I think it’d be neat to go to like 10,000 BC and just live a day in the life of some tribe/ancient city.

This is just straight up dangerous

I’m just tired of everyone asking for my money. Rent/mortgage: insane. Groceries: insane. Transportation: insane. Phone/internet: insane. I think people realized they can just charge whatever they want and get away with it so thats whats happened, everyone is squeezing every last penny out of everyone. If everyone starts doing that then theres not much left over and yeah, people feel like shit. They did everything right and its just not enough. Thats the world now.

I would love it if renting was just banned entirely. Just play the stock market with your extra cash, homes should not be an investment/traded around. People need a place to live. I hope people realize that a shoebox of a condo isn’t worth $1M and theres a massive correction back to more realistic valuations. its just stupid now.

well of theres’s more competition… be competitive. make better cars, reduce prices, make the product stand out.

I came here after they banned 3rd party apps, never looked back!

I could go for personal quad copters. Imagine leaving work early on a friday and packing up the oll’ whirly bird and heading up to the cottage? that would be awesome.

I feel like bees are a bit of a grey area. We’re not eating them, we’re kind of like landlords that give them a nice place to stay and they pay rent in honey. I’m not vegan so I’m not quite sure what the rationale is for bee stuff.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10144565/ Here’s a good start on “NNS”/non nutritional sweeteners.

Honestly its probably not a very big impact, its more of a “its possible” sort of thing.

Its a really interesting field!

Ya thats a fair point!

ya I did a lit review for my thesis a few years back, plenty of papers on microbes metabolizing these compounds, shouldn’t be hard to find.

FYI there is no such thing as truly “zero calorie”. Sure, we can’t use aspartame and those “0 calorie” sweeteners for energy BUT our gut microbes can metabolize those compounds into products that we can then use for energy. So one way or another you’re still taking in calories. Now do you gain more energy from straight sugar vs the sweeteners? I have no idea, I haven’t studied this in years. I just like to bring up that little bit of trivia whenever anyone brings up zero calorie drinks in conversation :)

I saw a meme about using red and blue ink and old 3D glasses with one red lens and one blue. That seemed pretty smart.

well yeah. In this world that we live in money is freedom and if you don’t have it your options are severely limited. For those that don’t have it it getting it is the only thing that matters.

jobs, housing, cost of being alive… honestly what is there to be happy about? A lot of people did everything right, have good jobs and are responsible but most of these problems are completely outside their control, of course people are depressed. everything really is just shit.

dim sum and they have a clicky jaw

Octopus are pretty cool.

Can’t wait for the AI bubble to pop

I will not be participating in the election… I’m Canadian
