I have Aspergers, how can I make sense of the world?
  • In what way?

    Politics? Human behaviour? Nature? Gravity?

    I just read a lot, if I have a specific question about a behaviour i witnessed, I google it and read Reddit and quora threads about how people explain this behaviour, then go with the most logical or most frequent answer as a probable explanation

  • The weight of different breeds of chicken over their lifespan
  • Also pugs, or Scottish fold cats… and those are creatures we love and keep as pets, not even livestock, and we still do it

  • Deadliest predators invade popular tourist spot weeks before summer
  • Invade, really?

    “Apex predator that rarely approaches humans spends time in its natural habitat which it occupied for millions of years prior to the existence of humans”

  • Dunes vs Star Wars
  • Yeah

  • Any idea what happened to the second strawberry pot?
  • How cold does it get over winter? The smaller, shallower container with less leaf cover may have been winter killed. Alternatively, with the dark plastic, it may be heating up and drying out faster now that it is spring. Does the soil feel dryer in it quicker or anything?

  • Uuhhh... help with new cat meeting old cat, or soothe me please
  • Yeah you really did not introduce them the right way. You should start over and do it properly, but first you should take him to the vet to get checked for contagious diseases that can be fatal to cats as you would not want to spread it to yours. They can also check for a microchip in case he is a lost pet.

    After that, you need to set aside a room that is not important or favoured by your cat Anya, and designate that as his room. You should also give Anya a space where he is not allowed to go at all so she feels she has a safe space from the intruder. Here is some instructions how to do this properly, it may take weeks or longer for them both to be comfortable:

    There are lots of similar instructions available. But you always start with them separate, then bring them something with the scent of the other one like a blanket (not pee or litterbox), then allow brief visual contact with a barrier, allow them to explore eachothers space when the other one is confined somewhere else, and then allow them to meet and interact while supervised, then allow them to interact unsupervised. Each stage can take anywhere from hours to weeks, but you cannot proceed to the next step until they are both completely comfortable. Cats are easily stressed at times and can stop eating or peeing and this can cause serious harm to their health or even be fatal.

  • What was made beautiful?
  • I have not thought that I may be the only one to notice intentional human made instances of forgotten beauty, though it is an interesting idea. I do often think the beauty of certain aspects of nature is frequently overlooked, though… not your basic flowers or classically beautiful things, but the beauty of death and resilience and futility.

  • gotta do it
  • The liberal party in Canada campaigned on election reform and then when they got elected said ah actually nah that doesn’t really benefit us sorry

  • Am I the only person who doesn't like memes?
  • So you don’t like anything new? Yea that’s weird, there are objectively beneficial new things like technological and medical advancements, social things like being accepting of gay people, etc..

  • My cat, Blue before he was tragically attacked by something last week.
  • I hope your boy gets better. And hopefully you are able to keep him indoors where he is safer once he recovers!

  • Not as expected
  • But captive axolotls are not really true axolotls, they are different from the near extinct wild ones (they have a bit of tiger salamander mixed in). And this really only holds true if people breed their wild-caught aquatic animals - otherwise you are just grabbing a living being from its home and putting it in a tiny cage. There is a place for wild caught fish, but it doesn’t seem very kind to remove them from their habitat to languish in an aquarium for a fraction of their normal lifespan, which is undoubtedly what happens a lot..

  • Threat of violence emailed to schools, do you keep your kid at home?
  • Are you in the USA? If so it’s probably not crazy to err on the side of caution

    (I am not a dad)

  • How do you find motivation when it's not there?
  • I often just fail until it gets embarrassingly or super inconveniently bad. My only strategy that was ever even a little helpful was breaking the task into tiny micro 5 minute tasks and writing them all down, and doing a few of those at a time. I had adhd though, and am hoping medication will help with that (so far it has a bit).

  • We should have an "Elon is a gaping asshole" community.
  • It’s called enoughmuskspam

  • catfish'd
  • I live for your memes

  • Would you watch earth form from nothing to this day for a million dollars?
  • I’m pretty sure you would go very crazy alone in a chair for 4 billion years

  • Is it a bad idea to introduce a new kitten to a house where there is already an older cat?
  • As others have said, you need to take your cat not peeing very very seriously, it can quickly become a several thousand dollar surgery or ICU stay, and it can even be fatal, if your cat is that stressed I think you need to temporarily remove the kitten at least and try again more gradually and with the advice others have given. But for now you need to take your cat to the vet asap.

  • How do we actually get out of this climate disaster?
  • Not having kids is also huge

  • How much longer do you think society has until the collapse and what will be the reason?
  • Race and society aren’t the same thing, a society doesn’t collapse just because the makeup of races shifts one way or the other. The best and brightest procreating thing (eugenics light) is also not new at all.

    You’re not 100% wrong in all aspects of your answer or anything but your weird vaguely racists takes don’t make sense and seem a bit shitty

  • Requesting community !fossils

    The community !fossils was created over a month ago, no activity since. The creator/mod has had no activity on their account for the last month as well. I messaged them over a week ago to request to mod the community and got no response.

    This user is also parking several other empty communities which I am not personally interested in moderating, but may be nice to free them up for someone who is?

    Thanks!

    Do you value a little chaos?

    Are you prone to switching out of the calm, logical, and reserved robot mode, and becoming excited, chaotic, and silly? I definitely spend more time in the former, but value the expression of the latter highly.

    In terms of MBTI, these would be expressions of the 2 most dominant cognitive functions of us INTP, introverted thinking (Ti) and extroverted intuition (Ne). It is important for me to have freedom to express the Ne side of myself, but it definitely doesn’t please everyone, and it can be difficult to find people who will have fun and play along with you to your hearts content. It is definitely possible to express Ne alone, generating ideas and possibilities for problems or projects of your own. But when used for comedy and absurdity, it really is so much fun to engage in.

    How do you meet this need, if it is something you consider important? If you don’t consider it important, why not?

    Test meme please ignore

    If anyone is watching this community, does it appear that the other two meme posts got deleted, and the two text posts remain accessible? I can no longer see them in my post history or in !intp, not sure what happened but it may be something to do with lemmy.world upgrades
