Canada will be the first nation to start printing warnings directly onto individual cigarettes in a bid to deter young people from starting smoking and encourage others to quit....
I can't wait to overhear people sharing conspiracies about it, like they did with Tim Hortons and nicotine-lined coffee cups.
"The government is printing circuits in the warning messages so they can spy on you while you talk during your smoke break!"
"I heard it's full of chemicals to make you compliant!"
"I bet the only reason you really get cancer from these is because of the ink!"
Seems like a retaliatory move for Threads. Might need to be careful of this for the same reasons, too. "Publish articles" screams threadiverse to me, so maybe he's also trying to move in on this gig before the communities finish establishing themselves?
I don't know anything about the Netherlands' civic structure, but if it's anything like the model spread around by the British, then they were probably staring down the barrel of a no-confidence vote, which would effectively end the same way.
I really loved @FixedFun 's idea for the kbin mascot, so I decided to refine it a bit and make some color alternatives. All credit to them for this wonderful idea! I merely refined it. Note, the circles beside the logo are just a color pallete swatch, not actually meant to be apart of the logo....

I think most of us who moved here from Reddit are enjoying our time here on kbin.social. We've left a lot of the riff-raff behind us and made new friends with intelligent, thoughtful members of kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.....
So let me start off by saying that I recognize that there was initially a genuine problem with people who didn't want NSFW content being exposed to it....
The downside is investing tons of time making and testing code that ultimately accomplishes nothing that wouldn't also be achieved by making your own instance.
Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It's the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.
Researchers have newly discovered a surprising and potentially significant reason why eating foods frequently cooked at high temperatures, such as red meat and deep-fried fare, elevates cancer risk. The alleged culprit: DNA within the food that's been damaged by the cooking process.
Maybe I missed some context, but wouldn't most Reddit engagement come from top-level post browsing?
I'm not ashamed to admit that I reflexively open Relay to browse Reddit. Between that and lots of people scrolling the "Best"/"Hot" page for news, maybe most of the engagement is just surface-level browsing?
