We don’t know the conditions on that theoretical alien world. They could be post-scarcity, or alternatively, they could be threatened to the extent that no cost is too high.
I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or...
Human genetic modifications for improved physical/mental/emotional performance and aesthetics reasons. I’m sure furries will get what they want someday.
Designate a place in every room as, “the place I put things.” Use positive reinforcement to train yourself to put things down in that space. Every time you use a drop zone, give yourself an attaboy/girl. It needs to be big enough that it can hold a few things, keys wallet, cell phone, but not so large that things can get...
In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list....
It’s crazy to me that Musk isn’t throwing them a couple thousand dollars for their trouble. They’ve only commandeered a few accounts, it’s like .0001% of their balance sheet.
Google’s latest advertising campaign, encapsulated by the tagline “It’s all good with Google on Android,” is aimed at persuading iPhone users to switch to Android by emphasizing the simplicity and worry-free nature of the process....
This hasn’t been my experience, but I would recommend the site AlternativeTo to find a modern solution for a deprecated app. Usually, somebody else has filled the niche if the old one is gone.
The Character Sheet summarizes an early playtest of Critical Role’s upcoming fantasy RPG DAGGERHEART. TL; DR: it is NOT a D&D clone–task resolution is 2d12 based, results might be success or failure, and either can carry with it Fear, or Hope. There are classes / roles, sounds like MANY ancestries are planned. Highly...
This is so wrong. I don’t even know where to begin. We grow so much alfalfa (huge waste of water) and soybeans in the US to support our own and other countries’ meat farming, then we ship it across the world. You could find this out with a simple Google search. This is willful ignorance.
Greenhouse gas emissions - Meat accounts for nearly 60% of all greenhouse gases from food production
Water usage - it takes over 1800 gallons of water to produce e just one pound of beef.
In order to help, you don’t even have to go vegan. Reducing meat consumption is helpful too with something like “meatless Monday”
I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home...
Room-temperature superconductivity looks like it might be a step closer to becoming a reality. I need to steal some ideas, what technology would you put in a cyberpunk world that makes use of zero-resistance electronics without the need for massive cooling? Super-fast computers? Super-powerful magnets? Maglev? Railguns?
Previously, I hated the constant “Remove Hunter’s Mark” posts, or rolled my eyes at the sheer number of people all pointing out the obvious issue of your core feature just being a 1st-level spell, but I’ve finally switched over to the extreme that the Hunter’s Mark spell just shouldn’t exist at all....
