If you believe in reincarnation shouldn't you expect to be reincarnated as a brain parasite or an odd slug somewhere in the distant galaxy? Like statistically... Or does it only apply to earth for some reason?

PS DefenSe in the us.

I mean these yearly statistics

Edit: We survived an ice age and we're very highly adaptable. Plus, we will hold on to some percentage of technical knowledge that will help us adapt faster.

The longer we exist, the more we must let go. Do we fight against it, or accept it?

In know what you guys are thinking. "But you are posting in the Fediverse on a phone with GrapheneOS flashed via the command line in a Debian based distro!"

I know I know! But truth be told I don't know what the hell I'm doing! I WISH I could be one of the greats who preaches the gospel of "Just install Linux" and who didn't constantly ponder flashing stock android again. However its not that simple.

I'm a power user at best! Half the time I'm copying and pasting commands into the terminal. I try to smile when the Battle.Net launcher fails and buggs out through Lutris and tell myself "Its OK! Who needs to play WoW anyway! I'll just replay Half Life again!" But in reality there's a part of me that wants to just restart into my dual boot windows 11 partition with my tail between my legs.

I'm not worthy to be on Lemmy! DONT LOOK AT ME! (I'd type a crying Emoji, but my Foss degoogled keyboard doesn't have Emojis)

English makes so much sense.

It showed up out of nowhere, made the most bank in history (for a movie), refused to explain and disappeared for like 15 years, then came back out of nowhere with a sequel movie, a AAA game, and like 3 more movies in the works.

Edit: I think it now has like a Lego line too?

We are just finding out about a child sex trafficking ring involving politicians and billionaires, the world’s richest man does a Nazi salute at a political rally, and the President being an adjudicated sex criminal is probably not the worst thing he has done…

Meanwhile I’m standing here in the checkout line feeling guilty about whether or not I should tip a barista

Something is wrong with our collective notion of morality, and my individual understanding (Oh well, here we are)

I feel like the people I interact with irl don't even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.

And I'm sure they already take creative liberties with it

This dog knows before anyone else when food has been dropped;

is always first on the scene;

and he's generally got whatever it is half-way in his mouth before I say he can have it.

... i think i'll get him a yellow flashing light for his collar next birthday.

The vast majority of voicemails that I get from unknown numbers are a prerecorded pitch about improving SCO. Too bad I registered some websites before there were privacy options to prevent personal info from appearing in a whois lookup.

Even better: let me set a list of keywords that flag or delete messages if they appear in the transcription. Sigh.

If you don’t know what it means, you’re probably going to need to look it up.

So odd thought and questioning. I believe I may of been born into a singularity.

Why?

Well I managed for my consciousness to be teleported into this dark realm. Almost like pure darkness or even chaos but it didn’t seem unbuilt to be chaos.

Then I could hold out my hands and grip what almost was like a sparkling dark tube of wetness almost slimy it looked like a fallopian tube but more celestial.

Then at the end of these were 10+ realities. I felt all their screams, anguish, the need for survival and failure happening.

Then I say this one Tube leading to this singular pod connected to all of the smaller ones (the 10+ all lined up)

This wasn’t like I was still visibly able to see my surrounding. There was nothing of a past, present or future just the liminal space.

Your thoughts? Hahaa

PS I do also use magic as E=MC^2 so it does follow scientific properties ✌🏻😌

Maybe it'll be an apocalypse movie

That’s not what I mean….

I was just listening to a biologist podcast about tardigrades and learnt we've been subjecting them to all the extremes to see what they can tolerate: super-fast speeds, radiation, you name it we've done it to them...

Think if super-advanced aliens did this to us. Oh. Oh god. 'How much velocity to squish us?' 'How much sound to shake us apart?'

Suddenly anal probing doesn't seem so bad.

e: ‘we’ll stick an appropriately-sized thing into an orifice that seems made for that’ sounds downright friendly by comparison.
