Beacon@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you opt out of the facial scan at the airport?3·4 days agoIt’s not about being comfortable with your nudity, it’s about basic personal freedoms
Beacon@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you opt out of the facial scan at the airport?81·4 days agoYes very unfortunately this ship sailed long ago, and a tiny fraction of people opting out accomplishes nothing at this point. When the 3D nudity scanners arrived i opted out several times, but not nearly enough other people did, so it was pointless. A single digit percent of people opting out accomplishes nothing, we need to stand together in large numbers to accomplish any change. But for whatever reason the large majority of americans have decided to roll over and let the government take away any of our rights that they want to
Beacon@fedia.ioto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If nudity was more widely accepted, tattoos would be more popular.3·4 days agoExactly, in my neck of the woods it seems like the majority of people under 60 have tattoos

Beacon@fedia.ioto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There's a decent chance that one of the many uncontacted tribes has started to worship airplanes18·6 days agoI think you greatly overestimate the number of truly uncontacted tribes
Beacon@fedia.ioto science@lemmy.world•Oops, Scientists May Have Severely Miscalculated How Many Humans Are on Earth89·9 days ago“May” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The last third of the article is all about how this is very unlikely to be true. As the saying goes - “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”, and this seems like pretty weak evidence.
Also fuck that headline. iirc usually the article author doesn’t get to write the headline, the editor does that. And often all the editor cares about is grabbing eyeballs

Beacon@fedia.ioto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Inside a fridge is a space that is (by design) inhospitable to life16·10 days agoI get what you’re trying to say, but that’s already what the word inhospitable means. It doesn’t mean it makes life impossible or near impossible, it just means it makes conditions harsh for life.
inhospitable (adjective)
- (of an environment) harsh and difficult to live in
Beacon@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you?21·11 days agoOP didn’t ask what you seem to think they asked
Beacon@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you?71·11 days agoNo, that’s not how it works, the cops have nothing to do with it. You tell your defense attorney that you were watching youtube, your attorney tells the judge you need those records from google, the judge’s court sends a warrant to google inc., then google sends those records to the court.

They aren’t used to obtain records, that’s done through the legal system like court orders
Beacon@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Did you you notice the second "you" in the title of this post? How do you feel about (not) noticing it?7·11 days agoExactly, this is what our brains are supposed to do.
Beacon@fedia.ioto science@lemmy.world•Single psilocybin trip delivers two years of depression relief for cancer patients1·11 days agoEntirely believable, literally nothing is 100% the same for every individual person
Beacon@fedia.ioto science@lemmy.world•Single psilocybin trip delivers two years of depression relief for cancer patients2·12 days agoYeah for me 4 times a year would be ideal but i tend to put it off a lot even though the experience is always enjoyable
Beacon@fedia.ioto science@lemmy.world•Single psilocybin trip delivers two years of depression relief for cancer patients11·13 days agoMeaning like a single therapy session? The answer is close to zero
For reals. That show is so absolutely unfunny, it astounds me that anyone could enjoy watching it
