Have a nice day too! 👋

Read my second sentence again.

The thing I am SURE about is, that using words and concepts from one area and postulating that they are applying in the same sense in another area, just because we found some loose similarity or similar trait, is logically not sound. See False-Equivalence

Our understanding of “pain” only makes sense when applying it to beings with a nervous system, because this word describes just THAT.

It’s like talking about hair and hairstyles and then applying the derived insights to birds, because their feathers “remind” us of hair.

It just doesn’t apply. Other contexts require dedicated concepts that are not “loaded” by using termina from irrelevant concepts.

Emotive language does not help your argument. It weakens any validity it might have otherwise.

Plants don’t “feel pain”. The entire concept of “pain” is alien to everything without a central nervous system.

Plants DO however react to stressful external stimuli. They do that in a way, that we will never be able to relate to.

Some publications use words as “pain” and “suffering” in that context in order to go give non-academic folks something to relate. But on a scientific level, these terms are irrelevant at best.

I feel you. This can be so me. 😅

Same for me.

Yeah! It’s the “you messed up mode”.

My father was a sales & marketing executive for a window company in Germany. You can prepare for a long rant whenever he sees “those dreadful sliding windows” in a TV show from the US or Great Britain. Like every time. 😅

Not sure and not queer here.

But my guess is, that the woman in the cis pic has very trimmed, slim eyebrows - while the others have more natural looking brows. Maybe because the queer folk don’t need to play the “stereotypical female game”. They are defining their own sense of femininity, so no need for conforming with patriarchal stereotypes?

Again, just my guess. If I’m wrong: please explain. I’m always willing to learn & evolve.

You can go clean some dishes?

Yeah, good question.

It’s called markdown. (More specifically CommonMark)

You can check out the supported syntax by Lemmy HERE. It has a lot of other features available to format text & stuff.

Brother, really? Have you even seen one before? 🤔

Heavy water - like water, just heavier.

Well, I set myself up for this, didn’t I… 😅 Actually I was kind of hoping for a more specific question, as I would need to respond with a wall of text - and I would like to avoid that as it is kinda rude to force people to read so much and it makes discussion difficult.

So maybe 3 options:

1. Wall of text
2. You have a more specific question in mind to rephrase
3. I try to summarize my wall of text, but I might not get the point across

Well I wasn’t expecting to find THE right answer in the comments already. Kudos!

And to everyone reading through this post: If you have questions, need more explanations or want to learn more about the options that we have to “stabilize” a renewable energy system and make it long term viable, just ask!
