I have yet to experience one but bidets seem like the dream.

Tf is a bum gun

Oh no, I’m not washing my ass with soap every time, but I commend you for commitment to the cause.

Have you checked with a doctor?

That doesn’t sound healthy

I do several rounds as well and I can tell you washing with soap and water using a bidet is much milder than wiping yourself raw with toilet paper. Washing once per round also takes the same amount of time as wiping several times until you feel “clean”.

I don’t eat American white bread either, most other Americans I know eat sourdough or ‘actual’ bread, not that weird loaf of angel food cake they call bread here lol

Read the introduction. It’s complicated but mostly race is arbitrary. But that’s the whole discussion I want to bring to people for awareness of concept and language.

Yeah I’m stopping using Reddit because of how fascist things are now around the world, in hopes of keeping access to my similarly old account because there may be a lot of porn on there, but there’s also a ton of good resources and important things.

Maybe if things turn around in a few years, I’ll consider resume using reddit. But the more-intelligent-than-a-rock part of me knows otherwise.

Too many people getting banned for fascist and sketchy reasons. So instead of participate there, it’s now just an archive to me.

Well the problem with trying to subdivide humans is that

A) it’s actually really really hard to do, so hard in fact that it’s impossible and is a pseudoscience B) it basically always results in comparison. Which gets bad REALLY quickly because suddenly there is a better or worse, an inferior and superior.

I’m not saying we aren’t different, I’m not saying that.

But, as far as species, we ARE all the same. You, your sister, your neighbor, your great great great grandfather. We all have our differences and generic differences, but they’re infinitesimally small, we are just VERY good at telling the differences because we’re so used to staring at the same face over and over.

There’s just so much crossover and mixing and volatility. People can change from one to the other or halfway and stuff, there’s no clarity. Like, me, for example: I’m a mix that people look at me and get very wrong 95% of the time. And then if I have kids with somebody that doesn’t have the exact same mixed heritage with me, it’s like… Wtf do you even call me?

And then if you learn some anthropology and learn that long thin limbs and people are from hot climates close to the equator, and short ratioed people are from further (surface area to mass ratio, keeping warmth) away from the equator where it’s cold.

Like… You can be vague and descriptive a little about it, but when you realize that reality is just that we’re all the same species, with no limits to interbreeding, it makes so much more sense.

Let’s say you take a pale-ass white guy and strand them near the equator for ten years outdoors. Does that guy suddenly become a different breed or race or whatever you want to call it? No… it’s the same person, the same species, even if he looks different - he just adapted and his body is like “holy fuck it’s hot and I’m trying my best to not get skin cancer and the right amount of vitamins from the sun”.

And same thing for brown skinned people (let’s just say Mexican natives). You take a young couple with darker brown skin, and move them to norway or somewhere cold with VERY little sun (latitude). They are going to lose melatonin in their skin and become paler. Let’s say they have kids and you inbreed them for a few generations. They will get progressively more pale, and start to look more adapted to the region, likely even take on regional issues.

And the reason why is because we’re all the same type of monkey. (Not actually monkey because that’s a different offshoot, but primate; we’re great apes!).

You’ve never had infants around other infants.

We all have the same child. They all act the same behavior is the same… Patterns are the same Etc…

Humans don’t really start to develop in different directions and speed until they are like 18 months old.

Our coloring and physical features might not be the same… but the basic operating system and internals are all the same across humanity.

Breeds are defined by organizations that determine breed based on lineage, followed by conformation. They do not align across different countries. Dogs have the AKC, CKC in America. They don’t follow the same definitions. It also causes lots of issues to classify things like this and leads to bad decision making by lots of people. Even as it is now, there’s no clear definition for things like Pit Bulls. There’s also a ton of health issues that arise from defining breeds and trying to follow this logic.

Humans are not controlled and bred based on these things so a Breed Standard would not be possible. There is simply a continuous line of people.

Perform a cluster analysis on dogs - they will kind of fall into clusters because we bred selectively for them. But humans, which have not been selectively bred even in smaller geographic regions, would not provide decent clustering results based on race categories.

Without good clustering, whatever groups you make have more inaccuracies than accuracies in your grouped statements. (Border collies are high energy, greyhounds are lazy > 65% true at best) this is because of the insane complexity of DNA and the lack of selective breeding artificially limiting the DNA diversity. Plus other stuff.

Oh for sure. I’m not against someone going for flame maple because it just looks great. That’s still honest about what it is and why

We don’t have the storage to use solar for base load energy yet.

Factories and mills and chip fabs and industrial refrigeration needs to run all the time, and needs reliable constant power.

Solar is -awesome- for distributed generation where loads peak based on insolation (classic example being a/c units). Residential power demand is also just generally higher during the day.

Nuclear for constant demand, solar for circadian and insolation-based needs is a pretty good mix to start, certainly a hell of a lot better than what we have now.

No worries, it’s just a hill I’ll die on :)

Let’s get real.

Disrespect for such proffesions spells out, what is pretty fucking obvious (Pun intended, obviously), to everyone that isn’t the narcissist and his cult of Jesus Snow Crash. He isn’t crippling the market and preventing the exchanges. He’s stealing money from both side of those in the exchange and preaching to the cult that all things wrong and responsible with labels.

This, because the fact is that he’s so ugly, incompetent, lacking self care, and predominantly of zero integral character deserving any respect. He’s mad about people that are just ugly or whatever getting laid by any means when he tried and burnt half his face and body when he tried not to listen to her say no and she already saw it coming.

Not only is it acceptable to consider such to not be criminal, it’s fucking respectable and when she says no and you can’t deal with it, or shit, start some narcisstic denial cult…

De dana dan, de dana dan, de dana dan, de dana dan De, de, de, dana dan, de, de, de

Funnily enough, they don’t look tasty.

They look like over processed sponge.

I would like to congratulate you on choosing the most assholish way you could have possibly phrased that :>

Go on… so what’s the right one? I can’t understand why anyone would go to attack others without offering a superior alternative. Like, you may as well just not say anything, then. If you don’t have a better idea, then theirs isn’t worse because you didn’t even provide a rebuttal.

I’m not even on the side of the person you responded to, but why would you not want to state what would work better? That’s just trolling.

The problem with Celsius and it’s relation to the freezing and boiling point of water is that water is a rare chemical that is less dense as a solid so it will freeze AND boil at different temperatures depending on pressure.

Freezing temperature isn’t 0 at 1500 meters and it doesn’t boil at 100 either.

Edit to add examples:

On Mount Everest water boils at 72 degrees

In Denver, Colorado water boils at 94 degrees

I never said Fahrenheit was better, just that it was perfectly acceptable for use as a measure of human comfort.

I’m not going to get into what I usually go into because I only commented to answer OPs question, not start a(nother) internet flame war. A lot of people who use Celsius go absolutely NUTS when someone so much as hints that Fahrenheit has some usefulness.

However, I must point out, Celsius is not metric. It’s been adopted as the step-child of SI, but it’s not metric. You can’t meaningfully multiply and divide degrees Celsius; 100°C is not ten times hotter than 10°C Celsius. Sure. you can use the metric prefixes, just like i could measure things in kiloinches, that doesn’t make it metric. It’s just as arbitrary as Fahrenheit, and people have to make arguments regarding water and life to try to pretend otherwise. True, it’s officially defined in terms of Kelvin, but then, so is Fahrenheit.

I was watching a video just before where an american measured two impact craters on a piece of steel, read off some gibberish fractional inches for each one then commented “my math isnt great, but i think that one is about double”. My dude, your calipers read off approximately 5mm and 10mm, your life would be so much easier if you toggled it to metric units.
