Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.deto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities.22·3 days agoNah, I’m just gonna do what I’m doing. Commenting on stuff I like or am interested in and that’s it. I’m way too anti-social to do something like building a community.
Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•There is significant evidence that Grok actually inserted information about “white genocide” in South Africa into prompts that didn't appear to be related to this topic.English1613·4 days agoNazism is fascism, corporations and the wealthy LOVE fascism because that means they get more power and less regulation. Remember what Benito Mussolini, the founding father of modern fascism and all around shitbag, said about it:
Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.

Wikipedia has a pic.

Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.deto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Do they just think about the same fuckin' thing forever?English1114·5 days agoBees don’t die when they sting. They have a barbed stinger, human skin is elastic and that’s why they get stuck. Our first reaction is to swat or swipe on the site of stinging which rips their stinger off by force. If you leave the bee alone, it will wiggle and twirl around, trying to get itself unstuck and sometimes that is successful, sometimes they’re fucked. The bee didn’t really commit suicide when stinging, you killed it.
Also, did you know that the queen bee has almost full control over their offspring? It works like this: The queen bee only mates once in her life during the nuptial flight and stores the sperm in her spermatheca (like a sperm sac), the drone usually dies in the process because mating tears their endophallus off and the trauma kills him. After founding a colony the queen can now choose whether to fertilize her eggs or not and if she does, a female larva will hatch from the fertilized egg, else a drone larva will hatch through a process called haploid parthenogenesis.
The destiny of becoming a queen or a worker depends entirely on the diet the female larva is fed: all larvae are fed royal jelly (a special secretion from worker bees) for a few days and then worker bees are switched to what is called bee bread which is a mix of pollen and nectar while future queens stay on the royal jelly diet. The royal jelly lets the bees develop their ovaries, making them capable of laying eggs. Technically, all worker bees can lay eggs (which could only produce drones), but in a healthy colony, they will be switched off the royal jelly soon enough so that this rarely occurs.
So, in a way, worker bees can stage a mutiny if they are unhappy with their current queen by feeding a larva royal jelly, rearing a new queen.
Bees are awesome.

The AFO replacement was never meant to be taken seriously, it was just to make the bribery less obvious to his cult. It’s the classic seed of doubt that fascists like to spread, so their gullible supporters and enablers can calm themselves down before the cognitive dissonance that they actually just support/enable fascism sets in. All it was is a ruse, the aircraft was always meant to go to Trump’s “personal library after Jan 2029”.

Or is it the only thing he has left to convince his cult that is is playing 5D chess? Or is he simply a moron?

I took speed once with a friend and he was completely off the rails, I didn’t feel anything. Is that a bad sign?
