  • Perhaps the point is to fix it up a little before getting more folks to join?

  • Okay, but are we gonna talk about how Lagos, Nigeria will become a ski resort town?

  • At this point you’re splitting hairs… wait…

  • The Simpsons' longtime director David Silverman claimed that Smithers was always intended to be "Mr. Burns' white sycophant" and **the producers ultimately decided that it "**would be a bad idea to have a black subservient character to a rich white man," so Smithers was literally color-corrected for his next episode. The first appearance of the proper yellow Smithers with grey hair was in "There's No Disgrace Like Home", the fourth episode of The Simpsons season 1.

  • Edit 2: This reply isn’t even relevent anymore because the poster is editing their before posts to try and make my replies seem bad, really weird behaviour.

    I never said there was a single definition. Just that most people think it’s characterised by things like symbolic language and art.

    And the first paragraph of the wikipedia article you sent agrees with me

    Most scholars agree that modern human behavior can be characterized by abstract thinkingplanning depth, symbolic behavior (e.g., artornamentation), music and dance, exploitation of large game, and blade technology, among others.

    Edit: I posted my paragraoh before you replied with that article. My edit was fixing spelling adding the homo habilis example and fixing language to last common ancestor around my chimp example because I had said “evolved from Chimps” which is inaccurate.

  • Depends what you mean by behaviourally modern.

    Skulls around 2.5 million year old range (seen in homo habilis for example) are very different (and much smaller) from the ones we currently have. I mean humans only split off from our common ancestor with chimps about 5 - 7 million years ago.

    So timewise 2.5 Mya is just a little more than halfway between our last common ancestors and modern Homo Sapiens (Sapiens).

    The earliest evidence we have for things like symbolic language and abstract art is more like 50-100’000 years ago. That’s what most people mean by behaviourally modern.

  • It also checks out for homo sapiens interacting with chimpanzees north of the Congo river 20k ya

  • Look it up literally all the first results on the web say this.

  • I didn’t seriously mean you shoyld have added that lol. Like it’s tough to draw. Mostly just was adding that context in a weird way ahah. Continue like you do. Your postings are good!

  • Yup. Welcome to the UK, where the “left” suspends politicians for not voting to throw hundreds of thousands of disabled people into poverty.

  • 9/10

    you forgot the fact the land isn’t flat but already full of bomb craters and rubble

  • Yeah that’s pretty bad, wonder what kind of other biases there are as well. Class, dialect etc…

  • Absurdity @lemmy.cafe

  • Honestly it’s kind of cool because these sort of restrictions are exactly what might give us a more privacy and techy new generation.

  • Never mind the fact that keeping a squid in a tank they’ll kill themselves within the day as well. We do not know how to keep adult squid in captivity.
