But humans don’t have penis bones, we’re pretty unique amongst mammals that way actually.

I just assume death is a human skeleton I guess.

Unless, since Death is a skeleton, they never have a boner?

I feel like it would be absolutely terrifying if someone had tiny legs like that they were standing on. Imagine seeing that horror movie shit irl

Definitely read that as plug for a second and was very confused for a moment on why and where a plug would be in that mess of pixels you call a post.

Is it though? Because evolution is only really concerned with a thing living long enough to reproduce. It’s not planned like eugenics would be.

That’s why there’s tons of examples of dumb as hell stuff in biology because as long as an organism is “good enough” to keep reproducing and spreading their genes that is fine and that species will continue to evolve.

Eugenics would be more like if evolution somehow could select only for specific traits and then made sure to only let things with those traits reproduce. Evolution is much messier than that.

It’s like the whole “is my blue the same as your blue” thing. Who knows what anyone else truly perceives since it’s filtered through their lens.

Idk if 10% of the town patronizes it regularly and there’s no other shops around that’s like 250 customers coming in year round, let’s say each spends an average of 150 in a year that’s what … 37 grand? Plus whatever online retail they can do.

If it’s just like one dude that runs it and works there and pays themselves I could see it being viable.

Edit: probably would be a good way to launder some drug money though and I’ve found a lot of weed smokers in the mix of my nerd shops I frequent.

I always wonder if people complained about stores when we started to get the merchandise out of the warehouse ourselves.

Something like, “why isn’t there a clerk getting the groceries on my list for me, I don’t work here, I shouldn’t have to go into the back and get my own shit.”

I prefer bagging my own shit anyways when I go shopping. I don’t break shit and at least in my area it looks like they disabled the weight shit or set the tolerances higher so I’m not constantly told to bag something I already did or getting told I bagged something without scanning .

Now it’s pretty good actually.

I did say fuck Nestle, didn’t I? I’m not really trying to advocate for them just from reading that excerpt I would be interested to know how much the company and its reps really knew about the drinking water situation.

Like, I’m very certain they didn’t do anything to help or to combat the problem, just curious if it was something they knew about and how it was handled. I can say for sure they’re evil and should have helped. It’s just I am thinking about who knew what and how much.

I guess it’s more of a thought and less of a defending them because I am not a big nestle fan. Although I do love their chocolate milk mix, reminds me of my childhood so I occasionally buy it because I’m a bad guy.

To play (actual) devil’s advocate … Is it Nestle’s fault the drinking water was unclean that was mixed with the formula?

That’s where I would say the whole, who’s responsible part of the equation gets fucky. To be clear, nestle should have done more to combat this and not have pushed formula feeding where they knew the water could be bad.

I’m not a fan of them by any means and would definitely need to read more and definitely know they’re evil (fuck I mean I’m pretty sure every large enough corp is evil, hell most of the small ones too) but it still gives me pause when it’s presented.

Just so I’m unequivocal here - nestle is bad and fuck them.

Yeah, it’s called employee rights and strong laws. Those exist overseas, most European countries are good examples. The USA is ass backwards when it comes to our employee protections.

As an example, in many countries they need to give a reason for terminating your employment - pay out x amount of time depending on the reasons given and since your healthcare is NOT tied to employment you don’t need to worry about that going away. That’s not even discussing their paid vacation time or other legal protections.

Basically, you can’t just fire people for some janky made up reason. As you can imagine this also leads to better hiring practices because the companies can’t just cut a person out of nowhere so they need to make sure they’re hiring good folks from the get go. Plus it means more job security and that the companies do a better job forecasting labor demand since they can’t just hire a bunch and fire whatever percentage as a rule of thumb.

Anyways, I don’t know if we would ever have a chance as Americans, but I can tell you what you’re asking literally already exists.

Is this supposed to be a mango because it’s … Not? I’m over here trying to figure this shit out and it’s just another shitpost. More time I’ll never get back, how dare you.

Maybe they’re just like the ancient equivalent of the fancy expensive gaudy crystal pieces you can get today.

God so many better ways to spend $1800

They probably just have no practical purpose.

I still think most of that was psyops and not real people because that logic is dumb af. I’m sure some got caught up in it and didn’t vote but it’s not surprising to me that now nobody on Lemmy actually cares about Palestine anymore.

Where the fuck you gonna deport them to?

Work camps to be used as slave labor is my bet if we’re talking mask off open fascism becoming the norm in the USA.

I really despise trump voters by now, I could forgive them the first time but after his first term and all the rest of everything these fuckers are either willfully ignorant or actually subscribe to his rhetoric and fucked up beliefs which is worse. There’s no redeeming them at this point I’m afraid.

Someone needs to inform wikipedia of their mistake…

Damn making me feel old over here with you not knowing Christmas Vacation. Great holiday movie. Worth a watch, a lot of people watch it as a tradition around Xmas time.
