Nah, you’re thinking of Hansel. It’s actually an online community of people who can’t get laid despite really wanting to.

Can you point me in the direction of these failed attempts? I’m tempted to try something similar and would rather learn from others’ mistake first.

Could we have a fediverse dating app? What would it look like? How would we go about it?

I like: how many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One. They are very efficient, but not very funny.

How fast can this ship go? Depending on how far in time you go, you’ll need to spend a long time traveling through space to get to where Earth was…

The Earth is traveling along an elliptical orbit around the sun, the sun is orbiting the Milky Way, the Milky Way is traveling along a curved trajectory. Why, if you kept your momentum, would you end up on Earth?

Lipps is back home in Tennessee

she lost her home, her car and even her dog

At least there’ll be a lot of very relatable music…

LOL

Joke’s good enough it deserves a comment in addition to the upvote.

Derp. Now I get it. In my defence, I’m also an Aussie so understandably thick. But I live in the Arctic now, where we’ve got all three bears. But the scary white ones stay away from the woods.

I mean, if your partner’s right and has demonstrated it, you could just update your perspective and be right too…

A polar bear in the woods? They’re an aquatic mammal that lives on sea ice… Where are you from?

Please share if you set it up

I’ve got some surprise gas, just pull my finger…

About 1/5th of US adults are functionally illiterate, of those 2/3rds are US-born.

The reclusiveness selection argument makes sense, but why intelligence? Brains are crazy metabolically expensive, and I can’t see why a smart reclusive spider would survive humans any better than a merely reclusive one.

I mean, the main sustainable feature of indigenous food systems is their small population size relative to the environment’s carrying capacity. Trying to feed a large city on hunted game would be far less sustainable than modern agriculture…

I’m not a fan of insurance companies, but the dental/medical insurance split makes sense. Insurance is fundamentally a risk hedging game. It matters what the risks are. Most medical conditions will only happen to a small percentage of people, so we can all put money into a pool and pay out to the unlucky people who, for example, get cancer. Almost everyone needs some dental work eventually, everyone’s teeth wear down. Dental insurance is more like a savings plan than a gamble on rare outcomes. It doesn’t make sense to pool those risks together.

Wait, how is “not equal to” a Nazi symbol?

Got it, women are too busy with sex stuff to get out on their motorbikes.
