Good luck finding any nontrivial law that applies to each and every instance of a human construct. “Money can be exchanged for goods and services” until you show up at a store with 10 kilograms of 1-cent coins. A single violation (or even many) don’t mean the underlying law (or rule or principle or guideline or whatever ‘less strict’ version you want to call it) is bad.

Newton’s gravity is wrong. There’s no arguing about that. But still every middle-schooler around the world learns it because it is ‘good enough’ in all but extraordinarily special cases.

And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.

In Germany you can always tell if a historic thing was good or bad by whether it started or ended in 1933.

Of those three I can only comment on Umbridge. I think the point with her was that she seemed “pink”, but wasn’t.

So… they killed other people’s children?

“Innocence, sweetness” (pink). Isn’t the right image in the middle row the scene from The Wolf of Wall Street where his wife tries to seduce him?

puberty is sorta like this but idk, it doesn’t feel as dramatic

I really wonder what happened in your puberty to be “sorta like this”

First, the caterpillar digests itself, releasing enzymes to dissolve all of its tissues. If you were to cut open a cocoon or chrysalis at just the right time, caterpillar soup would ooze out.

It’s interesting that even on lemmy people aren’t so open-minded to give eating insects a chance.

We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.

I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

Raising a child costs between $13k[2] and $35k[1] per year in the USA – depending on where you live and who you ask.

With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

Meme transcription: 4 panels of Vince McMahon reacting increasingly ecstaticly to:

  1. Your software isn’t working. Vince McMahon looks curious.
  2. The bug is in a library. McMahon smiles.
  3. There already is an issue on Github. McMahon makes an orgiastic face.
  4. They published a fix last week. [I don’t know how to describe the face McMahon is making.]

The two-panel comic I’m looking for describes how the level of care parents give plummets after the first child. The dialog goes something like this:

Panel 1

The child has a thermometer in their mouth.

[Father:] She has a mild fever.

[Mother:] To the emergency room!

Panel 2

The child twists their head around 180 degrees.

[Father:] Exorcist?

[Mother:] She’s fine.

Thank you!

Meme transcription: Anakin & Padme

[Panel 1] Anakin tries selects “Update and shut down” from the Windows start menu.

[Panel 2] Padme, labeled as “Windows”, cheerily says: ”You mean ‘Update and restart’, right?”

[Panel 3] Anakin takes an annoyed look.

[Panel 4] Padme, still cheery, says “I’ll just ‘Update and Restart’.”
