I’ve forgotten most of my childhood. I have a few flashback memories per year, but otherwise, even for 3rd/4th grade, I barely remember anything. In general, the older you get, the more you’ll forget them, but some people do have better memories than others.

Mostly Subscribed-New, and I will check All-New when I have way too much free time.

“To strike another blow for freedom allows a man to walk a little taller and hold his head a little higher. And while he can, he must.” - William J Brennan, former justice of the US Supreme Court. I keep it taped to my door to remind me why I’m here.

they actually have huge issues in American dating, because a lot of women will refuse to match with them at all. obviously this isn’t a problem for rich people, but for regular people they are just lonely people who blame their loneliness on some evil other side instead of simply not being a good person.

on the contrary, I worked in a jail. the idea is a myth.

So, I googled it. Apparently, magnetism involves the interaction between the magnetic field and an unpaired electron. The iron in our blood is bound to the heme molecule, so the magnetism is so low that is nearly undetectable. However, when we have a blood clot, there is an unbound molecule, so blood clots are very weakly magnetic (meaning, you can detect the blood clot with a big enough magnet, like in an MRI).

So the question is, what happens to iron when we digest it? And this is the point where I go “Ok you need an actual scientist to answer this”, because I didn’t study science in school. Apparently, iron starts in an oxidized ferric state (Fe3+) and our body needs to turn it into a ferrous state or bind it to a heme molecule. The + means it is in a positive state, not a neutral state, so, before it is paired, it has an unpaired electron.

But does that mean it’s so strongly magnetic it’s gonna hurt you, or is it weakly magnetic like blood clots? HOW THE FUCK DO I KNOW? How many iron videos do you expect me to watch on a Friday night?

wow you went to basically as different of a place as humanly possible

Yea there aren’t good or bad people, just good or bad decisions.

Production caps, energy expenditure caps, more efficient redistribution systems. Basically “produce what we need and then stop.” Redirect energy from acquiring more resources to developing intellectual thought and artistic talent.

Threads. It’s better if you want a normal social media experience (which I realize a lot of people on lemmy do not).
