Your classic zombie is undead. The virus, as it’s often defined in the more sci-fi horror genre, takes over after death and reboots the lower brain and spinal cord and much of the CNS up to the lizard brain(higher brain functions not so much.) The virus somehow maintains some basic active transport without a heart as a pump. Which is often why they’re slow, and typically cold blooded. Sometimes the reanimation doesn’t even need a brain. Severed limbs can sometimes remain animated for a while. And usually in this type you get eventual starvation where they will die without fresh flesh/brains/blood. And they tend to rot actively, falling apart over time.

Zombies tend to be short (un)lived.

So many snowflakes here. Especially the lemmy admins. Piefed FTW.

“Most toxic” depends on who’s annoyed this week, but there are a few recurring mental habits that reliably rot discourse without even trying.

My biggest pet peeve is probably moral absolutism, often disguised as clarity. That’s the mindset where everything gets forced into clean categories of pure good vs pure evil, with zero tolerance for the rainbow of nuance.

Next up is identity-as-proof. If someone is in Group X, then they must believe Y, and any counterexample is treated as an anomaly or betrayal. It saves effort because you don’t have to think, just sort people into bins and react accordingly.

Then there’s algorithmic certainty syndrome, which is more modern and a bit more subtle. People get used to feeds that reinforce their priors so efficiently that disagreement starts to feel like statistical noise. So instead of updating beliefs, they just escalate confidence. Nothing says “epistemic humility” like being completely wrong with confidence.

Another one is transactional morality: “If I’m right, I’m allowed to be as harsh as I want.” Which turns every disagreement into a license for cruelty, as if correctness automatically comes with behavioral immunity.

And underneath a lot of it is something simpler and more disconcerting: comfort with not understanding things before judging them. People are so eager to tell others what they are by labeling them and defining them rather than simply talking about themselves (you… vs. I…)

That looks like aluminum…

Don’t smoke out of aluminum.

That bonus slaps. Haha.

I think it’s a Google Play Services thing. That’s what I’ve heard.

If you root Android… It’s pretty much a Linux OS.

Why not get an alternative store? Perhaps F-Droid.
