Before college I could read and retain the information at a rate of 600-800 pages in 4-6 hours. partly youth fueled, partly free time fueled. Now it can take me a few months to read a book half that size mostly due to lack of free time and hypoglycemia (I can no longer read for long hours w/o food)
Not meant to be a competitive question but... how long does it take you to read an average book?

that does it @bsky.app stop removing/hiding replies that are harmless. a hidden reply I just revealed said "ice skating" in response to request for rom-com worthy activities. there is no reason to do this. the only time replies should disappear is if the user was blocked.

Because doctors are finally screening for it younger. Or more likely patients aren't willing to ignore serious issues just because a doctor says they're too young.
A deadly cancer keeps rising among younger adults. No one's sure why | CBC News
New statistics show colorectal cancer is on the rise among younger adults. No one's sure why. But the trend is clear, so the question now is: What should Canada do about it?

It must have been REALLY bad for Israel's president to condemn it publicly.
Israeli president urges end to settler violence against Palestinians after 'shocking and serious' attack | CBC News

Alright folks, from now on when quoting songs poetry make damn sure to use either music notes or stick the lyric in "quotes" and list the performer/writer. because apparently nuance is dead. Or possibly context. Or reading articles in their entirety. #smh
The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2

Yeah, but at least it's an environmental catastrophe with absolutely no regulation, so a handful of dirtbags can have even more money they'll never be able to spend.

Today I found out that there are TWO Famer's Almanacs! The 'Old Farmer's Almanac' (founded 1792) and the 'Farmer's Almanac' (founded 1818). The NEWER one is the one that is shutting down, not the one with the cute, old-fashioned pale yellow cover that I'm sure we all can picture in our heads.
WOW. ANOTHER INSTITUTION SAYS GOODBYE
After more than two centuries in print, The Farmers’ Almanac will end its run with its 2026 edition.
The publication was known for long-term weather predictions, fishing and gardening guides.

These setting have been there from the start, "rude" is actually new but most have been here.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.
ChatGPT advised a suicidal young woman on how to take her own life, telling her "If you choose death, I'm with you - till the end, without judging."
I wanted ChatGPT to help me. So why did it advise me how to kill myself?
ChatGPT wrote a woman a suicide note and another AI chatbot role-played sexual acts with children, BBC finds.
