For those who don't know what a "Eye Floater" is

EDIT: more clear title.

IDK why, but this idea helps me sleep at night.

In light of certain recent government regulations redefining "child" to mean anyone under the age of 18, I would like to propose that we should adjust other terms for people of specific ages to match this new and increasingly popular language regime:

Child: Ages 13-17 Toddler: Ages 9-12 Infant: Ages 5-8 Newborn: Age 2-4 Foetus: Under 2 years old

Though he’d probably put his own spin on it: “Excelsior or some shit, I don’t give a fuck.”

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.
