This is an exaggeration.

The universe's radius is around 46.5 billion light years (around 4.4 * 10^26 meters), the error introduced of using 15 decimals of pi is around the order of 10^-16. Thus the error of calculating the circumference would be in the order of

8.8*10^26 * 10^-16 = 8.8*10^10 meters

Doesn't have the famous

ln(640320³ + 744)/√163

for some reason. Accurate to 14 decimal places I believe which is more accurate than what you need for 99.9% of its applications.

I took speed once with a friend and he was completely off the rails, I didn't feel anything. Is that a bad sign?

Nah, I'm just gonna do what I'm doing. Commenting on stuff I like or am interested in and that's it. I'm way too anti-social to do something like building a community.

Nazism is fascism, corporations and the wealthy LOVE fascism because that means they get more power and less regulation. Remember what Benito Mussolini, the founding father of modern fascism and all around shitbag, said about it:

Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.

Royal jelly for queens is stored in special compartments that are constructed specifically to rear a new queen and they drop the larvae in there. Wikipedia has a pic.

Other insects mostly. Technically also birds, but birds are too quick and too strong so the fight is usually over before the bee can sting.

Bees don't die when they sting. They have a barbed stinger, human skin is elastic and that's why they get stuck. Our first reaction is to swat or swipe on the site of stinging which rips their stinger off by force. If you leave the bee alone, it will wiggle and twirl around, trying to get itself unstuck and sometimes that is successful, sometimes they're fucked. The bee didn't really commit suicide when stinging, you killed it.

Also, did you know that the queen bee has almost full control over their offspring? It works like this: The queen bee only mates once in her life during the nuptial flight and stores the sperm in her spermatheca (like a sperm sac), the drone usually dies in the process because mating tears their endophallus off and the trauma kills him. After founding a colony the queen can now choose whether to fertilize her eggs or not and if she does, a female larva will hatch from the fertilized egg, else a drone larva will hatch through a process called haploid parthenogenesis.

The destiny of becoming a queen or a worker depends entirely on the diet the female larva is fed: all larvae are fed royal jelly (a special secretion from worker bees) for a few days and then worker bees are switched to what is called bee bread which is a mix of pollen and nectar while future queens stay on the royal jelly diet. The royal jelly lets the bees develop their ovaries, making them capable of laying eggs. Technically, all worker bees can lay eggs (which could only produce drones), but in a healthy colony, they will be switched off the royal jelly soon enough so that this rarely occurs.

So, in a way, worker bees can stage a mutiny if they are unhappy with their current queen by feeding a larva royal jelly, rearing a new queen.

Bees are awesome.

I started with French as a second language as well (Saarland reportiert ein). My French is terrible, I never really tried. English on the other hand was useful for playing vidya.

We had plenty of bullying, but you are correct about the rest.

Debatable.

There are a total of 0 records and the whole thing has been reconstructed by comparing similarities among existing languages. PIE likely never existed as a language, neither spoken nor written.

 

This community, under the guise of Christianity and discussion thereof, is just a place filled with conspiracy theories and hatred.

Exhibit 1: Bigoted, trans- and homophobic video. The comment section shows heavy mod abuse.

Exhibits 2 and 3: Conspiracy theory. Again comment section is heavily "moderated".

All of those posts are mod-posts because the community locked for non-moderators to create posts in. Is this really the kind of community that tchncs wants to foster?

 

Hey,

I'm noticing that I get many broken comment chains and comments failing to load. Is that just for me or does anybody else experience issues. I guess, it started when I was updating the mail address linked to this account a couple weeks back. The token I got with the email to verify my address was rejected (Invalid token) and since then, I'm having issues. My settings show the correct email and I cannot send a new token to verify (it says nothing about verification status). It was, probably incidentally, at the evening of when the lemmy update got installed onto this instance, so maybe I've chosen a bad time for the mail change.

Here is a thread that showcases my problem:

Maybe someone knows what's wrong.

Thanks in advance!
