This is anecdotal but pretty much all of the lactose intolerant people I know love dairy more than the lactose tolerant people. Something as small as your body not processing milk isn't enough to stop them

Plant: I'm going to evolve a noxious chemical that feels like pure fire on a mammal's taste buds to protect my seeds from them.

Humans:

Humans: Let's breed all these pants together to maximize production of the chemical, invent a rating system to determine which ones have the most, then hold competitions to see who can tolerate the highest levels.

It's the innate desire to defy nature that drives us to our dairy addiction

Yeah… but my wife hates it when I consume cheese… even though they claim it’s lactose free…

Completely spitballing here based on your anecdotal observation, but I know that with lactose-intolerance, you're lacking lactase for processing the lactose, so the lactose makes it unprocessed into the gut, where the gut microbiota then process the lactose and cause the usual symptomes.

Well, and those gut microbiota can signal to your brain that they want more of a given food (source).
So, maybe those bacteria in your gut fucking love lactose, because it is basically sugar, and so they instruct you to self-destruct.

The entire .zip TLD is blocked as a security risk.

Maybe don’t use a domain that looks like a virus payload.

Maybe I'm not technically literate enough to get what you're saying, but these are jpg images

That website domain ends in .zip

The .zip domain is blocked for me because it looks like a virus/malware site.

Nobody legit should be using a .zip website.

Damn, I had no idea difference versions of Lemmy would be blocked because of the domain name. Fucking hell, I just moved from beehaw not too long ago

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s not a Lemmy thing.

It’s a new domain Google introduced over the objections of security experts.

Why would any legit site choose that domain?

It’s like putting your website at virus.com or something.

He's talking about your instance's Top Level Domain (TLD). Mine is .pt and yours is .zip.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Literally build different.

They had a gourmet cheese tasting in a luxury hotel in Beijing some years ago; it was treated with the same kind of combination of curiosity, wonder and mild horror that the west would regard, say, fermented shark or sheep’s eyeballs with.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Now that's an analogy I can understand.

I say, let's top these things with melted cheese, so that all people face the buffet with the same feelings. 🤤🤨🤤🤨🤤🤨

Anger and disgust look like they should be switched to me.

Btw, there's a batch of people on the westcoast of africa who developed lactose tolerance indepently. Seems it happens all the time, if a community relies heavily on livestock.

I mean, if it's "milk or death", evolution, uh, finds a way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

More a case of respective genes being conveniently exposed on the strang.

As an Indian, I love my dairy taste. I have an ick for anti-dairy extremists that try to push their "eww its meant for cows" bullshit agenda.
