doing god’s work - thanks!

hold up… I thought proton for good left the fediverse, starting with mastadon for the centralized socials?

two things I feel into a rabbit hole about recently were how LSD became illegal and the Fermi paradox.

so LSD, once hailed as a powerful tool for psychological healing and spiritual exploration, became illegal largely due to political and cultural backlash. as the drug became associated with the 1960s counterculture, anti-establishment movements, and civil unrest, governments—particularly in the U.S.—moved to criminalize it more out of fear of social disruption than scientific reasoning. the backlash overshadowed promising medical research, leading to decades of prohibition.

the Fermi Paradox points out the contradiction between the high probability of alien civilizations existing in our vast universe and the complete lack of evidence or contact with them. despite billions of stars and potentially habitable planets, we haven’t seen signs of intelligent life—raising big questions like: Are we alone, or is something stopping civilizations from contacting or surviving long enough to do so?

My Feedly mainly

+1

I also never liked the twitter format of “tweets”, there’s too much going on at once and I feel overstimulated

I’ve learnt this the hard way, but ALWAYS (LITERALLY FUCKING ALWAYS) assume you’re the smartest in the room. People are dumb as fuck on average.

I wouldn’t say the UK was the second most influential—realistically, that spot goes to the US. And I’m not even a big fan of the US right now, but their industrial power, global logistics, and role in both Europe and the Pacific made a massive difference. Without their support, especially through Lend-Lease and D-Day, things could’ve turned out very differently.

sounds like when my dentist power sprays the fuck out of my rear teeth and asks when I’m next going on holiday

Heard this too, our guide on safari in Etosha National Park (Namibia) said Hyenas have the strongest biting power - comparative to their overall sizes - in the world.

EDIT: okay, just fact checked myself - that’s not entirely true. when measuring BFQ (comparative to size) the order goes:

1. Tasmanian devil
2. Jaguar
3. Wolverine
4. Spotted Hyena

I may have missed the train here, but since when do we dislike Peterson - what has he done? My opinion towards him was always meh (at best), so genuinely curious?

copy that - thanks for the hint. honestly, if it doesn’t work in the future, I’ll probs just cancel my account with them

Revolut works fine for me still on Graphene?

meaning they had to have a concept of inside and ventilation, which is wild. how else would they have invented in vent?

+1, Qwant is awesome

oh yeah? well my grandma’s 212 year old great grandpa picked it up within seconds.

Debian?

+1 for magic earth, great for navigation. Organic maps has a more natural UI though I find, when looking for places around you
