They can’t make it themselves. Little fire cucks. That’s what made us really pop off. 14 billion years and only planetary scale forces could do that and then boom, some monkeys figure out if you hit two of the right rocks together in just the right way you can start fire anywhere anytime.
Plenty of creatures have sticks. We’re monkies with fire, nothing else has that.

World News@lemmy.world•Iran war halts Qatar helium output, threatening global tech supply chainsEnglish
1·2 days agoChina will likely start lunar He3 extraction within 10 years. I’ll still be driving the same car unless the US government gives me a EV for my shitbox. There’s still a minimum of 3 more years of trump.

World News@lemmy.world•Iran war halts Qatar helium output, threatening global tech supply chainsEnglish
5·3 days agoThey’ll extract the helium then pump the hydrocarbons back down. Extracting helium from the moon is going to be big business some day. Its loaded with helium 3 which is the best helium. Would be a waste to be used in anything but fusion reactors but that might be the only helium available. Then there’s also the possibility of companies running fusion reactors not as a power source but as a means of element production.
My goals for today are to find at least 1 cool rock and see at least 1 cool bug.

11·4 days ago“Terrorism,” as defined in the FRAA, is “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents.”

At least there isn’t an organization of masked clandestine agents committing politically motivated violence against noncombatant targets in the US.
Most of my internet career has been trolling/shitposting. It started with yahoo answers. My contribution to reddit are years worth of posts that are like 80% true but with absolute bullshit slipped in here and there. Most humans who have been on the internet understood that. But now that’s all been fed into most LLM training data and it will never be plucked out. I’ve been poisoning AI for 20 years.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technologyEnglish
12·5 days agoI was trying to figure out where edm fits in to that but yeah, it was mainstream by the 90s. Started in the 70s, by the 80s there were defined raves for edm. But its hard to look at rave culture/edm as a whole since its so old and widespread. UK edm was different than US edm which was different than Latin American edm etc. Then all the divides within edm. House ravers didn’t want to go to hard style raves. Hard style ravers didn’t want to go to trance raves, etc.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technologyEnglish
331·5 days agoI grew up around a lot of juggalos. The music is kind of just a small part of the culture, it really is an entire culture, one based on acceptance of anyone. At least in the 2000s there wasn’t anything else like that. Old heads gatekept punk, they had officially declared punk was dead. Metal was mainstream. Eminem was the only “credible” white rapper because he had street cred from Detroit. If you didn’t feel like you fit in, the juggalos were there saying you’re welcome here. If you decide to call yourself a jaggalo, then you are, and you’re apart of the family. No interrogations about what music you’ve listened to your whole life, when you got into a specific scene, what socioeconomic background you have.
And yeah your second point about rap is 100% true. I saw $uicideboy$ come and go. I remember in like 2014 they were underground, I really fucked with them. They made over 500 songs, had a huge following for the time, and were doing great. Then they signed onto universal to release iwtdino or whatever in like 2018. Never felt more betrayed. I really fucked with yung lean too, but he straight up said he was going to sell out. He was gonna get money. I respect that. $B are just corpo shills now acting like they’re underground while being the most mainstream corpo rappers to exist currently.

Crazy Fucking Videos@lemmy.world•[Video] British journalist Steve Sweeney bombed by Israel while reporting in LebanonEnglish
66·5 days agoThat’s pretty much undeniably a mk82 warhead. Which are fitted with different tail sections and other guidance systems for whatever they want to be used for. If the report is correct in that it was a 200lb load with 300lbs of metal, that would be the mk82 mod 7. Which likely has a Israeli tail section made for low altitude deployment with high precision.

I wanted to post this but when I searched for “everyone jacking off on the train” for the copypasta, I got… distracted.
Nice, can make a lot of piss with that.

science@lemmy.world•Idaho once dropped 76 beavers from airplanes (Don't worry. They had parachutes.)English
1·14 days agoUmmm no? They’re evolved to be incredibly hydrodynamic. They’re just looking at their shape when they’re walking on land. If you just dropped them from a high altitude I expect they’d have once of the highest terminal velocities for their weight out of all mammals.
