No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the point of specifically Americans identifying with other cultures if people born there will just make fun of them for it?English
1·1 month agoI was always proud to from the USA up until W and the Iraq war. My pride has been flagging ever since.
Having said that, to find out what it means to be US American, one has to know one’s heritage. This, of course, will be different for each individual but my heritage is one of the most common, that being ancestors from the British Isles and Germany. That does not diminish, in my mind, the contributions of other cultures. Those other cultures, particularly African and Spanish, help contribute to making me now different from my British/German heritage, thus American. There are many of my heritage who want to pretend other influences don’t exist. They forget … E Pluribus Unum - Out of Many One.

Didn’t smell like cat pee when I visited and there were many cats. A couple were on that bed. Some were on shelves in the gift store. Basically, they’re everywhere.

5·2 months agoBecause pro-asbestos and anti-seatbelt people existed, but they didn’t have megaphones to reach the whole world.
Here’s the question: Idiots and wise people both have this megaphone to reach the world. Why do the idiots seem to succeed much more often?

9·2 months agoWell, there used to be a thing where you would put your child in the way of mumps because a child getting mumps is much less severe than an adult. There may have been other such diseases that it was better to have as a child than as an adult.
This was before vaccines which basically does the same thing.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does cats (and similar animals) can live with the exact same food every day, but we (humans) need a variety of food to survive?English
5·2 months agoWildcats (tigers, lions, bobcats, etc) will take down a prey animal. We think they just eat the muscle. In reality, they often go for the stomach of the herbivore they just brought down to get the vegetable matter there. Then they eat other internal organs (liver, spleen, kidneys) so they aren’t just eating muscle.
For our pets, well, we all know they don’t eat the same thing every day. Firstly, the the thing they do eat every day, pet food, has various nutrients included so it’s a balanced meal for them. Secondly, we give them treats which may or may not be beneficial.
As for we humans wanting variety, it’s exactly that. We want but don’t need as much variety as we get. We enjoy the different flavors even if the items containing those flavors aren’t exactly good for us (twinkies, 8 year scotch, etc). Our pets and wild carnivores don’t get the opportunity to try these other flavors (well, our pets get some opportunity but not to the extent we have granted ourselves).

7·2 months agoThere used to be a satirical musical group called the Capitol Steps that sang a song called “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran” sung to the tune of the Beach Boys Barbara Ann. This was at 20 years ago. Unfortunately, Covid killed the group (as in made it no longer viable because people quit coming to see them, not actually killing them).
I wish they’d try to make a comeback.
