equality" of communist governments, but to them I ask: how equal were those gay disco rations?

  • /r/chapotraphouse was the best socialist subreddit and it got banned over saying "death to slave masters". The intense censorship campaign, at one point consisting of being site banned if you upvoted a comment in the subreddit, was so disgusting that I wanted to take the Reddit out of reddit. Chapo.chat-turned-hexbear was its direct continuation.

  • Martini, extra dry, wet on the side, gaseous and plasma forms in secure containers.

  • Even on my Lemmy.ml account there doesn't seem to be a point counter. There's nothing to gain from the volume of your posts like on reddit and Yogthos isn't posting their own website like those gaming website bot communities we allow. More posts just means more opportunity for discussion and more coverage of stories I wouldn't otherwise see on here.

  • It's 8% of the shares in total. Everything prior was purchased in venture capital drives well below the IPO price. We both know that the price is going to crater after that. My incentive is to buy in now and cash out the moment it launches, but that's also their incentive and they're doing so much quicker with far more shares. If I kept my shares, my only hope would be that whatever dividends it pays out cover the 24/7 customer service job of moderating at the state minimum wage. It wouldn't at the amount it allows me to invest. The people drawing much more profit from their much cheaper shares will make that 24/7 customer service job worse as the website becomes worse to use and everything I say on it is sold to train the LLMs that are threatening labour more broadly.

    The gamble every person who got that message faces is whether or not they think they can cash out within the first day. After that there is no happy ending for reddit, its mods, its users, or people dumb enough to invest in the modern Myspace.
