I often stick to spaces where assholes are less prevalent, but misogyny is still a daily experience even when I forget the bubble wrap.

It’s great that the instance I’m on is smart enough to include the word in the slur filter. It’s too bad that it doesn’t block the comments that use it and the assholes who defend it from having their drivel federate.

It’s not virtue signaling to be opposed to the pervasive misogyny on lemmy.

Snuffleupagus is always disappointed by casual misogyny.

Don’t be a disappointment to Snuffleupagus.

You have ZERO PROOF that was Snuffleupagus and NOT the Cookie Monster!

My lawyers are preparing a defamation lawsuit as we speak.

I tried to use this image from another article as the thumbnail/banner, but it turns out that only shows up on .ml

A couple choice quotes in case you neither clicked through nor read the transcription, but decided to check out the comment(s):

Of course, “discovery” is a loaded word. Many animals and plants described by Western science were already known to Indigenous peoples and local communities.

Conservation laws, threatened species lists and monitoring programs usually work at the species level. If several species are mistakenly treated as one, a declining species can be hidden inside a larger group that looks secure.

As we stand at the precipice of Earth’s sixth mass extinction, this has never been more important.

Recognising hidden biodiversity does not solve conservation problems by itself.

Uhh.

I didn’t?

“Why isn’t <country from global south> doing a better job saving the world from the global north?” is a super common conservation trope, so seeing an article that’s the opposite of that is a breath of fresh air.

For once we aren’t burdening the global south with the responsibility to save the world from the global north

It does a decent job of being just realistically evil enough if you skim too quickly - there will definitely be people genuinely offering services like this in the not to distant future if real ones aren’t already out there.

It’ll be a maintenance and security nightmare for anyone who genuinely relies on it, though.

I’m not watching a video. I’ve seen it before and tried it out on a project manifest just to see. It’s not real.

Testimony from companies/people like:

Former CTO, Definitely Real Corp

Patricia Bottomline

Chad Stockholder

Because it’s satire

Not watching the video, but yes, malus.sh itself is satire, even if what they’re satirizing is real enough.

Isn’t the entire point of AGPL to not be weak?

Azambuja tested the isolated effects of warming and exposure to the insecticide methomyl — an extremely toxic substance used in crops, with high water solubility — on tadpoles from two species

On the one hand, yes testing is how scientists prove the harmfulness, but did we really need to test that to figure it out?

A search by Mongabay found 9,062 scientific articles on Amazonian amphibians published in the last 10 years

Be glad (or better yet, sad) they didn’t give me links or y’all would have nonstop frog posts for the next 20 days or so.

considered “disgusting” by society, these little frogs

What. The. FUCK.

Come and fight me. I will bite you.

Because of its striking appearance, the rare butterfly is also in demand for home décor, framed and hung on the wall. It’s part of a massive trade that includes more than 3,700 butterfly species the world over, mostly coming from the Global South. They’re bought primarily by consumers in the U.S. and Europe

2% of the animal protein consumed in all of Europe […] provides an estimated social value of €2.46 billion per year.

Sooo that shouldn’t have been a positive offset against the environmental harm done

Look, I don’t know who decided that should be named anything other than :enbee:, so I’m not exactly pointing any fingers or anything, but y’all need to oust them ASAP.
