How in the fuck.

Like what drives a majority of Americans to vote for a demented toddler. It's insane.

As a kid I always wondered how on Earth did Hitler ever make anyone follow himself, how did those people not realise. Turns out a majority of people are just fucking morons.

Fungi in general are about twice as old as sharks. Roughly a billion years vs ~450 million years.

The point is there just weren't any which had bacteria to decompose trees, as no bacteria had evolved the ability yet. Until there were. Took millions of years though.

Fun fact, now we have mushrooms which can deal with plastic.

Pestalotiopsis microspora is a type of endophytic fungus discovered in the Amazon rainforest in 2011 which contains bacteria that can biodegrade and break down synthetic plastic polymers.

"Cure"

Fking lol

Literally all you post about is "don't vote Biden".

You always capitalise Russia, but then generalise "the west".

You never go against Trump or the Republicans. Always just "don't vote Democrats".

And weirdly you seem to try this "both sides" bullshit even when you do the rare comment about something other than "don't vote genocide Joe", like in this thread where you're talking about the Russo-Ukrainian war carefully without taking a side on the issue.

So, how would one recognise an actual Russian troll, btw? Like... they probably wouldn't admit to being one, would they?

Say his name.

Here's the link they marked as "unsafe". Just you know, so you can give it a click or two or three, for Lemmy to participate in a bit of Streisand effect.

And she didn't even ask for the massive compensations she eventually got, she only asked McD to cover the medical expenses, as she had to spent a fair amount of time in a hospital because of the burned crotch she had.

Not unreasonable by a mile, but after that case, corporations have tried making pretty much all lawsuits against them seem completely ridiculous. I wonder why...

That said the dude in the photo does look guilty af.

Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive.

Friggin Sherlock Holmes' over here.

The case raises questions about executive security

"We won't be pressured into changing the system we'll just protect the rich exploiters better"

I'll just leave this here because I didn't know, but guessed from context and then googled to verify:

The Handmaid's Tale, acclaimed dystopian novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, published in 1985. The book, set in New England in the near future, posits a Christian fundamentalist theocratic regime in the former United States that arose as a response to a fertility crisis.

I think it's like the FDA having just reasonable guidelines on how much UV you can safely be exposed to. RFKJR prolly thinks sun lotion prevents all the healthiness from the sun and crystallises your amygdala or something along those lines.

I believe those are called "republicans".

"I let them"

Dudes showing internally he thinks he controls their votes. That he could've not let them had he chosen so.

So his daughters should be thankful for such a benevolent patriarch. /S

But it isn't the clever. It's the rich and uncaring.

Made me think of this

Would this logic extend to products labeled "alcohol-free"?

"Everyone knows beer has alcohol in it."

If only we did all politics like this.

Finland is wrong.

"Often unenforced"

Who the fuck made this inforgraphic?

Finnish cops are obsessive over fighting cannabis, and in practice even having a single joint on you will lead to a criminal record, and not for just "personal use" or "possession" but the same crime you'd be charged with if you grow 27 plants at home.

And yes, I've personal experience on both, as well as several dozens of other examples, documented and otherwise.

Finnish drug laws are just as archaic as others, and the cops attitude and understanding is way worse than in most European countries.

It's ridiculous.

So yeah, Finland is definitely wrong, fucking hell.
