No reputable scientific consensus report indicates we’re all going to die or anything close.

Depends who you are. Middle-class american living not too close to a coast? Yea you’re probably fine, you’ll get hotter summers and colder winters but you’ll survive.

Poor and living nearby to coast or such that can get more easily affected by climate change? You could be pretty fucked by mother nature by chance.

Isn’t this a kind of positive feedback circle though? Right-wing wins, left-wing people move and leave the country, leaving more and more right-wing people left. Then obviously right wing wins again next election, more left-wing people leave and so on and so on.

This can also happen with just people moving from right-wing states to left-wing states. I suspect this is a contributing factor to the increasing split in american politics as people tend to stay where their politics align and leave where it doesn’t.

This doesn’t seem sustainable? Unless the states split into more independent nations that don’t have to align on federal politics.

That is also possible, but I think it’s more likely to show the actual distribution rather than a bias like that. But sure.

Well, in that case, maybe this is interesting to you. I ran a user survey last year for my instance and anyone else wanting to answer and one question was age. Here’s the age group graph:

The y-axis is number of respondents, x-axis is age group. Obviously this only applies to the people that responded to the survey and thus might not apply in general to the fediverse, but it’s probably an indication. And, well, it’s mostly smoothly distributed without any major gaps or humps (slight hump at 30-34 but not sure if that’s statistically significant).

It’s inherently an american concept, which is what also annoys me as some Europeans have started importing the concept even though it makes little sense (I don’t really think it makes sense in the US either but the fact that it is imported is just extra stupid).

I think people just love putting other people in boxes. Consider people complexly instead.

If you ask me, these generation labels are bullshit and just a way to put people into a stereotypical box and make them an “other”. Not much better than astrology.

It really depends on the specifics of the fight and the person (neurotypical or not). Perhaps some couple counselling with a professional would be helpful to understand each other better?

Sounds like a useful cool feature, would love to see it in Lemmy too.

“Soul” by Pixar. It’s very good.

The most active is probably the news community, [email protected] with 80 active users per week according to the sidebar. I think a good portion of them are users on external instances.

If you understand Danish, any of the communities on Feddit.dk should be interesting… But otherwise they probably aren’t :P

No, I’ve never really understood the point. I have bookmarks in my browser if I want to save something for later. I don’t really need anything more fancy than that.

… Fuck

Just hijacking the top comment to say that it has been suggested, just not implemented yet https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

Sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that there was (most likely) an actual historical person who is the origin of these stories, i.e. Jesus. He’s probably not really as fantastical as the Bible would have you believe, but he did exist, as opposed to being just an entirely fictional character.

How did they open cans before then?

Not sure how else you would increase Jupiter’s mass that much :P

I assumed in this scenario that orbits would be left unchanged aside from orbital velocity - if we can magic Jupiter much bigger, we can magic the orbits too :P

And there’s not enough to prove that Jesus Christ existed…

Says who?

Why wouldn’t they survive? I think even if Jupiter gained enough mass to start fusion, it would not become significantly larger. It would just become more dense.
