Snakes

  • I think the point is it is one species of snake that all looks the same yet some are venomous and others are not.

    For example. What if some rattle snakes were not venomous but others, that looked exactly the same, were.

  • Humans are biologically programmed to have a euphoric experience when presented with something beyond their ability to understand. For example contemplating the massive expansive of the cosmos and how it all began etc.

    As we get older our brains take damage and slow down resulting in a coping mechanism very similar to the above mentioned phenomenon.

    As we approach death and old age we tend to shift towards religion as a way to both biologically and psychologically cope. Even the most avid atheist will see and feel that shift inside themselves. Stress is also a factor.

    That is not to say that god isn't real. I dont know that and no one else does either. This could all be his plan for everything. Or it could just be a damaged and stressed brain trying to cope.

    On the plus side... Religious people love to talk about what they believe. You can get a bible just about anywhere for free. There are thousands of online videos of sermons and talks. All the tools you are looking for are out there. But you will also probably be drawn to an active organization because again humans are biologically drawn to form groups of like minded individuals as a protection mechanism.

  • Amen. Its also not just water vapor... If it was people Wouldn't vape. A lot of people have issues with the garbage they put in vapes.... But gigs are worse for me personally.

    sh.just.works down?

    Going to post this here. Assuming their server doesn't have to work to post this to the federated section on this server...

    I know the .ml s are having issues because of the government taking over the .ml domain. But what is going on with sh.itjust.works?

    Low Effort Bot Content

    Ok, so I get that there are two views on the success of Lemmy. 1, more content = more views = more users signing up. 2, Quality content = more views = more users signing up.

    I'm firmly in the #2 category myself but I understand the viewpoint of #1 even if I dont agree with it. For some people #1 might cause them to sign up...

    But I dont see how low effort bots creating useless content for content sake is beneficial to this community at all.

    Take this link for example... https://lemm.ee/c/youtube_feed

    There are hundreds of posts by a youtube crawling bot that just seems to be posting random youtube video links and adding the video title as the post description. Only a handful of the two hundred videos posted have any comments and those are just 1-2 people saying this is useless content.

    Now before anyone jumps in and says, you can just block the bot, or block the community or...

    Yes I could and I will be. But the problem is when someone new comes to lemmy and randomly selects lemm
