Decomposition would likely be slower in this environment too. It would be harder for worms and maggots and so on to get a foothold. You’d have to rely mostly on bacterial means of decomposition

You ask it about the Tiananmen Square Massacre

Yes I agree completely. I was using DuckDuckGo for like 10 years but it’s gotten to the point where it’s genuinely unusable. Even if AI turned off, basically all the results are AI slop blog posts. I was basically impossible to find an answer to any question. I’ve switch to Ecosia and it’s noticeably better, but still, this is a problem every search engine is grappling with right now.

AI slop is like toxic sludge that polluting the online commons. Places like Lemmy are one of the last intact ecosystems that haven’t been destroyed by the sludge.

Interesting, thanks for the explanation

Which is pretty par for the course so far as scientific classifications go.

Well yes I don’t necessarily disagree with you there. But there are some cases where it’s more obvious than others. A good example would be ring species: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_species

I’d say planets are about the same level of arbitrariness as far as scientific categories go

I mean that these descriptions are somewhat arbitrary. Roughly round is not a very precise delineation, there will be edge cases where it’s not clear which category they fall into

Wow that’s amazing. How did you learn how to do this?

It is convenient to classify it as a dwarf planet but that doesn’t mean that “dwarf planet” and “planet” are scientific categories in the purest sense of the term

Why are the colours different?

god damn

What’s up with dragonflies?

Well, that’s no fun

👍 if you say so

There’s a way to block posts with certain key words, if you go to your settings

but some people here definitely have a ridiculously absolutist stance towards it

I was talking to a guy on here who was comparing AI to nuclear bombs.

Yes the lack of subtly in the thinking here can be really jarring sometimes

Chill out man you’re overthinking this

Was a major vulnerability discovered?

Read the original message. You were claiming that all allies of the US are vassal states because they’ll get bombed etc if they do not play along with their military. Canada is not playing along (no action in Iran) and is not bombed etc

Well if it helps I live in Canada and I can confirm we haven’t been bombed lol
