If you block FlyingSquid you basically lose ⅓ of all Lemmy content.

That escalated quickly, and completely deviated from the subject of the comic.

• Do animals have emotions?

Of course they do. I don’t think anybody ever denied that. Everybody has seen an animal being afraid.

• Do animals have emotions like us?

As in emotions as complex as Homo Sapiens? Depends on the animal. Most, probably don’t, as they don’t physically have certain necessary brain structures. Some come extremely close and might be on par. But it could be hard to ever pinpoint exactly, which animals do.

I don’t see any hypocrisy here.

Well, I’m pretty sure there were instances where Mario and Bowser cooperated. But it doesn’t matter, because even if only 2 answers make sense, the joke already works.

Riding somebody is a double entendre, often used as sexual innuendo beyond the literal sense of riding, like on a horse.

Patrick PornStar

She does, apparently.

As per your recommendation, I watched that video. Not exactly sure why it was suggested though.
The plot made slightly more sense than none at all, but it was entertaining to watch.

What is this about even? What kind of install requires calls?

Useless without trackpads. I can just use any other controller instead of this.

50% chance it’s Rin.

Yeah, Nexus phones were great, but Pixel phones are also good. And Android is definitely not “getting worse”.

Agree with the rest though.

If I wasn’t dead, I would hate being a person in Middle English era either way.
But thanks for the interesting article.

I agree with you that the article is clickbaity, it implies that it’s the default punishment. But technically, it isn’t wrong. It’s still possible to get death penalty for advocating for Taiwan independence.

Without looking at your post history, I think your downvotes are unjustified. You merely pointed out the clickbait. But it would be better if you presented it in more affirming way, cause right now your comment kinda reads like you’re refuting the article and “it’s not a death sentence, it’s only a 3-year imprisonment”, which is also not true.

Nice. Happy cake day!

In my experience, these mistakes are made primarily by native speakers. Because they learned it by hearing and can’t tell the difference. Those who learned English as a second language learn through books and are explicitly taught the difference.

You mostly just repeated what I said. And it’s not “pure” sugar, it’s about 10-15% sugar. Which applies to almost all commercial drinks, like juices, teas and coffees. You can’t single out sodas here, rest are just as bad. Just watch your sugar intake and you can drink sweet beverages fine.

I didn’t know that CO_² is bad for bones. I’ll have to look that up.

On Reddit I always assumed that so many people can’t be that stupid uneducated and make these obvious mistakes for engagement bait.
But now that we are on Lemmy, and engagement gets you nowhere, I’m losing faith in humanity at a faster pace.

For those of us who need to do research to get this joke, I already did it. They mean Rubicon River (which is no longer in the north, so don’t look for it there, it’s on the opposite side of the knee).
