Points for zombies:

The isolation and dread caused by the entire world turning into flesh hungry monsters, including family and friends

The body horror of being bit and inevitably losing control of your mind and having your body decay (also you can perhaps hide your infection from the rest of the group?)

There are always more, they never stop. Basically turning human persistance hunting against ourselves

Also they just make a good excuse for an apocalypse, with humanoid things to shoot

So you’re saying that corpses make copses?

Not a useful skill, but you could try speedcubing

You can't use mastodon from Lemmy, but you can from some threadiverse software like Kbin.

There's a huge difference between kids playing with toys or coloring books and watching tiktok on their iPads. Not even remotely the same, and it's concerning that so many perents don't seem to understand that.

First of all, it's perfectly viable to just not eat meat. Tons of people don't eat meat and are perfectly healthy.

If you need meat replacements, (which is for taste, let's be clear) there are a TON of good substitutes, for example Beyond.

Also to your previous point, food waste is a big problem, but thermodynamically, meat IS food waste. Only a fraction of the energy of animal feed is present in the meat, which is super resource intensive and environmentally terrible (not to mention all the methane produced)

So what?? Why do chromosomes matter at all? Gender ≠ sex. Anyone is allowed to identify however they want, and it literally hurts nobody.

However, trans people do actually have brain structures that mismatch their assigned sex at birth. Also, most differences of sex are just caused by hormones, so HRT really does meaningfully change someone's sex.
You should also know that human biology is not so clean cut. Intersex people exist, and for example there are people born female with a Y chromosome.

Realistically, that would mean nationalizing all of SpaceX. (Which I would support, although that's definitely not going to happen)

I see where you're coming from, but there kinda is, as anyone who has experienced gender dysphoria can tell you.

HRT really does alter biological sex in a meaningful way, and I think a lot of people view medical transition as making the body fit the mind better.

If the many worlds interpretation is correct, that would mean that there's not really an infinite number of discrete realities, but more of a continuum. So there are infinite other realities in the same way that there are infinite points on a line, but this exact reality is still unique.

I looked it up, and the region of Jupiter's atmosphere at 1 bar is -100C. So you theoretically you could fly a modified Earth plane, it would just be a bit chilly.

Interestingly, though, Venus does have a zone with Earth-like temperature and pressure.

Then a plug in hybrid or elecric car with range extender motor makes more sense. I think it's pretty dumb to be carrying around expensive, heavy batteries everywhere you go that only get used fully twice a year.
