What is the one most astonishingly dumb things that, as a child, you believed was absolute truth?
I thought that during commercial breaks the characters in the show I was watching were still doing things and I was missing it because the commercials were not pausing the show in the background but playing over top of it.

People Who Don't Wear Deodorant or Seemingly Bathe Regularly, Why?
The few people I know with this issue fall into one of two categories.
Access issues. There are some kinds of road blocks accessing a quality shower/bath. Which makes showering/bathing is an uncomfortable activity for some reason. Maybe it's that their shower is really small and cramped, with a low quality shower head. Maybe it's an issue where the water quality is low in the shower they have access to. Low quality water can have an odor people find uncomfortable, or it can dry out their skin making their skin feel dry even while under the water. People naturally avoid things that make them uncomfortable even subconsciously.
Mental Health. I suffer from this occasionally. I love showering, it's extremely relaxing, but for whatever reason the process of getting into the shower is such a huge barrier to overcome. You feel like absolute dog shit. You know that a shower would make you feel better, but for whoever reason no matter how hard you try, you cannot push through the transition of wanting to shower, to taking that first step towards doing it. And it all compounds together to make you feel like an even bigger piece of shit for not being able to do something so basic. Until eventually you've doom scrolled the entire day away and now it's dark out and you're tired and you've got a stress headache because you've barely even ate today either while you just stewed in your own filth.

Yeah, that's like the child throwing a temper tantrum because they don't want to clean the room. That doesn't actually solve anything. Unless you're going to start rolling heads and starting an actual violent revolution, you're not doing anything. And instead you're just making it more difficult for the rest of us to keep shit together.
The lawyers of one of the options are literally arguing in court that presidential immunity means he could carry out an assignation of their political opponent and be immune as long as his party has enough power to avoid an impeachment conviction.

Spam calls and texts are driving me fing crazy anyone have suggestions?
Pixel's all screening from Google has pretty much completely solved my spam call issue.
Set it up to screen every single call from anyone who is not in my contacts, And I haven't had to miss any important unexpected calls, or answer any spam calls, in months

My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?
Nothing, someone with that world view isn't worth talking to. I've argued with enough brick walls in my life to recognize one.

People of Lemmy, I dare you to name ONE billionaire that's done anything good.
The problem isn't a billionaire that's done anything good, the problem is a billionaire who has done more good things than bad.
Those don't exist.
There's no amount of good you can do to make up for the amount of exploitation you had to do in order to get to be a billionaire.
It doesn't mean that a billionaire can't do anything good. It just means the world would still be better off without them.

I miss Google Plus for this exact reason! I really wish they wouldn't have given up on it and just stuck to their guns. Kept it long enough for people to give it more of a try.

No, they have a point. In hindsight, I definitely can see how the unskipable ads of cable TV resulted in a greater deal of patience. I'd be interested to see a more academic study of it, but anecdotally I definitely can see it.
