If people would use (and admins allow, and devs implement on mobile clients) the language tags we already have I would be happy already.

minimum and maximum body temperature (we are measuring humans, not the environment). I thought mentioning 50 as “normal human temperature” it was clear I was talking about body temperature

I should have specified minimum and maximum body temperature. Doesn’t matter where you are from, if your body temperature is like 15ºC or 45ºC you will hardly survive, and majority will die way before that.

Celsius was designed for water. A human scale would be like 100 = maximum temperature human is expected to be alive and 0 = minimum temperature human is expected to be alive (and 50 normal human temperature, so the scale isn’t even linear).

But have you ever seen someone who is not far left using the term estadounidense/estadunidense?

It’s like when you ask if someone smokes and the person says “smoke what?” you already know he’s a pothead xD

Are you saying science gaslights society into thinking it’s more enlightened?

When they aren’t imperialist bootlickers.

ps: In Portuguese, United States is Estados Unidos - hence estadounidense.

In my country you can know someone’s politics just by knowing if they call people from the USA americanos or estadounidenses.

“I really like the 60s [ ] of this apartment”
“His actions made me question his [ ]”

Yep, hate when I want to follow some project and they link you to X, Reddit and Discord lol

There is a whole religion based on wanting to stop wanting.

Also I just tried to comment on a post on lemmy.world and got an error message saying language not allowed.

plot twist: it isn’t the same guy in every panel.

I have read it here: https://www.washingtonblade.com/2026/01/30/two-chinese-men-detained-over-ai-generated-picture-of-pandas-engaging-in-same-sex-behavior/

at least three similar incidents have occurred in Chengdu recently, all involving netizens posting on social media linking Chengdu with homosexuality, resulting in legal repercussions. This isn’t just about giant pandas. I think the local police’s reaction was somewhat excessive,” said Renn Hao, a Chinese queer activist. “The content was actually praising Chengdu’s inclusivity, and there was no need to punish them with regulations like ‘maliciously spreading false information.’”

“This situation reflects the strict censorship of LGBT related content in the area,” they added. “This censorship makes LGBT-related content increasingly invisible, and people are even more afraid to post or mention it. This not only impacts the LGBTQ+ community in China but also hinders public understanding and awareness of this group.”

more context I’ve read from: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/01/21/china-gay-panda-chengdu/

Wang Xuetang, a lawyer with J. Tongue Law Office in Shenzhen, says the suspects in the “gay pandas” case were penalized not for rumormongering, but for the AI-modified news photo they produced.

“This case has been described as a stigmatization of Chengdu, because many netizens joked that homosexuality is so widespread in the city that even pandas there turned gay.

Officials appear to be trying to erase Chengdu’s unofficial queer capital status, he said.

Wang noted that most of the Chengdu cases were defined as “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” a vaguely-defined criminal offense that has often been used to control speech and deter dissent.

“There used to be a vibrant gay scene in Chengdu, and LGBTQ people there were highly visible and welcomed,” said Kenneth Cheung, a Hong Kong-based activist who founded the LGBTQ+ rights group Rainbow China. “Now, that culture increasingly faces challenges,” especially following the recent detentions, he said.

Just yesterday I was reading about those two guys arrested in China for using AI to make images of gay pandas having sex… great prospects for all furries and LGBT fans of China (which also has such wonderful scores on feminism). It also works for the people praising the establishment of more dogmatic conservative religious groups in western countries because it’s so progressive to do so, but you can’t mention this on Leopards Ate My Face…

Insult isn’t even a crime :P

edit: Shouldn’t be a crime.
Unpopular Opinion: Adults that can’t handle insults are overgrown children. Most of the time insults are to the detriment of the person insulting anyway.

You know that thing on video games that stuff is only rendered when the player is looking at it? A simulated universe could probably save a lot of energy by implementing something like that, like particles behaving like waves until observed.

A simulated universe would probably have some hard caps introduced to reduce computational needs, like some minimum temperature things can reach or max velocity.

if you set up a pi-hole you aren’t sending any data to Microsoft because you are using Linux though… unless you are talking about server in which there are devices running Windows…

I get your point, and I was actually kinda playing devil’s advocate here, I really thought I’d be the one getting downvoted lol
