Terry Pratchett posited that the shortest measurable amount of time is the New York second - the time between the traffic light turning green and the car behind you honking.

Important question: sorbet or ice cream/gelato?

It’s a fairly expensive treat, but Jenny’s makes a dairy free pint that’s coffee sorbet mixed with delightful coconut cream.

The coffee sorbet section is very bright and tangy, unlike any coffee gelato or ice cream I’ve ever had before. It juxtaposes really well with the creaminess of the coconut cream.

Usually I work on a pint over the course of weeks, having a few spoonfuls at a time. I demolished this within two days haha.

If someone puts my cast iron in the dishwasher the cast iron will still outlive them

Fairly big. Main issue is the house is really old so there’s a good amount of extra stuff that I’m opting to get. I think I got quotes as low as 28k from some companies, so the rivian would be 3 of those haha.

Yup, I feel that. My “new” car purchase this year was a used 2015 Nissan leaf that was like 6k. It baffles me how my colleagues budget their money. A rivian?? Son, that’s the cost of a new roof.

EDIT: I don’t know new car prices so I had to look it up. It’s actually almost the cost of two new roofs! The high end model is a down payment for a nice house in my market!

Nice gesture I guess, but kinda just the modern day pizza party

iPhones were released in 2007, so in 2008 smartphones hadn’t really taken off yet. We old.

Thanks! That’s a different way of looking at the problem that I hadn’t considered.

This is quickly becoming beyond my knowledge pool, but does this assume that all life is intrinsically linked to oxygen?

Earth has been quite obviously life-bearing for at least 2 billion years. We should have been wiped out long ago.

I believe the theory is that as civilizations broadcast a signal indicating life exists strong enough such that it is picked up by other civilizations, the dark forest theory applies. Essentially we haven’t broadcasted a signal loud enough to be picked up

Just passing through, no strong opinions on the matter nor is it something I wish to do deep dive research on.

Just wanted to point out that your original comment was indeed just a threat that did nothing to address OPs argument.

Nothing about your comment addressed why it should be treated differently if it’s ai-generated but visually indistinguishable.

When conservative media pushes the same news script to over 200 local news stations across the nation, it is dangerous to our democracy.

Multiple people are calling out that the mine planet wasn’t at 80% liberation while the child planet was at 45% - are you sure you didn’t check another planet by accident, or otherwise mix up your numbers?

If you just take a look at the memes the community made you’ll see that they’re all focused on Helldivers saving the kids, which is further evidence that you might’ve gotten the numbers wrong.

EDIT: I haven’t used this website before, but this dashboard shows that marfark was at 0% liberation until yesterday. I’m pretty sure you’ve gotten your numbers wrong initially. I think when you checked and the planet had 74k players, the liberation had RISEN to 39%, which is supported by the dashboard plot of marfarks liberationb& the timestamp of 2024-06-15T02:45:04Z shows 76k active players and around 40% liberation, steadily rising up from 0 before.

Yeah, there was a reason why there was a ton of “save the children” memes…

I think a day ago it was 40% kids planet and 0% mines, but I didn’t make it a point to remember. I want to say it was 7k players on mines, and 25k on kids.

effectively require a dedicated purchase. Rather than giving the kid yoru old motorola you kept in the drawer.

Ah right, because smartphones don’t need to be purchased
