I'd go back to the 1970s, the dawning of personal computer growth in it's beginnings. I'd take every single idea and patent from today and collect them all in a multiple series of binders. I would spend weeks holed up in some apartment, jotting notes, re-directing credits to me....
Get all the horse racing results for 1950 or so, take what money I have and gamble it until I have a decent amount, then stick it in a high interest savings account, come home and I'll be sorted for life.
But in reality, I don't think I would make the most of it, I'd love to just go look at stuff, turn up to one of the first Nirvana gigs where 6 people turned up, go for a walk in Pompeii 2 weeks before the eruption, sit in the poor seats watching a Shakespeare play at The Globe, watch mammoths migrate across Siberia. Seeing those things would be amazing.
Corbyn, who led Labour between 2015 and 2019, was initially expelled from the party and had the whip withdrawn in April 2020, under the leadership of his erstwhile ally Keir Starmer....
I (20m) am 6’5" tall. One of my female friends who’s 5’5" told me that my height makes my belly particularly vulnerable in case if I get attacked with a pocket knife, for example. Why is it so?
I like birding by Merlin, go for a walk, have Merlin on in your pocket, concentrate on the looking and spotting as you walk, then when you finish you get a surprise long eared owl notification.
I'm so sorry. Can you not sell some of the wine? Would he notice if it was a smaller collection? Just a reminder that financial abuse is abuse, control is abuse, there are shelters for people who are being abused which will get you out of that environment.
He's disgraced himself recently by talking about how he doesn't want his kids exposed to gays, I think that should kill a lot of the further left vote that he's trying to court.
I don't personally believe it's ever OK to celebrate death. Celebrating the end of a brutal regime is slightly different though and I believe at least part of the commenters are celebrating that.
It's very naive though, the regime was never one man, it will continue and people will continue to suffer.
I feel like that's the same as saying people are toxic or socialisation is toxic. Yes, toxicity can exist online, it can also exist in the supermarket, at school, in a field miles away from anywhere. It's just a facet of being with other humans.
Survival of the fittest just means the most adapted to the current environment. Our current environment has medicine so we're adapted to that. If that suddenly changes then sure it would be an issue, but so would a climate difference of even a few degrees, a slight difference in the chemical make up of air, etc.

Were you seeing it as a sort of squished body? I thought that from the beginning but then I realised the body was in a jar and that made it less creepy to me.
There was a bit where he tapped it and you could see it was surrounded by glass, then the metal bit was a screw lid. Not sure really why that's less creepy but up to then I was cringing every time he touched the eye.
You're a time traveler, what would you do if you went back in time to make the most of it?

Why does being tall make your belly more vulnerable in case of an attack?

Do minimalist bird photos of common species still count as birding? (lemmy.world)
I liked how this crow was just hanging out with a nice view in the background, so I thought this might give a good photo....

I assume most people here already are registered but just in case: here’s the link.
When it's ok to celebrate death?
Even though it’s against LW rules....
Who agrees that the Internet and social media are toxic?
A bit of a weird question: Can modern medicine be a threat to humanity long-term by greatly reducing effects of natural selection?
OK, I hope my question doesn’t get misunderstood, I can see how that could happen....
