Science@beehaw.org•Scientists Are Making Concrete With Human Poop – And It Gets 42% Stronger
9·1 month agoSo if you add carrots into concrete with poop, it will become even more stronger?
https://www.dezeen.com/2018/08/09/carrots-concrete-stronger-lancaster-university-technology/
Concrete mixtures could be strengthened by adding nanoparticles extracted from carrots and other root vegetables, research currently underway at England’s Lancaster University suggests.
Preliminary tests by the university’s engineers found that “nano platelets” sourced from the fibres of these vegetables “significantly improved” the strength of concrete — and at a low cost.
So this FediHood looks like to be similar to Jodel, “the hyperlocal community” app that is popular here in Finland, or Yik Yak that served as its inspiration. Good thing! Some time ago I thought that a Fediverse version of that app would be great. Might as well try to establish some Finnish prescence on FediHood, because why not?
By the way, that markdown link isn’t working, I am getting an error page on my home instance.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•openmic.social — a new open-discourse instance that doesn't shadowbanEnglish
2·2 months agoOkay, I say that is a lot more concise definition for what you’re aiming for. When a website declares to be for “free speech”, it carries a certain connotation these days. Look what Twitter has become after it got bought by Elon Musk and turned into a “free speech website” for example. And good that a line has been drawn so that bigotry isn’t allowed.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Update-> I Was Banned Comments blocked on the Ukraine community for being considered "Rule 3"?English
122·2 months agoRegarding the decision, it’s quite a stretch to claim @supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz being a Nazi. The idea was criticism towards Israel, and apparently it got misinterpreted as antisemitism.
Looks like I have to explain what’s the reasoning behind the rule 3. I didn’t want to make a long list of exact kind of behaviors and organizations that are not allowed on Sopuli and clutter the sidebar. Instead I listed several known bad movements so that the users could get a good picture of what kinds of people are not wanted here. Nazis, incels and QAnon, they all share a really warped and hostile view of the world that is black-and-white, and violence has been associated with all of them. And “similar whackos” can be found by looking at what the ADL and CDDH for example list as hate groups.
I don’t think I use the word “Nazi” in a too broad sense like on Lemmygrad or Hexbear. In those places a Nazi can be anyone supporting Ukraine or a social democrat for example.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Tesseract dev injects malicious code into browser to illegally DDOS the dbzer0 instanceEnglish
1201·3 months agoI could understand hardcoded blacklists if Tesseract was meant as a frontend for a Lemmy instance tailored for a specific purpose, and not intended for general use. But this, to DDOS a website because the developer is a whiny baby who can’t take criticism? This is a new low. This is disgusting, and damaging for the Lemmyverse as whole.

2·3 months agoI’m referring to the Web0 manifesto coined by Aral Balkan.
web0 is the decentralised web. In other words, web0 is web3 without all the corporate right-libertarian Silicon Valley bullshit.

63·3 months agoA frontend should be a frontend. The decisions of what to blacklist should be up to the frontend’s user. Stupid decision on the developer’s part.

Nope. Communities are central to Lemmy. You can of course edit your own profile description if you want.

I wouldn’t watch it anyways, I got tired of Harry Potter in the early 2000s.
