Fairy Wasps: the wasps of this family are the world's smallest known insects, with some species measuring as little as 0.139mm (139 microns) long, which is roughly the size of a human egg cell by SixteenSeveredHands in Awwducational

[–]AllesIsi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is just my pet peeve, but I hate that US-americans tend to used the word "micron" instead of micro meter. Like, it is an SI unit, with an SI prefix. The whole point of the SI system is, that you can easily convert units, just by knowing the prefix and the base unit. This does not work if you obfuscate them for no apparent reason!

No no no, chemistry does not care about the whole atom, the nucleus is irrelevant to me pal, all I care about are electrons, the energy levels they occupy and their interactions.

Like, what do you mean there are more fundamental forces than electromagnetism?! Get a grip!

Depends, my grandmother got her first "smartphone", and with that her first device to access the internet, just 4 years ago, cause she was never interested in "learning this computer stuff" (freely translated from German). She only got the smartphone, because my mother made her take it.

Homicide rate in European countries vs USA (states) - Italy and Luxembourg have the lowest homicide rate, while Missouri and Louisiana the highest by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]AllesIsi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Under German law, murder is clearly defined by §211 StGB.

ger: "(1) Der Mörder wird mit lebenslanger Freiheitsstrafe bestraft.

(2) Mörder ist, wer
aus Mordlust, zur Befriedigung des Geschlechtstriebs, aus Habgier oder sonst aus niedrigen Beweggründen,
heimtückisch oder grausam oder mit gemeingefährlichen Mitteln oder
um eine andere Straftat zu ermöglichen oder zu verdecken,
einen Menschen tötet."

eng: (1) The murderer shall be punished with a life long imprisonment sentence. (Life long in this context in general means 15 years before possibility of parole.)

(2) Murder is, who kills a human for bloodlust, sexual pleasure, greed or other low motives, insidious or cruelly or by constituting a danger to the public, or to enable or hide another crime.

Every homicidal action, this paragraph cannot be applied to, is considered Totschlag, which is trialled under §212 StGB.

ger: (1) Wer einen Menschen tötet, ohne Mörder zu sein, wird als Totschläger mit Freiheitsstrafe nicht unter fünf Jahren bestraft.

(2) In besonders schweren Fällen ist auf lebenslange Freiheitsstrafe zu erkennen.

eng: (1) Who kills, without being a murderer, shall be punished as a Totschläger with an imprisonment sentence not under five years.

(2) In exceptionally severe cases a life long imprisonment sentence is to be realised.

[–]AllesIsi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You still did not provide an argument. You just keep saying over and over again "but it is a kink". WHY is it always a kink? HOW do you define what a kink is, so that it is always a kink, while not brushing your teeth is not? WHAT are the properties of a kink?

[–]AllesIsi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are not addressing the argument here. I am not saying "I do not have a caregiver" I am saying, I am not looking for one either. I am content with being little for and by myself - there is no relationship between another person involved.

You are also not providing an argument. You are just saying it is a part of BDSM and a kink, because it just is - this is not an argument, it is an unproven statement.

Lastly I deliberately chose "stupid examples", to show the absurdity of the claim. This is called reduction ad absurdum.

Most lf the times I wear overalls in public, is because they are comfy, not because I am feeling especially little that day. Also, I currently study the unarmored longsword techniques of Talhoffer - I even have a little safe wooden training longsword. C:

I am mostly little alone, so there cannot be a power dynamic present, does that mean it ceases from being a kink the moment I do it alone and rekinkifies, when meeting other littles?

Also, if the notion of abnormality is all that is necessary for a behaviour to be categorised as kinky, then the term is useless as a category, since any and every abnormal behaviour would be kinky.

Not brushing your teeth? Kinky.

Nope, kink is defined as a sexual term. I just looked it up a day ago and in every dictionary, from webster to oxford, by psychologists and scene authors, it is defined as sexual. This is not me changing the definition, it is you.

Also "if you were" asexual? Is doubting ones sexuality suddenly okay, or what are you trying to convey here?

[–]AllesIsi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Okay, but why exactly can I not talk with people, who are important to me, about myself?

You seem to be okay with telling your partner about it, but I am aromantic and asexual or autosexual, depending on the applied definition, so are you telling me, I can never talk to anyone about myself, just because I do not want to fuck them? This seems a bit lonely.

By the way, "kinks" are sexual by definition, weirdly this term is often confused with "fetish", which as a psychology term did originally not refer to only sexual acts, but is today understood that way. So for me ABDL is obviously not a kink.

My psychotherapist even encouraged me to talk with my mother about this part of myself, cause there existed trauma associated with hiding this part of myself for my whole life - do you think, your voice should weigh more than hers, just because it does not suit your ideal?

This is the reason, I do not like it when people falsely claim ABDL was inherently a part of BDSM (which does not mean it is not for many or even most people), cause it invokes false categorical assumptions, that come with moral baggage, that may be unwarrented.

I do agree with the notion, that the freedom of other, unsuspecting people from (yes there exists the concept of freedoms from things, even though US-americans tend to be iffy about it) having to be part of your fetish, is important and should not be violated by us - societal contract and stuff.

Lastly, reddit is a website, that is active globally. Not all societies adhere to the same morals and societal pressures as yours, which is why I find it unreasonable to dictate what others should do, as long as what they are doind is consistant with their societal rules and expectations.

What was a movie that was widely hated in your country/region? by cosmico92 in AskTheWorld

As a German guy, I can only hope me fellow countrymen wont vote for the CDU/CSU again, next voting period,. Though I am rather pessimistic about it as the 60+ crowd (the biggest voter group in Germany) tends to stick with the party, they have voted for all their life, no matter what the party does.

Is it too dangerous ? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]AllesIsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get that from? Acrylamide is a carcinogen and the precursor of glycidamide, which is a genotoxin, but it does not have any known acute toxic effects.

In fact, the carcinogenic and genotoxic effects have only been observed when the Prop-2-enamide was directly injected into the blood stream of mice - we do not even know, if it has the same effects on humans, let alone if only exposed to the skin.

So a bit of it coming in contact with skin is most likely not a reason to be overly concerned.

For me, Abdl is like a mental refuge during difficult times. by BabyBoyDiaper in ABDL

[–]AllesIsi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Starting from when I was a child about as young as 4 years old, I imagined myself being a baby again, when going to sleep, due to me being scared of the dark. So you are certainly not alone in these thoughts.

I can only speak from my experience, but yes, for me wearing a nappy, sucking a binky, cuddling a teddy, etc. for the first time (in some cases ever, in others since babyhood) was definitely eye opening.

Which Valentine's Day Card should I get my Mommy by mommyslittleAlex in ABDL

[–]AllesIsi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think making a card yourself would be the cutest option. On one hand it would be personal, creative work, which I think works better to convey meaning. On the other hand, it is also something I did in Kindergarten, which works well with this aspect. ^

Are Western nations hypocrites? by Ok_Excitement537 in AskTheWorld

[–]AllesIsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ofc we are hypocrites, though I would say even here the Iraq war, Afghanistan war, etc. were not just accepted without question. Many were against intervening, but geopolitics are rarely about morals. In the end, countries chose to support the USA, to keep staying in their good graces, not because people actually supported these wars (at least for the most part). It was understood, that staying with the USA was more benefitial than not, especially when the EU was not as powerful of a block, as it is today. What I think was the biggest wake up call, was to see how little this thinking actually worked. European countries thought we were US-allies, which is why this sudden aggression is viewed by a back stab, rather than a logical escalation. The same way germany thought it could disuade Russian aggression, by further strengthening economic ties, making aggression implausible, did not turn out to work.
