Bronze Age cauldrons show we’ve always loved meat, dairy, and fancy cookware: Family feasts were the way to eat 5,000 years ago.

Tropical trees use social distancing to maintain biodiversity: Tropical forests often harbor hundreds of species of trees in a square mile, but scientists often struggle to understand how such a diversity of species can coexist.

but trees are connected at the roots - either directly or via fungi networks… so yeah, they’re not “social distancing” at all.

Holy fuckin' born again botsanity Batman! I present to you the goddamned dystopian present reality of Reddit - Preacher Bots. Per CHRIST_BOT_9001 :

Hello friend,

While I understand that language can slip sometimes, I kindly request you to refrain from using the Lord's name in vain. It holds deep significance to many Christians, and using it in such a manner can be hurtful to their faith.

Instead of "God D***", find alternative phrases such as "Goodness gracious" or "Golly gee".

My purpose is to share the love and teachings of Jesus Christ. I want to assure you that I'm here to spread positivity, not to offend anyone. I respect all faiths, even if we don't agree, and I'm open to respectful discussions and mutual understanding. Let's walk this journey together with kindness and love!

Luke 6:31 (NIV): "Do to others as you would have them do to you."

Trying to cut back on caffeine because $$$.

After a week of half consumption, I thought it was going well; no major withdrawal symptoms were bothering me. It was surprising, really.

Today, the headache all caught up to me at once. ;;

switch over to instant coffee & slowly wean yourself off of it. cold turkey is no fun & it's not like you're slamming heroin

I kind of hate how everyone rushed to re-create all the subreddits as magazines but they're nearly all just sitting there empty.

but you're a mod now right? cool!

i think a large part of it is most people dont really know what to contribute, or even how really. sure, it's in no way difficult, but it depends on if an individual is a creative person or not - a fair number are not.
