shalafi@lemmy.worldto Space@mander.xyz•A star has been destroyed by a wandering supermassive black holeEnglish2·5 hours agoYou would think we’d see the gravitational influence long before one comes near, however.
White wisteria?! WANT. Killed my first attempt, trying again soon as I can snag a cutting off the floor at work.
I can’t blame doctors for letting obesity color their opinion. Look around your doctor’s waiting room. Everyone is fat. Imagine the suffering and illness they see daily due to fat. How can those observations not color their general attitude?

shalafi@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There should be something like a flea market where hobby gardeners go to share sprouted seedsEnglish3·10 hours agoNot sure I’ve been to a farmer’s market where no one is selling young plants.
I think OP is looking for a more informal meetup kinda deal.
shalafi@lemmy.worldto pics@lemmy.world•Due to a congenital condition, I'm 5'7" (170 cm) with size 15 UK / 16 US wide feet and giant hands. My friends call me a walking L. This is what that looks like in case you're wondering.English5·10 hours agoDick length somewhat correlates to height which correlates with big feet. OTOH, I’m 2-inches shorter and longer than average. Go figure.
Stretch you thumb and forefinger as far apart as you can. Measure. Report back. Mine’s on the money.
What happend to Melania fighting for this? Dropped that quick in the first admin. Hell, even Matt Gaetz came out in favor and was working on it. Again, dropped fast.
Yep. We have loads of lights around here and I can fire up the entire front of the house with a single command.
shalafi@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump adds a new piece of art to the Oval Office - a statue of himself moments after the assassination attempt in ButlerEnglish4·11 hours agoIf someone gave me a statue of myself looking that pathetic, I’d thank them profusely and shove it in my sock drawer, only bringing it out when they visit.
shalafi@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump adds a new piece of art to the Oval Office - a statue of himself moments after the assassination attempt in ButlerEnglish9·11 hours agoThe people behind Trump who were wounded or killed would like a word. If it was staged, and the wound was fake, it would have been done with blanks.
shalafi@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump adds a new piece of art to the Oval Office - a statue of himself moments after the assassination attempt in ButlerEnglish31·11 hours agoI wouldn’t bet on a fucking Navy SEAL winging a moving target on the ear at 400-500’. Anyone thinking it was staged has two issues: They watched too many action movies and have never shot a rifle.
shalafi@lemmy.worldto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•The new-age edge of MAGAismEnglish13·11 hours agoWeeelll, humans are out of touch with the Earth and we are depleting it’s life force. I spend a great deal of time in several ecosystems, have some education in general science, botany, biology, etc., and a great deal on interest in all life sciences.
I think about this a lot, and don’t want to write a wall of depressing shit, but our ecosystems have changed drastically since I was a wee lad in the 70s. And nobody notices! When I point out a given fact to people my age, they’re clearly taken aback, had not thought about it. “Remember when cleaning bugs off your windshield was a common task?”
I can go on for an hour, but all is see is death, or rather an absence of life. If I could teleport a 20-something to the 70s, they would freak out over the abundance and variety of animals, in the city. We had more mammals in my mid-town Tulsa hood than I see on the edge of town in NW Florida. Again, I’m outside a lot, I’m looking.
Walking around outside Aldi yesterday I was looking at the perfect grass. Where most see a well kept lawn, all I saw was a barren desert. How much insecticide and herbicide did it take to make that perfect monoculture? Money says you couldn’t dig an earthworm out of that “soil”. Know how I used to find worms? Pick a random spot of dirt and dig for a whole minute. Now I don’t even see them crawling around after a rain.
Another random fact: Global warming has ponds drying up in the summer that didn’t dry up even 10-years ago. Dragonflies take 2-years to mature underwater. Put that together and enjoy all the mosquitoes.
Good news! My efforts have brought frogs back to my yard. They were deafening last night! Hoping to have mature dragonflies next year, or barring that, 2-years from now after I get the 150g pond set up.
(I know that’s not what she’s talking about, just had to get a bit off my chest.)
My ex! Kept saying we didn’t need an heir and a spare. One afternoon, between my surgeries, she grabbed me, “I’m ovulating”.
One shot through the engine block. And that’s what I’ll tell his big sister when the time comes. Yes, you can get pregnant the first time.
