February is DEFINITELY the worst month of the year. January is bad but you can still somewhat be enjoying the relative newness of winter, pretty christmas lights are still up for awhile, and there’s the excitement of new years eve and the start of a new year.

February is when all the blah of winter really starts piling up, the cold overcast days drag on forever, the gloom suffocates your mood, everything outside is drab, and not only is there not a good holiday in february - but in fact there’s a bad holiday in february with valentine’s day.

I don’t want life to feel like it goes any quicker than it already does, but february makes a good argument for a skip to march

Nonsense. I live in nyc and use my bike to get around to a lot of places. You basically can’t get a city more dense and mixed commercial-residential than New York

True, but the important thing is that the CEOs made an unimaginable amount of money /s

Because there are enough people who are selfish, short sighted, or disinterested, and an enormous number of things in society require coordination, long term thinking, and decisions made every single hour of every single day.

That’s totally unworkable. Almost everything in society would completely stop functioning

I feel like this is the first technology news in a looooonnng time that’s actually cool instead of horrible

I looked it up and you’re 100% right. Incendiary weapons are fine as long as it doesn’t hit civilians or intentionally start a forest fire

Exactly, the nutrition label isn’t a list of all substances found by chemical analysis, it’s literally just the most important “nutrition” information

Ear plugs - not just noise cancelling headphones. It’s much easier to sleep with ear plugs than with headphones. And headphones can get uncomfortable after many hours. And if you want extra quietness you can use both the earplugs and headphones at the same time

Absolutely, it’s not even remotely a question - the ants would win. Totally and completely.

Mastodon isn’t a straight replacement for twitter, bluesky is.
