Lacking proper scholarly evidence, I’m just going to assume it showed up within a decade of the invention of printed news.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Thirst Traps Over Think Tanks: Dems Want Hotter Candidates on the BallotEnglish
7·3 days agoI’m actually seeing a real lesson from the Mamdani campaign here. Not the one I really want to see them learn, but they learned something, at least.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can any armchair Cornels or members of the military tell us with your experience how a full out war with Iran will be like?
4·8 days agoIf the goal is to destabilize the regime until it collapses and then we fund a friendly government into power, it might be doable if we can block their oil exports. But we just lifted sanctions on their oil, so they’ll never run out of money. China may be making shaheds now, so even if we bomb all of Iran’s military manufacturing infrastructure, they can probably keep buying weapons forever.
Iran is very mountainous. This restricts the use of our biggest and best machines of war and gives them places to hide things. Iran is also big geographically and demographically, much larger than Iraq or Afghanistan. It’s also important to note that while the regime is not loved by many, they ALL really hate us. The regime is evil, but everyone west of Greece or so is a fucking demon to them. They have decent historical reasons to feel this way.
Occupying them and achieving complete surrender is probably not going to happen, and if we try for it, it’ll cost massive shitloads of money we don’t have and probably also a lot of lives. The best thing that can happen is we bail and try to say we won. The worst is the president nukes them and Russia nukes us back on their behalf. What I think is most likely is a collapse in the dollar and a withdrawal afterwards.
All they know how to do is eat ram, hog power, and lie

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is likely to happen when/if trump dies?
7·16 days agoThe individual you’re replying to may be sincere, but a shill trying to demoralize us would say the exact same thing. If a scary message doesn’t end in a call to action, it’s not helpful.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I was at the Home Depot today and they tried to sell me this crap
17·18 days agoSometimes I could use some of these to convince the inspector I didn’t touch the plumbing.
I still don’t know how to articulate the feeling I get seeing my country in decline but also seeing the world rearrange itself in a way that is probably healthier long-term as it happens. The Germans don’t have some long frankenword for simultaneous relief and deep unease at the same time, do they?

36·26 days agoI’ve got a suspicion I can’t shake that there’s an astroturf campaign to make people tired of talking about this shit rather than tired of the shit itself. It’s defense to keep ideas from entering the cult.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What the fuck is going on with Iran and what will happen next?
1·26 days agoGoing by the polls, roughly one in ten or perhaps more Americans have changed their mind about him already. They’re mostly independents, but he has also lost most of the literal actual Hitler-hailing nazis, which is a serious blow to his people power.

Ah shit, now that guy can’t pass me like this and it’s awkward as fuck. Guess I’ll slow down a little so he can get by me, then pick back up. Wash, rinse, repeat. I’m sorry.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can too many hits to the head make a person the R word in animals? My bc loves to run around the house and hits his head constantly but shakes it off. He acts normal and everything exceept4 zoomies?
4·1 month agoI’ve heard of it causing dementia regularly in blue-footed boobies because of their habit of high-speed diving to hunt. Every animal I’ve heard of that uses its head to bash things has a lot of special padding in the skull too. I think it’s pretty safe to assume animals can be concussed abd suffer similar forms of brain damage to a human.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it reasonable to be concerned about security issues when switching to Linux?
22·1 month agoLinux has a long history of being significantly more secure than Windows as well as being a much smaller target. Linux malware might exist these days, but it’s rare at most.
