Don't need the homeless. You can pluck a hair, donate your blood, or even take a plug of your foreskin if you have one, to generate the neural stem cells from iPSC, the cell type they use in this process.

It's been around a year since a lot of us quit Reddit, myself included. I'm happy with Lemmy, but I still feel a bit lost online since leaving the old site. Discussion? in c/reddit

Holy crap! It's been a year and I forgot about the advertising I had to ignore every 3 posts. Thank you for reminding me lol.

Humans are basically just another massive asteroid hitting earth. And just as mindless.

K, riffing on rain. Sorry, on a tangent, but this will work for me:

Purple Rain" by Prince "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" by Creedence Clearwater Revival "Rain" by The Beatles "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" by Bob Dylan "Here Comes the Rain Again" by Eurythmics "I Can't Stand the Rain" by Ann Peebles "Rainy Night in Georgia" by Brook Benton "Rain King" by Counting Crows

Only one missing is the REM song.

Ok. This is a perfect start to a playlist. I've never heard the Ann Peebles song.

Hi Satan

What would it take for you to stop using the internet or go minimalist on the usage? in c/asklemmy

I already actively avoid the shithole that is YouTube, as in I refuse to follow a link if it's YouTube and Google another path for what I need. Stopped Reddit, my only social media app last June, and now only on Lemmy a couple, the times per week. 5-10 years ago I used to complain about how bad Google was getting, little did I know how truly useless it would get.
