If you could create a new religion, what would you include to make it wholesome, interesting and helpful for the world?
  • Nothing is True Everything is Permitted

    Origin

    This idiomatic expression originates from Friedrich Nietzsche, the famous philosopher who wrote the phrase in his 1859 book, "The Geneology of Morals." However, Nietzsche attributes the phrase's origin to Hassan-i-Sabbah, the leader of the historical Assassins. This sect was a part of Isma'ili and Shia Islam. However, there is no verified proof of these claims.

    Maybe not the best source https://english-grammar-lessons.com/nothing-is-true-everything-is-permitted-meaning/

  • Top 10 Misconceptions About the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
  • I remember you could Download a small program to help seti. By allocation of a "small" part of your computer power they analysed resources radio waves (if i remember correctly). Anyone remembers this as well?

    In hind sight: damn the 90s were cool. Your parents had no idea what to do with a computer and i could explore the internet and do all kinds stupid stuff. Maybe downloaded a couple of early virussen, trojans and useful extra "ask! buttons"

    So yeah anyway, thanks for the trip through memory lane

  • The 2 Billion Year Old Nuclear Reactors In Africa Baffle Researchers!
  • Some scientists and theorists believe that the reactor is extremely advanced, suggesting that highly intelligent beings existed 2 billion years ago. While another hypothesis is that it was constructed by prehistoric human civilization (like described in the Silurian Hypothesis by NASA scientists) using techniques that were lost to subsequent humans.

    However, most of the mainstream researchers believe that Oklo is the world’s only identified naturally occurring reactor which was created by accident. As scientists Norman Schwers and John A. Miller from Sandia National Laboratories explain in a 2017 paper, the concept of a naturally occurring reactor was originally documented in 1956 using reactor theory or the infinite multiplication constants.

  • Iocane
  • Ok so i am new to this https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/really-build-immunity-iocane-powder-162927341.html?guccounter=1

    DOES SOMETHING LIKE IOCANE EXIST? As previously noted, iocane is a made-up poison, invented for the story.

    Like iocane, arsenic doesn’t have a taste or an odor, and it can be dissolved in liquid.

    The major difference between arsenic and iocane powder — and it is admittedly a big difference — is that arsenic doesn’t kill immediately.

    When it comes to arsenic, our real-world allegory of iocane powder, it doesn’t appear as though you can build up a tolerance through increasing low-level exposure.

    A community located in a village in the Andes appears to have adapted a genetic tolerance to arsenic over the course of thousands of years

  • Why physicists now question the fate of the Universe
  • Perhaps dark energy isn’t truly a constant, after all. Perhaps it is something that changes and evolves with time. If so, our cosmic fate could dramatically differ from what we typically suppose. If dark energy strengthens and becomes more negative with time, it could lead to a Big Rip. If it weakens and becomes more positive, it could potentially stop the Universe from accelerating and may even revive the possibility that we’ll recollapse and end in a Big Crunch.

  • Generating not existing sources

    Dear all!

    As I am quite new to all this, maybe a very noob question. I prompted bing, bard and chatgpt (3.5) with the same question. Bing just straight up answered different questions but delivered sources I could check. Bard and chatgpt answered my questions but just invented (all) sources. Just made up randomised authors and title names. Bard delivered links to said scientific articles, but when you followed the link the articles in question were completely different.

    1. How can you I trust delivered results, when the sources are made up?

    2. And also: why? Why didn't it say for example there are no meta-analyses?

    3. is it better in the payed version from chatgpt?

    Thanks in advance!

    Switch Spines on Lemmy or kbin?

    Question: can we set up something similar as the Reddit Switch Spines community? I truly like my colourful spines but I have no idea how to get this thing started!

    Btw posting this from Lemmy on kbin feels old school cool

    Defederate from threads/meta

    Hi guys,

    So I maybe have a major noob question. But with threads and meta joining the fediverse, and instances should (could/shouldn't/will or will not) defederate from them... Is there something that I, as a simple user, can of should do?

    Update Ok so lemmy.world just posted this https://lemmy.world/post/1274909

    Saying they are going to wait and see.

    To be honest, I don't trust meta for one bit so maybe it is time to switch server

    Update 2 I liked this post https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

    Update 3 Apparently I can't migrate my account (yet)...
