Cats are aliens from another planet. A much warmer planet with less gravity!

• Nothing else explains why a cat will lay in the sun on a very hot day like it’s nothing at all.
• They also radiate the heat of a small pizza oven.
• They act like we’re their servants in very un-animal-like ways.
• They push things off of places all the time, like they’re expecting them to float not fall.
• They’ll be completely normal, then take off running like their tail’s on fire, just to relish in the high gravity that allows them to jump and land a very short distance away.

Or he was backed by some real dirt bags to keep Twitter afloat so the misinformation can continue unabated. Protesters can be easily found out. Humans trafficked. Etc.

Okay… 🤨😂🥰

Hell Yes! There’s been a huge ad campaign in my city about Narcan: how it works, how to spot symptoms, how to administer it, and where to get it for free.

This is great news, and certainly drives home the fact that the current administration put in the work to make it happen.

Naw…

Appears!? She literally tweeted, “Yes they can control the weather.”

I met a guy online, and we arranged to meet up for our 1st date. It went well, and during it we exchanged birthdates. Mine was the next week, so he said he’s take me out for my birthday!

The day arrives, we meet up at the same place, and after my inquiry he says we’re to a New Mexican restaurant for dinner, then to a Country & Western bar a few blocks away for some dancing. Well All RIGHT! (I did tell him I didn’t know how/hadn’t been before, but was willing to give it a go.)

At the end of dinner he asks the waiter for separate checks. I look puzzled, and he asks why. “Well, it’s a little unusual to be taken out for your birthday and have to split the check…”

“Oh, I forgot it’s your birthday. I don’t have enough money to cover this.” So I end up paying for my meal.

Tip: If this happens to you end that date immediately! I don’t, so we continue the date and go dancing.

Turns out he doesn’t like line dancing, and doesn’t lead, so he won’t line dance with me trying to learn to line dance. We have one regular dance together, which he ends mid-song, because I’m not leading right.

For the rest of the ‘date’ I get to sit there, buying my own drinks, watching him dance with others, and having drinks bought for him by those others.

I went home alone after a few miserable hours…

I think you meant to say Pence throughout your reply, and not Vance. Yeah?

The potential VP just admitted that he would not faithfully carry out the duties of his position in our government.

If an applicant for a job tells his potential employer that he will not do part of the defined job description it is 100% disqualifying.

No Kompromat needed comrade.

Power

They’re after access to, or holding onto, power.

Ah, the ol’ “Brute Force” hack.

This is a horrible idea. There’s no guarantee that either side will vote as discussed. Leaving it open to rampant corruption as a voter engages in false discussion, then votes for one of the primary candidates.

Let those 3rd party candidates speak to the American people and present a case that nets them the votes needed.

I got as far as Tom Cotton. Everything else in that article is just going to be a waste of time to read.

The man is without ethics or morals.

Can confirm! I’ve run that exact utility multiple times. Each time it finds a few posts that were restored.

But it’s like 99.5% effective in deleting posts. So it’s better than nothing.

I feel like a ‘raccoon’ that self-identifies as a ‘ramblingpanda’ on lemmy should be given…a warm welcome!

The trash is in the kitchen, the bamboo is out back, the bourbon is in the den, and the game starts in 5.

There’s growing speculation that 13.767 billions years may be the earliest that the universe can support life, due to events like this. The universe had to expand, a lot, to get to a place where life had a chance to evolve, and not get obliterated by these types of events.

Plus our galaxy may be in a void. A really big one at that:

In 2013 Barger and two colleagues, Ryan Keenan (then at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Taiwan) and Lennox Cowie (University of Hawai‘i) counted some 35,000 galaxies from multiple surveys. What they found is that the Milky Way appears to live in a relatively empty area. Per unit volume, there’s half again as much light reaching us from galaxies 1.5 billion light-years away as there is from galaxies right around us.

It’s as if we’re living in the suburbs, and the skyglow we see in our backyard comes more from distant cities than from our neighbors.

If this sparse region that we live in is a true cosmic void, then at 1.5 billion light-years in radius, it’s well above average in size, says Hoscheit. Typical voids have radii between 90 million light-years and 450 million light-years, he says. But this void would be so big, it would encompass the Laniakea Supercluster, which the Milky Way and its Local Group of galaxies call home, as well as the Tully Local Void, which Laniakea borders. “It would be the largest void known to science,” he says.

So the fact that our black hole (Sagittarius A*) hasn’t done this, and that we’re far away from other black holes that have done this, just might be why you’re reading this reply.

Let’s toast to our existence in the backwaters of our galaxy and the KBC void! 🥂

You don’t think wars fight themselves do you? Or that munitions self-assemble do you?

The lower class exists to keep the middle class in line so that the upper class can continue to make money. And the upper class, for now, requires human capital to do the work that makes them money.

Human capital thst’s educated enough to work the machines but not educated enough to know that they’re being exploited, and hence rebel.

Yeah, but wouldn’t he have to steal the same truck at the same time for it to be considered the same crime?

Otherwise he just really seems to like that truck he keeps stealing.

Well, I for one am glad that’s settled and Israel can stop now…
