  • Cheeks are a part of the human body where the different pheromones are easiest to record. They telll information about the immune system, and hold the “personal smell” that everyone has (and which isn’t really a smell at all, because pheromones are observed with a different system than actual smells are). When you get your nose near someone’s cheek, you record a lot of personal data about them in your subconscious.

    You receive information about how healthy your children would be likely to be, and also your subconscious gets irrefutable proof of “I am currently very close with person ______.”

    Plus the other reasons mentioned here. But the most important one is that it’s a way to get your nose near their cheek.




  • Ohhh!

    And I am also a Lemmy refugee! 🤪

    I mentioned the concentration camps China uses for Uyghurs, and I mentioned them with a rather mild wording. *blam*! Comment deleted! By one of the main people maintaining Lemmy. Hooray. I really didn’t want to play on their sandbox after that.

    Somebody happened to mention Piefed in some /c/ just a couple of days later and now I’m here :)
    Feels much more like home to me! 🙂


  • A Fecesbook refugee :)

    (Okay, there’s one group that is too valuable for me. And another one where people really need help with trying to save the world and I write answers beginning with "yeah, this will work, but there are caveats. I’ll write more on the Fediverse side of our group, here’s the link: ", and then I write a longer text here on Piefed and add the link in the end of my FB comment.)











  • His answer would have been (and this is a fact):
    “Bicycling is extremely good for one’s health. When there are more hills, the health benefits get even bigger. Do you not care of public health? Why are bicyclers not important to you?”

    Most of the time I’ve been arguing with people on moronic SCAFT-based solutions, the reaction has been: “But this was done for safety! You bikers are an impossible and reckless bunch. It’s about your safety, and the safety of all the light traffic

    (“light traffic” is the phrase used to mean the combined pedestrian and bicycle traffic. As opposed to “traffic”. Which is people going to their work and doing other important things.


  • Oh, check this one out. It’s somewhat near to where I work, and used to be on the fastest way to where I used to live :)

    Of course, the photo flattens the climb. But, go along the road and look at the height of that rock, comparing it to the height of a car. They made sure to route the bicycle path over the highest point of the hill. A bit more to the left or right, and there would have been much less hill. Also, along the road, there is a spot where the railings are a bit higher, because there’s a outdoor excercise way passing undeneath the road by a tunnel. Of course, the bicycle path comes back down from the top of that rock to the bottom of that ditch to reach the intersection for the tunnel. And then you climb up again! Hooray!
