Fun fact, Blue Whales ejaculate 20 litres each time. Maybe, this is why the ocean is salty?

Life, love, happiness, and hope. What wonderful things we will be denying to our children, and children's children if our species doesn't continue. Propagation, and the want to make ourselves better through our children is an anci

Thank God we don't live in a box, and in fact, humans (especially in the west), have substantially declining birth rates. It seems humanity will top out at 11 billion people, then rapidly decline after 2100. If anything, we are heading

Coincidentally, there is a similar law being out forward in the U.K. Is this a contrived effort, or a happy accident for the government is pulled off?

Hi, my wife has post concussion syndrome, she was lucky enough to see an NHS consultant after just a 6 months wait. The consultant told her not to take pain meds every single day, you need to limit it, otherwise the headaches will get worse

Son, evil can't be tamed, rationalised, or ignored. If you are ever unfortunate enough to meet true evil in your life, you will instantly know what needs to be done about it.

You can’t reason with evil, son. Evil wants what it wants and won’t stop until it’s won or you kill it.

Nonsense, the industry giants are just trying to scare the law makers to license the technology. Effectively, cutting out everyone else. Remember the Google note circulating saying "they have no moat", this is their moat. They hav

Probably the same reason Google, and Facebook spy on you. Behavioral surplus to exploit, and profit from your perceived persona to advertisers. In short, profiling, and assuming they know all about you to promote, deny, or manipulate variou

Skeptical me things the cat is out of the bag, and they are scrambling to capture it back. The amount that has been invested into OpenAi is massive, imagine if it's all for nothing? We can run this stuff at home, on a Pixel, or even la

Mastodon Isn't trying to be the next Twitter, it doesn't need to scale. Some of the very best communities are just 10,000 people. We can connect with each other, and see others instances. The author is to totally missing the point

Arguably, the erosion of mental health could be laid at the feet of greedy corporations using algos to push hate, and division for eyeballs to advertisers. Isn't Nostr algo free? Isn't it just a messaging service?

Does anyone use Neeva? I have been for a few years, and pay for it. Loving it so far. I was a heavy user of Google way back when, then moved to DDG for many, many years. Settling on Neeva. However, I will check out Kagi now, maybe I will mo

Would it be fair to say this is an impressive computer rendering of the sun? Are there any real, untouched, photos of the sun available? Is it true the sun is actually white?

To think, numerous respected scientists we mocked, ridiculed and canceled when they pointed this out this was likely, years ago.

But how? Am I being daft, how can they remove themselves from the U.K.? What's going to stop people in the U.K. from using the service? If this is possible, why is this service a good thing in the first place? Surely, we need a decentr

We need to give more money to the government to fix this, instate digital ID's, and apply a carbon credit to everyone. To make this work, we need to have surveillance across every walk of life, so we must apply CBDC's to control w

So, let me get this straight. U.S. is worried Russia will use the pipeline that's supplying Europe with gas as a bargaining chip, and blackmail them. Threatening with higher prices, or switching it off. Which makes zero sense, why blow
