To be fair, it only works well if the increased pounds go to the right places.

Ok I've been meaning to ask this in the Space community or the NoStupidQuestions community. I've seen this news circling around the past 2 weeks and have been watching videos of people talking about it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the gist is that astronomers discovered with the JWST that some galaxies at the end of the observable universe appear to be younger than they are supposed to be. So it kinda blows a hole in the big bang expansion where objects farther away should be older. And that somehow ties in with the theory that our universe is inside a blackhole.

It's fascinating but I don't know what to do with that information other than just be fascinated. I think it was Neil deGrasse Tyson who said "So what does this new discovery matter to us? Nothing", because us being in a blackhole doesn't change anything in the grand universal scheme of things.

I’ve never actually used it. Is it like instagram reels where you can put a photo/video and music together?

Edit: Just tried it. I don’t see the appeal to be honest. A messaging app to me is just that, an app to message people. If I wanted social media to post updates of whatever, I’d use pixelfed or mastodon. The author says the advantage of Signal is the granularity of the audience of your story. IIRC, facebook and the like allow you to restrict down to specific people you want. Obviously the corporate surveillance part is a no-brainer, but if you’re specifically talking about audience filtering, it’s no different.

IMO, instead of social media features, they should try to copy some Telegram features instead (sticker packs, automation, etc.) to make it more enticing to regular users. Make it a full feature chat app instead of a social media app like instagram.

Looks like it was pulled from an Igorrr music video.

The photo initially looks like it was taken in the 80's or 90's. Then the more you look at it, you realize it was probably taken within the last 10 years.

Hopefully they add piefed soon, unless it's also included when searching lemmy.

Well shit, I thought the -eating micro-organisms were only a risk in fresh water.

I know popping, but how does he get his chest to pop THAT much??

Because the premise of religion involves having full faith in someone/something without question or evidence. So the more a person believes in it, the easier they are to manipulate, and it tends to have the same effect on other things. So if you are able to tickle that specific part of their brain and make them fully believe in something, you can have them do almost anything you want them to do.

Simple, it ducks before it shoots, like in the picture. ez

Pick a server somewhere in southeast Asia. I don’t have issues with youtube with locations outside of western and first world countries.

That thing can make me eat way more rice than I should if I mix it in.
