Do Lemmy threads end up on search engines?

Probably yes, even if the instance blocks bots, they will go to another one to get the post, these ai bots are a curse on all instances.

Why people think “culture is dead” | Shannon Kim [49:08] in c/videos@lemmy.world

The video talks about the slopification, commodification, that kind of thing, of current culture and art. It's an art viewpoint, not a sociological viewpoint (culture being the shared behaviour, customs, in a society).

Edit: I think this is an interesting pov, that's why I shared, it seems the title is a little clickbaity, but the video is good.

Why people think “culture is dead” | Shannon Kim [49:08] (infosec.pub)
 

From the description:

I discuss Claire Bishop’s theory on attention, automatism, AI, mid century modern Facebook Marketplace slop, address the hyperfication of media trends causing a reduction in itself, Franco Berardi, Italian Futurism, Herbert Read….. actually I’m going to stop listing things because basically I kind of talk about a lot.

Wolbachia (Sex and reproductivity changing bacteria) (en.wikipedia.org)
 

Wolbachia is a genus of gram-negative bacteria infecting many species of arthropods and filarial nematodes. The relationship between Wolbachia and its hosts ranges from parasitism through benign symbiosis up to obligate mutualism. It is one of the most common parasitic microbes of arthropods, and is possibly the most widespread reproductive parasite bacterium in the biosphere. Its interactions with hosts are complex and highly diverse across the various species in which it is found. Some host species cannot reproduce, or even survive, absent internal Wolbachia colonies. One study concluded that more than 16% of neotropical insect species carry bacteria of this genus, and as many as 25 to 70% of all insect species are estimated to be potential hosts.
