I desperately hope you’re right, but I suspect this is naïvely optimistic.

I’m not sure any amount of image correction will make those sausages less criminal.

You really should have lead with some of this! Hopefully you can see why your original comment, in a vacuum, wasn’t especially constructive or enlightening.

It’s no surprise that a pop sci article makes bolder claims than the paper it’s based on (even if you think the paper itself is overreaching); this old PHD Comics diagram is as relevant as ever.

I’m feeling a bit defensive about UK food in this thread, but it’s undeniably true that our sausage rolls are an absolute embarrassment. Supermarkets predictably are the worst – gristly flavourless meat in anaemic half-baked pastry. Same goes for pasties.

Straight-up misogynistic, transphobic down-punching.

Anyone want to explain their downvotes?

I didn’t vote you down, but I nearly did. Project CETI, an academic group of linguists, whale biologists, underwater acoustics professionals, and machine learning experts, say that sperm whale communication is highly complex, comparable in many ways to human language, and can be described as phonology.

Random internet user with no declared expertise or experience says, “nuh-uh” and provides no substantial counterpoint, and is confused by the negative reaction.

I don’t expect you’re wrong per se if the perceived take-away from OP’s article is that whales have language to the extent that humans do, but just being dismissive without bringing anything to the table is entirely unhelpful to the discussion.

The same Gina Rinehart who didn’t want anyone to see her Vincent Namatjira portrait? (Yes.)

Easiest just to read through OP’s post history!

Read before writing multiple paragraphs of total crazy talk

This is ironic – you’re the one not to have read and understood the comment. Note the last line:

Tell them to move to Poland or Portugal where you can live comfortably with 1/10th of that money.

They were responding to the last bit:

Why does the last frame of Part II work so well? 👏

I’d love to see something like r/simpsonsfaces on the Fediverse, but with expanded scope. Intermediate frames in older animation can be amazing.

At around 1.7 million times the weight of the Earth, it’s not all that light.

I don’t know if there have been studies on it, but anecdotally, the diet of a pet can have a significant impact on its longevity – a matter of years.

If it’s true, it’s still probably multifaceted – there’ll be considerations like nutrition, likelihood of more general care for the animal, etc – but I’d speculate that harmful substances like PFAs seems like a likely factor.
