Sex hormones are powerful. Running through everybody's blood. Creating massive aggression, obsession and mental disturbance. What if we could remove their mental influence?

I’m talking about the fight/fuck/dominate hormones. Testosterone, estrogen. The reason why putting a pretty girl in an advertisement works so well. And it might explain a lot of aggression too....

All of these have very real physical effects, and human life cannot exist without them.

Creepy story! Do you still have the recording?!

Honestly I prefer it, once you get used to it and maybe tweak one or two things to your preference, it just feels super natural and smooth.

TIL that the Māori word for autism is "Takiwātanga" meaning "their own time and space." I also learned that it's not without controversy (see inside). (lemmy.world)

I thought the word and the definition sounded beautiful, but then I also learned that it was coined in 2017 and has been accused of imposing outside culture. Namely, here is a criticism I found on Twitter and Reddit but without further attribution or detail:...

This happened to me for years until I finally found a trick that works for me, which is that anos sounds more similar to anus than años.

It took a decade to set up, but watching it through all its sensors and cameras was mesmerizing fun: the fall of humanity.

Gotta mention The Thing (1982). Impeccable cinematography, sounds, colors, everything. Practical effects that are still unsettling today, and good old fashioned "humans are not enough and never will be" horror.

Mamma mia!

Enhance your calm: Demolition Man turns 30 | The film remains an under-appreciated gem of ‘90s comedy/action flicks (arstechnica.com)

Thirty years ago today, Demolition Man first hit theaters, pitting Sylvester Stallone against Wesley Snipes in a crime-free but killjoy future where even minor vices have been declared illegal. The passage of time hasn’t quite elevated this sci-fi action comedy to the legendary status of Die Hard or Lethal Weapon, but it’s...

Had fun doing some in this afternoon. Lots of dots, sized and colored based on noise.

Enjoyed getting back at it after some time away

A rainbow colored blob surrounded by other dots that continue the coloring pattern
This is dominated by a large blue blob that has a red outline. My son says it looks like a mouse. There are other dots surrounding it
A noisy cloud of colors that fade into dots

@TomLarrow I definitely see the mouse! The colors on these look so nice especially

You may want to look into that... mine sleeps for a day or two at least typically.

Wanting to move out of the US?

Hello, all! Longtime lurker on Reddit and now on Lemmy. I’ve tried looking into getting out of the US as things aren’t looking too great as I’m sure many of you know, but wanted some tips from those of us who have gotten out. Where did you decide to move to, and what were the things you looked at when deciding to move...

As an Ontarian I also gotta say the bit about the premiers is also spot on.

Corruption here (Canada) still happens federally and especially at the provincial level (like Doug Ford, which has many blatant examples and faces no consequences). Municipally (county level) I have not noticed as much, and my municipality seems to have a great local government that functions well... I've even spoken up and had a small issue resolved with little effort.

However I think you'll find if that kinda stuff grinds your gears you'll still have a better time in Canada than the US, despite the problems (and we do have problems).

Honestly, I can't give you the info you need as I haven't lived in Alberta... But it does have a reputation for being the most right wing Christian part of Canada, so compared to Oregon I'd say it might be a downgrade

This also came across well whenever someone tossed clothing off the railing.

Looking for a new car under $20,000? Good luck. Your choice has dwindled to just one vehicle (apnews.com)

At a time when Americans increasingly want pricey SUVs and trucks rather than small cars, the Mirage remains the lone new vehicle whose average sale price is under 20 grand — a figure that once marked a kind of unofficial threshold of affordability. With prices — new and used — having soared since the pandemic, $20,000 is...

Lol apparently having AC in your car is a privilege and not a basic feature... It's 2023 and it's just getting hotter, I want AC sorry

In that case I do kinda agree, guess I just misunderstood his point haha

I have heard that the newer strains don't show up on the tests, depending on the test. I got it recently, tested negative but it was my second time so I could recognize it and be fairly certain.

Or it keeps doubling even well after its surpassed the human population, and we all have to keep hitting "pass" in turns forever, and if even a single person gives up then boom.

Today's is actually yesterday's Creative Coding, but the first image here took nearly 24 hours to render, so I'm posting it tonight.

Inset circle packing using the Shapely library to help determine the radius of each circle to draw in

As fun as it was to wait in anticipation of the really detailed one, I prefer the simpler ones as you can see the pattern more clearly

(these are hard to see the pattern until you zoom in)

@TomLarrow love this system haha the results are so complex looking

Whoa thank you! Sounds really promising I'll definitely give it a try!
