    So, many years ago, I worked at a fast food place in highschool and we had a big walk in 0°F freezer. One of my coworkers and a supervisor were debating this whole deal so the filled up two containers of water, one got and one cold, and put them in there.

    Long story short, hot water froze faster. This was before the age of smartphones and such so we couldn’t pull up YouTube and other sources about it, but it can happen but the mechanics behind it are not entirely confirmed. Some theory is that heated water has less dissolved gas that can interfere with freezing, other are about volume either being lost, or the fact that hot water has a greater volume than cold water, either way meaning as it cools, its actually less overall volume of water. There’s other theories. I remember seeing this video about it some time ago but I haven’t watched it in a while.

    Imo, I think it’s a combination of factors and that, evaporation in general will cool the rest of the liquid.Thays literally hot sweat works for humans. Water evaporates which pulls heat from your body. And hot water is gonna evaporated was faster in the cold weather. More evaporation is also reducing the total volume of water.less dissolved gas will allow it to not only evaporate faster but freeze quicker too.

    But doing science at home it’s t too difficult either. Just measure out a cup of cold water from your tap, and a cup of the same hot water you would give to the animals. Set both outside in the same style and size of container, and check them ever 20 minutes or so. Way better and easier that guessing and hoping.

    But all in all, I would also say if you have the option, you should used heated water bowls or put a heating element in their water container. Even a mall fish tank heater can prevent quite a bit of water from freezing. Might not keep it “warm,” but would keep “warm enough.”

    Also, most companies are owned by large scale investors. What the fuck do those investors actually do for the company? Do they lead it? Do they go in ever day and sign paperwork and go to meetings about company direction? Fucking no. The only thing they do is fire CEOs if stock prices go down and then hire new ones that come in and do layoffs for short term stock boosts. lol.

    Not to mention the entire purpose of a leader in a country should be to work FOR the people that elect them. The capitalist only wants the business to succeed for their own benefit, and will cut any and every job they can to increase their own pay.

    Anyone that treats a capitalist and a company like a president and a country has such an infantile understanding of reality that their input into any conversation can just safety being ignored.





  • What’s moreso ironic about Thanksgiving is, it as a Holiday, is further a victim of a form of Holiday imperialism.

    So like, we have Christmas right? And it’s been turned into just insane consumerism for years. And from that consumerism spawned “Black Friday.” Which in and of itself, has practically become its own Holiday, and Thanksgiving is becoming some afterthought. In advertising, media, etc. you barely see anything about Thanksgiving anymore,it’s all about pushing Black Friday, and no also “Cyber Monday” sales. Members of my family sit around at Thanksgiving and actually plan out where they are going for Black Friday. It’s sickening.

    So we are basically watching a Holiday based on colonialism, being consumed by a kind of holiday imperialism…

    Sorry if this seems like insane rambling. Lol


  • They have put themselves in an absolute lose lose situation. They attack Venezuela and they build even more support to Maduro for resisting. Now that they are taking direct action, anyone they could ever try to put into power will be constantly resisted by the people.

    And if they back off? They ALSO build more support for Maduro. There’s nothing they can do that will not make them look weak and build support for Maduro. Nothing. The best they can look for is to just get lucky and pray for a coup or like, a accidental death. But I’m sure Maduro has a whole lineup ready to take on the mantle and keep resisting.

    All they can do is sit out there on their overpriced and under-functional ships and murder innocent fishers, hoping to goad Venezuela into being the aggressors. But even that is failing. lol.


  • So for the AI bubble, it will not pop. The oligarchy has manipulated the stock market so much, that they really can just do whatever they want to control it. As most it will deflate while they move their assets somewhere else. But for right now, they NEED the AI to keep going, so it will. And only when they are done with it will they let it die, but odds are that’s a ways out. Just look at that they are doing to RAM prices now just to keep their AI monster shambling along.



  • Almost all small business owners benefit far more, and are far more closely related to, the proletariat. Which is why the capitalists try so hard to skew the lines to make them side with them against the workers. Workers fighting against massive monopolistic conglomerates? “Look. LOOK. These greedy workers want to steal your mom and pop business.”

    And damned if it doesn’t work

  • Yeah, western medicine isn’t designed to make you better. It’s designed to sort of, kind of suppress the symptoms, but mostly just to keep you buying more of it.

    Meanwhile, studies on psilocybin have show it has the potential to be a long term cure with a single dose having lasting effects of months, or even years. That’s why it’ll never be made legal.



  • They absolutely tried to use psychedelics to do crazy mind control experiments, and the things they did are unspeakably disgusting. Although, I legit think some of them were used as an excuse to drug and rape kids, and the fucking Feds were ALL about that shit. Hence the unspeakable part.

    The funny thing is, psychedelics were actually terrible for that because instead of sequestering the mind, and making people into programmable zombies, they actually did the opposite. They enhanced creativity and independence. They actually cause you to feel more empathy, not less. They make you a non-conformist, not fall in line.

    Idk about all psychedelics, but I can absolutely tell you, psilocybin mushrooms will show you a level of empathy, and connection to the world you never thought possible. No way I’m hell they could ever be used to control people.

    On the flip side, there’s a reason why there’s a pretty widespread problem with the over prescription of SSRIs and other similar meds in the US. Those things have been shown to basically turn you into a zombie of a person. I almost killed myself because of those fucking things. Mgic mushrooms, however; literally saved my life and actually opened my mind up to so many new ways of thinking and a kind of, “radical empathy” that started me down the path to being a communist when I was just a stupid shitlib. Really changed my outlook and understanding of the world.
