Of course it seems wrong when you say it like that.

They'll be wearing stylish pool noodles on the tusks to minimize furniture and gonad damage.

Or we create them with softer tusks. Maybe that's better, the. They'll also be worthless to poachers.

Those are closer to horse-sized, but it's a good start.

I've said this a million times before, but if we're playing gods anyway, can't we make them dog sized also?

I would totally get one or maybe two.

This is probably produced by the same content farms that generate similar news about the impending death of EVs due to miraculous advances in hydrogen powered vehicles.

Obviously there are no sources and the only images are either unrelated or AI generated.

As to you question "why does anyone read this stuff?" I believe people love stuff that confirms their hopes and are more than willing to compromise on any level of skepticism, when reading stuff that aligns with their views.

That can't be right. I keep seeing "suggested posts" on Facebook claiming that Honda and/or Toyota has made a revolutionary breakthrough with hydrogen engines, which will finally allow us to get rid of all those damned electric cars.

It's literally any day now.

This is good news for bot farms working to sow division.

What? Sweden don't have scouts? My daughter was on a scout camp there last year and I believe there were swedish scouts also.

Regardless, in Denmark we have a few scout organizations. One of them KFUM (which would translate to the same as YMCA) which is the christian boy's scouting org, that also allows girls, and the similar one for girls that don't allow boys. Both of them has Christianity as a pretty foundational thing and most of the clubhouses are in or near churches and they have church services on camps and shit. Then there's DDS (dark blue uniforms) and they're not connected to any faith, but are still committed to the "spiritual development" of the scout. However this can be done in other ways than inflicting religion on children. In 1973 they merged the boy and girl scouts, so it's just one thing now. The yellow scouts branched from DDS in the 80's, with a mission to go back to more traditional scouting values. Not sure what that means, but they're a also non-religious and non-political organization.

Finally there's some Danish Baptist scouts but I don't know much about them other than they're likely a more religious variant of KFUM, attached to another christian flavor.

Yes, will the injustices ever stop? Here's a great article about it.

I don't mind that other users have this option. I'm not worried about them. It's all the expected shenanigans of the companies that'll remove their apps from the store I don't much like.

I'm using Voyager browse and interact with Lemmy. It looks more or less exactly like Apollo and it's a webapp. There's a few small things that's not exactly as a native app, like double tapping the top of a scrolling window to scroll to top, but it's really minor. I bet most people wouldn't know it was a webapp if they weren't told.

It even works with the sharing intent so I can share to native apps. Pretty awesome.
