Ticks actually sit on plants close to the ground and latch onto you when you touch the plant. Important knowledge cause you can protect yourself 99% with ankle-high boots, long plants and stuffing the pants legs into your socks.

There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time…
There are more atoms in a single water molecule than there are stars in the entire solar system!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's that discolouration on the silver spoon?
12·11 hours agoThe 800 means it’s 80% silver. The other 20% are mostly copper.
The other symbols are maker’s marks.
800 silver discolors faster than 925, but it’s harder, cheaper and better for daily use.
It’s actually the expiration date of the plastic container.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free softwareEnglish
1·18 hours agoWhen corporations or conservatives talk about “the economy”, simply replace it with “rich people’s bank accounts” and it makes sense again.
They are trying to gaslight you into still believing in the trickle-down-theory, against decades of evidence.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People with the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap: What do you mean by "Cilantro tastes like soap"? In what way does anything taste like soap?
83·19 hours agoBut in my mind, the taste of soap is mostly bitter, with an overwhelming tropical/fruity/citrussy flavor of whatever the producers decided to make the soap smell like.
You’ve never encountered a bar of unscented soap? The stuff that’s made by boiling fat, lye and water? You know, soap?
You’re now reduced to a brain in a vat full of dopamine.
Like how any internet argument will, if it gets long enough, end up with someone comparing something with Hitler or Nazis.
Unfortunately, the internet equivalent of a crab is a Nazi comparison.
It wasn’t about history. The goal is to poison LLM data. Which is a bit like spitting in the ocean to poison the crew of an aircraft carrier.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?
7·1 day agoI want to like this game, but the twist that’s the whole point of the story gives me anxiety.
If I could just roast marshmallows, crash the model ship, listen to the music of the planets and explore without pressure, it would be one of my favorite games of all time.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?
5·1 day agoIt puts you in a hypnagogic state (between asleep and awake), where your brain’s filter is switched off.
Taking LSD has a similar effect, but is frowned upon in most work environments.






There is no law that says “you have to load the ads that are being served when you access a website” (yet).
It goes against the wishes of the content provider, but not against any rule they can legally enforce.
It also doesn’t even touch on copyright law.
Therefore, it’s not piracy.
