Wait, are people censoring the word “kidnap” now?

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 68 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'd support a Lemmy-wide ban on posts with pro-advertiser censorship.

Gotta be one of the most annoying aspects of the modern internet. God forbid a child reads the word "suicide".

Y*s, that’s a very aggressive w*rd.

no they're farming for engagement from people like you, and then with people like me explaining the tech

[–] brb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

Just more reasons to ban them here

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

lol farming for engagement on lemmy? One of the, like, 10,000 people worldwide trying to get points that aren’t even counted? Doubtful

Oh I don't know man it doesn't even register with me anymore

[–] BMW_stick@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I COMPLETELY get it. And if anyone succeeds, I'll kidnap them in a heartbeat.

This is exactly why nobody has announced they've cured aging. The scientists are all afraid of being kidnapped.

A thing that keeps me from believing in any conspiracy theory about aging having been cured and only being reserved for the powerful is because of people like Elon, Bezos, Trump, and O'Connell. They're each powerful in their own way, and none of them are aging gracefully. O'Connell looks like the fucking Pale Man.

Seriously. Nobody's seen these two in the same room at the same time. Coincidence? I think not.

For years I've read about scientists creating a bacteria that would live in our mouth and produce stuff that would kill cavity-causing bacteria, and how it was almost ready. If we nabbing scientists, I'm tempted to get one of them.

"You get a scientist, and you get a scientist... everyone gets a scientist!"

With my luck, I'd get a mycologist or something.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

Listen, if any branch of science is going to crack immortality, it's the mycologists, 100%. Mushrooms are really, really, really fucking weird.

Dammit this story is fake. I was hoping she had succeeded.
