The truth is, you aren’t any smarter than people of the past, you just know different things.

I really hope this is a real ad. Oh if only all ads were shitting on billionares instead of kissing their asses.

Apparently some can be used in food too. Made some mint ice cream with a few drops of oil and it was soooo good. (you’ll have to make sure it’s food safe ofc)

How do I get this feeling that he might possible perhaps be Italian?

Essential oils don’t really deserve the hate. Yes, anyone who imagines they can replace actual medicine is fucking stupid and also a horrible person if they do that to their own child, no doubt. But we shouldn’t act like they do absolutely nothing. Things like oils and herbs can be used to treat small problems and supplement medicine, and do work when used correctly for the correct problem.

That being said, I think that today’s antivaxxers are less stereotypical hippies and more christofascists and trads.

And if you die of a completely preventable disease, then it’s just natural selection!

Please be joking, please be joking…

But it’s natural! And natural always means it’s good for you, because I’m scared of chemicals despite not knowing what a chemical is because I can’t pronounce their names!

Ruling the Earth and making the biggest mess ever in history are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, let alone draw a straight line.

Then why is it called Tyrannosaurus Rex? Gotcha.

Sure, you can go with those too.

I found out that growing potatoes seems to be easier than all the articles I read made it sound. And while buying seed potatoes might make a difference (for example if you wanted some specific kind of potatoes), regular market potatoes work just fine.

My guide for growing potatoes, copy-pasted from my earlier comment:

1. buy bag of potatoes
2. leave them in the fridge for a few weeks or so
3. stick them in dirt
4. water every now and then
5. dig them up with your bare hands like the animal you are

I feel like the same applies to growing vegetables. I had a small yet succesful harvest I grew in my somewhat dark room, and oh boy were they good.

Thanks for the guide, but I’ve already done exactly that and yet it never works for some reason.

Point to where I’m believing yanks.

Why do you assume I’m believing Americans?

I think it’s either trolls or people who have realised how capitalism exploits them, but instead of becoming actual leftists, they just jumped to worshipping another oppressive system instead. Lemmy seems to be very US-centric, so I think the thought process for some has been:

• America bad
• America says [insert communist or ‘communist’ country here] bad
• Therefore [insert communist or ‘communist’ country here] good

So basically, not being able to understand nuance.
