Pataphysics is a valid scientific discipline.

A new study published in The Lancet shows 6.5% of deaths in this country are attributed to cold weather, compared with 0.5% from hot weather. Most deaths will be from cardiovascular and respiratory disease, as it’s the heart and lungs that struggle when we are outside our comfort zone.

Cold weather causes twice as many deaths (proportional to population) as in Sweden. Australia’s cold weather problem is, when measured in deaths, twice as bad as Sweden’s. People DO die from extreme cold here in Australia, much worse than they do in Europe.

Thanks. Looks like My theory was wrong, The unban still hasn’t federated. I’ll just wait for the original ban to time out, thanks for helping.

Yeah, I realised I was wrong when someone else in this thread subscribed. I started seeing the posts on the community update, but not the modlog. I was hoping it would just take a few hours for everything to federate, but no dice. The ban is about to time out in a couple hours anyway, so I think I’ll just wait.

Federation of community content is community based, though, and I can prove it. Take a community that nobody on Aussie Zone is subscribed to, and look at it from Aussie Zone. It’ll look empty. Subscribe, wait ten minutes, refresh the page, and you’ll see the most recent 20 or so posts appear. You can do the experiment with any small or new community that not many people here would know about. Just browse the trending communities thingy on another instance, and look for one with a couple of posts. For example, !anarchism@lemmy.blahaj.zone and !soulism@lemmy.blahaj.zone both look empty from Aussie Zone right now. If you subscribe, you’ll start seeing days-old posts appearing. Assuming nobody else from here subscribes to them in the intervening time.

It used to be. Politeness is a social construct and changes over time. I could name all sorts of horrible things that used to be polite. And even today it’s polite to casually talk about paying for a dead body to be cooked at a restaurant.

It used to mean a woman who has sex with lots of people, and it was derogatory. You’d call a woman a slut to shame her, because old people hated sex.

Here’s an essay on why reality should be destroyed

The article is meant to be based on a false statement. The purpose of the article is to criticise that statement.

I’m a wise person. I have a discord server dedicated to helping people with their identities, including neurodivergence and sexuality. But you will end up meeting some very queer people with identities you never knew existed, and you’ll have to be respectful.

I think you should keep reading for 10 more words. I elaborated on exactly what you’re talking about in the 10 words after that quote.

How long would you say it takes to change your username and pfp on Matrix if you know exactly what you’re doing and have done it plenty of times before? 20 seconds? Pluralkit can do a proxy in 2 seconds. 20 seconds is not an acceptable delay to sending a chat message to most people, but 2 seconds is.

And what if two members of a system are in a conversation, possibly with a third person? Is it going to retroactively change the username and pfp on the old messages? Cause that would turn the conversation to complete nonsense. Imagine I’m having a discussion with some friends, two of whom are in a system, I step away to go to the toilet, and when I come back 5 minutes later I can’t tell who was talking in the last 5 minutes.

Well, there are a lot of discord users who are allies and believe in supporting others, and that’s why

No, I don’t know.
