I don't think that's called an accent, that's an affectation.

Human teeth also have sharp peaks and deeper valleys within them which is the case for the overwhelming majority of omnivorous creatures. Most obligate herbivores have flatter teeth or will regrow them unless they have teeth explicitly for a particular use case.

Source: You can check out scads of scientific resources on herbivores versus omnivore versus carnivore teeth. I assume you know how a search engine works, but here's a solid article on differences.

Also my sister has been one of the veterinary bigwigs at several zoos through her lifetime and we've had multiple discussions on it.

I used to have to use Advil about 3 to 5 days a week since nothing else worked on my headaches. It had been going on for about 15 years. I went to the doctor complaining about them multiple times and they apparently couldn’t find anything wrong. I was worried about destroying my guts with the pills after my wife let me know how bad they can be for you.

Went to a doctor that was shocked that nobody had tried the obvious… turns out my blood pressure was too high (and the pills were making it worse). I took some blood pressure medication and now I haven’t had a headache anywhere near that bad in close to 6 months.

I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I hadn’t experienced it but you may want to get that looked at.

Yup. That's why I started up a new community:

!actual_discussion@lemmy.ca

To quote our pinned thread:

Why did I make this community? Well, mostly in response to the rest of Lemmy and the way many otherwise interesting discussion threads fall apart into downvoting and groupthink.

I don’t like people making baseless accusations and defend people on all sides when people are wrong about their opposition. I hate it when people think they know what others think and project incorrect (and often evil) bullshit on each other. It’s important to maintain solid reasoning and conclusions, not just one or the other.

I hate people being wilfully wrong because their group fetishizes a certain angle of the truth instead of the boring reality of the situation.

Ideas are important and I don’t feel we can get out of the current shitty slump we’re in with political discourse unless we are able to clearly articulate ourselves and discuss the world we’re in.

You (and all of you who feel the way you do) are welcome. You won't always agree with everyone there. That's okay. We talk about it. We're grown-ups.

Now I'm confused... What do YOU call a normal North American muffin?

Like a blueberry bran one or something.

No matter the outcome of this, nobody is learning that lesson from this demonstration.

If you want to take a (more obvious) environmental bent, this is a terrible idea for them to do because all they're doing is causing vehicles to have to run substantially longer.

I wonder why they would kill old videos instead of just removing those 10-hour plus loops of the same song over and over again that nobody watches. You'd think those giant loop videos would be taking up far more space.

• Every thread against people not strictly aligning with Leftist politics will be boiled down to: “There are three types of people: reasonable people who agree with me, crazy fascists on the other side, and lily-livered wimps who can’t pick a side (and are also secretly fascists who just won't admit it)!”

• Anyone with passable writing skills will be downvoted because creating cogent arguments against them is hard, and heaven forbid anyone see a smart argument that doesn't align with your views perfectly.

• In a similar vein, people will use the downvote as a "fuck you" button without commenting or adding any value to the conversation whatsoever.

(Edit: Yes, yes. You're all hilarious. I may not have a button to hit, but fuck you too.)

I just looked on a VM I spun up for risky shit. It seems to be opt-in only.

Is it a good VPN? No. Is it worth the overreacting that Lemmy seems to do every time someone mentions Brave? No.

But hey, social media.

It can and has since I started using it about 3 years ago.

Embracer still owns all the IP. It may still happen if they think it's financially viable!

I don't have rich parents either. I got loans to pay my way through college. The system sucks.

But I didn't ask random strangers online to just throw money my way for no particular reason.
