you’re high on mushrooms in the Viking age, the gods are everywhere
I’ve been using a crumpler dreadful embarrassment for over a decade, padded messenger style that I use for work or trips for a few days/weekend, it was a bit expensive but it’s been very durable if you prefer a single strap style.
To be fair my bag is rad. Also it felt kinda futuristic hot spotting my work laptop to my phone to connect to some servers halfway across the country while in my car in a parking lot, but that wears off pretty quickly after a couple times.
Dead cells and rogue legacy 1/2 were a lot of fun. Check out nethack if you want something more casual for mobile or in a terminal, it’s a classic. Switch specific I’d say check out dead cells or Isaac. If you want something casual without a big story or learning a bunch of RPG systems you might want to check out donut county, goose game, or golf story.
If everyone is reliving the same day over and over again most people can go a day without eating with some mild discomfort, pretty much all agriculture, grocery, etc would become luxury and less needed or used.
All travel would become short distance you can’t spend 24hrs traveling to the other side of the planet just to get reset back home. Markets would go into stasis and stay closed there’s no interest earned over 0 days, which means most people would stop working as most jobs wouldn’t be necessary if everything just resets after 24 hours, you can’t build or destroy anything permanent.
I think most people would panic or just vacation for a few months worth of repeated days before organizing around new myths and practices and traditions around what caused it and how to change it back.
No question it causes a little heat when it bounces off and the heat is absorbed, but if that heat gets to the point where you’re causing damage cooking yourself with a phone the phone is seriously malfunctioning and broken.
But blocking any of it is useless because none of it is going into your head, the wavelength of the radio waves is too large to penetrate skin or bone, it bounces off harmlessly like am/fm radio waves. It’s in the nonionizing range of the em spectrum, unlike ionizing em waves like X-rays, gamma rays, radon emissions, etc that do penetrate human bodies and can cause protein or DNA damage.
Arguing politics with someone who thinks ‘let’s go Brandon’ is useful argumentation is like arguing religion with someone who never read their holy book or science with someone who barely passed 5th grade, their whole position is as superficial as possible and they think name calling is effective discourse in general because it works on people who are uneducated on the topic and rhetoric like themselves.
Whoops, should have been https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Methylcyclopropene it blocks ethylene receptors that a bunch of plants use for regulating ripening and responding to stress conditions like drought, flooding, high salt, etc.
Don’t buy a pressure washer, rent one. You won’t need it very often, and if you do consider a business it’ll let you try one or two more out first before committing to a purchase. Also learning a musical instrument is really fulfilling for a lot of people.
We can pretty much halt aging in apples using a gas made of this stuff
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn’t have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
Don’t play rigged games.
Do what you think is right, but actually take some time to think about if it’s right or just feels right.
Being right and being wrong feel the exact same until challenged by facts, challenge your own beliefs, use the Socratic method if you need a starting point.
In my experience Twitter was for modern Seinfeld jokes, mastodon is for monsterdon Sundays at 9pm et, and Lemmy is for commenting on Internet stuff.
This is the answer or similar enough I got when I was Catholic
Exactly, or maybe Qu-like species develop too far from Earth’s biological origin to discover each other, like in another galaxy
Post scarcity resources society would no longer fight over resources, but would likely still continue fighting over control over each other. Medical and technical breakthroughs leading to people living hundreds of years or longer would still fight over cultural issues regardless if there’s a monoculture or freedom of cultural expression. As long as there are humans there will likely be individual vs collective power struggles.
One interesting idea is that humanity may destroy itself, or it may lead to one or more progeny species that are no longer human. The Copernican principle is that Earth isn’t in some privileged position, but more likely observations of the universe from Earth are representative of the average around the universe. The idea can be extended to the Copernican method (not by Copernicus, and questionably scientific) to make predictions about the longevity of all sorts of things. If we can assume we’re close to the middle of humanity with about 100 billion people existing before us, we can then calculate based on population projections how much more time another 100 billion would take, somewhere between ~800-18,000 years. It doesn’t predict the cause of the end, maybe destruction, maybe mutating into something new to continue on, but evolution is still active today in all species based on natural and artificial survival pressures. Maybe one of those post human species will be able to shed some of our common faults.
I’d want to try some exotic synthetic meats you can’t or shouldn’t get anymore like dodo or dolphin. I wouldn’t have the stomach to try it but you can bet there’ll be some market for synthetic long pig. For normal consumption though I don’t eat much meat now so I’d probably just go with whichever if there’s no difference in cost or calories.
Build community locally, spend time with friends and family cultivating relationships, do something generous for someone else, volunteer for a charity or activism, build an interest in a creative hobby that exercises your imagination. Follow your curiosity and our common interests in discovery and exploration through education and experimentation.
Mostly older recs but mine are comedy bang bang, Dan Carlin hardcore history, Star talk, Jeff Gerstmann (video games), and hospital records (electronic, drum and bass).
