life is extra surreal for french speakers right now because in french, phonetically, “chat gpt” sounds exactly like “cat, i farted” (chat, j’ai pété). everywhere, on TV, in the news, people going “cat, i farted” over and over with a straight face. is cat, i farted going to steal your job? how are schools dealing with cat, i farted? lawyer caught using cat, i farted. it’s incredible.

STOP
STOP
STOP
Stop, making festive "bug print" fabrics, children's books and drawings that include "mix of bugs" but don't contain ants.

I know how you artists are.
You never skip the butterfly because of colors.
Never skip the beetle because of ... shape.
Never skip a centipede & millipede because of legs.
Never skip the spider because of LORE.

But ants are "boring" --right?
NO WRONG

A nature drawing without ants is like a forest without leaves.
A night sky... without any stars.

As if we need any more proof this party is a joke.

So they can burn up in the summer?

We can't "plant" our way out of this even if we had the space.

CO2 isn’t a limiting factor for plant growth. Phosphorus and other elements are the limiting factors.

If plants could handle our CO2 output we never would have seen it rise in the first place.

“Look at that new bullshit thing Facebook just came out with. It's really Instagram, that's how they got all their users so fast by just getting them to jump through another hoop. You can stop reporting that it set records. They just came up with a new design and name for Instagram and said it was setting records, knowing that the reporters were bored of hating Zuckerberg, and now were ready to say he's cool again because he is trying to embarrass...”

After a bit of bickering, the main character, also an otter, breaks the tension by suddenly diving into the lake, possibly for the first time since the incident. The others follow and things are good until the otter decides to rest briefly at the bottom of the lake, where he suddenly finds himself mysteriously paralyzed until he loses consciousness.

He survives, but whatever was responsible missed the chance to do the funniest thing possible there

Summary if you haven't played: Echo is about a group of early 20-somethings reuniting during spring break in their awful little desert town.

They're all permanently fucked up because 10 years ago one of them, an otter, drowned under mysterious circumstances. On Friday, they get together at the lake where it happened in an attempt to reach closure.

Curious about the demographic of fedi: What continent are you on?

(Ordered alphabetically in case you're wondering)

Please boost if appropriate, I want to reach as many users as possible.

Oceania is defined as in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania - it is not a continent, but instead a geographic region consisting primarily of Australia and New Zealand. I had to collapse those into one to avoid needing more than 8 options.

if you live in america here are some fun facts about the HPV vaccine:

1. regardless of gender you can now get it if you are under 45

2. if you previously received Gardasil 4 (the vaccine prior to 2015), you can still get Gardasil 9. i didn't realize this until i asked my doctor.

I know the fact that the Windows lock screen tries to clickbait you into clicking their little descriptive tags on whatever picture isn't that big of a deal, but it just infuriates me because it speaks to everything that is wrong about modern Windows.

In modern Windows, you're stuck in this adversarial relationship with your own OS. It's trying to get you to use a browser you don't want, or services you don't want, or send data you don't want to send to people you don't want to have it. It's never respecting your consent; the button is never "No", it's always "Maybe Later". Everything is built to make you do what they want, not what YOU want.

Even if you don't use Linux every day on your desktop (I still don't, for complicated reasons), it's hard to imagine not at least rooting for them. I want Linux to do better and better every year, and it *is*, and that delights me. Apps "just work" more and more often, and gaming is way, way better. Honestly, thank goodness it exists, for so many reasons.

If you were Black and woke up in NYC on Monday, July 13, 1863, things got terrifying quick. For Black New Yorkers, there was no reprieve. Black life was dispensable to white mobs & law authorities. The Civil War, poverty, & rabid racism in 19th-century New York explains the events of that week. For Black Americans, the NYC Draft Riots were a heinous episode in an already brutal age. But it didn’t happen in a vacuum.
