Oh egads, my toilet is ruined!

Biden recently called Kamala Harris ‘Trump’ and Volodimir Zelensky ‘Vladimir Putin’.

Wouldn’t it depend on latitude? It would be much less than 463 metres at the latitudes of Europe

How is everyone getting this ai overview? All I get when I google something is the usual stuff.

Induces apoptosis in response to DNA damage (I think)

I wouldn’t believe it. The profile photos of their ‘team’ look AI generated.

Arctic sea ice has been consistently shrinking since at least 1980. So have the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets. The East Antarctic ice sheet has by contrast been constantly growing since records began, which is probably where you got your factoid from. But this is due to local phenomena, such as the Antarctic ozone hole, increasing westerly wind strength and increasing snowfall. East Antarctica is one of the few regions which seems to have escaped the effects of climate change (so far).

There’s almost no doubt that the world is warming overall due to human activity. The fossil fuel industry doesn’t like this, so they put out propaganda to counter facts. Do your own research :).

How does one cut one’s arm on a passing shark? Sharks are smooth as can be.

Edit: Never mind just read the article and he cut his arm on a tooth while the shark swam past open-mouthed.

It looks like a lot more people left Reddit than joined Lemmy or the other Reddit alternatives. I reckon most people who left didn’t actually seek out an alternative and are just spending more time on Facebook/Tiktok/forum sites etc. Or they might be being productive with the time that they would’ve otherwise spent on Reddit lol.

The Australian equivalent is “a few snags (sausages) short of a barbie (barbeque)”

Reminds me of the “computer” they made using 30 million soldiers signalling to each other with flags in the book the Three Body Problem

I’ve lived near the reserve for about 20 years and I haven’t heard of anyone being bitten by a snake there (although some dogs have, unfortunately). I think accidents could happen but they’d be pretty rare. The snakes here tend to stick to the long grass and near the creek and I think most people have the sense to not go trampling through the grass during snake season.

It also depends on the snake species. Around here we mainly have Eastern browns, which are venomous but timid. In other places in Australia snakes may be more aggressive and accidents are more likely.

It’s even better without the question mark

As a uni student I do both. I generally type notes during lectures and live meetings, and handwrite notes for prerecorded videos and other general study.

I still handwrite because my exams are going to be handwritten and I don’t want to lose my ability to handwrite fast lol.

You can also doodle/draw diagrams when you handwrite. It’s harder to do that on a phone/computer.

I still use pen and paper because it just feels better than handwriting on a screen.

Aussie snakes might be very venomous, but in general they’ll only bite if they’re provoked. I live near a nature reserve full of snakes and it’s not really an issue for most people. Just leave them alone and they’ll leave you alone.

Where does Voyager fit into this?

Thanks!

This is cool! Can you also do Aussie.zone?

This is actually sort of informative. You can see how much further south South America extends compared to Africa and Australia.

Yeah exactly. And it’s not like the buildings they want to demolish are abandoned or little used. Old Microbiology is full of lab/office spaces and Brownless is one of the main hubs of the biomed and science cohorts. I’ve had classes in some of the other buildings as well and they are also frequently used.

Sure it might open up the uni but how will they compensate for the reduction in useable space?
