  • Calling someone a derogatory term has never been acceptable in polite company. It doesn't really make sense.

    Although the ultimate origin of the word slut is unknown, it first appeared in Middle English in 1402 as slutte (AHD), with the meaning of 'dirty, untidy, or slovenly woman'.

    And slut has never had a positive meaning.

  • Particles and waves aren't actually separate as we were taught in school. They are in reality a third thing with properties of both.

    As for detecting properties that's a limit of our technology not the universe. In order to observe something we currently have to interact with it (e.g. bounce some light off it) It's possible in the future we develop techniques that don't require interaction, like reading the higgs boson field directly for example.

  • It's usually they haven't slept for days and the kid is asleep in the back.

    I saw one where they drove past their kids school and went to work.

    No one plans to do this. It's not hugely common but it does happen.

    I was left at the supermarket once. These things happen. But sometimes the consequences are just much bigger.

  • Almost everyone cares deeply about their identity. People's identities just pull from different things.

    An equivalent would be banning a certain sport or type of music or food type, etc. that people identify with.

    If they tried to ban football or rock music you can bet a lot of people would lose their minds.

  • That's not what genocide means. You can't come up with your own definition of a word then attack people for not using said made up definition.

    That said genocide doesn't quite fit as it's not based on race or culture. Eugenics would be a more correct term.

  • People complain about the algorithms on other social media but you can see here exactly why they have them.

    Without them it becomes hard to get connected to things that interest you.

    For Lemmy I've managed to build a decent feed by browsing all and subscribing to communities I like.

    You just have to do the algorithms job now.

    As for the big communities it's exactly what happened to the old internet. It used to be a large collection of individual sites but discovery was hard. So the front pages of the internet started popping up.

    I expect the same thing will happen to the fediverse eventually. It's just a better user experience sadly.
