Good bot!

Cool, lemmy try: @remindme@mstdn.social 1 hour

What is the syntax for summoning it?

Shorter too, which is always good for a community name. You win!

The booster is ~70 meters tall or ~230 feet.

The doctor says something in a stem tone

!keming@lemmy.world moment?

a man described in the medical literature who developed a growth the size of an orange. Yet because it grew very slowly, the man’s brain was able to adjust, shifting memories elsewhere, and his behavior and speech never seemed to change—even when the tumor was removed.

Wow, that’s wild.

Happy cake day!

At first one half of my thumb was entirely numb, and over the course of well over a decade I’d get pins & needles as bunches of nerves would finish regrowing, except attached to random channels in the nerve bundle, so my brain had to completely remap all those signals to what they actually meant.

It felt super weird because hot, cold, pain & touch were all mixed up, but eventually my brain sorted them out.

Wow, that’s fascinating. Thanks for sharing your story.

Allow me to introduce you to the concepts of “blind holes” and “through holes”…

Yes: !banpitbulls@lemmy.ca

Thank you for sharing. That sounds unfortunate for everyone involved, including the otter.

Yikes! Neurodegenerative diseases are no joke!

got told by an older boy I knew when I was just 8 and honestly that was not great

Yeah, that’s probably not the best way to find out.

there’s an age of innocence that needs respecting IMO

I’m not sure I necessarily agree. I had books like Visual Dictionary of the Human Body within reach since I was a toddler, so I don’t recall the ideas of “sex” or “where babies come from” ever being a big deal or a shocking revelation.

if you still believe in Santa

Funnily enough, I don’t think I ever believed in Santa either, so I guess your barometer checks out :)

Nobody is advocating telling young kids about sex.

Even if they were, I don’t think I would take issue with it. Sex is a natural part of life and society. I think prudish/taboo attitudes towards sex create more problems than they solve.

However I still maintain that kids should be treated as if they are as innocent as I was as a kid. I didn’t know what sex was until puberty, and thats the way it should be. Let them have a childhood.

What a weird take. I knew where babies came from long before I reached puberty, and this knowledge had no negative impact on my childhood whatsoever.

Hang on, are you saying that at Playalinda, one could watch a rocket launch and be naked at the same time?
