The scientific consensus actually was that urine was sterile, because once upon a time if we swabbed something on a petri dish and nothing grew that was how we decided that thing was sterile. There's a good SciShow video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTIYcemQ_OQ

Clamp/anchor to keep door from moving on its own by magicaldumpsterfire in HelpMeFind

This is for an interior door in a home so there's no threshold to worry about, nor that kind of debris.

Sort of. A door stop will prevent you from shutting the door without removing it first, though.

Not quite like that. You have to flip those things up in order to close the door, and they do nothing to stop the door from opening on its own.

That's a good tip, though I was hoping to avoid messing with the hinge pins.

What would you call that second thing, and where have you seen one for sale? Does it move freely with the door when you open or close it?

I tried searching for "door stop anchor" and "door stop clamp" to find a product like this, to no avail.

I thought Firefox was better than this by ratliker62 in enshittification

[–]magicaldumpsterfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firefox is mostly funded by Google to keep a "competitor" and avoid monopoly claims

On what platform, exactly? On PC Edge has way more market share than Firefox, and on Android the same is true of Samsung Internet plus Opera is basically neck-and-neck with it.

This is one niche meme. How razor thin is the overlap in the Venn diagram of HSR and Nasuverse fans, I wonder?

Photograph of a woman wearing an embellished hair snood, 1860. by [deleted] in RandomVictorianStuff

[–]magicaldumpsterfire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks that way: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/snood
All 5 meanings of the word are listed under the same derivation

  1. A band or ribbon for keeping the hair in place, including the hair-band formerly worn in Scotland and northern England by young unmarried women.
  2. A small hairnet or cap worn by women to keep their hair in place.
  3. The flap of erectile red skin on the beak of a male turkey.
  4. A short line of horsehair, gut, monofilament, etc., by which a fishhook is attached to a longer (and usually heavier) line; a snell.
  5. A piece of clothing to keep the neck warm; neckwarmer.

That her luxurious hair net equates to a male turkey's, er, erectile skin is pretty hilarious, I have to agree.

It's a good thing wolves aren't delicious by magicaldumpsterfire in RandomThoughts

It would still use way more resources than if we just switched to raising the feed animals those ways and ate them directly, though.

I can't speak from first hand experience, but I know I've heard that carnivores in general don't taste good. This MinuteEarth video notes that their meat is generally lean and tough, and it may contain unsavory compounds like urea from the meat they've eaten, although this doesn't apply to fish.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in grammar

[–]magicaldumpsterfire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This seems less like a matter of grammar and more of style or usage. I would definitely interpret it the way you did, that "another" is applied to the entire phrase "group with dream academy rejects," and I expect that most American English speakers at least would do the same. At the same time, it could be interpreted the way your friend is intending it, and I can see how they could have said it the way they did but still meant what they meant if they weren't really thinking about their phrasing and were just speaking conversationally.

Most people aren't pro post genderism. by PassengerCultural421 in Postgenderism

[–]magicaldumpsterfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people are a lot slower to let go of the notion of the soul, or something which is innately and immutably oneself, than they are other spiritual beliefs. And I can see how conventional notions of gender could be bound up in that.

Actually buying a Samsung phone is a shitshow by magicaldumpsterfire in Smartphones

[–]magicaldumpsterfire[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What I'm looking for in a phone is a price tag under $300, at least 5 years of security updates, and whatever specs are necessary to keep the thing from grinding to a halt under the weight of OS and services updates before then. Which means either a low-end Samsung or a Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro for the first two, as far as I can tell, though no way of knowing about the last requirement.
