FediFuckerFantastico@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•is there a study out there to calculate the "kill count" of every day things?English24·2 years agoWhile you are correct that suffering is a better metric, there would be many in our society that would gravitate towards higher rated suffering items in the same way they want real fur coats and real leather in their Ferraris. That would backfire quickly.
FediFuckerFantastico@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decimates Twitter search results after Elon Musk imposes limits on reading tweetsEnglish1·2 years agoYeah that’s crazy, I was furious when they fired Victoria back in the day. It’s nice to see that Alexis Ohanian is the one who deserves the blame for that massive fuckup. Man that gives me a pang of nostalgia for the old days of reddit though. Interesting that the Wiki article points to Obama’s presidency and the 08 financial collapse as a “glass cliff” event.
FediFuckerFantastico@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When you say something is “red” it’s actually every color except red since red is the color being reflected off the object.4·2 years agoThat’s a thought exercise I first explored when I was tripping on LSD one time. Once you accept that colors could look entirely different, what’s to stop us from imagining that the entire makeup of our perception is adjusted to the individual, but the chaos of the universe keeps all of our unique perceptions in enough alignment that we can interact seamlessly with one another. The concept of an “alien green man” could be what someone actually sees the whole human species as, and the words “alien green man” just fit a different description to that individual, so when refrenced, that person envisions an alien being as foreign as the “alien green man” is to us, and can communicate with others on that concept.
Perception defines your experience

I’d have to look for it but I think it’s tigers that see green in a totally different way than people do.
FediFuckerFantastico@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•So where are we all supposed to go now? - The VergeEnglish6·2 years agoI just finished the Behind the Bastards podcast on Vagrancy. the destruction of the third place and destroying the ability to be anywhere for free without being hassled by the law has changed a part of America that was great. The freedom to exist is becoming elusive. The freedom to find common space with like minded people, that’s becoming hard to find too. I hope this place helps.
FediFuckerFantastico@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•The Boost for Lemmy app preview looks promising for RIF refugeesEnglish0·2 years agoThanks for that, I’ll be applying those tweaks on Connect myself. boost looks cool, I’ve bounce from Jerboa to Wefwef and now to Connect, I think I’ll hang out here for awhile unless I hear raving reviews about Boost
Agreed, I love coming here to contribute now that I can’t comment or upvote on Reddit. This platform will eventually be considered Reddits successor.
