food, Rochester 

@pamela ahh i love a good farm share

@pamela we’ll start a church of bureaucratic efficiency

@maya well, or support other people financially tho i would be a bit surprised if that was gen z’s reasoning

@maya @kottke my parents bought their current house in their mid thirties, after their second kid and had minimal educational debt to pay off. I’m lucky enough to also have minimal educational debt but I just straight up can’t afford to even rent in some of the neighborhoods my cousins grew up in bc of the way housing prices have skyrocketed locally. I think millennials responded by setting lower goals, and I think gen z prob will too if you give them ten years but also that seems kinda shitty and awful, idk

@maya @kottke so if you click through the study was only on legal adults (so 18+)

i think whats happening here is these are kids who are in college or just graduated with a large amount of college debt & who grew up being told that to be financially successful is to own your own house, have a decent car, etc. And they’re looking at how much they’d have to earn to pay off their loans and buy a house anytime soon and coming back with 600k which…yeah is still prob higher than it needs to be (esp if you live somewhere with a more moderate CoL) but not as insane as it initially looks?

@Betty truly just ductape and “eh it’ll work for now i guess” all the way down

@Betty i was just about to quote this same paper 😂
«Chromosome painting reveals a meiotic chain of nine sex chromosomes in the male echidna and establishes their order in the chain. Two of those differ from those in the platypus, three of the platypus sex chromosomes differ from those of the echidna and the order of several chromosomes is rearranged.»
the fact that they have similar numbers of chromosomes but several of them are unique to either the platypus of the echidna is wild imo

@Betty we will never know the ineffable secrets of the platypussy

@Betty pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/ claims that all platypi are either xx*5 or xy*5 rather than there being like, as many options as you would expect from “ten sex chromosomes”

and also, some of their sex chromosomes look like the ones in birds, which is WILD

@platypus yeah thats one where we really shoulda just stuck with the original latin, calvaria makes it much easier to parse

@ljwrites maybe you accidentally double added one of the books, and it was supposed to mean they’d removed the extra copy of that book? idk v odd

@ljwrites huh i was able to get all ten books at once without issue a few days ago, i wonder what changed

@brainwane @Betty my guess is mascot for the metropolitan museum of art

@platypus yeah i am not emotionally or physically prepared for snow and neither is my garden 😅

@platypus i am still in the “just glad its raining at all” phase
