This is the future we deserve. Everyone wears a ball gown, everyone can fuck anyone who's down. Transhumanist mushroom future is the future we need.

Sign me up for this genre of solarpunk.

Oh, I do know him. Just didn't make the connection. Which was dumb of me. Lol.

Imagine the size of their fucking flag.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 32 points 10 months ago

That's the glorious thing about the rainbow. It contains all (visible) colors. (Obviously the pride flag is limited to stripes of distinct colors, but it's supposed to be representative of everything.)

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 10 points 10 months ago

I guess the flag could be made into a gradient, that would show more of all the possible distinct colours, but that may be impractical to make into actual flags.

[-] teruma@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

New pride flag is just the rectangular color selector

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago

What about magenta though?

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

What about Cyan? Kefka killed his family ffs

[-] peanutdust@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Seems a bit shortsighted and bigoted to only include visible colors considering I identify as an xray.

[-] TalkingCat@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

Oh it is there but we can't see it

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Infrared checking in.

Just go to any other country. Many countries and cultures historically have a third gender, so bounce around a little and you'll realize how illogical and weird the puritanicals in the states are.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Really? As long as you're not talking about grammatical gender, that's news to me and very interesting. Examples?

Edit: Thanks for both links! I'll read through it later.

A culture recognizing a third gender does not in itself mean that they were valued by that culture, and often is the result of explicit devaluation of women in that culture.[11]

You seemed to be presenting this as a way of scoring those cultures above others, so I thought it would be pertinent to point out this quote.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Wasn't me, but like most things in life, nothing is black and white. For what it's worth, often means that it's simply common, not necessarily an implied majority.

[-] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 20 points 10 months ago

How do they differentiate these mating types and what separate things do they contribute to the life cycle?

[-] idiomaddict@feddit.de 33 points 10 months ago

From the Wikipedia page:

It has 23,328 distinct mating types. Individuals of any mating type are compatible for mating with most other mating types. There are two genetic loci determining the mating type, locus A with 288 alleles and locus B with 81 alleles. A pair of fungi will only be fertile if they have different A and different B alleles; that is, each mating type can enter fertile pairings with 22,960 others.

and it's a commune!? sign me up!

Progressive open minded mycologist: "Which of the 23,328 sexes are you?"
Me: "Stop trying to put me in a box!!!" ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Real Douglas Adams vibe off this.

I read "how can I score an invite to these panties" lmao

[-] FleetingTit@feddit.de 5 points 10 months ago

And when you fill out a form you get a phonebook full of options to choose from. As a human at least you don't have to specifically define yourself, if you get the option "other".

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Real life cognito hazard?

[-] zepheriths@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Pecan trees are effectivly similar. In order to have pecans you have to have 2 tree that are ready at the same time of the year. Otherwise you get no pecans

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Well, that's one way to enable autogamy; not having both sexes but having thousands of sexes.

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

I imagine it is awesome for genetic diversity too
