Myth rule
  • Fun fact: the actual death from crucifiction was suffocation. Once the victim loses the strength to hold themselves up, the slouch puts some sort of stress on their lungs. There was an instance of the Romans not breaking someone's legs (which suggests that maybe that was part of the practice) so they would suffer longer. I don't remember where that info came from, but I've been reading lots of books about the first 200 years of christianity for about 20 months.

    I'm an atheist, of course, just also a history nerd.

    One other side note: around 1999, I wanted to make a "student" film (I was barely a student) about the life and times of christ. He'd fuck up and raise Lazarus as a zombie in one of the scenes. Never made it.

  • 'BBL Smell' Is Real—and Just as Gross as It Sounds.
  • During a BBL, fat is liposuctioned from one area of the body and injected into the butt. If too much fat is packed into a single spot—more than blood vessels can support—it can die. That’s called fat necrosis, and it smells about as good as it sounds. “When there is more fat in an area than the blood supply allows, the fat will die through a smelly process,” Dr. Anderson told the Daily Mail. It’s a complication that can lead to infections, hospital stays, and in rare cases, sepsis.

    Imagine if you love going down on your partner and the smell of rotten flesh is a few inches away.

  • I continue to download all videos and watch them locally to skip out on ads. Some channels bake them right in the video, but a few quick mouse clicks jump me over that garbage. When downloads stop working, I will find something else to pass the time.

    Lawyers fined $6,000, while Lindell lost $2.3 million defamation verdict.

    > Lindell has said he plans to appeal the defamation verdict.

    This piece of shit will appeal all the way to our corrupt SCOTUS and get this nullified. I hate this timeline.

  • When I was a child, when another kid would scream in a public place, my father would always do two voices quietly to the rest of us:

    "Somebody smack that kid!" and "I'll do it!"

    My father is the reason my sense of humor is absurdist today.

    Learning about early christianity has been a lot of fun

    I rejected the christ story around age 8. I told my mother that it seemed like a fairy tale. She got pretty upset.

    I'm a history nerd, so maybe this won't apply to you. But learning about the early stages of christianity has been a lot of fun for nearly two years. Who'd have thought, right?

    If you enjoy reading and learning and you dislike the hold that religion has on society, you might enjoy learning about the earliest stages of the church. There's so much material. The starter that I'll recommend is The Passover Plot. I've become way more radical after this, but I think this might be a good bridge for readers who are beginning their exploration. Hope you enjoy!

    Someone is downloading my torrent of far-right (Patriot Front) shitheads who got exposed in 2022

    It's 400GB. I consider it my duty to perma-seed the data (as exposed by Unicorn Riot) to out nazis in the USA. I only find people downloading it on occassion, but it always makes me happy when it happens.

    My weekly meeting is taking the full hour

    I just wanna unmute my mic and ask, "Can we please be done?!"

    We're usually done in about five to ten minutes. I hate today.

    I know this isn't the typical content, but I checked the rules. I think this is allowed.

    Let me share it again, just in case you missed it

    I couldn't figure out how to upload the video without getting an error (I just woke up). Here's a link to someone else sharing it.

    > Thinking about the Out of Africa phase of human migration always interests me. One thing that must be considered, relative to this experiment, is that our ancestors wouldn’t initially have know that there was any land to reach at the end of their voyage. What drove them to paddle into nothingness (if this was an accurate representation of how they traveled)? Fascinating stuff.

    My 1h meeting only last 4m30s

    One person who is responsible for some of the stuff said they didn't have anything to discuss. The person who runs the meeting said the same. The meeting was called the shortest meeting we've ever had and I'm free to keep posting on Lemmy rather than having to listen half-heartedly in case anyone needed my input (they never do).

    How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2023) [trailer]

    I saw this in a theater when it came out. I recently recommended it to a friend who really enjoyed it. Something made me think of it this morning so I thought I'd promote it to people who probably never heard about it.
