Like engagement rings denote the engagement... Maybe it's just English being its usual mess

I frequently post in AskLemmy so I think about questions a lot. For example, I was thinking about this in the shower and I was thinking "I really like this handmade soap. It's much better than the usual stuff we get" and then I came up with a related question: "What is something that you would rather buy handmade instead of mass-produced?"

If you ever come across a skull without an incision line, you can be damn sure there's a brain in there.

Mixing every color using light = white

Mixing every color using pigments (paint, ink, etc.) = black

I can only imagine the difference it would make if instead of telling about your idea you could show it

All we have are scriptures and texts that could have been a series of meme that built/improved from eachother but lost the common knowledge between the generations that it was fictional.

• Babylon is in modern Iraq, one of the countries invaded by the US in the aftermath of 9\11
• Both claimed to be the highest towers in the world
• Both are in populated influential trade centers
• The Babylon myth with different languages VS the War on Terror, affecting policies worldwide, growing tensions and fear in the post-USSR world, now - post 9\11 world
• The pronounced reasoning behind the 9\11, told as a fatwa by Osama, starts as follows: All these American crimes and sins are a clear proclamation of war against God, his Messenger, and the Muslims. Not that far from what caused the abrahamic god to prank Babylon.

This connection is loose, lacks context and mixes very different things together, but I haven't got a pleasure to shower any longer than that to think things out.

How BS is it?

I'm sure the wrap shops love getting those calls

I won't be taking questions.

If you use "they" to describe a nameless group of people and you mean anyone other than The Man (That's how they get you.), you're probably the one who's wrong.

Looking forward to reading some fun exceptions.

The way our bodies react to mosquito saliva motivates us to avoid being bitten. Which must have had evolutionary benefits, keeping us away from diseases.

I.e. all those people that didn't mind them and never got itchy from mosquito bites appear to have died out. And mosquitoes really wish that wasn't true.

Cats, and apparently capybaras are an invasive species on social media. I don't hate them or anything but they show up everywhere in places they have new business being.
