Do many others also feel life is another chore?

Things don't automatically get better in life.
They can get automatically worse though.

What's something adorable your pet does that you'd like to share?
This little guy (named Mop) figured out that if I pick him up and face him looking away, I will walk toward whatever direction he looks. He uses it to investigate tall stuff that he normally can't reach. I call it mecha-piloting.

The trick is to only pick ONE of not eating and eating too much.

Funny how that works
The number of recalls hasn't changed significantly. It's one of those things that is constantly happening and only gets picked up by the news when it starts getting clicks for whatever reason. It's like when that train derailed in Ohio and then the media made everyone think there was a sudden epidemic of train derailments.
I say this not in defense of the current administration, but to calm potentially over-frazzled nerves.

The worst years in recent history were 2011 with 33 deaths and 2024 with 19 deaths. We're at 2 so far this year. It's true that the cyclospora outbreak made an unusually high amount of people sick, though.

Interestingly, turtle ants aren’t in door-mode at all times. You can see the entrance to their nests open, but as soon as they sense danger, be it a top on the wooden wall of their tunnel, or pheromones of an enemy, the door is immediately plugged shut.
I'm glad they get breaks.

He was born to some random barn cats near a relative's rural property. I doubt he has much ragdoll in him; for instance, he has yellow eyes. He sure is fluffy though.

The Moon is an Alien Trojan Horse
The volume of the sun is 1412000000000000000 km^3.
The volume of the moon is 21958000000 km^3.
sunvolume / moonvolume = ~6.4 million km^3.
You could fit more than 6 million lunas inside the sun (well, if you joined their volumes into one giant sphere).
So yeah, saying the moon is 1/400 the size of the sun is laughable.
Now what I think they meant to say is diameter. It's true: the moon's diameter is 1/400 of the sun's. And it's also true that the moon is about 1/390th of the way to the sun. But they worded that poorly

Hi, American here who can't be fully sedated because it'd kill me. It took my doctor a hot minute to find a surgeon who could do what I needed under local anesthesia, because almost everyone did full sedation for that procedure.

As usual the disabled are the first to get hurt by all the bullshit people do. Guarantee one of these lemmy badasses who wants to run around hitting people is going to hit a blind person for just trying to get around.

If you do something that doesn't involve making your service better and the price goes up 50% because of it, that ought to be considered fraud.

Do you think being poor in 2026 and later is a form of resistance?
lol, the more people that are poor the less resistance there is. You need power to resist.

Do you think it would help if you told them 40% of adults already don't have jobs and that making that number higher isn't as big of a leap as they think?
