Be nice.

Jesus Christ. Just be nice.

Why is no one on Lemmy nice.

My bologna has a first name…

Try the pasta…

I’m glad you asked. Mind if I ask you how old are you, and where are you from?

Fine, but why is this here?

Duct tape, as in the grey fiber reinforced tape that we typically think of, is not really a good solution for actually taping ducts.

When you are taping ducts, you typically want to use some type of foil thing, like this, but there are many varieties.

Of course, tape for ducts is, kinda, duct tape by definition. As you can see by how it’s categorized on the home despot site.

And you can reuse them, especially for something like this.

It’s hard to communicate with pithy texts only. I misunderstood.

I agree that the renaming effort is an over reaction trying to be more DEI for no apparent benefit.

Do you think artists should be able to name their works?

Why shouldn’t scientists also be able to name their works?

that is so incorrect that it has a Wikipedia article

I’ll warm up the probulator.

You actually seem to have got it.

Here’s a better source that suggests that they are interested in changing birds named after people, rather than birds named after slurs. It’s linked in this article. I really hope that shames op. We need to be better.

Whether or not those people were bigots, they were probably white and male. Same as the anatomists that named the lady parts.

There’s just a tradition of the first person to scientifically describe a “thing” getting to name it.

It’s not great, but people that get to travel the world describing species and knowing enough to scientifically describe lady parts, etc are not poor people, at least until post war science. They still would have been mostly white and male, but they wouldn’t have had to be as much independently wealthy.

This is a terrible source, as is Lemmy tradition.

Here’s a better source I really wish that op would have been better about that. It’s linked in the article they linked.

It appears that they are concerned with the tradition that the first person that scientifically describes the species gets to name it.

And, well, those people have been white.

Damn. I knew I could do better. I was thinking hard, but this is a great one.

It’s not your day, your week, your month, or even your star date.

Convection is a fan that runs in your oven.

Right. No one has been lying about this.

Everyone should know that being around burning things is bad. It’s not like the actual food you’re cooking is not also putting these things in the air, even on an electric stove…

Right. The point is they didn’t even try to test it.

That took far too long for humanity to figure that out.
