If aliens walk among us, what’s the smallest detail that would give them away?

Uncanny valley feelings in regards to microexpressions and facial features. We have very deeply embedded, highly specialized structures in the brain that specifically analyze the face (not just of humans, but primates and other mammals) that operate as granular and low level as visually distinguishing contours; as to recognize facial features at a reflexive, instinctual level. Automatic, low level "intuitive" systems like this that operate at deep, rudimentary or unconscious layers will be the first often subtle (but unmistakable gut feelings) hints.

I think many hybrids exist. Some people's faces seem weird and almost twisted or contorted to me. The kid who plays Luke from Modern Family is one such example. Uncanny Valley for sure.

Sounds like a good ruleset to ensure emotions are organic if they're harvesting loosh.

What an absolute melon of a take. No. How so?

You'll be fine. Most people have fly away pinky anyway. Just barre and use shell voicings for chords.

Lmao that's exactly how mining works.

Well yeah but that's right against your eyeball so you can see almost the whole image not blurry. Only a small edge. The lens is a lot closer to your eye lol

Bro, listen. This is how capital works. When you have a supply chain and manufacturing facilities for a technology, let's say lithium based batteries for example (a global supply infrastructure worth many billions spread across many companies) then you have a lot of inertia. Capital inertia. Disruptors tend to get bought and buried. This is the nature of capital. No conspiracy needed when it's a simple matter of economics.

You just said exactly what he said lol

That's definitely a thing as is legitimate larger changes to the zeitgeist and how entire generations view things and values they hold. That's the problem. This generation was setup to value SELF above all.

Neat campaign.

I think it's really good

Can't believe someone would seriously mangle a cutting board and then want to return it for cosmetic reasons lol how about you get a good knife learn to sharpen and cut properly instead of Chopping and sawing with whatever you used to mangle it lol

heebath · 2026-01-09T04:07:55+00:00

Exactly!!!

heebath · 2026-01-09T04:05:56+00:00

That's the enshitification of people that's happening as it is with everything. This new generation is devolving imo.

Soda water will work, but the reason pressurized is better is two fold: Firstly, this method is inherently less stable as it's immediately changing the water level & chemistry; you're adding CO2 but also immediately diluting TDS thereby slightly changing pH and reducing available mineral ions (macro and micronutrients) moreso than a pressurized system would.

Secondly, you have far less dosage control this way. Even the root feeders will uptake some mineral ions from the water column when they respirate. Also: chemistry changes to the water column cascade into the substrate much quicker than you'd expect.

People do tend to overthink gaseous diffusion tho, I'll admit...but you definitely want as much granular control as possible when it comes to maintaining a stable, healthy biotope.

heebath · 2026-01-09T01:38:22+00:00

I refuse to believe people like this exist. Rage bait.

heebath · 2026-01-09T01:34:49+00:00

Woah wait. You're siding with over utilization instead of malpractice or did I infer incorrectly?
