Are you looking for an inoffensive insult?

Is there going to be any push to put the fediverse logo up? Anti-Reddit stuff might be removed, but that has a better chance of sticking around.

Even ones that actively celebrate rape and murder? Even ones that will oppress women?

Does this even count as a 'progressive' movement if it institutes an intensely religious dictatorship?

That's the biggest barrier to peace then. The whole article's a waste of time without that bit.

Anyone know what Hamas says? Do they say they want peace between them and Israel?

It's possible that Lemmy in general is leftist because the people who came here wanted faster and more effective moderation against hate speech whereas more right wing people didn't have a particularly strong need or desire for moderation.

I've actually been thinking that AI poses a substantial enough existential risk that it probably should be called Abominable Intelligence.

The bot that can set reminders (though I don't know if it worked)

the one that tells you if your comment is in alphabetical order

The bot that ranked other bots

Wasn't there an xkcd-ass bot?

The tldr bots were awesome

Photons are an exception (at least, in as much as that they are a particle), and you can make new particls from energy, but definitely there's a limit to how old a particle can be. No particle is older than the universe (as far as the big bang is concerned).

That's a remarkably interesting link, thanks for sharing.

Sounds a lot like people.

That third bot sounds really cool honestly. Possible privacy concerns, but not necessarily.

My biggest complaint is (aside from it being really hard) is that you can't see both the clues and the answers at the same time on mobile.

Other than that, it seems pretty cool. If it works, that'd be awesome

Except the big bang is the start of both space and time, so nothing in the universe could be older than the universe because there's no time to speak of (not to mention the space for it to exist).

The moment after the big bang is called the Planck epoch. I just learned this from Wikipedia "In this stage, the characteristic scale length of the universe was the Planck length, 1.6×10−35 m, and consequently had a temperature of approximately 1032 degrees Celsius. Even the very concept of a particle breaks down in these conditions. A proper understanding of this period awaits the development of a theory of quantum gravity.". I don't really understand this, but it seems the early universe wasn't conducive to particles. Even if it was, they wouldn't be atoms. They'd just be quarks.

All of our physics breaks down at the singularity before the big bang, so assuming quarks that are around today existed then is just that, an assumption.

I know enough (thanks to everyone who kindly replied) to know that everyone in the world save for those directly involved in the court case can safely assume Trump wanted a loan when he a applied for a loan. Sure, it's an important step for the lawyers, but it's so obvious that it's only newsworthy if they couldn't establish it.

The article is a waste of time.

Of course? That's why he was talking the the lenders in the first place. He was trying to get a loan. If he intentionally falsified the information is another question, but of course he was trying to get a loan.
