English spelling wasn’t even remotely standardized at that time. So phonetic was pretty much all there was

I’m not Christian, so I don’t have a view on what interpretations are “correct.” But if I might ask, how did you come to the conclusion that your interpretation is the right one?

In some Christianity. Many define it in terms of disobeying God, which can conflict pretty badly with the not-being-a-dick thing depending on interpretation

It would only take 11 decimal digits though. Sadly, an uneven 36 in binary

Don’t know the last time you updated, but Inkscape layers got an overhaul in 1.2, released about a year ago. Still not perfect, but a massive upgrade from how they used to be

Our idea of a week can probably be traced back directly to early Israelite religion. There’s good evidence of a 7-day cycle by the 6th century BCE, maybe as early as the 9th. They cared which day was which because the 7th day was a holy day of rest (still practiced as Shabbat), matching up with the supposed final day of creation. Jews have been keeping this practice for a very long time, so I would guess that we’re still aligned with the days the ancient Israelites were following that they thought matched up with the days of creation. Unfortunately, the exact nature of what day they decided was which is lost to time.

Bunny ears aren’t a problem! The resulting knot is the same as a standard shoelace knot. If your shoes are coming untied a lot, you probably are tying granny instead of square. Make sure that if you cross one way on the base crossing (like left over right), you cross the other way for the bunny ears step (like right over left). All the info in the link applies to bunny ears.

Federation would also mean that you could use your account from threads to comment or post on Lemmy. So a Threads user links to a Lemmy post, the post could blow up with users who aren’t familiar with the culture here. I think a lot of people aren’t saying it, but they’re worried about their cool, new favorite platform getting swamped with “normies.”

My grandpa used to brag that he could always tell you the time to within 3 minutes if you asked. Meanwhile my ADHD makes me utterly time blind

How many of those forcibly displaced and nearly wiped out the previous “owners”?
