There’s no way a human’s bite is only 30% less than a dog’s. Our jaws have shitty leverage to chomp down hard.

lol, you point out how this is divisive and then proceed to divide Gen Z into late and early cohorts.

They would most likely look the same but there are still evolutionary changes deeper in the DNA that aren’t visible like metabolic and digestive functions. A modern horseshoe crab would not be able to reproduce with one from a 100 million years ago despite looking virtually identical.

When I see massive and highly technical projects like this I wonder where they find enough skilled labor to build it. Just look at the immense complexity of this and they have to build miles and miles of it underground. I’m imagining that all of the construction workers have PhDs in physics or some shit. Or am I overestimating the demands here?

250 million years ago to 2019. This salt had a good run.

All tetrapods share a common ancestor but the land was already teeming with invertebrate life at the time. Take a look at this handy guide to see our lineage. :)

It’s the video fakes that are really going to upend society. When the tools to make convincing videos with nothing but an AI prompt are in everyone’s hands we are never going to trust anything ever again.

It wasn’t even that long ago when mild exclamations like d_mn and h_ll were forbidden swear words too.

When the Brandon isn’t Dark

I’ve never met a librarian who didn’t offer enthusiastic help when asked. I’m sure there are some cranky ones out there, but I can’t think of a public facing job where the workers are as cheerful and helpful as librarians. It takes a certain temperament to devote your life to encouraging others to read books.

Hold onto it long enough and it will be eventually. Home ownership is the only real cheat code we have against inflation.

lmao did you just fantasize about threatening a vegan while grocery shopping?

My dumb ass assuming India’s culture of reverence for cows would lead to slightly better treatment for them but forgetting that capitalism will always demand the most profitable option.

How is the dairy industry in India? I would assume it is nowhere near as cruel as it is in the West, where sadistic practices are incorporated at every stage of the process in the name of efficiency.

Not only do they make way more per hour worked but they also get healthcare, paid sick leave, and a retirement plan. A gig worker is precariously teetering on the edge of disaster with no recourse if they are unable to meet their required daily deliveries to pay for living expenses.

It’s sobering to think that those of us with this mindset would have had kids anyway if we were born a few decades earlier. Society all but coerced everyone to marry someone of the opposite sex and reproduce regardless of their wishes.
