You never know when you might need to say "Help, I'm dying" in a foreign country, and the sooner you learn how to say it in the local language, the better your chances of survival are.

However, your chances of survival don't depend on whether you know the local greeting or not, since it's mostly used in a casual conversation, not a life-threatening situation. Therefore, one should 1st learn how to say the phrase "Help, I'm dying", and then learn the greeting.

There are 5 kingdoms; Kingdom Animalia, Kingdom Plantae, Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Minera, and Kingdom Protistae. Why isn't there another one for viruses, since they fit in neither of these kingdoms, due to the lack of DNA?

Anyone who knows how a skeleton looks like knows that there are spaces between the ribs. However, why does it have gaps between them? Why isn't it a single shell?

Whenever there is something wrong in a cell, the lysosome will digesting the cell itself, so that it doesn't disrupt any of the other cells. However, an example of when this should happen in cancer. Why don't lysosomes digest the cell then?

This is a public forum. The only relation this has to politics is the appearance of a famous politician in relation to a famous cartoon character with the same name as him. This doesn't promote may ideas whatsoever.

Ah yes, the floor is made of floor.

It will contribute to the centralization of the Fediverse, which is something that's not good, as competition is required.

One might say that multiple apps will be bad due to them needing to be very complex to suit to everyone.

However, many 3rd-party apps can provide extremely specific experiences, and with enough effort, you can find out what suits you. I'm using Memmy, since it contains the best parts of most of the apps I have used are designed this way. One app does not need to contain everything. In this case, quantity is better than quality.

One might also say that competition will create toxicity as people will pick sides.

I disagree. Nobody ever fought about whether Reddit is Fun or Apollo was better. That's because they both contain different experiences. It's like conparing apples and pranges; there's not point comparing them.

This is why I believe that there should not be an official app for the Fediverse.

That's why it will fail. One can just repost the same thing via a different instance, which the group that wants to censor them may not have control of.

Isn't it de-centralized though?

It seems like due to the downfall of Twitter and Reddit, people will be moving to the Fediverse instead, and since there is not much here, people won't be addicted to it anymore.

Additionally, it's open-source and de-centralized as well, which omits censorship. What do you guys think?

Won't it be confusing? Are there plans to merge both of them together?

This completely contrasts the idea of decentralizing the Fediverse.

It's not about watching the drama unfold. It's about watching the tiger die.

Imagine a movie with a powerful villain. Now, imagine that the movie just ends without us seeing the death scene. We just know about it due to the directors confirming it. Imagine Scar running away from the hyenas and the movie just ending with the text 'Scar was killed by the hyenas later on.' It would be mich better to see Scar getting killed, right?

That's why I want to go on Reddit. Not for hopes for Reddit's redemption, but to watch Reddit die in a blaze of stupidity.

I've heard it enough to know that it's harmless, paranormal or not.

Is there anyway to check up on the protests without helping Reddit?

[-] TheSmartDude@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Let's hope it's the former.

When I'm awake at late-night, I sometimes hear children laughing in the corridors of my apartment.

It sounds similar to how it does in the day, which means that it's neither quiet enough for me to not hear, nor loud enough to disturb me.

Usually, it's only for a minute or two, and I can ignore it if I want to, since it doesn't scare me that much.
