OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Like us, I wonder if other animals are kept awake by embarrassing memories6·2 months agoLmao that’s amazing. If I were that person I’d had found it funny. Hopefully it’s not too embarrassing a memory for you!
OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Like us, I wonder if other animals are kept awake by embarrassing memories2·2 months agoThat’s fascinating. Does an animal finding an item they buried a week ago not constitute an episodic memory? Considering they’d basically have to retrace their steps. Is ‘remembering the relevant information’ not akin to memory of an event?
OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders)3·2 months agoCouldn’t you ask them to give you gift cards for places you might visit?
OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders)7·2 months agoI think it’s mostly social convention - i.e. sometimes it’s not the ‘done thing’ to give someone money as it shows a lack of thoughtfulness perhaps. Gift cards are stopgap that make it look like you’ve put some effort into a gift.
OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders)2·2 months agoYes that’s a good point, we need the early adopters to buy the games when they come out so companies can make their money. But still… in terms of pre-orders why not just wait until it’s been released and see what reviews are like first? 🤔

OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A single tuna (once canned) will be eaten across the world at different times, potentially years apart5·5 months agoOh I missed that! But wait, where you can buy half an avocado? Why would you only want half?
OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A single tuna (once canned) will be eaten across the world at different times, potentially years apart4·5 months agoAh no, I’ve seen the logo before and there’s a report about it here: https://www.msc.org/docs/default-source/uk-files/msc-uk-tuna-shopper-report-2023.pdf?sfvrsn=5309aa2f_7
OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A single tuna (once canned) will be eaten across the world at different times, potentially years apart4·5 months agoThat’s really insightful, thanks!
Interesting, I suppose a single fish then would generally be shared by a single ‘community’ around whichever store sold those cans. But other fish caught at the same time could potentially be sent to another country entirely.
In terms of waste, I meant more at the consumer level. Seeing as cans last such a long time I’m guessing the wastage would be a lot lower than other more perishable foods…
OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A single tuna (once canned) will be eaten across the world at different times, potentially years apart1·5 months agoHmm looking at the can I got from Aldi in the UK, it says ‘responsibly sourced’ (whatever that means) but doesn’t have an MSC certification. I’ll see if I can find cans that do in future!
OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A single tuna (once canned) will be eaten across the world at different times, potentially years apart2·5 months agoThis video seems to suggest that quite a lot of the process is manual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt3SbqYAbf4
People deboning, sorting it and so on. It’s not entirely clear but yeah they seem to load hunks of meat in which I guess a machine then places into cans.
OmegaMouse@pawb.socialOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A single tuna (once canned) will be eaten across the world at different times, potentially years apart3·5 months agoPossibly, but it’s always been quite hard to tell. Whenever I get cans it’s always in tiny flakes so I guess that could be from multiple tunas if one can needed a top-up etc.

Hhhhmmm my initial assumption was that the cells in your donated testicles would eventually be replaced by those with the host’s DNA. But apparently I’m wrong - after transplants you have to take immunosuppressants because the donated organs stay genetically foreign for the rest of your life. So yes, it seems like the sperm would carry your genes.
