Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL about Willie Jones, who survived the highest human fever at 46.5 °C or 115.7 °F.
22·1 year agoLeft is in common sense units, right is in intelligence units. There is no “freedom” (to be ignorant) units though no.
Also sorry for the burn but it is a deserving burn at least.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that in the 1750s, doctors used tobacco enemas, believing they could cure various diseases. When the practice was debunked, the phrase “blowing smoke up your ass” was born.English

What’s True Tobacco enemas were a real and at one time popular medical practice thought to have been able to revive people who had drowned or were otherwise catastrophically ill. What’s False However, the phrase “blow smoke up your ass” appears to have its origins more recently, in the 1960s, and there is no evidence linking it to the long-ago practice of tobacco enemas.

World News@lemmy.world•Riot police on standby across England and Wales for further far-right protestsEnglish
1·1 year agoNo. If you read the thread this is in reference to people who attempt to tie their own race with religion. Eg Jewish people who believe an anti Zionist statement is anti Jewish or a criticism of parts of the Koran is somehow an attack on Arab people

World News@lemmy.world•Riot police on standby across England and Wales for further far-right protestsEnglish
112·1 year agoIt’s a lie. Just like being anti Zionist is racist. It’s not. Can happily critisize problematic teachings of religious doctrines while having zero problems with a person of that race who also disagrees with the doctrine.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Fiat doesn't work on a finite planet. Crypto has failed on its goals. What is a better way to be economically secure?
64·1 year agoI’m unsure of what a finite planet is referencing? Is op suggesting that economic limits are constrained to finite resources? This doesn’t take into account renewables, human creativity and a whole list of other things. If we create a matrix like environment where the limits can be expanded and create new products in that new environment we can still use fiat.

192·1 year agoI think it’s why he drifted right. He couldn’t handle being called out on his bullshit so he needed to find a group of people who wouldn’t question him
So why is this considered a crowdstrike issue and not a Microsoft fuckup?
