Chicken? That’s basically health food.

That’s a great definition of science! Look at something in the world and take it way too seriously.

That’s very interesting… because in these memes, anything can be absurd except for the Saddam-9/11 link; in this way they tacitly propagate the lie that Saddam was connected to 9/11.

Over the past 24 hours I’ve seen memes about the absurdity of saying that immigrants are eating pets in Ohio. But if conservatives wanted to counteract that, they’d adopt the Saddam-9/11-meme approach: propagate memes that similarly involve absurdities but that tacitly assume that immigrants do eat pets in Ohio.

Maybe I’m thinking too much like a scientist. There’s probably already a principle something like: To spread a harmful lie, hide it in a harmless lie.

(edit: I don’t mean this as a criticism of you in particular, @fossilesque@mander.xyz ; on the contrary thank you for keeping us all up-to-date on the latest memes.)

so… I’m familiar with the meme, but connecting Saddam with 9/11 was a conservative take used to rush us into an unnecessary war, so… the intent of these memes is a little hard to interpret.

“Thoughts?”

hi I’m just a bystander, but here are a couple Lemmy summarizing bots:

• https://github.com/RikudouSage/LemmyAutoTldrBot
• https://github.com/tracyspacy/ai-tldr-bot-lemmy

I haven’t seen them in action in a while, I think they fell out of popularity.

That’s a great idea, I’ma try that from now on.

Nobody has said Die Hard?!?

I kind of understand the objection, though. It’s a short step from “it isn’t manly to be enraged” to “just pull yourself up from your bootstraps.” I don’t think that’s what Marcus Aurelius was saying, but I can see how someone might read it that way.

Is this how mermaids are conceived?

Do they even make baseball gloves for AI hands?

The last couple journals I published in let you put the post-print PDF on your web page after an “embargo period”. I’ve never personally seen a journal forbid you from submitting articles whose preprints had been posted in sites like arxiv.org.

But I think scientific publishing isn’t “weird”, more like “predatory”, “exploitative”, or at least “antiquated.”

I’m not sure I remember correctly, wasn’t that artist very pro-Reddit during the API protest?

You may be thinking of 'Pataphysics:

the science of that which is superinduced upon metaphysics, whether within or beyond the latter’s limitations, extending as far beyond metaphysics as the latter extends beyond physics

Surrealism is always antifascist.

I dunno. Doublethink is pretty surreal, but it supports fascism. If you’re just talking about art, I think you could make the case that the Italian Futurists were at least Surrealist-adjacent, and some of them supported fascism.

Apparently this is a monument to the Inca nobleman Cahuide

…an Inca nobleman and warrior of the 16th century (1536) in Cuzco, Peru, who participated in the battle of Sacsayhuamán, led by Manco Inca. In one of his battles when the castle he was defending fell into the hands of Conquistador, he jumped from the top of one of the three towers of Sacsayhuamán, called Muyuq Marka, so as not to surrender to his enemies.

Reportedly the sculpture is by three brothers: Luis Alberto Yanqui Yucra, Raúl Oswaldo Yanqui Yucra, and Rodolfo Edwin Yanqui Yucra, and it was made fairly recently (source in Spanish).

The name of the sculpture is “Cahuide against the Spaniard”. Here’s a picture of the sculptors with the statue:

You’re the perfect audience for their paper. Let them know what parts weren’t clear or convincing. There’s always something.

Something about your plans was very appealing to you. What about them gave you a sense of identity? Why those plans specifically? Try to figure that out: be very specific, write it down even, and discuss it with people. Once you figure out the driving force behind your plans, use that to guide you.
