politics @lemmy.world•After the US midterm rout of Trumpism, the world struggles to trust America again
8·2 days agoRelatively heavy levels of indoctrination.
Its easy to indoctrinate people into something that is nice to believe ‘this is the greatest country in the world, anyone can become anything here’, what a lovely fantasy. Who wouldnt accept this falsehood when presented with it? Who would willingly reject it if they could easily lie to themselves instead.
Tbf, they are far from the only country that does this, its hard to distinguish why it can seem so much more prevalent in Americans.

7·2 days agoYou’re not disagreeing, thats exactly what they were saying, they just sounded less happy about it than you.
Im with you, I think people needed capitalism to literally slip it in dry before they’d wake up and see its an inherently broken system, particularly when allowed to run unchecked.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Italian chef fired after refusing to put pineapple on pizzaEnglish
2·3 days agoYou must be confusing the invention of New York-style pizza with the invention of pizza itself?
Pizza was being eaten in Naples in the 1700s, and the city had established pizzerias decades before Italian immigrants introduced it to New York in the late 19th century.
New York-style pizza is an American adaptation of an existing Italian dish. How on earth do you think Italian Americans came to be making pizza in New York in the first place? 😂
It’s quite impressive to be this confidently wrong about something that’s so trivially easy to verify. I assume you read it on a menu. Dont learn facts from menus lmfao.

51·3 days agoYou’re confusing personal preference with objective quality. Your palate is shaped by what you’ve grown up eating, so naturally, if you’re accustomed to American-style pizza, traditional pizza might not be what you imagine pizza should be.
That doesn’t mean Italians are bad at making pizza. It means you’ve developed a preference for a particular interpretation of it. Someone raised in Naples might have exactly the opposite reaction to American pizza, in fact I imagine that’s very likely give the fat saturated nonsense I’ve experienced there. Deep dish pizzas are a crime, who the fuck wants more bread in their pizza.
The fact that you’ve managed to visit the birthplace of pizza, discover that it doesn’t cater to your particular tastes, and conclude that an entire country doesn’t know how to make its own food is quite something.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ouch: The Raspberry Pi 5 just hit an eye-watering $385English
16·5 days agoIts not actually that crazy given this is for the 16gb model. Ram is fucked at the moment 🤷♂️
I think you misread me, that is the common theory yeah
Why would it be wandering around if it was stuck in a relatively small space? It can sit or lie down, being bipedal doesn’t mean it needs to be constantly standing or walking.
I looked into this afterward and there’s actually a study by Barrick and Showers (1999) estimating that a large tyrannosaur could consume 2 - 3 weeks’ worth of food in a single meal, and that’s before accounting for its existing fat reserves. Remember, a starving animal will burn through its fat reserves and eventually its muscle tissue before it dies, so at that size it’s potentially got significant runway.
There’s also Kleiber’s law, which says larger animals have proportionally lower energy requirements relative to their body mass. Obviously a rex would need an enormous amount of food in absolute terms, but that doesn’t mean it would actually need to eat particularly frequently. Throw that all together and i highly doubt a month would be enough to starve one to death.
Dehydration is a much better argument though, I’ll give you that. I’ve no idea how long a rex could survive without water, and I doubt anyone can reliably estimate it. I’d imagine that would kill it long before starvation did.
Although interestingly, the original scenario only says you’re provided with food, it doesn’t actually mention water for either of you.
But if it rained, water would pool in its footprints and you’d definitely be screwed.
Oddly enough, the larger an animal is, the less food it generally needs relative to its body mass. “Kleiber’s law” basically says that an animal’s energy requirements increase more slowly than its body mass. A rex would have had enormous absolute energy requirements, but could likely have survived considerably longer than a week without eating.
A predator like that probably won’t starve in a month. Its a bit hard to say, you could compare with a crocodile (larger ones can fast for 2 - 3 years) but they are cold blooded which is a huge metabolic advantage here.
Lions can go 2 weeks without eating, and are far smaller which means there’s less of them to waste away before they perish. A massive predator like a rex would having huge amounts of mass to lose before it died.
Chances are they probably only ate every 1 to 2 weeks by default. A month is not much of a stretch for it, so you likely fail.

122·6 days agoIm pretty buggered here, there’s no other VPN that does two things I need, per app routing and port forwarding. There’s lots that do the former and a few that do the latter, Proton is the only one that does both.
Correct me if my information is out of date, please.

You can let them go. Its concerning you dont seem to have believed that was an option.
Cogitate on the real value of pride, where its valuable and where its over-valued. There is a significant amount of column B.

This problem is not that hard to legislate solutions to, Americans have just cucked themselves with terrible choices.




This is so dumb and exactly what I would imagine from Indiana. Everyone in here cheering it on is braindead.
Life is never as simple as people like this wish it was.
