couldn't read the whole article, but the first couple paragraphs seem to contradict the headline. '~15% of reddit users have encountered corporate astroturfing' is not the same as '15% of content on reddit is corporate astroturfing'.

honestly, i had completely forgotten that some phones, for some completely unfathomable reason, lack an audio jack of any kind. if you are suffering through that, you have my condolences.

why aren't phones and shit made with 1/4" jacks instead of 3.5mm jacks?

i want this on a t-shirt.

that'd be Vorik.

fool me once, shame on you, but teach a man to fool me, and i'll be fooled the rest of my life

i don't think asklemmy posts need to ask questions about asklemmy. that'd be pretty limiting wouldn't it?

there's actually a pretty broud spectrum of procedures referred to as female circumcision. most of them are far more extreme than male circumcision, but type 1a is basically equivalent, though by far a minority. other forms are even worse than you've described.

but i've also got to point out that male circumcision is also explicitely a method of sexual control, among other excuses. a major reason it ever caught on in america was in an effort to prevent masturbation.

ain't it just chrome for alt-right tech-bros?

it's been done. it is not good and every time i see one of those spam bots i block it. if i didn't, browsing 'all' would be mostly zero conversation reddit links. it makes the lemmy experience much better without them, imho.

as for foss generators, there's an app on f-droid called Binary Eye for reading and generating assorted bar codes, including qr codes.

i thought the top bit was originally 0 or 1 depending on the evilness/odiousness of the rest of the number, as a parity check.

i much prefer the 2000 adaptation

lots of kinds of fish. most other carnivores are not cost effective to be eaten regularly.

nor should they.

here's my tip for every landlord everywhere: "get a real job, ya leech."

here are the books as told in the video description if anyone cares. lots of amazon links and i did not check any of them.

but it might also be hard to not have imperfections in the face that give everyone an "uncanny valley" sort of feeling that something's off about it?

yep, precisely so.

do you know this stuff via actually doing taxidermy, or are you just another infinitely curious person?

the latter, i suppose. i've had a fascination with the history of sideshows, professional freaks, medical anomalies, and the like since i was a wee lass, and attempts at taxidermizing humans come up somewhat often in that course of study.

they are specific to humans, though fur does help to hide (heh, get it) a lot, so it wouldn't surprise me for there to be extra challenge to a pig. in addition to the lack of fur though, humans also have very thin skin, which tears easily.

furthermore, if you're taxidermizing a human, you would generally want the end product to look like that person. most of what makes a human look like themself is not the skin. it's the bones and muscles and fat in the face, and the perceptions of living humans are incredibly sensitive to subtle variations in those features. to have any hope of recognizability, you would probably need an extremely detailed sculpture of the subject's head to be made ahead of time to be used as the form. at that point you really might as well just use the sculpture to commemorate the person, rather than wrapping their skin around it at all.
