Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them
  • Almost correct, but artistic depictions of Nazi iconography actually are exempt from the ban (falling under "Kunstfreiheit" - artistic freedom).

    The reason why Wolfenstein still had to be censored was because video games were not really seen as a form of art for quite a long time. But AFAIK that has fortunately changed in the last years and you can now legally obtain uncensored Wolfenstein versions in Germany.

    Healthy sleep habits
  • Are you by any chance from Korea? Cause that hysteria about "fan death" seems to be a prevailing urban myth around there:

    But apart from people with dust mite allergies and the like, where air circulation can increase the allergen content of the air, sleeping with an fan on does not come with any health risks whatsoever:

    What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now?
  • Thank you! They get trashed on all occasions here in the fediverse and I get the animosity since every corp and their mother now wants to ride the hype train. But I've kinda changed my mind about AI since having been recommended two AI tools that actually cite sources for their answers (Elicit and Perplexity). They're an absolute godsend for the literature search on my Bachelor's Thesis

  • Lmao how on earth is this dangerous? Or does this classify as 'mixing uppers and downers' for you? Because it definitely isn't, melatonin is barely more psychoactive than a sugar pill

    Sleep is important
  • "good" lmao

    Can attest that it works great, except for the dogshit sleep quality, like with almost every sleep aid known to man. (except for GHB and Pregabalin, but these have their own issues)

    Birds rule
  • What makes you think birds wouldn't still recognize moving zombies as a potential threat just like living humans or any other larger animal and just stay clear of them? Also, the possibility of zoonosis isn't all that far fetched either, resulting in zombie birds also spreading the plague

    Anon is anti drugs
  • Adderall is amphetamine, the base compound.

    Meth is methamphetamine, amphetamine with a methyl group attached to it, so it's very closely related to Adderall. That small change makes it a bit more potent, longer lasting and euphoric though.

    But meth can also get prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsia (under the brand name 'Desoxyn') in very rare cases where even Adderall doesn't seem to do the trick. So basically, both substances can be used therapeutically and they both can fuck up your life if you start abusing them, with meth admittedly being more potent and dangerous than regular amphetamine.

  • Du und alle deine Kolleg*innen können ja nichts dafür, dass die Bahn durch jahrzehntelange inkompetente bis absichtlich nachlässige Verkehrspolitik bis zum heutigen Zustand heruntergewirtschaftet wurde. Wenn überhaupt, seid ihr neben den Fahrgästen ja die Haupt-Leidtragenden der miserablen Verfassung unserer Bahninfrastruktur.

    Trott allem bin ich großer Fan von Zugfahren, insofern danke für deinen Dienst und deinen Einsatz, den Laden trotzdem am Laufen zu halten o7

    Debate this!
  • While I don't agree with your conclusion/personal opinion of more repressive politics as the solution to this, I still want to thank and upvote you for explaining the situation and the resulting political climate in Sweden in a bit of detail.

    IMHO, none of that justifies voting for far-right or even fascist parties (like the AfD over here in Germany), but I can absolutely understand the reasons why people do it.
