I don’t like Hawaiian pizza

I hate starting puzzles by doing the border first

The universe (or at least Earth) is a factory that produces endless suffering, and it would be better off deleted.

Many Lemmy users' (understandable) hatred of AI seems to have stunted their abilities to keep up with AI advancements. Some of them even sound like they're at least a year behind.

This is probably fine for most of them (sometimes I envy that, tbh), but some of them might be setting themselves up to be blindsided.

BTW, for people who absolutely hate the idea of learning AI, but might have to: I get it. I did too. Maybe I can offer a weird perspective after being forced to cross over to the "dark side"...

The Kinks are better than The Beatles

Every conversation about the high incidence of SA experienced by women in our society devolves into whataboutism and scenarios where men were victims of false accusations or a bad divorce with accusations and the women being honest or discussing women’s trauma gets downvoted. I thought lemmy would be better but it’s really not

Mathematics is something anyone can enjoy.

Downvotes take me, I'm ready.

Millionaires must die for humanity to survive.

The "running man" hypothesis -- the idea that our ancestors a million or two years ago were casually jogging after prey animals until they dropped from exhaustion due to our supposedly superior endurance -- is utter nonsense. It's absurd on its face and there is absolutely no evidence of any kind supporting it, yet it has become generally accepted as an incontrovertible fact about our past.

The man who initially proposed this idea in the 1960s (Grover Krantz) has become utterly forgotten and is never referenced by the idea's modern proponents, and for good reason: he was better-known as a staunch believer in the existence of Bigfoot. Also, for no reason I've ever been able to figure out, his skeleton and the skeleton of his favorite dog are on display at the Smithsonian.

Honestly think that some gatekeeping is good, just memorize the lore, be chill, be respectful and don’t be immature, not everything is for everyone

Watermelon and gravy tastes good together

America was a terrible hegemony but better than the alternatives, as we'll soon learn.

We should try a worldwide intermediary period of 25 years where men would be barred from participating in politics. No mandates, no votes.

I was a long time android user, 20+ years maybe, I don’t know. Anyway, I Switched to iPhone a few months ago so I could easily share calendars with family and use location tracking and AirTags. The phones are basically the same as Android. Different but the same and not as big a difference as I thought. Less different than moving from windows to Linux or gnome to kde or pen to pencil.

Rally against Apple or Google or whomever but I was able to just move on with my life and have a bit more convenience with my family. It’s fine.

We need to bring back testing to vote. No, not the intentionally obtuse Jim Crow kind. Basic civics knowledge like what year it is, what are the branches of government, etc...

"Forrest Gump" is one of the most overrated movies in recent decades.

they should eliminate the way jurors are selected, mostly because its poisoned fruit from the tree. because people are inconvenienced the moment they get the summons(ripping away from your jobs, and your income).

they should have a jury hiring selection instead, paid an actual wage of that state to be a juror, but have alot of them to prevent biases and its volunteering not "conscripted" by rotating between groups, because alot of retired people, or people who want to be on jurors never get CHOSEN. at the moment most jurors are biased asf in most cases, of the types they choose.

i also liked another countries method of jurors, having judges to determine the case and decide like a juror would instrad, because they know a layperson is going to be more biased regardless of how they are chosen in a juror pool.
