Technology@lemmy.world•Male birth control breakthrough safely switches off fit sperm for a whileEnglish
9314·2 years agoFriendly reminder of the core problem: medical treatments are all balanced against the risk of what it counteracts.
Undergoing physical and chemical changes to grow another creature inside you and have it damage everything on the way out is pretty risky. Female birth control only has to be less risky than that.
A male has zero physiological risk from impregnating someone. Therefore, anything except a miracle drug with high efficacy and almost zero side effects is going to stall at the trial stage.
On another note, that speaks to how safe and effective vasectomies are.
This is a censored version. There was actually an impolite intersection uttered suggesting that something occur “sideways,” from which a troubling tradition has merged: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_insemination?wprov=sfla1

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do people say "Catholics and Christians" in (USA) when Catholics are also Christians, as if they refer to it as a different religion.
13·2 years agoI was raised evangelical protestant in the USA, at some point attending both Seventh-day Adventist and Pentacostal churches. My mother did not consider my Catholic grandparents to be Christians, based on her belief that one cannot be saved by confession/prayer to a saint or clergy instead of directly to Christ. As many other have said, this is not the mainstream definition.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What super power would be impractical in real life?
6·2 years agoThe Animorphs series explores this quite well. It’s not actually painful for them, but should be and is plenty disturbing.

Since you have LAN parties in mind, be sure to check this list to know what games are (or are not) well supported by Proton under Linux.
Proton is the compatibility layer that allows Seam games developed for Windows to run under Linux. Some games, unfortunately, may have problems that cause you to be left out.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some small or mundane things that illicit strong feelings of nostalgia within you?
17·2 years agoI grew up next to a stop sign in a tiny town straddling a one-lane road that by some joke of fate was the the most efficient automobile route between two points of much greater interest.
To me, the sound of a big diesel engine idling at a stop is the sound of a peaceful winter night with my bedroom window open.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Cool experiments to do with milk teeth?
37·2 years agoYou know how this goes, right?
The resulting thirst for scientific knowledge results in unparalleled technological advancement, but also an endless demand deciduous teeth for further experimentation. Eventually their personally-developed, secretly manufactured and deployed microdrone monitoring network alerts them every time any child loses a tooth in the Western world. Slightly larger drones sneak into the home and collect the tooth. In an attempt to avoid further pressing of ethical boundaries, the drones are equipped to carry in small amounts of currency that are left in place of the tooth. Your family, more literally and on a larger scale than any family before, DOES the tooth fairy 🧚 stuff.
It’s probably Emacs, but I’m a Neovim user, so I’m going to go with that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some small minor things that annoy you in movies ?

Technology@lemmy.world•Netflix to open branded retail stores for some reasonEnglish
3·2 years agoI went to the Stranger Things popup in Vegas. Not gonna lie, I had a good time. It was like an amusement park exhibit with the classic gift shop at the end, but the prices didn’t seem inflated. If I was interested in buying merch, I’d rather go to to one of these than just order it online. I’m not saying it will be successful, but I don’t hate them for trying it.
And, yes, they did sell DVD boxed sets.


This is why we can’t have nice things like dependable protection from fall damage while riding a boat in Minecraft.
