TokenBoomer , to Today I Learned in TIL humans are the only animal with a chin. We aren't sure why.

Because of mewing. Every sigma knows this.

TokenBoomer , to Today I Learned in TIL about Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment considered by some to be an "information hazard" - a concept or idea that can cause you harm by you simply knowing/understanding it

Thanks for damning anyone who reads this. /s

TokenBoomer , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?

Not in the definition; usage is not the definition:

Usage of Race

Sense 1a of this entry describes the word race as it is most frequently used: to refer to the various groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits, these traits being regarded as common among people of a shared ancestry. This use of race dates to the late 18th century, and was for many years applied in scientific fields such as physical anthropology, with race differentiation being based on such qualities as skin color, hair form, head shape, and particular sets of cranial dimensions. Advances in the field of genetics in the late 20th century determined no biological basis for races in this sense of the word, as all humans alive today share 99.99% of their genetic material. For this reason, the concept of distinct human races today has little scientific standing, and is instead understood as primarily a sociological designation, identifying a group sharing some outward physical characteristics and some commonalities of culture and history.

It’s always helpful to learn.

Merriam-Webster doesn’t mention skin color.

I wish I could upvote more.

TIL that knowledge is for personal gain.

TokenBoomer , to World News in China has renamed hundreds of Uyghur villages and towns, say human rights groups

China is making the wrong decision:

“These name changes appear part of Chinese government efforts to erase the cultural and religious expressions of Uyghurs.”

TokenBoomer , to World News in “Complete Dehumanization”: Israel Killed Over 800 Palestinians in 11 Days

Yes, ridiculous,

Hamas is an ideology. It's a movement that's committed to the liberation of Palestine. That ideology within Hamas is cloaked in an Islamist garb, but that ideology is not limited to Hamas. So even if Hamas militarily is severely hit by Israeli actions now, that ideology will reemerge because that's grounded in the political principles of the Palestinian struggle. So this military approach is really just a way to avoid dealing with the root cause of the problem.

TokenBoomer , to World News in ‘Exterminate the beasts’: How Israeli settlers took revenge for a murder in the West Bank

You can be damn sure if Biden’s poll numbers dropped to 20% he’d pivot so fast and the media would laud that as courage.

I invite anyone to verify that the “ghost cities,” are indeed, inhabited. Why do people choose to fight battles that are easily fact-checked. Confirmation bias is a helluva drug.
