JonEFive, to lemmyshitpost in Gorillas are actually very gentle unless provoked by overpriced footwear or long lines for cheap beverages

Gorilla. No doubt in my mind. It’s a hell of a lot easier to keep track of where one gorilla is compared to 5 black snakes.

One gorilla will probably ignore me as long as I keep my distance. Keeping distance and even putting a wall or 3 between you and the gorilla is trivial in a place as large as a mall.

On the other hand, snakes might mostly ignore me, but since I don’t know where the fuckers are, it’s a lot easier to accidentally startle or threaten one.

My new best friend friend Coco isn’t coming through pipes, air ducts, holes in walls, etc. Big strong boi isn’t hiding in the corner of a closet waiting to bite me as I reach in to grab a snack.

I’d go to the food court, put out a cornucopia of food, make sure the gorilla sees me leave it there for them, bow respectfully and slink away, then spend the rest of the 24 hours clear on the opposite side of the mall.

This all assumes that the gorilla isn’t enraged for any particular reason or starving. But even if so, I think gorilla is the safer answer, just the evasion technique changes.

I don’t think a gorilla would be chill while stuck in a mall

Are the snakes hungry? You can be on an open space, or a strtegically closed one to keep away from the snakes.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I don’t think a gorilla would be chill while stuck in a mall

We don’t know that.

Where’s the myth busters for this?

ever notice how this is getting rare?

we used to get a rain of bugs when travelling by car at night on back roads.

ramirezmike,

remember how white vehicles were always covered with dead bugs? and how people used to put nets on their front bumper?

Improved car aerodynamics I guess

Moreso the bug apocalypse.

PatMustard,

Yeah that does seem more likely

@M137@lemmy.world avatar

You say that like you think everyone has newer cars. It’s absolutely not about that. It’s our destruction of the climate, which has killed off the majority of insects.

Zoboomafoo,

That was my first thought as well, it seems to be borh

PatMustard,

I did a quick search after the other replies came in, scientific consensus seems to be "more research required to be scientific about it, but looks like there are way less bugs about’

Gerudo,

There are scientists who actually study bug strikes on vehicles. They use it to measure insect decline, and if you’re wondering, it’s massive. I think one article I read had it as high as 40% over the last 20 years in some areas.

M137,
@M137@lemmy.world avatar

Not just back roads, it used to be almost everywhere. Even riding your bike you often had bugs smash into your face. It’s really eerie now that it’s not a thing anymore.

15 years ago i couldn’t go for a run without getting a bunch of cluster flies in my teeth and eyes. now, i hardly see them anymore. and not just because i don’t run as often.

Johanno,

Insects are dying. Especially close to cities. Cars are to blame, but probably even more the human impact on nature, destroying the natural living space.

coffeebiscuit,

No, it’s climate change and pesticide. (Also cars but not the biggest factor).

problematicPanther,
@problematicPanther@lemmy.world avatar

it’s like saying that sport fishermen are to blame for declining fish population. They aren’t technically wrong. but they aren’t right either.

umbrella,
@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

i tought overfishing was the biggest problem. whats actually killing the fish? pollution?

Randomocity,

Commercial fishing, pollution, and climate change I believe

problematicPanther,
@problematicPanther@lemmy.world avatar

It’s fishing, just not sport fishing. It’s like saying that NASCAR is responsible for pollution. Yeah, not technically wrong, but a drop in the bucket comparatively.

It’s the same with birds.

Is it a newly acquired x-ray scanner, by any chance?

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy, to lemmyshitpost in 7 day cleanse or pregnancy cravings

my sister said she craved bleach for her second pregnancy.

she abstained of course but the craving was there

saruwatarikooji,

Pregnant woman are supposed to report cravings like that to their doctor… Apparently it can be a symptom of a serious problem.

LemmyKnowsBest,

I craved spaghetti during my first pregnancy. Am I gonna be okay?

My second and third pregnancies, I craved nothing in particular. Am I gonna be ok?

HerbalGamer,

I think they meant like, non-food, dangerous substances.

LemmyKnowsBest,

Dangit, I was hoping to be added to some bizarre statistic of people with raging spaghetti cravings.

Toes,

🍕 it’s like pasta but better

saruwatarikooji,

Yeah, it’s just nonfood things. The main one that it manifests as is clay.

9point6,

Hmm, I think the condition gets newlined and you K&R on the closing parenthesis IMO:


<span style="color:#323232;">while (
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    isSomething 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    &amp;&amp; isSomethingElse
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    &amp;&amp; nFoo &lt; 10
</span><span style="color:#323232;">) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    blah();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    blah();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

You could also keep isSomething on the first line too, but I think it’s nice to keep the whole multiline condition at the same indent width

This is the way.

10/10 title

The Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment about whether if it is an object, after having had all its original components replaced, remains the same thing.

poppy,

I’m currently reading a book called The Wager and I’m learning a lot about ships. Apparently like even your average ship was basically rebuilt each year because they just fell apart constantly. So I guess like all ships are Ships of Theseus.
