i mean, we have the solutions to a lot of problems already

traffic? public trains

hunger? just like, feed people

global warming? reduce fossil fuel usage and stop poisoning the oceans

homeless? literally so many empty homes, put people in them???

and we’ve had many smart people create step by step plans for all of these!

the thing is… i guess rich people want a solution that doesn’t involve them paying for something that’s good not just for them but for others? so all those plans fail at step 1 - have empathy

i’m way too lazy to have alt accounts, just seems like a lot of work and i don’t even know what i’d use them for

They used to be an orderly, lawful kind, now they fell to the trap of internet fame

i’m next in queue

fair enough

because you expect it to taste like milk. try plant based milks without that thought in your head. it worked for me

where /s?

they do indeed, and us humans invented ways to describe them with maths

natural laws of the universe can be described with our maths. but i’m pretty sure the universe didn’t go “ah yes, 1+2=3 i can work with that! let there be light”.

the numbers, the symbols, the equations - they’re all human made, an attempt to describe things in a way that can be understood by us. but is this how they are? of course not. no wave or particle would describe itself the way we describe them, in fact they wouldn’t describe themselves at all - they simply are

i’m a fan of 13 months 28 days each & would love to see more of base 20 around tbf, for some reason base 20 feels cozy to me

proton masses are rather small - inconvenient

the distance light travels at a certain time - then it’ll just be based on our artificial units of time

cesium oscillation i don’t know much about but from what i quickly read it’s also about keeping time, 1s to be precise, which is still an arbitrary unit

c is pretty round (universal symbol for the speed of light)

aside from that, nothing. as science and maths are mere attempts at describing the universe all our units are arbitrary, decided to be the way they are purely because you just need to pick something to be your reference point.

at no point has a true non-artificial unit emerged, there is no constant size of anything that could aid in that (one contestant for that title could be the planck lenght but that’ss just incredibly inconvenient to use. "honey could you pelase move the couch 6,25 × 1034 planck lengths to the left? [1m])

i mean, they still do that anyway, for all we know the “disagree” button does fuck all. but at least now we know that they do it, hooray?

dw about it, your data will be safe amongst their friends! MyAnimeList and their 938 closest friends :)

god no do not bring back Gros Michels, artificial banana flavour is bleh

i suppose soon we’ll have to compromise and start liking (or not) a new banana flavour though, if that banana disease gets to the current version

i agree SatansMaggotyCumFart, consent is very important

bro, if we could edit the genes of foods to make them grow into huge sizes, i think we would hear from some scientific source that that’s now a possibility

to fill out the something somethings for the unaware audience -

if you get something into your bum fully, it’s very hard to get out on your own without hurting yourself, and your ass can suck that thing in in a second - so unless you’re an avid fan of going to a doctor to get something out of your butt, the object you’re penetrating yourself with has to have a flared base - that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in, which will stop the thing from sliding in

honestly i don’t mind a bit of dirt with a touch of poop. if i myself pluck a carrot out of the ground - i’ll just wash it a bit and proceed to chomp

what i do mind is the number of hands and various containers the carrot goes through before it gets bought by me at a store. theoretically, nobody has to touch a carrot for it to appear in the store (harvested mechanically, transported in large quantities, thrown out of a box onto the store display), sure, but i’m not counting on that, nor am i counting on the fact they wash their hands properly

well maybe for you that’s not enough justification. but others care about other people
