Can’t believe the mistake in this one - Fungi are the gods.


I will also note that the way that generation made that money was part of the problem. They didn’t conjure that money from thin air - there were always going to be consequences for the systems created where that money was made.


Some sources – mainly psychology and wellness websites, but also notably mainstream news outlets such as Fox News…
Are we still referring to Fox News as a “news outlet”?


This is objectively false in NYC.
American Evangelical Christianity is what most of Lemmy users seem to really hate. They know nothing about Orthodox or other kinds of Christianity.
You weren’t kidding!
California enforces many wildlife regulations. CESA, or the California Endangered Species Act, is designed to keep animal and plant life from extinction. The law covers any threatened “bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant.”
Insects weren’t mentioned in the specific act’s wording. However, a separate California regulation legally defines fish as “a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.”
So, are bees actually fish? Yes, because all invertebrates are according to California law. The broad definition of fish allows activists to fight for insect survival.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has clarified that “It was not believed necessary to include the term invertebrate in the original legislation because ‘fish’ is defined in the Fish and Game Code to include ‘invertebrates’…”

I would snarkily, rhetorically, ask if people are even taught how to diagram out a sentence structure anymore, but I already know the answer is ‘not really, no’, because the average adult American literacy level is that of a 6th grader.

If you want to keep things crystal clear, choose flammable when you are referring to something that catches fire and burns easily, and use the relatively recent nonflammable when referring to something that doesn’t catch fire and burn easily. Inflammable is just likely to enflame confusion.
The people at Merriam are alright 👌
Of course he does. His whole ascent to Presidency has had plenty on display. This isn’t new. It’s because people see him behave this way that he got this far. That’s the problem.
Scream “Fire” at a theater. Obviously you cannot.


Apparently…
The Maya referred to the Gulf as Chactemal, meaning “the red place,” likely referencing the reddish hues of the water at sunset or its fertile coastlines. Indigenous names were often descriptive, reflecting geographical features or spiritual beliefs tied to the environment. Unfortunately, much of this indigenous nomenclature was lost or overwritten during European colonization.
Link. I’m sure there are better ones. Hard to find good sources.


Why is 30 the cutoff? I’m in my 30s and haven’t even heard of anyone referencing this character.


Sometimes I need to wipe my face after a meal and have no napkins so I use money
