If you aren’t willing to engage with your partner about their weird little interests, don’t expect them to engage with you about yours. This goes for all genders.
Healthy relationships are about sharing all the odd things going in your head with someone receptive to and interested in those odd things.
This is called knowing somebody and it really feels like it’s an utterly lost concept now. It’s no wonder people are abandoning relationships right now, people never talk about the rewards, only made-up problems and conflicts get circulated.
No, women need to understand how interesting the making of bike tires is.
Normalize understanding that men and women aren’t very different in this regard. I once asked a girl what was going on in her head and she was thinking about stinkbugs, and if you could handle them carefully enough to not get stanked.
Did… did you marry her?
It’s sad that I read this and the first thought was not about how similar we can be but more, “well…I suppose if you were gentle…”
We just tell you some stupid shit to leave us alone, and you’re buying it.

Because some women love calling men dumb or stupid online and then wonder why boys become incel/redpill men in the future.
I’m not saying that many men online aren’t doing the same to women. I’m just tired, as a man, to go online and see memes diminishing men, and when I try to address it, nobody seems to care.
The same women that mock men for refusing to go to the doctor are the same women that mock men when they get sick.
They start with a conclusion (“men bad!”) and back-solve.
100%. When my wife asks me this question, I always ask…“are you sure you want to know?”.
Once it was the astronomical odds of reincarnation if bacteria was a factor when reincarnating. The math just isn’t there and your odds of coming back as a human would be older than the universe.
She rarely asks me this ever now lol.
It’s a quick reset, though. You’ll get back to human eventually unless you end up as one of those immortal trees or something.
I hope after this I’m always born as anything but a human.
I mean, being a tree isn’t that bad
It is in this boomer run, fuck the environment world.
Unless you’re a Bradford Pear. 🤮
Imagine rolling tardigrade.
Whoops, now I’m a fungal colony / gestalt consciousness… untill the planet I’m on gets killed by its star?
Is that how you… achieve, or totally avoid samsara?
Task failed successfully?
If a single celled organism successfully divides, is it dead? Wouldn’t a single cell eventually grow into a colony of clones, copying itself indefinitely until some random mutation or outside force prevents it from reproducing? Where would it be considered appropriate for us to consider a single celled organism dead?
If cells never died the universe would be nothing but solid amoeba.
When it dies. Clones are individuals, with individual rights that are the same as any other individual. #clonerights #clonesarepeopletoo #justpassionateforafriend
Depends on the definition of “soul”. Too small a vessel and stuff.
That would imply that bacteria have souls which means that I’m committing genocide each time I’m cleaning my toilet. I always assumed that you could only reincarnate into creatures complex enough to actually have sentience.
Edit: Also a fun fact is that if you count all human beings that have ever lived in the entire human history it would still not be close enough to the number of bacteria that live in or on a single human being (roughly 117 billion humans compared to around 20 to 30 trillion bacteria).
Isn’t there a sect that kinda believes exactly this?
Jainism believes this. Their monks carry little brooms around to sweep ahead of them so they won’t crush any insects by stepping on them.
Well if what your reincarnated as dependent on how good of a person you are these odds make sense if you look at humanity as a hole
being “good” is relative considering humans destroyed most of the ecosystem
Two things:
First, mathematically, It’s sort of a moot concern. Reincarnation comes with the framework that lives are the universe experiencing itself. So There’s no “loss” in going between species as “you” will actually incarnate as everything and everyone once in non-linear time on the backend making “time” immaterial. I am you and you are me. We are all one existence. So you have time.
Second, that reincarnation frameworks usually also include a structure where it’s not random what you reincarnate as next time around. Karma doesn’t usually boot people back down to bacterium right after human. It’s usually more of a leveling up in order to experience deeper and more meaningful lifetimes. But YMMV.

That sounds extraordinarily arbitrary. Who decides what counts as a “level up”? Does that mean if you start as a bacteria you’re stuck like that for a few thousand or million cycles? How would you earn enough karma points to level up from being a bacteria? What counts as “deeper and more meaningful lifetimes” if you are a bacteria?
Apologies, I totally missed the most essential part of this all:
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
Who decides what counts as a “level up”?
Well, you do, ultimately. Remember, you’re talking about a system where there is agency between lifetimes as well. I’m not familiar enough with non-human karmic mechanics to definitively tell you, but in most systems it’s that you a “burning off” the karma of being en evil asshole by being demoted from human to less sentient lifeforms. So sending Hitler or Cecil Rhodes or Andrew Jackson would then indeed spend 40,000 lifetimes being killed over and over again before getting back in the running to have a central nervous system.
Exactly and the math doesn’t give this theory a chance really, unless humans create the sentience. Coming back as “anything” would now include the bacteria and whatever else from other planets. Which even doubled, you would have to wait until entire universes recycle.
Does “waiting” have any meaning in this metaphysics? Arguably not.
Then she asks him if he’d still love her if she was an amoeba.
I would have to leave out of fear… I don’t think I know how to take care of an amoeba, and the last thing I want to do is accidentally breathe you in or something 😔
That’s when you know she’s a keeper.
Bicycle tires were invented by Dunlop and improved by Michelin.
You know these names, because it actually wasn’t a dumb idea.
How is that dumb?! Can you explain how bike tires are made then? Yeah, that’s what I thought!!
They extrude the rubber into a tube then melt the ends together and valve into the side.
I’m sorry I’m going to need a 15-minute video with lots of cheesy very unfunny jokes.
Here is 25 Minutes about a bike tire is produced from dandelions. Though it’s only in German. But that also means there are no jokes.
How is that dumb shit? Tires are high tech!
I guess because a boy thought it
Normalize having absurd and weird conversations between loved ones.
Normalize to just be quiet sometimes between loved ones.
Sure, if that’s what y’all want! Ideally that’s ironed out before long-term commitments like marriage.
100x this.
I don’t know about everyone, but I find that these types of conversations can be stimulating/interesting
This is an astoundingly perfect reference, bravo
Dude needs to finish off How it’s Made. They don’t show you how everything is made, but they cover so damn much that you can probably take a pretty decent stab at it.
Vulcanized rubber
How do they get the rubber out of the volcano?
a crack team of water bears with nothin to lose and somethin to prove
And steel mesh.
Im a girl and half the time my brain is just spinning Maxwell cat gif, the other half I’m either thinking about theory or Linux :3
What kind of theory? I’m not sure what that means to “think about theory.”
In case its not obvious socialist and anarchist theory :3
You are the physical embodiment of Lemmy.
Truly a " :3 " moment
:3
No it wasn’t obvious lol
I am a db0 admin so I thought it was :3
Why would it be obvious? In-between cats and Linux it could be veterinary theory, social media theory, computer science theory, math theory. How would one think anything political is involved, let alone something as specific.
To be clear, nothing wrong with you not mentioning it in the original comment, but I’m very confused on why you thought it was obvious.
Totally unrelated, but you helped me think of a fun fraction/percentage math question for my kid.
