I had the same thought. Evidence of a long extinct and clearly human civilization.

She really was
I was so happy to rediscover that playing in the woods and outdoorsing was super rad and exactly what I needed.

75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are Why
I wonder what the front collision/auto braking feature will do to this trend. Hopefully it'll erase it. Isnt it mandatory on US cars made after X date now?
This is probably caused by a combination of big vehicles and distracted driving (including smartphones and infotainment).

What do you think about the dead internet theory?

Reddit is lousy with them. In general, I assume MOST of the post-2024 posts and replies I see on any subreddit with a strong subscriber base are made by bots. It's why I came to Lemmy.

Looking at you, hiking trails within a two-drive from Seattle. It's like being in a fucking shopping mall in the 90s, except now some people have bluetooth speakers hanging from their REI backpacks.

The cost of AI slop could cause a rethink that shakes the global economy in 2026
I wouldn't pay money for access to AI. The convenience is not worth a single cent to me. But am I the average person? Is the average person sold on this nonsense enough to subscribe to it? The first hit is free to get you hooked. So if the plan is to get the average person dependent on it while it's free and then eventually charge for it, i'm not buying and I wonder how many people will. AI output is fucking garbage.

"George, what the fuck are you talking about"
Roman Catholic here, born and raised, church every Sunday and catechism. As Roman Catholics, we don't fuck around with reading the Bible. We daze off during the two readings and the Gospel, and we rely on the priest's homily to sum it all up succinctly and with a couple of jokes sprinkled in.
18 years of going to church growing up and I don't know what a Gog Magog is.

As another shutdown impacts travelers, some see eliminating TSA agents as a solution
The headline is possibly misleading. This story seems to largely discuss potential privatization of the security services that TSA provides, not eliminating the security theater that TSA is.

fire fighters
I've met a lot of firefighters who act like cops. One of them lived in my apartment building and his girlfriend routinely had a black eye.
Ive also met good ones. But more often, theyre entitled dickheads just like the cops.

North America contains some of the longest continuous deciduous forest records on the planet.

He is moving the forest service HQ out of washington DC and shutting down research. Ive not heard that he's closing regional offices.
Ive always felt like people think of the National Forests as National Parks or preserves, but theyre not. National Forests are mixed use allowing for recreation and industry.
Moving the HQ to the west makes sense to me since that's where a bulk of the forestland is. And we know that stupid people dont like smart people and their ideas, so research was bound to get torpedoed by Trump.

A good Xfiles episode is a lot like a good TOS episode -- campy and fucking ridiculous, but man is it a good time.
