Nah, just the joke flew over your head at Mach 5.

It's okay, not everyone gets every joke, or maybe you were having a slow day

More than one thing can be bad.

Why don't we do both? Less AI, Less Meat

Also, I'm not American, don't insult me by assuming I'm one

Corporate media, owned by billionaires, refuse to recognize the wave of democratic socialism by gwl in c/workreform@lemmy.world

Devils advocate: their wording is shit, but the quote retweet is also wrong

These polls are usually

Do you support thing?

Yes

No

Don't Know/Don't Care

So it's also not necessarily majority support, there could be a sizeable amount of option C

A huge amount too, 37.9%

But more than one thing can be bad a time, a novel idea, I know

And how many beef farms are there compared to data centers? A lot of a lot more.

If a tiny amount of physical space can do such a large amount of pollution, that's a worry, when the plan is to increase the amount of them.

.9% from a single source is RIDICULOUS though

Random question, do you think we'll see any rebracketing happen to current words and terms? if so which? (self.linguistics)

I kinda wonder if North West England might see a Good be with ye ➡️ Good be ye ➡️ Goodbye happen to the phrase 'av a good un' (have a good one)

It's already spoken as if it's one word, as avagud'un effectively

Rebracketing: when a word or term "steals" or has letters "stolen" from it, and then changes form through that. A Norange ➡️ An Orange, An Ewt ➡️ A Newt, Good be ye ➡️ Goodbye

nothing more annoying than a prescriptivist, cause they entirely miss the point of what language is (self.linguistics)

Language is a toolkit to communicate ideas, and a toolkit frozen in glass is a useless toolkit.

You need to swap out that hammer when it starts getting damaged, or put back a screwdriver when you find out you need it again, or add new tools when you find that the tools you have now aren't fit to purpose.

And sure, there's some loose screws at the bottom of the bag, but they don't harm anything, and very occasionally they come in useful.
