Can we avoid using the space tourists for memes?
Unless we’re ridiculing them, obvs.

Still feel like it’s not necessarily a good idea to apply the lessons to human society, but… yeah, depressing outcomes.

FYI, it’s very important to note that these are mice, not rats, which have drastically different social dynamics. I don’t know if this experiment has been repeated with rats, (and I rather hope not) but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a very different outcome.Humans are very different animals, though, and we should probably be cautious about projecting these results onto society.

Not an expert, but based on their narrower size and the massively reduced weight placed on them, I’d imagine bicycle tires barely contribute to this situation.

Yeah, I think this is the best option. It sounds a little weird at first, because we’re so used to hearing it the other way around, but it makes more sense if you think about it.
call_me_xale@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the smallest hill you would die on?14·2 months agoSome computer nerd friends and I came up with a solution for this:
Computer architectures typically provide separate instructions for “logical” and “arithmetic” bit-shifts. The details as to why aren’t important, but we can borrow the nomenclature.
When referring to “tomorrow” in the sense of “when I wake up from my next sleep cycle”, use “logical tomorrow”. When referring to “tomorrow” in the sense of “after midnight tonight”, use “arithmetic tomorrow” (or “chronological tomorrow”, if you really want to be pedantic).

If you’re not into hiding/running from monsters, there’s an option to turn enemy aggression off so you can just play through the story, which is the real gem.

ownerservant here, I can answer this!Rabbits produce two kinds of feces: normal “waste” feces and edible “cecotropes” or “cecal pellets”. They generally eat the cecotropes immediately after excreting them, and only drop the waste into their litterboxes.

A pretty large majority of the numbers that people care about in real life can easily be represented by a ratio of integers, and they allow math with perfect precision.
eta: even monetary types are just a form of Rational, with the denominators clamped to powers of ten
Sigh. Guess I need the joke explained?
What’s wrong with strict types?
