I don’t really trust myself with guns tbh. Not in a “might decide to use them inappropriately” sort of way, but whenever I’ve fired them before, it’s gotten my anxiety issues to spike in a way that only a couple other things do worse, and my ability to think clearly and actually aim at anything has been serious impaired. It does depend on the type of gun a bit, shotguns trigger it the worst ive found thus far for example and very small-caliber bolt action rifles the least, but anything actually reliably useful if you were in a fight is likely to be towards the worse end of it and even the milder ones are stressful enough to use that realistically if I bought one, it’d get used for target shooting maybe twice and end up forgotten in a gun locker as bait for thieves or something.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You can eat ONE inedible thing of your choice. What's for dinner?
8·2 days agoIm not sure that’d count, as while there are social and legal repercussions and a higher risk of a few diseases, human meat, billionaire or not, isnt inheritly toxic or such, and does contain nutritional value.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do we have alcohol advertisements. We don't allow cigarettes to advertise
3·2 days agoIf you wanted to make it possible to opt out of certain categories of ads (like alcohol) on personal devices/computers, without having to tell the advertiser that you’re an alcoholic or similar, perhaps a law could mandate that ads made for those products or brands associated with them be tagged as such in some way, and that software that displays ads should have a setting to not display ones that arrive with that tag? That way the setting only needs to be client side. I mean ideally you’d just not have ads at all but that’s a much bigger and more difficult fight than just alcohol obviously.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your preferred banana ripeness?
7·8 days agoA decent amount of green, there’s like a one or two day window where it’s possible to peel them normally without the peel snapping, but where there’s still a little bit of the underripe sourness to them
No hope to avoid/treat what exactly? Like I get the joke is that the image is strange and implied to be strange enough to imply some kind of untreatable mental issue, but I cant figure out what issue thats supposed to be implied to be.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some foods that LOOK awful but TASTE great?
7·11 days agoFor the second category: dragonfruit looks amazing, but tastes like you took sugar-water for a hummingbird and solidified it. Basically no flavor apart from mild sweetness, unless I got a dud or something
People post this expecting it will make death more comfortable, but all it does is make contemplating the past less so.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most transgressive art you enjoy?
3·18 days agoIt really depends actually. It certainly can be those things and often is, it can also be a strange comfort thing (it often doesn’t follow biology much at all, so it needn’t be realistically harmful and sometimes gets treated as like very unconventional hugs), or just a power fantasy if done from the predator’s perspective

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most transgressive art you enjoy?
4·18 days agoDoes niche fetish stuff that isnt exactly designed to offend but which would seem scary or disturbing to most people who’s brains don’t happen to be wired to enjoy it count as transgressive? If so, (a subset of) vore art
Are psychedelics really this popular, or is lemmy just full of people that like them? I had assumed they were a rather niche thing, but the sentiment towards them here today (and not just this post either) seems notably positive, though the descriptions people give sound existentially horrifying to me. Then again, I get anxious enough towards drugs that Ive not even tried alcohol let alone anything less common, so maybe I’m just the weirdo here.
Ive never had a password continue to not work after doing this, personally, so I must not’ve encountered that reason

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Best or Worst case scenario how do you see the Lugi Mangionne case playing out? What do you think about him now being a millionare ?
22·25 days agoI highly doubt a dem president would commute his sentence if he’s found guilty, for one thing, anyone with the resources to mount a successful presidential campaign, dem or otherwise, is almost certainly going to be wealthy enough to personally sympathize more with CEOs than with people that cant get healthcare. Consider how panicked some of the CEOs and their ilk supposedly got right after the shooting, and consider that thats exactly the kind of person that a dem president, or at the very least their friends and associates, would likely be.
When that happens I usually just exit the password reset page without entering a new one and then log in again with the old
You may be thinking of monitors. They’re also a group of large lizards, some of which live on Pacific islands (such as the famous komodo dragon)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the probability that the atoms that I am made of once formed someone's penis?
3·1 month agoIn regards to the second part, I’d point out that earth isnt a closed system, and small amounts of new matter are constantly ending up on earth. Think things like meteors (if i remember correctly, a few dozen tons of them fall on earth daily) the very thin traces of gas in space (it’s not a actually a perfect vacuum) and certain types of cosmic radiation that happen to consist of atoms. As such, I’d imagine it’s unlikely we’d ever get every atom on earth having once been part of one.

Iapetus and Io. Iapetus just looks pretty, with it’s two tone color and equatorial ridge, and Io is a volcano dominated world in a way that seems unique in the solar system if we exclude cryovolcanism, maybe earth comes the closest but it’s not nearly the same.
