If it makes you feel better, I have no idea who that is because I was already an adult when it came out and had no desire to see it.

Doesn’t take a lot of observation to see that small rodents are in fear of just about every encounter, largely because that’s what keeps them alive.

and let the birds, mice, etc… live without fear.

LOL, that’s not really how mice and small birds work.

Was he eating the cheezits or the box though?

LOL. I mainly got the idea of using genetic modification to increase diversity of a small population from the book Seveneves.

It seems very plausible that if you can make a generation ship, you could make something like CRISPR to artificially increase genetic diversity/eliminate potential birth defects. Or perhaps just store genetic material for more people than the actual colonists on the ship. You’d probably want to hedge your bets in case there’s a low survival rate. There’s a lot that could go wrong. Ecosystem failure, negative effects of radiation, or just good old fashioned murder.

This is maybe the worst implementation of this template I’ve seen.

Oh no, boobs.

The Karen thing is weird to me because it’s a pretty typical name and I know multiple karens. But it must be generational since it appears to have had a dramatic drop off in the 80s.

And by inverted you mean inverted from their proper inverted position. So uninverted. Which is the inverse of correct.

I dunno why they wouldn’t display both. Also cynical me thinks this is a more useful change for advertisers than users.

That said this would probably be useful for post ranking on the back end, if they’re not already using it. There’s always been a noticeable thing on reddit where posts on large subs with little activity don’t seem to bubble up much on /r/popular. Which makes those subs seem even deader because they don’t get new blood.

Yeah realistically society would be fucked if people didn’t age. You think we have generational wealth now? Ho boy.

Yeah app purchases sure went to shit, didn’t they? Sorry turns out buying an app one time for a small fee isn’t good enough, we need you to buy it again every month.

I think life situation is probably more important than strictly age. If you’re an independent 30 year old working a full time job you probably don’t want to date a college student that lives with their parents.

I thought this was going to be an ICE joke. Mario definitely overstayed his mushroom kingdom visa.

There are nerds in every generation.

It’s no different from posting on usenet back in the day. You have to assume it’s all completely public. People are gonna train their AIs on large public text repositories whether they’re given permission to or not.

The fact that I get this makes me think I’ve wasted too much of my life on the internet

“Oh haha sorry I was talking to my cat”

I really wonder sometimes if people are actually so bad with using their words or if they just play it up for Internet clicks.

It was potentially defamation when it was just women…talking to one another, too. This seems like a pretty solid case of men looking at something women do to protect each other, and saying “…but what about the men who could be negatively affected in some cases?” I also think the tone in which this is being discussed is pretty revealing about Lemmy’s demographics.
