@denjiro_uso I can't tell if the characters are being drawn as caricatures or if it's just that the artists don't really know how to draw white people. Hard to imagine that they would deliberately draw their allies in such an unflattering manner.

@sappholives83 If I read one more of these today I'm going to puke. Though I wonder, if women can get severely sick from leaving dirty tampons in, can men? Maybe risking it is part of the fantasy... ugh...

There are trans-identifying men who steal used menstrual waste from bathroom trash cans and re-use it themselves. To be clear - these men are inserting used tampons, or walking around in someone else’s dirty pads, all for the purposes of sexual gratification. The violation of it is almost as disturbing as the behavior itself. Men have no business in women’s spaces.

@Richerd1378272 @sappholives83 Yes, it is cold, and that is intended, because it gives them the opportunity to use their heating pads. (I'm sorry)

@sappholives83 That sounds cold. And it's a waste of good tomato sauce.

There are trans-identifying men who freeze tomato sauce into cylinders to shove up their backsides so that when it melts, they can pretend that they’re having their period. But no, this is definitely not a fetish… or a mental health issue.

@sappholives83 This is the worst fucking thing I have ever read on this app. *taps Bookmark*

@foundring1 How much are we betting that the one like is her own?

can't...tell...if...satire...

@FlorianGacha @homo_oblitus But, well, I suppose you are an ocean away. Unlike our native lefties who have no excuse, hehe. In the meantime check out crime victimization statistics. Tons of murder victims in the hospitals of black cities mean that there are tons of murders, no police required.

@FlorianGacha @homo_oblitus American here. If you truly believe that the American inner city has an identical crime rate to a working-class white neighborhood and only looks more dangerous because of racist statistics collectors, I invite you to come visit the inner city.

- Les hommes sont plus dangereux que les femmes. - Les noirs sont plus dangereux que les blancs. - Les musulmans sont plus dangereux que les chrétiens. - Les jeunes hommes sont plus dangereux que les hommes âgés. Toutes ces affirmations relèvent du bon sens et sont vérifiées statistiquement de mille manières. Tout le monde devrait avoir le droit de le penser et de le dire, il s'agit simplement d'avoir un cerveau qui fonctionne.

@DjoDalton66 @JeReinforme @ArnaudNaud74 It was thanks to your post that I learned that DNA testing is illegal in France. Now I wonder where JeReinforme got his results.

@JeReinforme @ArnaudNaud74 J'aurais vraiment aimé faire se test aujourd'hui interdit en France...

Ces graphes permettent de comprendre l'existence des races et l'écart génétique réel qui nous sépare des Africains (ou des Asiatiques). Quand on zoome, on parvient très bien à voir que mon ADN est dans le cluster génétique français au sein des Européens. Puis en dézoomant, on constate que toute la diversité génétique européenne est rassemblée dans le petit coin en haut à droite quand on compare à l'ensemble des génétiques du monde.

@KlaoMadeli92705 It is quite funny when the gender type bring up complete androgen insensitivity syndrome and ask if affected individuals are considered men or women. They don't seem to know that the classic medical name for the affected population is XY *women*.

A is male B is male C is male D is umbrella term for multiple conditions. Some male or female, never both E is female F is all females G is female Humans are gonochoric. Humans are either male or female and genetic variation WITHIN female or male don't change that. The end.

@jowdi_m Well, "proof that Germans are left brained" was not on my 2026 hatefact bingo card. If hemispheric theory somehow makes a full comeback, I will jump into agricultural slurry. (This statement is not legally binding.)

Quand on leur dit qu’appartenir à un groupe linguistique peut nous rattacher à une même mentalité ils ne nous croient pas.

@MushtaqBilalPhD Programming is not thinking. Gauss and Euler did all their work without compiling a single program. Are we supposed to believe that they were not thinking? No thinking is required to program. Any keyboard masher can do it. That I exploded my computer is a coincidence.

Writing is NOT thinking. If writing is thinking, are we to assume that Frida Kahlo was not thinking when she was painting her masterpiece The Dream? She wasn't writing after all. Or when Leonardo da Vinci painted Mona Lisa. Was he thinkin or not? He wasn't writing either. What about Marlon Brando when he was acting in The Godfather? Was he thinking at all? He wasn't writing while he was acting. What about the famous ballet dancer, Anna Pavlova? Did she think while dancing? She wasn't writing while dancing. What about hard-working farmers who do back-breaking work to produce food? Are they thinking or not? Because you can certain see them not writing. Writing was invented c. 3400 BC. Before that, was nobody thinking of anything?

@sean_a_mcclure @AiwithYasir Mmm sweet sweet tenure

@AiwithYasir Papers like this are a research crutch.

🚨Just IN: If you've used ChatGPT for writing or brainstorming in the last 6 months, your creative ability may already be permanently damaged. A controlled experiment just proved the effect doesn't reverse when you stop using it. 3,302 creative ideas. 61 people. 30 days of tracking. Researchers split students into two groups. Half used ChatGPT for creative tasks. Half worked alone. For five days, the ChatGPT group outperformed on every metric. Higher scores. More ideas. Better output. AI was making them better. Then day 7. ChatGPT removed. Every creativity gain vanished overnight. Crashed to baseline. Zero lasting improvement. But that's not the bad part. ChatGPT users' ideas became increasingly identical to each other over time. Same content. Same structure. Same phrasing. The researchers called it homogenization. Everyone using ChatGPT started producing the same ideas wearing different clothes. When ChatGPT was removed, the creativity boost disappeared -- but the homogenization stayed. 30 days later, same result. Their creative range had been permanently compressed. Five days of use. Permanent damage 30 days later. A separate trial confirmed it. 120 students. 45-day surprise test. ChatGPT users scored 57.5%. Traditional learners scored 68.5%. AI reduces cognitive effort. Less effort means weaker encoding. Weaker encoding means less creative raw material. You're not renting a productivity boost. You're financing it with your originality. The interest rate is permanent.

@DW7620309748777 @AiwithYasir Not just popsci, lack of adequate follow up is a massive plague on social science in general. We have known about the fade-out effect for years yet everyone still cheers on an intervention when it boosts results for the next week. Gotta pump out papers for that sweet sweet tenure

@AiwithYasir I despise these pop sci articles nothing can be empirically said to be “permanent” its not possible to be measured in a time bound study of particular phenomena

@reddit_lies If that image had been posted in 2012 a significant portion of Redditors would have developed floral print fetishes by now.

This feels like a brief glimpse back into 2012 Reddit

@BleiLennart @polidemitolog Anthropological definition, Middle East and North Africa were also considered Caucasoid. So were Indian Brahmins which led to hilarities like when an Indian applied for citizenship because he was "white" and it went to the Supreme Court before he was turned down.

@polidemitolog People with heritage in e.g. Lebanon or Egypt are considered white in the U.S. census .. it's all Caucasus somehow I guess🤷‍♂️

Why can't Americans just say European for White instead of Caucasian? This ahistorical term is really annoying.

@jonatanpallesen The idea is that very mentally disabled people can't be "guilty" because they don't understand what they're doing. Same reason you don't prosecute a dog that bites people. However, you preferably do things to stop the dog from biting more people rather than letting it walk free.

The most idiotic progressive idea may well be the idea that people with low IQ should get far lower sentencing. Just now in Norway, a Syrian migrant is sentenced to only 6 months in jail after child rape. It makes zero sense. It obviously doesn't make it less bad for the victim or future victims that their rapist is retarded. His IQ wasn't even that extremely low. It was estimated to be in the range of 64–75. The Syrian mean is around 78. So he is within normal range for the Syrian population. Even if their argument did make sense, 6 months for child rape is an insanely low. What are we doing?

@ChevalierDem @JeReinforme What am I talking about? The second graph makes it clear that bottom-top is genetic closeness to Asians.

@ChevalierDem @JeReinforme Looking at the within Europe graph, I would judge left-right as Germanic-Mediterranean, and I would call bottom-top Slav-nonSlav but with certain populations breaking the trend (Hungarians, Albanians). But I'm just an American, so I might not know much.

@JeReinforme Fun fact: in the 2D worldwide PCA, the African-non-African axis explains around twice as much variance as the European-Asian axis. To get a better idea of how different we are, imagine the African-non-African axis being twice as long as the European-Asian one.
