Of course people hypothesized continents have drifted, but that wasn’t widely accepted until a mechanism of how that could have happened was proposed. I don’t think xkcd was suggesting that nobody had the idea of continental drift before 1967, just that it wasn’t the consensus.

Technology@lemmy.world•Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grantsEnglish
4·19 hours agoI don’t get you people. The founder of FUTO literally platforming a fascist is beyond just purity test level of bad.
I can call Eron out for being a supporter of fascists, while using FUTO keyboard because it doesn’t spy on me, that’s perfectly fine. I don’t get why using their keyboard means you have to defend the horrible position held by the people behind it. Sounds like cognitive dissonance.

Work Reform@lemmy.world•Dear British people. It's time to pay attention 🇬🇧
7·3 days agoAnd what are the UK leftists doing? Are they calling parliament members every day? Are they signing petitions? Are they lobbying Lords? Nope. They aren’t doing anything. Except whining and saying Starmer is evil
OK, where are you getting that from? how do you know they are doing nothing? you are antagonizing people who are on your side for no reason.

6·3 days agoit’s a 2 way street.
this is false equivalence. employers generally have much more power than the employees. this is what workers’ rights is about - to bring more power to the workers to create a more level playing field.
so this law wouldn’t affect them.
a law doesn’t have to work in all cases to be a useful law.
Holy hell this post is whatever but OP’s comments are wild. Legit looks like she needs to get some help from a psychiatrist…

Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla's Full Self-Driving software under investigation after railroad incidentsEnglish
2·12 days agoWe don’t look at car features in isolation. e.g. seatbelt or airbag could cause injuries too in a crash, but we have them because it’s better than not having them.
In the same token self driving doesn’t have to be perfect, it just need to be better than humans. I don’t know what Tesla’s number looks like, just speaking generally.







It’s more like king of the lizard kings.
