I love how they jump to "energy" as the reason for not mixing wool and linen in the same cloth, when there's the perfectly valid reason of "Wool and linen have different care requirements and react differently to washing so blending the two is just making your own life way more difficult than it needs to be."

[@miglek9613]

Also, plant and animal based textiles are incredibly chemically incompatible and will basically destroy each other not only on the physical level due to friction and different reactions to moisture and heat but also the chemical level (altho that would take an entire lifetime of wearing) thanks to different pH levels (plant based fibers do best when they're slightly basic while wools and silk do best when acidic, pH around 5.5 for wool and I think around 4 for silk). The physics part also applies to mixing synthetic and natural or artificial fibers, although a lot of plastics also leech acids, which are highly destructive to all textiles

[@hopejohnson6347]

plus: it feels really weird. My aunt works for a high end clothing company and gave me some experimental industrial yarn that consisted of linen fibres interlaced with cashmere wool... and the cashmere fibres stick awkwardly out from the linen yarn. It gives the whole thing a slight halo like with most other goat- or yakhair yarn, while feeling like a potato sack. It obviously never got approved for use in the brand, because it was clogging up the knitting machines with cashmere fibres that came lose in clumps and got stuck frequently. I have an industrial spool with 2.2 kg of the stuff at home and don't know what on earth to make out of this yarn XD

[@SpringStarFangirl]

Exactly! They also have entirely different properties. Linen is a summer fabric, best at keeping you cool, while wool is a winter fabric, best at keeping you warm. Wool fulls when washed (creates a kind of felt-like fabric) while linen just gets softer. You would never want to blend them because it just makes no sense.

I had my mind blown on the abortion discussion (I think it was by mama doctor jones) who pointed out that it doesn't matter if you consider a foetus a regular human person, because no other human person is entitled to use someone else's body to survive. We don't mandate kidney/liver donations or even blood transfusions, even though they're usually survivable and people die from the lack of them all the time, including children. I'd never thought of it that way and it surprised me I'd never heard that angle before.

not agreeing/disagreeing, but infants and to an extent toddlers depend on another body to survive.

[@AosorarisuUnedited]

@@CoreyMarinoGames They aren't endangering someone to survive, if you don't take care of your born baby, it won't kill You. In fact, that is where prolife really falls apart because they are concerned about the baby getting born... but after that they don't care about its doomed life. Pregnancy is a sacrifice that might kill the mother but if nothing else it changes the mother at a chemical level. So, a good mother can be a true hero... but not everyone is in the place where they are able to be that hero yet and forcing it is just asking for more damaged people in the world born to parent(s) unready/unwilling. This prolife ideal is sacrificing good people for potentially against all odds better people.

[@eucatastrophie]

@@CoreyMarinoGames not really? They require care, sure, but not the physical body(parts) of another person (if you're talking about breastfeeding, formulas are a thing).

My grandfather was a rural pediatrician in the 40s Eventually move his practice to a psychiatric hospital where he treated pediatric patients I was able to gain access to some of his published papers, and some thing I found incredibly fascinating was a paper that he wrote, essentially saying there are a bunch of diseases that were very common in farm children that all had similar affects on these children that he noticed throughout the state that he lived . Because the condition cleared itself in several weeks, no one was doing anything about it, and he was hoping that in years to come people would find a diagnosis and actually treat the children instead of just ignoring their condition. Most people assumed that the children were faking it, or that the symptoms weren’t as serious as they were but essentially, my grandfather was able to put together that this was a serious illness that was affecting all of these children, and that more than likely adults have the immune system to fight it off where is children didn’t, and it was causing serious health concerns but no one would listen to him, but he just wanted to write a paper to let other doctors in the future understand how serious this condition was The interesting thing to me is that there are several other articles linked to my grandfather’s paper about an actual diagnosis Children absolutely were getting very sick with autism and all kinds of other things in the 20s 30s and 40s but most people just assumed children were exaggerating or they just beat them until children didn’t say anything My grandfather was the kind of doctor that always listens to the children and with charmed kids until they trusted him and was a fascinating and charismatic pediatrician I don’t have access to all of the things that he wrote but I do know that when he worked at the psychiatric ward, he had at least 15 autistic boys, and 12 autistic girls that he and my grandmother worked with on a daily basis My grandmother was a sociologists for children I don’t have a lot of access to her papers, but it seems she was working with transgender kids. One of the papers that I found essentially said that she wanted the kids to live whatever way made them happy so she removed the restrictions, forcing them to live, according to their birth gender. She changed the nursing staff, so that the nurses that were kind and affectionate were the only ones allowed to care for these children and encouraged female nurses to care for female identifying patients. She said it was important for their modesty The very end of her notation was that anyone who had a problem could deal with her personally Knowing my grandmother, that was absolutely a threat😅 Knowing my grandparents were working so hard all the way back then to change everything we know about children today … and how backwards things are right now makes me want to cry They worked so fucking hard to make life easier for children😢 My grandmother said to me once that no child should ever have to cry alone . She said in her old job she saw way too many children with broken hearts, too young to even express it and I don’t think I understood what she meant then. But as an adult, I realize how tirelessly she worked for children, and it crashes me how her work has been undone just in my lifetime .

Pardon me, I was super sick the past week (only just recently had the fever break) and. . .not entirely mentally present atm because of it, lol. I left this comment though because I thought it would still be an interesting read(?) Again, sorry. Lol @@Green24152 Ironically, "getting there" is the easy part. Don't get me wrong, it's heavily math-intensive. There's a reason why "It's not rocket science" is a thing. But when it comes to resources, very little is actually used once they get into orbit. Most of a rocket's resources is used just to get it _off the ground._ There's a reason why the space shuttle's first stage was 3-4 times bigger than the shuttle itself, and it didn't even leave Earth's orbit. Now look at an Apollo rocket and realize that all but the very *_VERY_* tip of it is just fuel. And that was just to get it to the Moon. Meanwhile the fuel needed to get it from the Moon back to Earth was _also_ all in the very tip of the rocket. Pictures/videos don't do it justice, you have to see one in person to realize just how much fuel is used just to get it off the ground. So when so much fuel is used for the first stage alone, that 10% _(Edit: the 10% refers to it increasing fuel needs by 10% if it lifted off in opposition to the Earth's rotation instead of in tandem)_ makes a *_huge_* difference. Which, in actuality, would equate to closer to 15% increase in fuel consumption due to the increased weight of the larger fuel tanks and extra fuel. The more fuel is added, the more fuel needs to be added.

Gayness is a personal preference, and after my examination it would appear that gayness is superior to straightness not that straightness is wrong. Opening a box with a box cutter is fine, there's nothing wrong with it - but using a well-made pocket knife would be sharper and can still be held in your hand easily and therefore would technically be a better option. But the box cutter is still valid. And just because that's the conclusion of my examination it does not mean that gayness is necessarily better, that's just how I interpret the data that I have gathered from the internet. But this is already off topic. Gayness is a preference, a orientational preference. This means that you have to have enough intelligence in order to consider one thing with another thing and then develop a preference because one is valued more highly. Therefore if you were supplied with the right wrong information or no information, or somehow were to acquire a proper mix of wrong and correct information- you should be able to use the computational power required to have a preference and apply it to vaccinations rather than orientation. However this is probably not what they meant going off of the information that I was able to answer and then process with my meat computers computational power as it is doing its thing in it's bone.

Just because I've encountered the Mixed Fabrics thing, here goes: The only mixed fabrics in that culture were used to make priest's robes. So the wearing of "mixed fabrics" can be interpreted as "priestly garb". So the crime was trying to pass yourself off as a priest and abusing that authority. BTW my polyester cotton blends don't vibrate. Too bad. That'd be fun with underwear.

[@SpringStarFangirl]

Okay, here's the thing. It was used for the high priest's belt, and the reason why is that that belt was highly embroidered and thus had a woolen backdrop with linen thread embroidery. It wasn't actually mixed in the first place. Also, mixing linen and wool is kind of a dumb idea- and that's the only thing the commandment prohibits. Other mixed fabrics are fine, just not linen and wool.

[@Horvath_Gabor]

​@Kathryn Elizabeth Honestly, it's more likely that it was a practical law enacted to stop frauds. It could've been that woolen clothes were very valuable among the herding Israelite tribes, while linen produced by nearby settled nations would be valued much less. So, some people would mix the wool and linen threads and try to sell the cheaper end product as the more valuable one. Because of this, the priests, who were the leaders of the Israelites, made a law about it. This caused the practice to stop, but since it was made by priests, it was encased in the Bible/Torah, and now, thousands of years later, some people with questionable common sense still adhere to it, because it's in their precious holy book, and nobody can question that, because something-something written by god and something-something hellfire and stuff.

[@MsSteelphoenix]

The whole 'mixed fabrics' thing was probably originally a practical concern, because it's extremely hard to launder fabrics with two types of fibre (e.g. wool weft and linen warp) so that there's no damage to the fabric. You know how your grandma (or maybe mum) will go absolutely nuts if you put coloured and whites in the same load, even though modern detergents usually mean it's fine? It's the same thing. This was a concern up until the 20th century, but is largely forgotten now.

[@ccaagg]

A lot of religious prescriptions are due to practical concerns. The dietary restrictions prescribed in Abrahamic religions are just ways to avoid disease: - No eating carnivores. An animal that eats other animals is far more likely to be diseased, since its prey can pass on any illness. - No pork. Pork is an extremely dangerous meat for humans, and the only reason the pork we can buy now isn't dangerous is because of modern agriculture and our ability to test for the pathogens and treat the meat to be safe (compliant with food standards) before it reaches the consumer. - Completely drain the blood of an animal you intend to eat. It's much less likely that you'll contract a bloodborne illness from eating an animal if you drastically reduce the amount of its blood that you're consuming. Obviously this isn't real evidence of divine creator, but instead a testament to just how much we were able to figure out from our combined anecdotal experiences without knowing the specific mechanism of _why_ disobeying these restrictions made you sick.

Survival of the reasonably adequate. Evolution is a very "meh" process. "You? Eh, I guess you can live. This time, anyway."

[@OrdinaryEXP]

The quote didn't even come from Darwin, it was from Herbert Spencer who was inspired by his book _On the Origin of Species_ . The word "the fittest" here means "the fittest to survive in the environment you inhabit"; for example, in a tidal pool where there are a lot of rock crevices, if you can hide in those crevices to avoid predators, then you would be the fittest animal in the tidal pool, even if you are not the fastest, strongest or biggest animal living there. As for the phase "elimination of the weakest", I don't know whether Darwin actually said or wrote that in his books (too lazy to move my ass to read one :| ); anyway, the word "weakest" here also has a different meaning than what we usually think of; using the previous example, by Darwin's definition of "weak" or "unfit", it would actually be the biggest animal that is the weakest, since it cannot hide in crevices to avoid predation.

Antivaxxers have existed for a long time, it is just the internet n stuff that is making them appear more apparent. The Covid Conspiracies likely did lead to a major uprise in antivaxxers, but there was also another very large uprise in antivaxxers back in 1998 when Andrew Wakefield made the article publication in The Lancet with the notorious claim that vaccines cause autism (primarily vaccines relating to mumps, measles, and rubella). Despite his previous blunder of a claim that the measles vaccine virus causes Crohns, the nature of the claim and the drumming up of drama and conspiracies and an easy "scientific" claim to latch onto led people to simply just accept the hypothesis as valid. This belief got reaffirmed when reports of samples containing measles virus came from autistic children, and so political leaders, organizations, and parents continued to push the claim. This claim would be disproven and retracted from The Lancet by 2005 that it was a mistake of research misconduct and false causality with B occurring after A on subjects who were sampled shortly before autism usually starts showing signs, and later tests found that samples taken from autistic children were not consistently greater in measles virus traces than samples from non-autistic children, and that despite more parents opting out of vaccines, autism was still drastically increasing. However the conspiratorial ideas already got implanted and accepted by many who refuse to relent with their beliefs. People will just continue to find new ways to villainize what they are rallying against with new claims in an effort to validate their beliefs, especially if they built their identity around it. The very nature of accepting that oneself is wrong is considered to be extremely difficult.

There are flood myths all over the world. Same for dragons, and we see giant lizard like skeletons all over the world.

[@Darealcyclic]

You look at a giant tooth or skull and tell me what animal that was without having knowledge beforehand

[@azarinevil]

@@Darealcyclic Except that Africa barely has any flood myths, and where there are flood myths.. just so happened to be known flood plains.

Love the logic of: lots of cultures have similar myths, therefore our version is the real one.

i am lactose intolerant and celiac and have a bunch of other allergies that almost killed me as a child. My dad, through me, realized he has many of these things and he passed them onto me but he just had to tough it out because his parents didnt care he was sick.

[@skootergirl22]

My dad is allergic to everything and of cause I inherited all of his allergies and almost died from them. My sister and mum are only allergic to insect stings and bites, but reasontly my sister found out she's lactose intolerant in her 30s I'm also in my 30s (I'm 34 she's 33 18 months apart in age)

[@asavagegarden]

@@skootergirl22 the only reason we found out my illnesses when i was born was because i almost died, because if i hadnt been that sick, i probably would've dismiss it too like my dad did

[@alexw.7097]

My Mom is the same way with her mental health stuff :/

[@Nevertoleave]

Every time someone goes, we didn’t use to have all these allergies/disorders/autism, I just think about how an old co-worker of mine had never had kiwis before and was given some to try and broke out in hives. How many people just died in the past and people were like, oh man, demons got him.

[@clockside]

@@Nevertoleave I found out I'm allergic to mangos when I was like, 18. I'd never had them before, nor had I ever previously experienced my throat closing up and making it harder to breathe. I carry Epipens around now, all because I decided for once in my life to try a new food. :P

In regards to the post saying "How can naturalists be anti-(forced naughties) if it’s a matter of 'survival of the fittest'?": Don’t most cases of survival of the fittest…result in the other sex consenting? Some animals evolve to become physically stronger to show that they can protect their partner and/or their children, Other animals evolved to be colourful to become conventionally more attractive to the potential partner, Some animals evolve more prominent traits, and appear to potential partners to have better genes for possible children. If "survival of the fittest" was literally just "Being big, powerful and aggressive results in getting to reproduce by forcing yourself on your potential partner", EVERY animal would end up big, powerful and aggressive. But that’s not the case. "Survival of the fittest" is only about strength when it comes to protecting children, and is mostly about traits unrelated to brute strength, like intelligence, certain genetic advantages, and even just being conventionally attractive. You want an argument as for why so,some can believe in "survival of the fittest", but think it’s important both sexes consent? Look at pretty much ANY species that uses tactics to appeal to mates besides brute strength, because, if brute strength was the "best way" to reproduce, there’d be NO NEED for those other tactics. At least, that’s my thought on the matter.

I love how he doesn't even seem to notice how much we can actually learn from his channel. Everytime he is picking these theorys and stupid people apart, he gives inside of his own thoughts and perceptions on things and explains it in ways that are really easy to understand, even for people that aren't that deeply invested in those supbjects. I learned so many things, from a deeper understanding of how the world and humans work, to how to solve math problems that I never understood while i was in school and suddenly, I know how to solve them and see the world from a different perspective, just because of one explanation from him.

"Boomers didn't have these mental health issues" ya, they had "r-words", alcoholics, and societal outcasts. This generation just treats people which these problems as actual people that deserve some respect, support, and help with life. As for the lgbtq community, we've always been here, we just are getting some of the respect we deserve and safe environments that we can be ourselves in.
