So she insists she believes the word says the world is spherical but that there is a dome in the sky. I think she got bored halfway through the video after they stopped talking about the stuff from the bible. I see that the firmament is real but as someone who was raised catholic I assumed all religions agreed that it was a metaphysical barrier between heaven and earth. After reading through the comments here I feel like she probably got this from YouTube/ticktock and not from her church.

To be clear I couldn’t get a hit on a religion believing it is a solid impassable dome in the sky. I got hits on flat earther crap that sadly I knew about because another family member was a full fledged flat earther… (These are all in-laws BTW). I also found the bible definition which only states that the firmament is a barrier between heaven and earth. I am mostly just trying to figure out where she got this nonsense from and I suspect it was going down a rabbit hole on YouTube that led to a flat earth video using the bible as evidence of the flat earth. She has a short attention span so she probably stopped paying attention after the part where they said the sky is a dome because she said the earth is round.

Only Chinese-Canadians that turn into red pandas though.

I have definitely thought about doing this on reddit subs that I ask a question on that gets buried in new…

Member woosh?

Yes but most Americans think asteroid hunting requires a rifle.

So is it illegal to be in Washington to intentially arouse others fully clothed?

And what about unintentionally arousal? Like can you not be shirtless if you are so hot that your body puts others into heat?

Yo.

I use google. I type “<insert thing I am looking up> reddit”

This is at least in the art style of the Adult Swim show My Adventures with Superman so maybe its a Manga accompaniment? Sorry if this was obvious I just heard of this show yesterday.

Ha Curb for me as well but Dota 2… Actually, that’s kinda fitting.

While I am rooting for authors to make sure they get what they deserve, I feel like there is a bit of a parallel to textbooks here. As an engineer if I learn about statics from a text book and then go use that knowledge to he’ll design a bridge that I and my company profit from, the textbook company can’t sue. If my textbook has a detailed example for how to build a new bridge across the Tacoma Narrows, and I use all of the same design parameters for a real Tacoma Narrows bridge, that may have much more of a case.

Stonewall Jackson?

Beautifully sad. The value of space exploration on society goes far beyond the the important yet not very far reaching science that we get from missions. NASA was pivotal in the development of more capable computers, many formats of data compression, and many other technological innovations that we take for granted.

Lol dems forget hes a dem

Its amazing how international this S is and nobody knows where it came from. Its one of the most crucial social mysteries of the the late 20th century.

This is basically the only thing that’s been successful for me. I track my calorie intake with an app and shoot for net 1500 (with exercise).

I have set up a Mastodon account and love the concept but feel like its mostly anonymous twitter. Reddit and Lemmy do a much better job of providing a platform for mostly anonymous interaction than twitter, which has always been successful for its ability to allow regular people to follow/interact with more public people, which Mastodon is mostly lacking. If those more public people move to threads and if the activitypub integration works well, I would be able to use Mastodon to follow the people I follow on Twitter and get rid of twitter while using a privacy honoring instance and that would make the use case for Mastodon much stronger. I understand the concerns with EEE and don’t intend to set up a threads account, but it seems like if Mastodon is going to get extinguished by Meta defederating is not really going to impact it much… They can still extend the capability to pull people away.

Fair but my point was that the point of twitter is following/interacting with public figures while Mastodon does not have any of those mainstream public figures to make it worthwhile to the vast majority of people. The point of reddit is following topics and discussing them with regular people and even on a smaller scale Lemmy can provide that. Mostly I was just agreeing with you.

I use twitter to follow content from mostly public people like sports writers, tech writers, some athletes, etc. Effectively, I use it to get breaking news about some things I care about and only rarely interact when I come up with something I think is really funny. Maybe not everyone uses twitter like me but most probably use it to follow famous people and public figures and attempt to interact with them or whatever.

Mastodon can compete with Twitter on a technical capabilities front but its going to struggle to get the mass appeal that Twitter has without the less anonymous clientele.
