I don’t stop thinking, it just… gradually gets quieter. Like when you’re walking away from someone who’s still talking.

I dunno but… For comparison, I have a B.S. in Computational Mathematics with a minor in Physics, and I have never once actually used it for anything. My current job required a degree but not specifically that degree. It is ostensibly one of the those useful, in-demand majors, but I couldn’t find many job opportunities for it that applied to me, or that I actually wanted… So honestly your path sounds MUCH MUCH better to me, personally. Plus your major sounds way cooler.

omg yes, with zero hesitation! that’s a ludicrous sum of money, I could finally go back to the dentist! 😭

Yes, obviously.

i only had a nightshift job for a relatively short period of time, so my insight is minimal. personally, it mostly felt like being exhausted all the time, bcause the rest of my life refused to make any allowances for the adjustment in my sleep schedule. like, friends still only wanted to hang out when i should have been sleeping? same with setting up appointments, going shopping, etc etc.

otherwise, i felt like if that wasn’t the case, i would have been pretty happy with it. mostly because there were less people overall to interact with in my waking hours, which was nice.

Might be a bit of a stretch, but start a paper mill company! They make a whole town smell REALLY REALLY BAD. During my childhood there was one in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, and it was not a tourist destination at all. Then the paper mill closed and suddenly it WAS a tourist destination.

Also, does Lemmy have an Unethical Pro Life Tips community yet? This question would be perfect there. Also also, don’t rule out criminality so quick!

Social Life in the Insect World by Jean-Henri Fabre

My opinion on them is the same as whatever opinion the sex workers have on them

Fun fact, Kbin is actually where all the big Ks from all the signs went when all the Kmarts shut down. Only, it turns out they were made of meat all along, so the refrigeration costs have been pretty significant… Kbin only runs the social media platform to earn enough money to pay for it all.

A lot of wasps are totally harmless to humans! we have this really cute red stripey kind that constantly flies in figure eights over the ground, trying to detect Japanese Beetle larva to eat, for which I am grateful. I like wasps in general.

well, since taste is subjective and you’re looking for an objective measure, I’m just going to judge on other grounds! I suspect that the vanilla industry is less bad for the environment and has a better track record with labor violations, so vanilla is better.

Now, I didn’t research that first, and I could definitely be wrong… but at least it’s something one can actually be wrong about.

I have zero training in that stuff, but I’m occasionally called upon to do it for my library’s digitization service. It’s kinda fun! Anyway, if you DO have some kinda certification in that, your local public library needs you.

I think cars should be eliminated wherever possible. Regardless, the El Camino is my favorite 😅

lack of curiosity

Well I, for one, am definitely not a chatbot.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I dunno about people in general but I really don’t, it’s garish

i use it pretty exclusively, although it has definitely got some glitches

I haven’t done a lot with it myself yet, but I have noticed that a solid half of the people who interact with my Pixelfed posts are coming from Mastodon. Probably because the hashtags work across the two? I guess?

I dunno what the research says on this, but I bet everyone being like 20% plastic by weight from all the microplastics in the environment hasn’t helped 😅

Seconding the new batteries! That’s my major one.
