Kentucky Republican pushes bill to make sex with first cousin not incest
  • This was a mistake in the bill which he retracted, amended and resubmitted.

    The first cousins are safe, legally anyway.

    What I don't get is I assume they had a law so why was this needed?

    If on average, a person eats 8 spider in their sleep per year and assuming that no one other than one person ever ate a spider in their sleep, someone eats 64 billion spiders in their sleep per year
  • The myth goes deeper.
    The story of Lisa Holst originating this myth as a spoof fact is also a myth.

    Neither the supposed journalists, Lisa Holst, nor the magazine, PC Professional, exist.

    The hunt is on for the earliest reference. Probably on a newsnet group.

    How often to you bail on a half-written post or response?
  • I used to do it a lot.
    Typically this would be responding to someone being provocative.
    I decided that they were angry people just trying to make other people angry.
    So now I write articles mocking them.
    I am much more relaxed now.

    The four houses dads belong to.
  • Having tools in matching colours is definitely a sign of youth.
    As you get older and lose some, lend some (and the a-hole doesn't return them - yes I'm talking about you John Pinder) then you get some replacements that don't match. Eventually after many years you have an eclectic mix.

    How are you on collecting random nuts and screws that might just come in handy one day? That is the true art of the cave.

    AITA for not using headphones?
  • Yes.
    You are like the annoying person in the cafeteria drowning out me listening to Hungarian folk-punk on speaker.

    The fact that people this stupid exist
  • Poor Dolly Parton.

    She help fund a vaccine and no one is banging on about her vaccine causing you to get a large blonde hairdo (we all know it's a wig), and large breasts.

    There is no democracy in the targeting of people who've helped fund development. I think they've missed a trick.

    Think I've just had an idea about an article taking the piss out of anti -vaxers.

    What mildly infuriates me is the lack of content control in this sub
  • Sounds good to me.

    We all make choices about the company we keep.

    I choose not to hang out in biker bars because for me a motorbike is a form of transport and really not interesting to talk about. I get really bored.
    My brother is a bike enthusiast with the tattoos etc and he can go on about bikes....

  • The only danger they pose is to themselves and the witless.

    Having said that, they can be really boring and monotonous. Their arguments are gormless at best, and don't have the intelligence to know when their vacuous arguments have been shot between the water line.

    Will they learn anything. Nope. They are immune to intelligence (see what I did there?).

    Will Meta scrape and crawl through all our data now?
  • What scraping can get is very little public information.

    There's a lot of information that servers keep contained such as IP addresses of where you are when you made a post. Other info such as your email address remains contained within your own instance. Meta cannot get at that information. No other Fediverse server can get at that.

    This blog from Gargoron (Eugen Rochko) who essentially created ActivityPub that underpin all these Fediverse systems including Mastodon, Calckey, Pixelfed, kbin, Lemmy etc.

  • Will it be when journalists from tabloid newspapers start putting articles on their Facebook pages saying 'after a fallout with the neighbours/school/bride/boss one angry mother/homeowner/parent took to kbin/Lemmy to ask others what they think'.

    I suspect that most tabloid journalists would find the concept of instances and different systems showing the same content too mind-blowing.
