Oh sure, hang an oil painting right above a woodstove. What could go wrong?

I've noticed that recently this community has had a lot of posts that have general, useful but not extremely important advice, like a lot of cooking stuff and such (I won't name any names but I think you all know what I mean), as opposed to what this community posted a while ago: very crucial information.

Any thoughts on this?

What is this flower? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Southern Finland. I've found these and some more bluish ones. They are fairly small (the flower itself is about 4-6cm) and have these long, pretty thick leaves. It isn't visible in the photos, but the petals have this glittery look on them. Here's one of the blue ones, in a vase: I've mostly seen them near yards or gardens, so I think they aren't native.

And before anyone makes a cheeky "what do you need this for ๐Ÿคจ" comment, I'm a writer. I'm not going to murder anyone I promise, I just want to write a scene where one guy gets poisoned.

I need something that doesn't require modern technology to extract/produce, and would make sense to be avaible in a place with a temperate to mediterranean climate. The slower, the better. Does a plant or something like that exist or do I need to make one up?

Update: I looked into death cap mushrooms and they might be just what I'm looking for! Long reaction time, and being dried doesn't make them less toxic! (the scene takes place in midwinter so no fresh ones would be avaible) If anyone has more info on them, please do share.

What even is fire? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Is it gas? What material is fire? Why does fire exist?

Transcribing the conversation here:

Recessa, โ†‘4 โ†“1: That's completely idiotic, milk exist because there's demand for it.

commie, โ†‘1 โ†“4: I think you understand that milk is produced as part of the mammalian reproductive cycle. can you describe the causal steps between demanding milk and it's production?

friendlymessage, โ†‘3 โ†“2: Do you think dairy cattle just randomly spawns on the planetary surface?

commie, โ†‘1 โ†“3: do you think there's a direct causal link between drinking milk and more being produced?

friendlymessage, โ†‘3: Are you fucking with me?

commie, โ†‘2 โ†“3: no. I'm trying to illustrate that markets are not governed by natural law; they are populated by irrational actors.

friendlymessage, โ†‘2 โ†“1: Yeah, but they're not as irrational as you are and producing milk costs money. If there's no market, they will stop because they are not fuckin lunatics and they don't have infinite resources

commie, โ†‘2 โ†“2: milk was farmed before markets existed. there is no reason to believe that will ever stop.

friendlymessage, โ†‘3 โ†“1: That... must be the dumbest discussion I've had in a while. Please read through your comments tomorrow when you're sober

commie, โ†‘1 โ†“1: I've been sober all day.

friendlymessage, โ†‘1: Okay, whatever you say

commie, โ†‘1 โ†“2: everything I've said is true. you're objecting to reality, and being pretty shitty about it to me.

friendlymessage, โ†‘2: No, you're just making a no sensical argument at all. Milk was farmed from dairy cattle because it was consumed by humans. It's simple supply and demand. There is no rational argument at all that if mankind stopped consuming milk, it would still be farmed. Why would any farmer go through the effort to upkeep cows and keep them impregnanted to make them produce milk if they cannot trade it or won't consume it? Yes, humans have free will but they won't produce stuff with very high effort just for fun. Except maybe very sick minds that just enjoy animal cruelty. And you won't elaborate what your actual point is anyway.

Also, not that it matters, but you're arguing that dairy farming existed before the market is simply wrong. There has been trade between human civilizations long before we started domesticating animals.

Oopsie poopsie, my attempt at becoming a dictator didn't work, sowwyyy!

Girl how on earth do you look like a supermodel 24/7 when you're living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, scavenging among ruins and debris for food so you won't have to resort to cannibalism??

This looks like a parody of all those bullshit incel images explaining how a woman's vagina will become loose if she's promiscuous.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 74 points 2 years ago

Not only that would be super cruel, it would also be pretty stupid, because how are you supposed to rehabilitate someone by basically just torturing them? And also, one of the good sides of prisons is keeping dangerous people away from their (potential) victims. Imagine if someone tried to murder you, went to jail, and then they got back out in 8 hours.

The chocolate industry also does a lot of slavery.

I have lately been pretty convinced that 70% of pickup drivers don't actually need a truck but instead use it to compensate their insecurity about their small dicks and their fragile masculinity.

European here, these are what different states or areas of the USA remind me of (like what's the first think I think of when I hear it's name):

  • Southern states: right wing twats
  • Alabama: incest
  • Florida: gators and really, really weird news headlines
  • Texas: stupidly large trucks, guns and cowboys
  • Alaska: cold, that one goldrush
  • California: expensive, liberal
  • Ohio: those fucking memes
  • Hawaii: warm, colonialism
  • Mississippi: riverboats
  • Washington: why the hell is the city of Washington not in Washington?

The words "seed-bombed the bed" make me very, very uncomfortable.
