For health reasons I stopped eating fast food more than 10 years ago. I'm still amazed so many people do. It feels like something you do when you're a kid to me. I know it's not that way for many. It is very unhealthy food though. I highly recommend not going. Best of luck.
I had the same thought!
This is a pretty amazing story. Dope pick actually.
I mean, this is a possibility. But under the Biden administration a lot of workers rights were improved, I wouldn't be surprised if this one happens as well.
Be Cool Even When Really Big Goblins Casually Drop Acid
Lemmyversers, I'm looking for some help developing a new mnemonic device.
Inspired by a video by Epic Spaceman, where he explains a handy system for comparing the size of things from a banana to an atom, I’ve come up with a mnemonic device to aid in remembering these scales.
He lists items, each smaller than the previous by a factor of 10:
It goes:
- Banana
- Coin
- Edge of the coin
- Waterbear/microorganism
- Red blood cell
- Bacteria
- "Good virus"/Bacteriophage
- Corona Virus/"Bad Virus"
- DNA
- Atom
So a coin is roughly 1/10 a banana, and the edge of that coin is roughly 1/10 the size if that coin.
It gives good references for thinking about other things if similar size. A sort of banana for scale at each factor of 10.
And allows you to quickly determine approximations like Covid is roughly 1000 times smaller than a red blood cell. Or an atom is roughly 1 billion times smaller than a banana. (That doesn't sound right. Is that actually right?)
Do you think that's a useful memory tool? And are these best touchstones for scale at each level?
The mnemonic I've come up with for it as you may have guessed, is:
- Be
- Cool
- Even
- When
- Really
- Big
- Goblins
- Casually
- Drop
- Acid
Do you have any better ideas or tweaks you"d recommend for the mnemonic or the touchstones?
Would this be helpful when trying to wrap your head around the scale of the micro?
Also, what would make for a good macro version of this? Where everything got bigger by a factor of 10?
In the ocean? I like decent grandmas who want their car batteries properly d'esordio of.

This is so good! I wish they had an easy mode for my simple geocentric American brain, but I think this will help me with said brain nonetheless.
Edit: The word I was looking for was ethnocentric I guess, but I don't even feel comfortable describing myself that way as a joke. It's how we were all raised here, though.
In related news. Watch Democracy Now's coverage of "The Night Won't End" which features the audio from Hind with translation in a part of it.
The sound they make!
It's rhe trillions of dollars in debt bit I'm skeptical that it really matters.
I'm a big hugger. I wish that there was more affection between men, I often worry I'm making other men uncomfortable and then in turn I get uncomfortable about it. The whole thing makes me far more stressed than I wish it did honestly.
I liked this bit.
“My entire bladder hurts. I was holding back throw-up. My legs are killing me,” said Daniel Allen, one of the individuals on the ride who called the 25-minute ordeal “just crazy.”
Teens who were stuck on the ride told KOIN 6 News being suspended in the air like that made them think about life.
“People praying to God, screaming for their life, throwing up, passing out, it was bad,” Jordan Harding said.
A woman who witnessed the ride getting stuck from the ground recalled praying for those upside down and strapped in for nearly a half-hour.
“The ride went up, the kids got stuck on the ride and they were just dangling,” said Lavina Waters. “And somebody came in and said ‘hey, the kids are stuck on the ride’ and I look up, and sure enough, they were stuck on the ride.”
This popped up on my yt feed and I had no idea what a legit informative video it would be.
The beginning made it just a little clearer
Firefox, is blocking various censorship circumvention add-ons for its browser, including ones specifically to help those in Russia bypass state censorship.The add-ons were blocked at the request of Russia’s federal censorship agency, Roskomnadzor — the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media — according to a statement by Mozilla to The Intercept.
“Following recent regulatory changes in Russia, we received persistent requests from Roskomnadzor demanding that five add-ons be removed from the Mozilla add-on store,” a Mozilla spokesperson told The Intercept in response to a request for comment. “After careful consideration, we’ve temporarily restricted their availability within Russia. Recognizing the implications of these actions, we are closely evaluating our next steps while keeping in mind our local community.”
Why you gotta rip on pitbulls, man? Don't compare them with those likes.
Did you check your phone or computer's text shortcuts? Has it ever happened for any other words?
The 3 day no poop challenge - where it all began
August 22nd, 2023. History occurs on Lemmy.world
--------
OP is very much focused on answers and taking this very seriously. They mean business, about not doing their business.
But, in their steadfast preparation they make a fatal flaw...
---------------------
The memes came in hot.
What makes Lemmy feel like home After day 3 Lemmy users in 3 days
3 Days? Supermarket shelves in 3 days
Created a new Lemmy user manual
Putin’s address to the nation - OP "is that a threat?"
Respect the poop guy, him who goes to a honorable quest
--------------------- OP seemed to enjoy them
--------------------- More notable moments:
Things are looking dire, OP still seeking advice the next day
Is this all a part of some spiritual journey for OP?
The community gave OP their everlasting support.
------- Did they accomplish their goal?? I DID IT
Maybe, the journey is not at it's end yet... They asked for advice about ramen, and calcium tablets... ----- The community still waits with baited breath...
Godspeed, u/mizu6079 o7
Great app! - A few requests
Got some ideas/requests.
This is my favorite app so far. Love the swipe controls and the compact UI. Liking the snappiness of it all.
Ideas/requests
- Add direct messaging (I can see my messages but can't respond to them).
- Add trending communities when you click search/a way to explore communities rather than having to type in the specific community you want.
- Make it so clicking on "all" at the top of the screen opens a menu that gives you the option to switch between all, local, subscribed and specific subs and functions as a search.
- Allow user to customize UI a bit more, specifically in compact mode I'd like to be able to switch the side that the preview thumbnail is on.
- Show profile banners and have a way for users to customize their banner and profile pic.
- Add an edit post function.
- Add sidebars.
- Ability to save drafts on posts and comments.
Keep up the amazing work! ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ--
