If you want to actually know, you eat it vertically instead of horizontally like most are taught. You honestly barely notice the core if you eat it this way, I do it to get a reaction sometimes. You can probably find videos online if you're not sure exactly what I mean.

What an absolute joke.

I can just imagine him writing it, hunched over, peck-hunting for the keys. He starts typing bombs. No, he thinks. Slowly backspaces. Starts giggling to himself as he presses the caps lock key. "This will show them how serious I am about my bombs!"

peck peck peck "B-O-M-B-S"

Probably sits back in his chair admiring it for a moment. "Perfect. Very strong. Very powerful bombs."

Then immediately starts typing about peace in the same shouty caps because why not? Everything deserves caps lock! BOMBS! PEACE! WHATEVER!

Then ends it with "Thank you for your attention to this matter" like he just sent out a memo about updating the office dress code instead of announcing he bombed another country.

It's such a weirdly formal, corporate sign-off after the most unhinged announcement possible. As if bombing other countries is just another agenda item he's keeping us informed about. Very considerate of him to loop us in on World War III via Twitter memo.

Absolutely deranged.

I'm sure this is probably useful and makes sense in some way, but it's really giving me rest of the fucking owl energy. I just can't follow it clearly after like step 9 or so.

It also assumes it is immediately deadly poison, and doesn't do something like cause early dementia 25 years later.

[-] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 36 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's a real mystery why a country that has over 3 million births per year is increasing in population after 1 million more people than usual died over a few years.

[-] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 76 points 1 year ago

If its true my guess is it happened across 2 different years and their crappy kid memory conflated the two.

Yeah they weren't banned in the 90s. They were developed in the mid 90s with a patent filed in 1998. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity adopted a moratorium in 2000, recommending that governments block field testing and commercial use of terminator seeds, but didn't yet ban research. In 2006 they expanded the moratorium, explicitly prohibiting field trials and emphasizing risks to biodiversity and farmers rights.

  • Water fluoridation reaches over 13 million Europeans through programs in England, Ireland, Poland, Serbia and Spain

  • Children in deprived areas benefit most from water fluoridation according to 2018 English health agency report

  • Over 70 million Europeans receive fluoridated salt through programs in Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland and other countries. Salt fluoridation is recommended when water fluoridation is not feasible

  • European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry endorses water fluoridation as "core component of oral health policy"

  • Fluoridated milk programs have operated in Bulgaria, England, Hungary, Russia and Scotland

  • Several European countries provide free or subsidized fluoride treatments through national healthcare:

    • Sweden: free dental care through age 23
    • Denmark: free dental care until age 18
    • Finland: public dental clinic access for all legal residents
  • Scandinavian schools offer fluoride varnish, tablets and rinse programs

  • Some regions in Europe have naturally fluoridated water, such as parts of Italy. Italian health officials support water fluoridation but don't implement additional programs due to naturally optimal fluoride levels in some areas

https://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/about/statement-on-the-evidence-supporting-the-safety-and-effectiveness-of-community-water-fluoridation.html

  • Evidence shows that water fluoridation prevents tooth decay by providing frequent and consistent contact with low levels of fluoride, ultimately reducing tooth decay by about 25% in children and adults.

  • evidence shows that schoolchildren living in communities where water is fluoridated have, on average, 2.25 fewer decayed teeth compared to similar children not living in fluoridated communities.

  • A study to compare costs associated with community water fluoridation with treatment savings achieved through reduced tooth decay, which included 172 public water systems, each serving populations of 1,000 individuals or more, found that 1 year of exposure to fluoridated water yielded an average savings of $60 per person when the lifetime costs of maintaining a restoration were included.

  • Analyses of Medicaid claims data in 3 other states (Louisiana, New York, and Texas), have also found that children living in fluoridated communities have lower caries related treatment costs than do similar children living in non-fluoridated communities; the difference in annual per child treatment costs ranged from $28 to $67.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9544072/

  • community water fluoridation continues to decrease cavities by 25% at the population level.

  • Even with fluoridated products such as toothpaste and mouth rinses, this public health practice can reduce an additional 25% of tooth decay in children and adults

  • In 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan became the first U.S. city to fluoridate its public water supply. Five years later, Grand Rapids schoolchildren were found to have significantly fewer cavities than children from the control community of Muskegon, and additional water districts, including Muskegon began fluoridating and seeing similar results

  • Studies have shown that populations from lower socioeconomic groups within fluoridated communities have less tooth decay when compared to peers in nonfluoridated communities

  • The cost of a lifetime of water fluoridation for one person is less than the cost of one filling

I'd wager the vast majority of people that don't know anything about another person's religion couldn't tell if what they're saying is true or not.

Circumcision, fasting, transubstantiation, without any knowledge or frame of reference there really is no way to tell if someone is just talking out of their ass or not when it comes to religious traditions.

Tried many apps since joining a few months ago, by far love this one the most. Has pretty much everything I could ask for and a really nice design.

One feature I feel like I'm missing that I had on the reddit app I used to use is a button on comments that let's you jump to the parent/ context of that comment.

I know you can follow the coloured lines/collapse the comments in between as a work around, but I really liked this feature for very long and convoluted comment chains to easily see what a comment is replying to.

Thanks for all your hard work on this app, it really shows.

Edit: Link.

The main hiccup is the system is off by a day. Some people "fix" this by saying the extra day should be "new years day" or something similar that exists outside the main calendar and doesn't have an actual date or day assigned to it. Personally I think that's kind of silly but it does work.

The second problem which to me is a much bigger problem, is he argues every month starting on Monday is a feature, I think it's a bug. The result of this is every date is the same day, every year. If you are born on a Wednesday, your birthday will always be on a Wednesday. I like it mixing up and getting to have your birthday on different days.

Also almost everyone will have a new birthday they have to learn and too many people would simply be unwilling to go along with that.

And all that is ignoring the monumental task of changing every computer system in the world.

Edit: also 13 is just kind of a rubbish number to work with and doesn't divide into anything nicely.
