What? Young earth creationists being unscientific??

Maybe god told them in a vision to cause the obesity epidemic

I mean I agree with the sentiment, but the seventh day Adventists were specifically making really low sugar, very bland cereals because they thought that would make people less horny or something. I don't think they are to blame for high sugar content

So shouldn't the same logic dictate that it is not acceptable to kill for culinary satisfaction, if nutrition can be gained without killing a creature? (Which is very possible in most parts of the world)

To me it is pretty clear that it's advertising the protein as plant based (which it is, from the looks of it)

What you calculated are not the chances of the opponent not beating you, you calculated the chance of getting the first hit. But it is the last ship being hit that will make you lose.

Imagine player A using a regular strategy, and B using this stacking strategy. Now imagine that B gets insanely lucky and sinks all of A's ships except their largest one, without missing any at all (while A keeps missing all their shots). So now, even after all that insane luck from player B, who has a better chance of winning? At this point, they both have only 5 spaces which can be hit, and any hit will quickly end the game, so they both have 50% chance to win right?

This means that clearly if B doesn't get insanely lucky in the first turns of the game, then A will have much better chances to win. A's chance to win reduces to it's absolute minimum at 50% when it has only one single 5-length ship left.

I doubt it is unpopular in Lemmy's demographic, but I think it probably is quite unpopular within the general population

Ikr, it's a bit like saying "I've been trying to catch the sunrise, for over 24 hours!"

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure it was weirdly complicated, like

1. Jesus comes down
2. All the dead believers are brought back to life
3. All believers are taken to heaven
4. Non believers are left on earth doing their own thing
5. 1000 years later, Jesus comes back to earth, raises everyone else back from the dead, then burns everyone/everything
6. Jesus moves heaven back to earth, which is now perfect

... Or something like that? Hard to tell which parts I got taught and which parts I hallucinated in a fever at some point

Edit: I looked it up and I am shocked at how well I remember it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh-day_Adventist_eschatology#Eschatological_events

I grew up around young earth creationists, and was taught at school that carbon dating is inaccurate to the point of uselessness past a couple thousand years. But interestingly they did not believe in hell at all. (They just believe all non believers will be burned to death once, with finality. Not forever)

Awesome. Feels a bit like a taro card, "the hanged man"

How long have you been under cover?

I tend to believe that it is possible to vent without resorting to racism. Especially when things like culture and ethnicity are used as distractions from the actual problems that make people's lives worse. It is the exact same kind of distraction as "the job market is bad because Mexicans are stealing all the jobs!" -> then some people start "venting" about the "lazy job stealing Mexicans".

If you want to vent, vent about the actual problems. Like "capitalism is the worst" or "I hate corrupt politicians", or whatever.

Similarly with gender, the patriarchy - the oppressive system of power, is the problem, not the actual gender that the people pushing that system tend to have. It is misdirected rage.
