The input delay must be atrocious

The movements between Remy and the human were involuntary and instantaneous, I think we must assume they're all quantumly entangled.

Fun fact, there is almost a hundred percent chance that Demodex mites live on the skin of your head and face at this very moment.

The burrow into our follicles and live on the oils we excrete. They come out at night to mate. On our faces.

They are microscopic and mostly harmless though.

I've been dealing with dry eye and they've gone a little crazy on my eyes. My eye doctor actually had to give me eye drops to clear them up a bit

The little crusties you get when you sleep. Got so bad that I couldn't open my eyes in the morning

Since taking eye drops to clear out the demodex and doing a bunch of eye hygiene, I now have almost no crusties in the morning

Who knew demo jizz was so problematic

I found this fact particularly fun. thanks for sending me down a lil rabbit hole.

[–] msage@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Wrong hole, buddy

Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, and little fleas have lesser fleas, and so, ad infinitum

[–] SandmanXC@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

There's always a smaller flea

[–] pemptago@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

And the big fleas themselves, in turn, have bigger fleas to go on; While these again have bigger still, and bigger still, and so on.

There's a mini-Linguini controlling that amoeba.

You mean that it's string theory, all the way down?

Always has been meme.:-D

I appreciate this as a science meme because it reflects the recursive problem with homoculi.

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 weeks ago

It’s very nice to find someone else who is deeply concerned about the problem of recursive homunculi.

Why is no one else talking about this? Can’t they see the danger we are all in?
