Interesting.

So that means match any string that is made entirely of a single repeating sequence, where repititon is possible.

Empty input Or input of exactly 1 character Or input of at least 2 characters, followed by at least 1 something (idk what \1 matches)

Did I get it (almost)?

This is probably telling on myself, but I’m not sure how to read “breeding” here.

I’m assuming (hoping) that they mean the literal dictionary definition of breeding it with other sheep, to produce a herd of genetic mutant giant sheep.

I’m afraid they’re using slang and this dude cloned his fav sheep and fucked it.

American exceptionalism and identity politics have become so ingrained in the culture that it is too painful for people to identify as lower class and needing assistance. Needing help has become considered a moral failing of the individual instead of a failing of the society, and that feeds back into itself to prevent people from changing the culture.

Yeah I knew they weren’t plants but it made the analogy easier to pretend they were 😅
They have plant-ey vibes

They were all like “let’s get the Calvin cycle up in this house, lets light it up!” And so they did, and the atmosphere caught fire

Very cool!

It reminds me of my fav, The Oxygen Catastrophy, where basically a plant did something new and caused the earth to freeze. In this case, by converting methane to carbon dioxide, a much weaker greenhouse gas.

I like it!
I kind of feel like “locomotive” itself is a niche so this is more like a collapse of a niche rather than a mass extinction, but I love the analogies

That’s my fav too.
“The Oxygen Catastrophy” is just such a cool name.

• Also some upstart bacteria just start pumping out poison that kills almost everything (oxygen)
• Causes the ocean to rust
• Causes the atmosphere to catch on fire
• then causes the earth to turn to a snowball

Fuckin metal

I’m judging you, as I said I would

That’s the Holocene, and I’m judging you.

I was asking for extinction events, aka mass extinctions.
But this is still very interesting! Thanks for sharing it with me

I’m judging you, not because you chose the Holocene, but for how easy it was to get people without interesting opinions to identify themselves 😏

🙅 zeroth, first, second, third
👉 Zerost, onest, twost, threest

Lol yeah
But also let people like stuff. Don’t be a snooty ass about it.

Anarchocommunism babYYYY 😎

the first thing you do is get a rag

Was because you were downplaying the importance of the rag. The rag is more important than the water is. If you’re cleaning a mess, and your choice is between water and rag, you choose the rag.

How commonly do bidet users scrub with both TP and water in a single sitting? The internet and this comment section suggests it’s pretty rare.

People are choosing between bidet (water) and tp (rag), and in your analogy, you’re saying the sensible choice is to wash something with only water and no rag. Your analogy only holds water (lol) if you don’t actually think about it.

Is that clear enough for you?

Oh I totally agree.

But voting liberal (eg Dems in the USA) gives us more time to find a solution. It’s not the solution, it’s just a stalling tactic. Even when they’re trying to block opportunities, it still results in relatively more opportunities than otherwise. I think there is value in that.

There are times when spoiling a ballot or even voting the other way is good, it sends a message which may (unlikely) cause a shakeup. But to simply never participate just accelerates the destruction.

Your lack of self awareness is absolutely astounding because not only did everything you say apply to you, but in fact you somehow missed that I already did it.

You complain about how you could just write the same response again because I “didn’t understand it” in a post where I literally had to rephrase my same point again because you didn’t understand it

You say “2 fucking things can be true at once” as though voting to slow the disaster prevents you from doing any of the other things you said I should be doing.

Fuckin learn the concept of critical support you absolute waste of space. You sit on your high horse like some fucking internet edgelord pretending because YOU didn’t vote for the bad person, that nothing the bad person did was your fault.

Never mind reading what I wrote, read what you wrote as though as though someone else sent it to you. 🤯

Your priorities just make no sense to me.

Yes both parties are bad, but voting for one is voting for more opportunities to save yourself.
The decision to prioritize giving them the middle finger where nobody can see it over helping yourself is something I can’t get my head around. Your resistance does nothing but help the speedy arsonist.

It feels like you’re just listing off talking points to score cool points with a bunch of Lemmy edgelords.
