  • It’s true in that almost every food item is made “with science” (university-educated food technicians, biochemists, engineers etc.) these days, but you hardly need science to make common drugs like alcohol, caffeine or nicotine. Coffee and tobacco are just plants, and fruit will spontaneously start fermenting all on their own.











  • The tankie servers are a pretty big part of Lemmy and they’re pretty fucked up, too. I’m not even anti-communist, but that particular brand of leftism is definitely fucked up. They’re only somewhat tolerable because they’re very far from being in power and at least pay lip service to most progressive ideas, but they’re bootlickers just the same.

    The strength of Lemmy is that servers can defederate, and you can personally block entire servers, too (though those personal blocks are rather imperfect).
