Anon institutes the draft

Pretty sure the Hamster would be fine, didn’t Kurzgesagt have a video on this kinda stuff where they tossed a mouse of a skyscraper but due to the mass and size of the mouse it doesn’t reach a speed in which it dies on impact?

The U.S. dumped 500,000 tons of oyster shells back into the ocean in 2007. Nearly two decades later, they have created a thriving habitat for thousands of marine species

When this was posted a few days back maybe a week or two, a comment or pointed out that they couldn’t even verify the amount of shells dumped saying some articles they found on it cited half a million shells other said half a million tons but apparently non could point out where the number is coming from.

Either way I give it a quick check if I can pull up the older post and link here.

Edit was quick, it’s been just about a week since.

Comment I am referring two from the 2nd post

Headline kinda missed the scale of this whole thing.

It's LLM-generated from some mill called UpWorthy; the fact it's on Yahoo! News just lends it some credibility because most people aren't going to understand that, while Yahoo! News has some original articles of its own, it's primarily a news aggregator with minimal quality standards.

Restoring the balance of these elements is not only critical to marine life, but human life as well. And we're not just talking about food supply here. A lack of fish means a lack of income for fishermen, and higher prices at seafood restaurants. Dirty waters lead to a decline in tourism. Reefs even provide natural protection during coastal storms. It's almost like every aspect of our lives is directly affected by the state of our environment. What a concept!

OP genuinely doesn't seem to give a shit about the quality of what they post; I administered the other day what I think has been the first temp ban of a poster from [email protected] because they refused to learn when their posts got removed for clear lack of relevance.


Edit: This article never once sources this information. The FDEP talks about using oysters but never says 500,000 tons, and all I can immediately find about that specific claim are some shitty AI videos from late 2025.


Edit 2: But here's a neat report! Again, though, the 500k number seems to have been pulled out of an AI hat.

Women like both

It’s because the difference between “fem” and “feminine” is taken literally in terms of spelling but not meaning and thus it is “inine”. It’s like asking what’s the difference between “top” and “topping” and someone says “ping”.

I hope my attempt makes it clearer.

I feel like the point is less about size and more about the methods. I think it aims at the issue highlighted by an other comment that this protest while good doesn’t really disrupt the system.

[Meta] Posting comics from transphobic artists?

I would say don’t supply transphobes with free exposure and would option for the third option. Though checking and controlling for the political views of each artist may be too much work to put onto the mod team and would have to be on the poster.

Personally I am also biased against transphobes and would love it, if they would not be posted at all.
