Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats&months=48 The monthly stats don’t look too bad to me. The yearly stats are meaningless.

I’m not sure if the centralization is worse than the large portion of users on the large servers who joining copies of established communities on their own instances. Also, from my other reply:

It would force you to write a more descriptive name. Maybe we want to hide by community title and not the handle though.

Say you want to have a community for memes. It is terrible UX if you just see seven different “memes@domainname.ending” in the result. So with an opinionated search, you instead name your community Sopuli Memes, Solarpunk Memes, Programming Memes etc., or just Funny Memes Archive, and they would not be hidden.

IMO, a more opionate search would fix this. Just recommend the most active community and show the others in gray.

There are oral rapid tests for drugs in my country that the police use

1. get each traffic cop one 2) there are similar devices for the rapid testing of drugs as well

No? This all sounds so weird to me. Breathalyzers exist.

Do some countries really use dumb tests like this to enforce DUI laws? What?

Sorry if this sounds rude, but based on your comments it seems that you’re just entering the early phase of the Dunning-Kruger curve on nutrition. Which means, you’ve started learning and are getting overly confident, despite not knowing that much in the grand scheme of things.

Don’t make big dietary changes because you just read something online. Don’t fall for fad diets. Don’t quit eating a large group of foods because they vaguely feel “unhealthy”. Learn about nutrition thoroughly, from reputable sources.

It’s good that you’re asking questions, though.

Never heard of this and cannot relate, maybe the better phrasing would be “why do I like the taste of ethanol so much”.

The European car numbers are so high that I’d guess the unit is the whole metropolitan area. Otherwise it sounds pretty bizarre that most cities would have car usage close to 75%

Irrational customer behavior is usually manufactured by well-funded marketing departments.

Mitä vittua

They don’t ”have to”, they know it’s not gonna fix anything. Strategically, it’s perfect though: it only increases instability and makes the economy worse, which in turn is just further going to fuel authoritarianism.

You might have had shitty experiences with some particular women, but generalizing that to other women is bad for both women in general and you.

For photography, maybe https://unsplash.com/ ? The site is commercial and many people upload stuff for self promotion reasons, but still, most photos are available for free and under a rather permissive licence

Downvoted for the use of ridiculous units

Parks and libraries are really nice. Most other third places seem to want you to spend money, that’s my experience here in northern Europe anyway.
