Gold is already worthless, main purpose of gold is that its shiny and pretty, less than 1% of gold mined gets used for electronics and stuff. The rest ist accessoires. The only reason gold costs something is because people think that it is worth something.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•The latest skincare fad is rubbing salmon sperm on your face
11·3 months agoFunfact: sperm contains protamin, the antidote for heparin which is used for anti coagulatory properties in medicine. During cardio vascular surgery you get a shit ton of heparin so they can perform the open heart surgery (so the heart lung machine doesn’t get clogged). After the surgery you get protamin so you do not bleed to death. This protamin is often sourced from salmon sperm. If you have strong fish allergies you could theoretically react on it but it’s not very likely.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What launcher should I replace Nova with?
6·4 months agoThe grapheneOS team has stated repeatedly that the fairphone does not meet the requirements for GrapheneOS, they are currently working with a hardware partner to bring GrapheneOS to a (supposedly) new device. This is most likely not fairphone because
- Fairphone is not selling worldwide, the annoucement mentioned a worldwide partner
- Fairphone does not mean the Hardware rwquirements and (arguably more importantly because it is harder to fix) the software requirements. They do not have timely enough upgrades.

53·4 months agoWhile i agree with the sentiment v-bucks are not 100% profit. People buy v-bucks for skins, these skins have to be produced by people who typically don’t do that for free. And for ongoing sells of v-bucks fortnite has to get regular updates, one of the selling points of fortnite are the regular seasons and events, these are not free to produce. Obviously they do all of this to increase profit but 100% profit ratio is a strange take.

Furthermore 96kbps is more than enough for casual listeners. You may hear a difference but most people wont care tbh.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do people who try to convince others to switch to metric focus so much on the conversions?
2·4 months agoOr e.g. in my last appartment we had an weird electrical water heater that didn’t work that well. I was able to easily estimate the extra cost it procured by estimating water volume, temperature difference and electrical price, most annoying par was converting from joule to calories because it is not base 10. (would have taken >3years so not worth it for me)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do people who try to convince others to switch to metric focus so much on the conversions?
4·4 months agoI do stuff like this all the time. Like if i bought a pool i wanted to estimates how much water it needes to estimate all the follow up costs, if i am cooking something i often switch between kg and g, if am measuring things i switch between cm, m and mm depending on what i am currently measuring all the time. E.g. i needed a new working plate in my kitchen, i wanted it precut to fit exactly in after moving some cabinets while still aligning the sink. The whole space was measured in meters, but the individual cuts were all measured in milimeters. I was able to do all of that in 5 minutes with one piece of paper for sketching and my head. (And it fitted down to the milimeter in the end).

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•NHS defends cousin marriages because ‘only 15 percent lead to birth defects’
1722·4 months agoITT: Blatant ableism disguised as concerns.
Should you be allowed to have children if you are a known carrier of some bad but not inmediatly deadly risk gene like fragile x, chorea huntington, mucoviszidosis, diabetes 1 (let’s ignore the worsening of fragile x and chorea huntingtion across generations for a moment)? Should you be allowed to have children if you have trisomie 21, or some other mental disability? If you say no i think you are ableist and can’t comprehend that people with special needs are still people that can be happy and can have desires. If you say yes why can’t two cousins have a child? What if they have two forms of birth control and just want to fuck? What if they are the same sex? I my experience most people who are against two cousins having sex do not give a flying fuck about some theoretical chile but just think it’s icky. Which is a fair feeling you are allowed to have but should not be basis for a law.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•There are no odd numbers divisible by 2
17·5 months agoSo there are infinite prime numbers, there exists only one even prime number, the odds of an prime number beeing odd is 100% ((∞-1)/∞)=100%) 2 is an prime number, therefore 2 is odd and is divisble by itself aka 2. Q.e.d.

World News@lemmy.world•China to hike tax on condoms in attempt to boost falling birth rate
2·5 months agoI was not the one who wrote the 50% statement, but no worries.
Your statement was,“Fully reversable if you ever want kids,” and that is simply not true. I am not saying that i know better than licensed physicans i am saying that the actual data that you just posted agrees with me. A vasectomy may be reversible, if you decide for it in less than three years it may even be likely. But if you decide for a vasectomy you should not consider that as an viable option because the chances are not very good.
Conpared to the OPs statements, a vasectomy is a far better choice That heavily depends, if you are in a relationship and 100% to someday have kids a vasectomy is the worse choice cause it lowers your chances of achieving that dream (according tou your sources after just three years 30-50%…).
the woman suffer a full surgery with abdominal pains and scar tissue with a tubal ligation. Yeah, okay buddy.
This i a strawman argument and you should know that. Not once have i argued for a tubual ligitation as a viable alternative for a reversible procedure. I am glad to discuss everything but let’s try to maintain some good discussion conventions and not just imagine new arguments.
Edit: from your source “Even if sperm return, pregnancy rates are lower (30-70%) and depend on partner’s fertility as well.” So one in three people wont be able to conceive in the realistic best case scenario.

World News@lemmy.world•China to hike tax on condoms in attempt to boost falling birth rate
122·5 months agoYou made the first blatant statement. Furthermore you make claims that seem very dubious and then write feel free tonfact check me? Why not post a source? And pregnancy rate of 80% isn’t very good to begin with but it drops to only 50% after 3 years? Thats abysmal and to suggest to get such a procedure as a temporary solution is kinda insane. Vasectomies should be treated as a final solution.

Linux@lemmy.ml•When they say CachyOS is mostly for newer machines...what's "newer"
7·6 months agoOne of the advantages of CachyOS ist the compilation with the x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4 and Zen4 instruction set. If your cpu does not support any of these sets your theoretical performance gains will be smaller since you do not get the advantage of these tailored compilations. The other things Cachy does like increased swappiness etc. should still work. Check the wiki to see if your cpu supports these sets.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•why do so many people think the brain is somehow totally isolated from the body?
4·7 months agoSomething i have thought about for some time. Do we only have one consciousness? Like if you literally split your brain in half via operation suddenly you got two brain halves tha’t can not communicate with each other in any way. Do you now have 2 personalities and consciousness? If yes, why don’t you have them before? Maybe you always have two but they are just in agreement. And why stop at two? There are some interviews with siamese twins (the teacher sisters for example) and it’s so interesting to see how they talk. They finish each other sentences which is natural i guess but they also say “ehh” when the other one doesn’t know a word. It’s like a single person talking. I am not arguing they are distinctive persons. Just some random thoughts.

Technology@lemmy.world•Signal Protocol and Post-Quantum Ratchets
2·8 months agoContact info gets hashed in a clever way which doesn’t send your info (although i guess phone number hashes could be brute forced?) Meta data is also not available. They have no way to know who you are talking to. The only info they have is that you logged ij with a ip at a time. I believe they can’t even reliable track how many messages you send. Even with a compromised server most of the magic happens in the open source client side app so that they can’t gather very much. I understand your concerns about popular centralized services but i really believe that they are unfound with signal.
