    You can tell OP does not believe any person outside of America is human.

    You did a lot more than conclude they have either been tuned out or need to re-think some things, and you know it.

    Get out of here with that "If you’re not vocally against every evil at all times… " bullshit. It’s got the same energy as injecting “but what about men?” into every conversation about women’s problems.










  • Limonene can either smell like pine or oranges depending on what way the molecule is mirrored.

    Damn, that’s interesting. My first thought on hearing that was wondering if pine scented cleaning products are a thing because it’s cheaper to synthesize limonene in both chiralities and then separate after the fact than it is to just synthesize the orange-smelling version.

    It doesn’t really hold up to much scrutiny, but it would be pretty damn cool if that fact explained both OP’s question, as well as explained pine-scented cleaning products!


  • On top of what you just mentioned, rather than Trump surrounding himself with incompetent toadies and yes-men, I think a lot of smarter, more powerful, and more dangerous people have taken the last 4 years to worm their way into his ranks.

    He’s established himself as a useful idiot. During his first 4 years we saw the idiot part glaringly. It was scary and embarrassing, but we scraped by and experienced a few years of relatively boring politics. My big worry is that we’ll see the useful part exploited much more effectively this time around.

    You’ve only heard people complain about leaf blowers on lemmy? Seems like a very common annoyance in my general experience, and this is about the time of year when they come out in force, so it’s not surprising people are going to complain.

    Also, leaf blowers are pretty damn high on the noise/utility ratio. MFers in my neighborhood will be out there for half an hour blowing around grass clippings after mowing, when the wind is gusting 20mph.




  • ‘big tech rigged the election’

    Isn’t Vance fully in bed with Musk, Thiel, Andreessen, and a cavalcade of similarly minded fash-brained techbros?

    That’s the G and the P in GOP. They are literally trying to rig the election with the help of a bunch of billionaire tech bros, but it’s totally okay because “Democrats did it first”

    And since the last election was over 1,000 news cycles ago, nobody will question whether that’s actually what happened.
