  • Humans rank between meerkats and beavers in monogamy 'league table,' but sheep are sluts.

  • This is actually a more interesting statement than one might think at first.

    When we describe the habits of various species of animals, it’s my understanding that once a description is obtained, you can look at more or less any particular member of that species and see pretty much the same behavior. Monogamy trends included.

    Not so with humans. You can find an average, describe trends, but pick any specific individual human and they’re almost certainly not going to behave as that description.

    Some humans pair bond for life and beyond, never seeking other companionship after one partner dies. Others sleep around constantly with dozens of partners in a lifetime. And everything in between.

  • Indie game studios have been making retro style games for longer now than the 8 and 16 bit eras they're copying.

  • This, but also pixel art is an art form in its own right. It started with technical limitations, but exploring the limits of those limitations has created something uniquely and independently appealing for its own sake. Good pixel art just looks better than a lot of 3d stuff. And these days you can chose whether or not to stick to all the original limitations or not, giving more creative freedom and flexibility.

  • Fat kitten

    Jump

  • People use imprecise language to describe their surroundings, news at 11. :)

    Yeah, not actually fat, but the person probably thinks of “fat” as a cute word to describe the floof.

  • It’s not clear from the photo… looks like it could be lighting on a skin wrinkle to me.

  • Terrifying

    Jump

  • Nope. It’s probably about as scary to nuts as, say, Monsters Inc.

  • School bus seats are actually designed to be safer in an accident without seatbelts. Buses distribute force differently than cars in an accident, the seats absorb energy differently, and the layout is different. I’ve actually been in a school bus accident when I was a child, I got thrown around a bit, but the design worked well— I wasn’t hurt at all, only startled.

  • What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom?

    Jump

  • I keep following it, it keeps looking awesome, it keeps not being done. :(

  • Have you ever tried to "acquire" a taste? (Ie. spent time eating/imbibing something you didn't like at first to start to enjoy it.)

    Jump

  • Funnily enough, Guinness was the first beer I ever liked, and I liked it first try. I greatly dislike most other beers. Which makes sense to me, given that most people who like other beers can’t stand Guinness.

  • Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030

  • Enshittification does not mean making things suck in general. It specifically means the business model of making a good product for users, then making the product bad for users and good for advertisers or data purchasers or retailers or whatever, and then when you have a captured market, making it worse for everyone to squeeze more money faster.

    Microsoft is not doing this. They might be sucking, and making a worse product, but it’s not following the enshittification playbook.

  • Why do you personally hate Christmas?

    Jump

  • I’m Jewish, but grew up Christian (my mom converted young). I deconverted in university… heh, going to a Christian university at that. So I gave up Christmas at that time. I kinda miss it— that is, I miss the quiet memories of decorations and sitting in the dark by the fireplace watching the blinking lights… but I definitely don’t miss the loud blaring parts. And you can’t avoid the loud blaring parts. They’re freaking everywhere.

    So I get to see all the things I never really liked about Christmas all the time. And it turns out that watching the channukah candles burn down with the lights turned down scratch the itch of what I ever liked about Christmas. So what’s left?

  • If you like everything to be organized, you don’t have OCD. If you like everything to be organized and fly off the handle and become extremely upset to the point of life problems when things aren’t organized… you STILL don’t have OCD (but you might have OCPD or autism or BPD or something else).

    If you don’t really like organization all that much, but are irrationally terrified that your loved ones will die if the cleaning supplies aren’t put away properly, and then you forget if they weren’t away properly, so you go back to check and oh good they were, but then you aren’t sure you checked so you have to go back and check again, and you can’t leave the house because you have to check again because your family will DIE if this isn’t done right… then you have OCD.

    OCD is not a like of organization. OCD is an anxiety disorder, an irrational phobia disorder.

  • Looks to me like the branches are making a sort of cup right there. Technically the rearmost branch would be the main trunk, but it’s only slightly thicker than the other three branches, which are strangely all extending at the same height on the trunk— either a mutation or a response to damage when it was younger, I think.

  • What wisdom from someone else has stuck with you?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that’s definitely an older generation problem.

  • To Lemmy people who came from reddit: Have you guys tried other fedi software like mastodon or sharkey?

    Jump

  • The use case of Reddit/lemmy is entirely different from Twitter/x/mastodon. In Reddit/lemmy, there’s a topic of interest, and people chime in. In Twitter/etc, there’s people of interest, and they discuss topics.

    I don’t care who is talking, I just want to talk about stuff. So the twitter style has zero interest for me.

  • I’m amazed people do this. I… don’t? I don’t have enough time in my life to watch the shows I like and genuinely want to watch, why would I sit and suffer through something I hate?

    But the comments are filled with people saying they do exactly that. So obviously it happens. I just don’t get it.

  • For me, it was Microsoft Ants

  • A boy and his blob. They made a modern sequel which lost a main gameplay component— puzzling out the puns for the various abilities, or at least making a hand written lookup chart. Just telling you that a punch jellybean makes a hole isn’t quite the same.
