  • Try this:

    So everything in space, every object had to get to where it is via time. It travelled there. Everything can’t be anywhere without time as without time it wouldn’t have been able to move there. Time is a constant graph, and as it moves forward, things move around and as such, space is able to exist. This is why we consider space and time to be linked.

    Now consider this: if one was to plot a graph of space and time on an x y axis to track an object, there is a point on the graph where time has to be zero, and as such space has to be zero.

    This is the big bang.

    It is the beginning of the graph. When time was zero, and as such so was space.

    Space did not burst out from a single point that we could find out there in space, as there was no point. everything was still everywhere much like it is now, except everywhere just so happened to be so close to one another to be at the same point on the graph. When time began, it just about instantly expanded out, everywhere in every direction. There is no ‘center’ to this expansion, just like if you blow up a balloon there is no center on the surface of the balloon, it just expands everywhere, and more importantly with time we are able to quantify this.


  • This is such a bad take. Lemmys barrier to entry is already staggering, from picking an instance, figuring out how what and where communities are, finding ones with any engagement and sorting through dead duplicates, filtering hexbear and tankies, to blocking out porn and other stuff you may find undesirable. With bots flooding communities, Lemmy sometimes feels like a shell left behind from other social networks. Just block them? Sure I can, and may succeed playing bot whack-a-mole, but not everyone will bother, and the discussion stifling effect bots are having will remain.

    Lemmy is small but growing, and content bots have a place, but maybe that place should be gathered into a bot instance that can be content surfed at will and need not require manual blocking from every individual. All these quirks of Lemmy are stifling it.

    Lemmy could go a mile with content and community tagging and grouping functionality. The fractured state of federation and bot infestation, if it’s to be a feature, needs fleshed out tools to easily moderate in an additive way, rather than manual filtering out. It needs to be useful and functional from account creation and improve with filter work, not start as a bot ridden fractured mess and get manageable after some filter work.



  • I assume it’s the ‘swiss style’ raw rolled oats not toasted.

    I have it with plain yoghurt and a bit of jam. Milk is nice too. I like the texture and it’s fantastic for your gut.

    Having said that you obviously hate that, so try this:

    1. Mix equal parts honey, brown sugar and coconut oil (or olive oil you could even add a dollop of butter) and heat in a saucepan until the sugar is melted. (About a 1/3 cup of each should be enough for about 3-4 cups of muesli mixture.) While you wait, put your oven on a medium to low heat like 150C.

    2. Separate out the fruit bits and set aside. Combine the rest of the ingredients with the melted honey oil mix, and spread out thin on a baking tray (you may want to do batches, keep it spread thin here!

    3. Bake on low for about 20-30min, stirring every 5-10min. (Don’t let it burn)

    4. Once cool, break it up and add your fruit back, Voila! You have crunchy home made granola cereal! Feel free to add anything else, pecan nuts / almonds / coconut flakes - either raw or toast it with the granola at the beginning. I like banana chips. Chocolate chips are nice too. You can’t really go wrong and it’s easy as.

    Note:: The only thing you want to avoid is burning it while you toast it, the burn flavour will take over the whole mix! So keep an eye on it and keep it moving.

    Note:: melted sugar is like lava. Melt it on the saucepan slowly and don’t let it smoke. Keep the heat low. Don’t stir in to the muesli with your hands. Use a wooden spoon. That shit will burn.

    ‘Glib’ - when the words come out your mouth are fluent, but insincere and shallow.

    McDonald’s Sprite tastes good, it has just the right sweetness and fizz. It’s always exactly the same wherever you go yet somewhat fake and hollow. Similarly, hotel conditioners in my experience, are cold and effective - in the way a walk in fridge is designed to keep meat fresh. Purely functional and devoid of tangible comfort. ‘Glib’.
