The longer one spends on Lemmy the more untreated mental illness one finds.

I don’t know for sure, but I believe it’s a context issue.
There’s nothing wrong with discussing the size and consistency of my bowel movements with my doctor, but it’s probably not OK for me to do that with a stranger on the bus.
A Great Filter is way, way bigger than that. Something that prevents a civilization from being able to expand into space. This includes things like “you can’t make fire on this planet and therefore are never able to learn to work metal” and “supernovas sterilize regions of space before species can leave them”.
Even the worst ecological disaster - one that kills billions - will not prevent humanity from eventually recovering, rebuilding, and expanding.
Under no circumstances (even Cold War mutually assured destruction) can human politics be a Great Filter. Thinking that it can be is small-minded and petty.
Case in point for Lemmy being a shit hole.
If by “paragraphs” you mean two sentences, sure.
If you’d bothered to read past those two sentences you’d see that I was making an offhand comment before answering the question.
I’d hardly describe it that way. It took untold trillions of predator/prey interactions over the hundreds of millions of years that single celled life existed for it to happen. That’s more or less brute forcing the problem and it took geologic timescales to happen.
If you ask me to point at a hurdle stopping civilizations from developing that looks awfully reasonable.
A - fucking - men
Boy, Lemmy sucks donkey dick. For every one legitimate answer there are two or three edgelord answers like “capitalism” and “the internet”.
Here’s an answer that hasn’t come up yet: cooperation among mono cellular organisms. I don’t mean the development of polyp analogues or colonies of single celled organisms; I mean getting down to mitochondria. Brace for wild oversimplification.
Before mitochondria, life had a hard time creating enough energy to do much more than barely stay alive. The current line of thinking is that one organism ate another and didn’t digest it. The two organisms worked symbiotically, one handled energy production and the other handled getting food and staying alive.
Just about every living thing utilizes mitochondria and if the current idea that mitochondria were actually symbiotic organisms is true, that means that what was likely a chance “sparing” of prey is the underpinning of all complex life.
The odds of that happening are ridiculously low. There could be simple life in tons of places even within our own star system, but if the mitochondria-like symbiotic capture never happens for those extraterrestrial organisms, then complex life is probably unlikely to develop.
Read like any history book.
Or just about any book, really.
No, no. I’m referring specifically to you.
Nobody likes a propagandist.
Less so when it’s low effort.
The man needs no introduction, only eyebrows.
Even then it’s not easy. They went through all the trouble of conceiving of a joke, drawing the and coloring the characters, and then they completely throw it all away by having the most difficult to read handwriting I’ve seen outside of a doctor’s office.
I’m not saying my handwriting is any better, but my work doesn’t hinge on legibility.
Holy bald-faced foreign propaganda, Batman!
No, they just saw the comic that this is plagiarizing.
Yeah, the guy’s team was writing “articles and blog posts promoting a tech company”.
Letting an LLM mangle that isn’t exactly a huge loss.
America bad, you see.
Therefore when America do good, is actually bad.
Did you wave goodbye to the handle as you flew off of it?
I’m just waiting for some dipshit to wander in here and talk about how we need to “examine the relationship” with food and start calling it something like “people fuel” or some other bullshit term.
And that slut’s name?
Albert Einstein.
