Not to mention a huge chunk of those Pokemon at that time were just evolution phases, sharing very similar names as their base (e.g. Charmander, Charmeleon, and then Charizard). Additionally, each evolution phase looks pretty similar to the prior. That in comparison to, say, many different varieties of ants, wasps, birds, etc. that don’t look that different at a distance, especially to an 8-year-old.

bassomitron@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How I hacked my washing machineEnglish1·12 hours agoThat sounds like a great read, thanks for the information
bassomitron@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•don't trust cloud services with creative workEnglish2·14 hours agoBut again, that story above makes sense as to why it was initially triggered (i.e. Google’s automated child porn detection bots flagged the picture and account). Was it done wrongfully? Sure, that seems to be the case. But, that’s not really relevant to the original post since that’s not what happened to this person. I feel like we’d be seeing way more news about authors having their books randomly locked out from them because Google just randomly decided to enforce a specific ToS violation on their account.
bassomitron@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•don't trust cloud services with creative workEnglish2·14 hours agoI doubt they do, too. I’m just pointing out how ridiculous the picture above sounds without knowing the full story.
bassomitron@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•don't trust cloud services with creative workEnglish131·17 hours agoIf I had to guess, there’s more to this story than they’re telling us. I’ve literally never heard of anyone losing access to their personal, legal files on Google drive because it violates their ToS. Google is a shit company and should be avoided, but this story just sounds like rage bait and maybe even just “organic” advertising for Scrivener.

Just one of many studies that raise concerns. Yes, they pump rats full of a fuckton of these chemicals that no normal human being will ingest. You could say the same thing about tons of other chemicals that have turned out to be carcinogenic. We don’t have the funds to give rats/animals normal doses over the course of a normal human lifespan, so pumping high amounts to shorten the duration is the next best thing.
