Do you recognise any usernames on Lemmy?
Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.
You're viewing part of a thread.
From the link:
A species of oceanic squid can fly more than 30 metres (100 feet) through the air at speeds faster than Usain Bolt if it wants to escape predators, Japanese researchers said Friday.
So, what's chasing you?
From the link:
It’s a squid-eat-squid world down there.
Sounds pretty capitalistic to me.
Do you have a minute to talk about socialism?
Look, I'm all for the squid to control the means of propulsion, but it's hard convincing others...
I'm introducing the theory of an "r-factor" that measures how capitalistic a country is.
r = 0 means pure socialism. Everybody gets the same amount of universal basic income, and earns nothing when they work hard.
r = 1 means pure capitalism. there is no social support programs, and what you earn depends entirely on your labour/wages.
in-between them, there's a linear interpolation.
(i invented that "r-factor" as a thought experiment yesterday, and now i like it.)
i'm for r = 0.5 btw.
