If they think that the holocaust was in any means okay, they're the antisemite (+ spitting on several more minorities the nazis tried to get rid of).

@JWBananas Or maybe the antibiotic resistant genes are taking a hitch ride on larger particles? I don't know, that is probably unlikely, but we've seen they can hitchhike into the atmosphere.

kbiners, why'd You choose Kbin over Lemmy ?

@DONTBANTHISACCOUNT It just happened to me that I registered on here first. Since I didn't know about non-tankie platforms of lemmy...

So, I've been using mastodon a long time, several years in fact, and I never really understood all the folks complaining that it was too complicated; I mean, it was just always intuitive to me. Now maybe that's because I never really did the tweeter.

What I have done is a lot of reddit, and I gotta say, why the hell is this so complicated? :P

I'm only half kidding.

One thing that should always taken into consideration by software peeps is that when making a 'replacement' like this (dont tell me it's not a replacement for reddit, there's too much signal in the noise of this mag about 'reddit migration'), is that users that are relocating their operations will need extra handholding and assistance.

Unlike a lot of us, these peeps aren't casually learning how to do a new cool thing, they're typically perceiving some real and or imagined (Hey, both can cause a lot of stress and anxiety!), they're fleeing something, and trying to settle into a new, safer place; or so they hope.

I may sound like I'm 'asking for a friend', and I am, but that friend is me :D

Please, we need some kind of FAQ that says 'this is the reddit thing you want to do' and 'here's how to do it on kbin'. We need the next section to say, 'You can do these things on reddit, and not on kbin' and one more section in the FAQ that says 'These are cool things kbin does that reddit doesn't'.

A HUGE ask would be user style sheets to make it look and act more or less like reddit; really, as far as I can tell, there's only really a couple of big differences. Hell, it might suffice if we just had a FAQ that pointed out the substantive differences.

The biggest problem is, y'all just kinda 'sprung' the whole microblog/People/Threads on us; those single word descriptors are really only useful if you're 'in the know' already.

I've been posting off and on at kbin now for several months, hoping I'd eventually just soak it up; but it hasn't happened. I still keep screwing some things up here and there; just yesterday I was off to the races posting about some things, and managed to editorialize a title when I thought I was using post body to introduce the link. It's been sent to the ether, now.

I'm not in desperation about anything. I'm not a 'migrator' or refugee, or any of that. I do have a couple projects on reddit I'd like to bring here, I think this is the future of social media, and I think I will get a higher quality engagement here. I also have some projects already here that I'd like to get supercharged, and I can't really do stuff until I know the ropes..

So yeah, it would be great if the devs would drop some smooth pdfs or single page html or damn just if they'd 'own' a markdown document that could be loaded off any kbin page or something, that would be bad ass.

In the absence of that though (or something like it) what do y'all have out there, in userland?

Thanks for readin' muh screed.

I would be certainly up to create a (yet unofficial) Kbin Handbook/Cheat sheet/ whatever you want to call it

People like this can't be talked with, since they missed their lessons about what DNA even is.

Tomassci,

For the OOP, all they need to know to avoid the thought presented is two things: 1) you need to make proteins continually and 2) DNA serves as a template for making proteins. That's all they literally need to know to realize being without DNA is deadly.

Thanks for posting the reference, I had it in mind but didn't act

It's funny how we're discovering that any large company is like this... almost like capitalism rewards such behavior.

A New Illinois Law Shifts Repatriation and Reburial Power to Tribal Nations (www.propublica.org)

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law Friday sweeping reforms that for the first time will give tribal nations — not state agencies, universities or museums — final say over how and when the remains of their ancestors and sacred items are returned to them.

I'd say this is good news. It's not like those museums can't make replicas or anything.

The other day I heard a friend talking about how "the moon's gravity affects our internal organs." This sounds like bull, but is it? And if so, how would I correct their misinformation?

I think the reason some people might believe this claim is because we’re taught in school that the moon’s gravity causes the tides. I think the reasoning goes, “well if the moon’s gravity can affect the tides, surely it can affect smaller things too”

Tomassci,

I do think that in fact if you embrace your friend, he has a higher gravitational pull on you than you moon. Or so I believe, the math should work itself out.

They'll likely not improve their lives economically, since "that's their fault" but they'll blame it at minorities in a beat.

There's also the idea of organoids for studying development without having to study the entire organism.

This is one of the reason why I think this sentiment is America-imported. Nationalists will give you plenty of reasons why America imports "woke ideology" (whatever that means today) yet believe in an imported ideology themselves.

I could go and harvest some posts I made on Reddit for communities they could fit in, for example I've posted much into vexillologycj, and !vexillologyjerk seems to be active enough to provoke discussion on them.
