What a great explanation! I hadn’t heard it called a library economy before, but it’s a perfect word for it. I joined an anarchist federation in my community and we were able to share things like food/meals, clothing, mental health support, even housing (kinda) all for free whenever someone needs it. Thinking of the whole as a library is incredibly fitting, especially because we had supplies outside on an old bookshelf at one point.

just adding to rockSlayer’s excellent points, very roughly the word anarchy means without leaders (not necessarily without rules or organisation), just like monarchy roughly means “a single ruler” (mon/mono + archy).

The common understanding of anarchy was largely ruined by propaganda and it’s often conflated with concepts belonging to conservative and far right ideologies like anarcho-capitalism or conservative/free market libertarianism.

Don’t go eating random mushrooms, IDing them is hard and you can easily die!!! There are look alike species and it can be hard to tell them apart.

That said I’ve eaten it before, they’re quite a nice flavour when fried.

If it’s an amanita muscaria, they are somewhat poisonous but they’re also definitely psychoactive (I can’t remember if they’re hallucinogenic or a deliriant but it might be dose dependant). There are species of amanita that are incredibly poisonous, but the red capped muscaria can be dried or parboiled to be rendered relatively safe.

I personally wouldn’t eat them trying to get high, there are better mushrooms with safer and much more fun things in them.

you’re literally starting a thread looking for a fight, while complaining about people fighting. this is amazingly pathetic, I think you should reflect on your life choices.

You’re being unnecessarily rude to people, and acting like an entitled ass. You don’t get to control the conversation, refuse to engage with what people say, insult them when they disagree with you and whine about people not wanting to have a “discussion.”

You are a hypocrite. My empirical evidence is this thread.

They don’t really control mosquito populations that much. Dragon flies prefer fresh permanent bodies of water (I think usually flowing too), whereas mosquito larvae inhabit stagnant pools.

I should probably mention that a fountain code isn’t a barcode like a QR or JAB code, they’re a way to do error correction which can be applied to sequences of barcodes

there’s a bunch of open source (and abandoned) repos on GitHub that do this using fountain codes, fascinating stuff but not all that good, they have huge limits on the transfer rate. I recalling seeing some that use JAB codes which cram more data into each code using colours, not sure how much better they’d be than this though.

I quit my software job and now I’m broke and studying horticulture lol
I haven’t been this consistently happy in years

It’s satire, but it’s not fake, it does exactly what it says it does.

If you don’t put small holes in the bubble wrap pasta, you could make a fun kind of pasta that explodes while cooking, sending boiling water everywhere and burning everyone in the kitchen
