noo, actually, it makes sense evolutionarily. on high mountains and near cliffs and such, the winds can be unexpectedly strong. one moment you’re standing perfectly still 1 feet from the cliff, the next moment you fall over because the wind is pushing you. it’s really unexpected.

yeah because saying it gives you a moment to reflect on whether you properly pulled all the brakes, etc. .

yeah i do the same thing. i imagine supernatural beings are listening to what i say and making it come true; i suspect it’s my own subconscious steering me in a way.

well, i know that i’m not a good driver, that’s why i don’t drive!

my guess is that’s because people’s bodies are very different actually when it comes to the optimal diet and exercise routine

US is a senate cosplaying as a democracy

People think anything with protein is inherently healthy, and the more the better, even if their body can’t use all the protein they consume, so they’ll eat multiple protein bars, have meat with every meal, and drink a protein shake every day.

oh i wish that all the protein shakes contained at least a little bit of fat. for some reason, people unreasonably believe that all fat is bad. idk people think that “fat makes you fat” or sth which is very much not true

fat does not make you fat. carbs make you fat, because they give you energy faster than the body can use it. fat, on the other hand, does not provide energy so quickly. so it does not make you fat.

food, especially the “protein shakes” and such, should contain more fat, and less sugar. especially less sugar.

many people say farmers create the food, but actually, the plants do most of the work, they’re out there in the field every day, growing. while the farmers only visits twice a year: to sow and to harvest

i’ve always thought that it’s really simple. there’s extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation

extrinsic motivation is when somebody stands next to you and beats you with a stick when you do something that they don’t like. the result is i will do the minimum slop required to fit their criteria, like when i’m asked to do the dishes, i’ll just make them look clean without actually scrubbing them.

intrinsic motivation is when i see the meaningfulness of an action, at which point my body starts acting towards that goal automatically.

volcanic eruptions can be pretty big btw

this one here caused a famine as a side effect for example

well i’ve made good experiences with the papers of NTRS (nasa technical report server) especially with regards to water on mars. some are very well written. but yeah, in general, there’s a lot of papers that suck, especially in psychological medicine and sociology field.

eventually we will put cars on some kind of ground-based guiding track to help with autonomous navigation, which i guess will be simpler than using these video-recognizing chips. and we could also add some cables above the street sothat the cars can recharge while in movement.

the chinese competition is the best thing that happened to american spaceflight in the last few years. we need a kick in the butt, and we’re getting one

well, if they come here to play at my city, i’d like to watch them :3

here’s a link to the ActivityStream documentation about this: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#places

obligatory thank you to the devs! you did a great job so far.

there’s still a lot of features that i’d like to see getting developed, like integration with other fediverse services (mastodon, pixelfed) and such, but i guess that it’s just difficult and just takes a long time to be properly done

also i’m donating like $10/month

i guess it would be a client-side setting or maybe a property of your account, only known to your server operator.

i mean i guess it is but if it ends up being 5000 different communities for 5000 different places … it accumulates and cloggs the feed.

ooh! would be cool if it was lemmy-compatible!
