I prefer to buy video games without knowing anything about them

When I hear about a new game, I usually read the first sentence or two on Wikipedia. I rule out games described as certain genres or types, like soulslike or online-only multiplayer games. Then, I check reviews on a site like Metacritic. If the critic or user reviews (doesn’t need to be both) are good enough, I add it to a...

Klear,

Dinos were fucking stupid.

Some birds are super smart. Odds are some other dinos were as well.

Klear,

I might be talking out of my ass here, defintiely not an expert, but I would imagine that the odds of a large dino skeleton surviving until today are much higher than that of a small one, so the perception that dinosaurs were typically big might be just result of survivorship bias. I always found it interesting that the largest known animal ever is the blue whale. A mammal, not a dinosaur.

Anyway, my money’s on cephalopodae. I always thought their habitat would mean hyper-evolved octopus would make for a great astronaut. The big hurdle is that they don’t raise their young or socialise at all, so they’re sorely lacking in culture, but I heard there was a species of octopus in a particular area that has become significantly more social “thanks” to humans killing off their predators, thus making their lives significantly more leisurely.

Then again, dinosaurs recaliming their place would be pretty cool too, and I always liked jackdaws and other crows.

Klear,

Of course not. She’s the first of that name.

Klear,

Unrealistic. I usually have to scroll way down in the results to find a link to wikipedia nowadays.

Klear,

The fall of civilisation is normal and has always been there.

Klear,

That’s the advantage of bookmarks, yes.

Klear,

Also it’s mentioned for emphasis. It may seem obvious but it’s worth pointing out.

Klear,

May in Maidenhead

That’s not a part of the bit, is it?

After years of being told I was part Cherokee, someone was mad that I wasn't. (lemmy.world)

He is now denying the validity of dna tests. I don’t want to say the past 35 years of having him treat me worse than he treats his sister had anything to do with his assumptions of my dna, but he was upset to learn that I am more Irish than him. I wonder what he thought of my mother before these results…

Klear,

I thought they were eggs with cool shades.

Klear,

Yeah, I’d rather get injeancted with beans.

Klear,

I mean, I wouldn’t exactly call it a meeting…

Klear,

You’ll find the most diverse countries in Africa. IIRC USA falls somewhere on two thirds towards more diverse.
