2·2 days agoOr the cosine wave until it hurts so good.
I remember watching a video that showed that this is how cats are always able to land on their feet. As in, their bodies evolved to be able to twist awkwardly (to us) like this. By counter-rotating the front from the back in the air, they can face backwards without being able to change their rotational momentum in the air.
They’re clearly all owls in disguise.

Technology@lemmy.world•In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mudEnglish
3·5 days agoI retired from being an “audiophile” when I had 5 drivers stuffed into one earbud. It does sound nice compared to a single driver though, especially for gaming.

This was my Christmas dinner during Covid, lol. Pair it with Siracha and gravy from the roasting drippings and baby you got a stew going
I think it’s funny that so much of popular Christian imagery is from essentially fanfiction written by that guy.

Mammary glands, testies, beans, nuts, seeds, even the mighty coconut.

7·14 days agoOh damn, I did not know that tomato was a new world food, and from South America too (as opposed to Central and North).
The original cultivation of so many fruits and vegetables before the Columbia Exchange and then modern industrial agriculture is always really interesting.
The one that sticks in my head are kiwis - the modern kiwi is cultivated from a plant from China, which is somehow a source of a lot of cultivars that we eat today.

7·14 days agoI find it fascinating that almost half of the world has their own dumpling (ie. a small ball of a cheap source of protein and fat held together by a wrapping of flour dough; a peasant dish that’s most often boiled).
I bet if you they would all dispute the origin of that food item.

7·14 days agoSeriously. I love Korean army stew.
During college I had the most intense crush for a girl (I really don’t know why but it was like some genetic memory from my ancestors in Dune kind of intensity) and we had been only grabbing coffee for several months until one day she invites me over to her apartment as a, “Haha your hair is so long that you need a haircut and I’ve been doing it for my roommates.”
… I left after the haircut 😭

The gays for Republican party is literally called The Log Cabin Republicans party.
okmko@lemmy.worldtointerestingasfuck@lemmy.world•This Depression Awareness Ad (Look Closer)
4·18 days agoI too have clinical depression and it was underdiagnosed for a long time. It doesn’t help that our world’s future doesn’t have a good prognosis itself, but it’s an internal factor anyway that gets exacerbated by external factors.
Even with an SSRI+SNRI, it feels like a deafening sense of silent void for me.

World News@lemmy.world•Greenland PM Tells People to Prepare for Possible InvasionEnglish
9·1 month agoSeriously I think we could all do with less interacting with nuts. The kind of neutral objectivism that is celebrated in rational discourse is exactly what’s co-opted during these encounters.
I ended up writing paragraphs as a result of a back and forth between a conspiracy theory who thought NASA lies about space and Kirk alive somewhere.
Dude told me, “Nice try jew” in the end. I’m goddamn east Asian and told him multiple times, even writing in Japanese.
They take their ignorance as proof of their own enlightenment.
No, it’s because their noses are their penises.
“Bad seed”?! Loool. Oof, I didn’t know someone could slap my genetics.
