Revealed: WHO aspartame safety panel linked to alleged Coca-Cola front group (www.theguardian.com)

It uncovered eight WHO panelists involved with assessing safe levels of aspartame consumption who are beverage industry consultants who currently or previously worked with the alleged Coke front group, International Life Sciences Institute (Ilsi)....

bobman,

How the fuck are you gaining weight by drinking something with 0 calories?

It’s like gaining weight from drinking excess water. It could happen, but it doesn’t really and any weight gained will be lost upon urinating.

bobman,

The vast majority of diet sodas have 0 calories.

bobman,

he reason for the name “coke ZERO” is that it had less calories, at least I’m pretty sure.

Pretty sure that’s not the case and coke zero came out while diet coke had 0 calories.

you’re more inclined to consume more of it.

That wasn’t the point. My point was that consuming more diet soda doesn’t result in weight gain because it has 0 calories.

bobman,

Lol, what?

Why would I wear a mask if I’m vaccinated?

Do you also put on a tinfoil hat?

bobman,

Vice is absolute drivel. Overproduced garbage to cover up the fact it has nothing to say.

bobman,

Funding the MIC doesn’t improve the lives of others. It exacerbates the disparity in wealth.

bobman,

The problem is that these people could have been employed doing something that benefits society more. They could be building infrastructure, or be employed in a public healthcare sector. You could get similar results by prioritizing teachers. That way you’d get a double benefit: Good American jobs and some sort of benefit for society. Instead they are wasting an insane amount of money building an absurdly overpowered military.

We are in agreement.

bobman,

‘All’ to me means “”“all”“” the servers my instance can connect to that contain that string.

It’s a very simple concept.

bobman,

Uh… no it’s not.

I’m sorry, but what you’re doing is actively making this service harder to use by suggesting that ‘all’ should only mean ‘the communities other community members have subscribed to that contain that string.’

Where do the community members even find the the ones to subscribe to? Oh, they use a third-party service or ‘just know’ because… whatever reason.

Gee, fediverse design strikes again. Sorry, it has to be said. It really does.

bobman,

Oh yes, it really is.

The implementation may not be easy, but the concept is very simple.

bobman, (edited )

Yeah. And I’m interested in retrieving all of the servers my instance is connected to that contain a string in that community name.

Why is this so hard to get across to you?

Why don’t you have a solution for how server members find communities on different servers in the first place? Are you really defending relying on third-party services and ‘other means’ to find communities on different servers?

I think that’s really bad design and a testament to why the fediverse is inaccessible to the general public.

bobman,

It should be able to search a list of communities available on other servers its federated with.

This would be a very simple feature to implement and should not cause significant overhead.

bobman,

since anyone can start an instance, when you search “all”, where should it search?

Easy! It should search all the servers your server is federated with! Servers should contain a list of their community names that can be easily and quickly queried by other servers.

bobman,

Thank you for sharing this!

bobman,

I… don’t think you know what ddossing means but okay.

Would it really be very easy? Especially considering once instances find your doing that, they just block you? Would it be worth people’s time?

Is there any way around this, perhaps querying a global repository of federated instances and sorting them by popularity?

In all honesty, you don’t have a point. If you did, third-party services already wouldn’t offer this. Seeing as they can, it’s clearly possible.

bobman,

Damn. Italians need to get their shit together.

I know they’re mad they’re not white, but come on.

bobman,

What are you talking about? I’m merely making fun of how all the racist italians would lose the racism game if hitler won. They would be next on the chopping block, for sure.

Sorry you can’t understand the nuance of my statements. Maybe you should ‘fuck off’ back to a reading comprehension class?

Fifty-seven swimmers fall sick and get diarrhoea at world triathlon championship in Sunderland (www.theguardian.com)

About 2,000 people participated in the events last weekend, which included a swim off Sunderland’s blue flag Roker beach. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said it would be testing samples from those who were ill to establish the cause of the illness and any common pathogens....

bobman,

“The war was already over and America just wanted to show off to Russia”

Stop right there. If the war was ‘already over’, then why didn’t Japan surrender until after being nuked?

bobman,

Not even remotely comparable. You should read up on japanese history during WW2 if you think otherwise.

bobman,

Lemmyers SLAM clickbait headlines with this one simple trick!

EPA Approved a Fuel Ingredient Even Though It Could Cause Cancer in Virtually Every Person Exposed Over a Lifetime (www.propublica.org)

The Environmental Protection Agency approved a component of boat fuel made from discarded plastic that the agency’s own risk formula determined was so hazardous, everyone exposed to the substance continually over a lifetime would be expected to develop cancer. Current and former EPA scientists said that threat level is unheard...

bobman,

How do you know?

bobman,

So you know Biden fired all Trump appointees and replaced them with his own?
