We are not built to drink milk beyond infancy, yet we do. We are not built to cross oceans in a few hours, wake up in one time zone and fall asleep in another, yet we do. We are not built to eat ice cream on a scorching summer afternoon or preserve food for months and experience flavors from far away, yet we do.
The argument that something is "unnatural" has always struck me as incomplete, because humanity's defining trait is that we are not merely shaped by nature, we reshape our relationship with it. We build tools, cultures, institutions, and technologies that allow us to transcend many of the constraints our ancestors lived under.
That does not mean every new capability is wise or healthy. Some inventions enrich our lives; others burden us in ways we only understand decades later. But the fact that something exceeds the limits of our evolutionary past is not, by itself, an argument against it.
Human flourishing has always depended less on the number of people we can reach and more on the depth of the few relationships that truly matter. I miss having many Facebook friends (some I have never physically met) and seeing their life updates every once in a while, because now we all think Facebook is no longer cool.
Is this a US only thing? I've travelled all over europe and americas and I always try to go to each country's Mcdonalds to see if they have anything different. NEVER have I encountered a broken ice cream machine.
Some crimes are so heinous and intrinsically evil that I believe we as society shouldn't take the burden of keeping those people alive just for the sake of it. I believe that in those very limited cases, death penalty should be allowed.
Yeah and in that free time you had all the time in world to think about not starving to death, it's not like you had too many things to do other than work in your farm
Although I do believe Elon has been acting like a fucking maniac for the past few years, I would still buy a Tesla if I had the money for it. There's absolutely no other electric vehicle on the market with so much tech and so much power for so little money.
Quality? For sure others are better in this regard. But just pure fun and power? No other even comes close, and the ones that do (Porsche Taycan, etc) are much more expensive to buy AND maintain.
There's a reason Tesla model 3 is the best selling electric vehicle in the WORLD. Shit's good yo.
We have to know how to separate Elon, the character from the products and services his company provides. (except Twitter, it's gonna burn to the ground.)

Well you can always vote with your wallet and not use those services, choose restaurants with their own delivery services
Very handsome indeed
I'm 30. My girlfriend is just like that.
Perhaps it's just that women never change.

This should only be used for cases where there is 100% of evidence that the person is guilty (eg: tool box killers, Breivik, mass murderers, etc)

I'm gonna be real here, never bought any physical media after VHS, streaming is so much better.
You can always pirate it and burn a bluray if you wanna have a local backup, I understand it's a bummer for collectors though
Well we've been paying the ESTA electronic visa for years now every time we've wanted to visit the US. It's fair game to require the same

Fook-see-ya is how it's pronounced in both Spanish and Portuguese
Before the Industrial Revolution we were too busy working in the fields trying not to starve to death to think about being bored or being productive
Is that kid on the right drinking a shot?
So lemmy.world is a lemmy server, lemmy is the protocol?
I still don't even know what the servers on lemmy are, each "subreddit" is a different server?
