sometimes wiki on specific biology/botany related stuff, and peer reviewed site on different categories of biology.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

Idk man, I know the methods can be a little math heavy for the uninitiated. But if you look up some statistics classes on you tube, it really helps with even non scientific stuff. It's probably the only math I haven't lost over the years.

Depending on time of year: nhc.noaa.gov

We have Wikipedia as the home page and check it daily for photo of the day, fun facts and news. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Oh and Lemmy lmao

[–] habitualcynic@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Eww gross, that fat blob rapist is on there today. Otherwise, thanks! Didn’t know this about Wikipedia

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Lmao yeah, but it’s the news section that’s mostly/supposed to be fully non biased so yk lol

And the fact that it's not Putin says something.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)
  1. Putin
  2. Trump
  3. Xi
  4. Kim Yong Un
  5. Hun Sen

Top 5 dictators the world should be freed of.

  1. Erdogan
  2. Mohammed bin Salman

Any more?

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like plenty of death fantasies for one person.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Sad reality of the world that we have so many evil leaders that the world would be better without.

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Hoping that them dying solves the issue assumes they'll get replaced by someone less evil, which isn't always the case. Death doesn't fix the broken system that got us those leaders in the first place. It only satisfies the primitive human desire for vengeance.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Nah it absolutely creates change. If you take a look at history when a despot dies change follows. Not always for the better but it creates an opportunity for justice and sometimes opportunity is all you need.

I showed the site to my wife. She chuckled.

Kids copying a funny idea poorly. The original version was this site that tracks whether Abe Vigoda is dead:

[–] ___@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 22 hours ago

And Cloudflare protection on it as well, that surprised me

Word play rather than logic puzzle.

As long as you know that Finviz sells a story, and not the truth then that's good.

Altoc seems cool but is any there way I can tune it for my local news?

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 1 points 11 hours ago

those are awesome, thanks 👍

[–] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Alltoc is new to me. That's a really nice site! Thanks for sharing!

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

wunderground. Can filter down to the zip code to see the weather in your area, and it’s more accurate than most other sites (looking at you Apple weather).

[–] unknown@piefed.social 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Do you know if there's a way to change the scale to Celsius?

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

There’s a settings button at the top right to switch to C.

[–] unknown@piefed.social 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Oh wow I really need to try and sleep, that took way too lomg to find.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Nah it IS a bit confusing, especially when you’re browsing on a phone. Took me a while to find the Hourly forecast tab when I first checked it on my phone. It’s much better on desktop.

[–] unknown@piefed.social 1 points 8 hours ago

It's still pretty good on mobile though, being able to get data from my local weather station as opposed to a general city average is incredibly useful. Thank you for sharing this.

[–] dwt@feddit.org 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Lemmy (App). RSS otherwise. Websites suck for Daily checking

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yep, it's accessible through the UI when you're viewing a community's feed, to the right of the sort type chooser.
