Not trying to discourage you, but what’s the reasoning for creating a new one when !factorio@lemmy.ml exists already and is reasonably alive?

I don’t understand this visualisation. Perhaps I’m lacking context. Anybody willing to do ELI5… maybe ELI15? What quantity is being compared and what are potential passengers?

Can you expand on what you mean by information literacy?

Some things are very dangerous even though for inexperienced they might not seem so. Case in point: the microwave. It has a powerful capacitor and if you try taking it apart, it might shock you even when disconnected from power

I consider myself a rather hygienic person. Wash my hands perhaps more often than I should. But I’m not exactly stressed when I don’t, partly because I know perfect hygiene isn’t best for your health either. I’m just very conscious about it, especially when preparing food for somebody else.

Birds singing. I live in a small town even though I prefer spending time in large cities. But this is what I miss when I’m out. Well, this and fresh air.

I know it’s far from what you asked, but the closest answer to the question is this Minecraft resource pack made for a few versions back.

What can I say, I keep my software up-to-date.

I do believe that the primary goal of the government is still to increase the wellbeing of people. It’s a complex machinery. Even if most politicians are corrupt, the whole thing can still strive towards the good. Corporate influence and corruption go against it while decomracy and separation of powers go for it.

However

The question was if it cares about MY best interest. The answer is no. The very purpose of the government is to limit all individuals’ freedom for the greater good. Take stealing as an example. It would be in my best interest if I were allowed to steal. But that would still suck if other people were allowed to steal from me as well. If we all agree not to steal from each other, it will be even better for me (even though, individually, I would still be in better position to be able to steal when everyone else is not). So it’s not so much about MY best interest, as it is the society’s.

If we do, can we please keep it a little more respectful than the Reddit one?

Currently the biggest one, I think, is science@lemmy.ml (though science@lemmy.world and science@beehaw.org are strong competitors). I’m going to try kick-starting STEM@lemmy.world soon, too.
