The contents of the article must be consumed in order to discuss them intelligently, to create an informed opinion, and to pose questions that have positive worth within the conversation that ensues from its having been read and ruminated upon?

Preposterous notion.

Are you replying to/commenting on the OP's title? Did you not read past its first sentence, into its second, mentioning the plane?

Not NASA, Nasa.

Fair rebuttal; we're meant to infer the left-side hand pointing at the watch belongs to the same model of the right-side arm that's wearing the watch. Admittedly, this is an assumption based on insufficient data. It's not impossible that the finger-pointing left hand and the watch-wearing right wrist are owned by two different models.

That doesn't change the fact that the watch is worn on a right-arm wrist in an orientation that would show it as upside down to a right-arm wrist owner.

The 3 McDonald's menu items' calorie values displayed add up to the sum displayed; where is there a discrepancy of 100?

How is McDonald's wrong? A few of the others are, but where is the error on that one?

Struggling to spell, read, or write can all be signs of dyslexia...

This answered nothing… Could you explicitly state what a mouth has to do with dyslexia?

The irony. :-|

Placement of the shark's eyes makes me question Larson's qualifications as a marine biologist.

I was thinking the same thing. This is a fine example of the exception to the rule that you should not place the horizon in the middle of the frame.

If you're registered at those other instances, you can create another profile(s) in Jerboa that connects to them, and then using that profile, browse by Local, I suppose.

I'm registered at both lemmy.cafe and lemmy.ca, and have profiles for both registrations in Jerboa.

Otherwise, if you're registered only with Beehaw, I believe the answer is, "no, not in Jerboa, just with your device's normal web browser."

Article ends with:

There was no independent verification of the surgeon's claims.

The internet tells me that "plant growth requirements" are air, water, nutrients, space, and light.

Let's imagine. The growing plant was found in a lung. It must have:

Air. Plants ingest carbon dioxide, exude oxygen. Both gasses are present in our own respiration. So that checks out.

Water. I guess water was leeched from the lungs' blood supply, since we're all just bags of mostly water.

Nutrients. See water, above. If the mamallian reproduction system can supply a growing embryo with required nutrients, why not those required by a fir sapling? Sure, they're different requirements, but press on.

Space. Assuming that no other competing species of plant is growing in the lung, this isn't a problematic issue.

Light. Ah, well. Photosynthesis requires sunlight, and I am reminded of a joke attributed to Groucho Marx, Abraham Lincoln, Nicola Tesla, and Albert Einstein:

Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read, or to cultivate horticulture.

I am as dubious of this fir sapling story as my quoted joke's provenance.

 

On mobile I use(d) Relay for Reddit browsing. The app has a feature that I miss in Jerboa.

In posts/comments, [hyperlinked text can be long-pressed to reveal the destination](hi there i am a URI to any other website) in a pop-up overlayed on the link (sorry, I don’t know the proper term for this UI tool) without actually opening to the link. Upon tapping off the pop-up, it closes and I tap on the URI to follow through to it, or not, as I wish. In Jerboa, pressing a hyperlink only opens it, site unseen (pun intended).

This change would be useful because sometimes I don't want to open the linked page, given the target (e.g. youtube, instagram).

In Jerboa I see no way of discovering the URI of a hyperlink without following to it, which would be convenient to avoid.

 

This morning when I picked up my phone, the Jerboa icon on my phone's homepage had a transparent background, as it had when first installed a week-or-so ago.

Sometime, mid-day today, I saw the icon had a solid white background.

Did this change as a result of an update, or maybe my (admittedly old) phone just catching up to 2023?

I must admit, I kinda liked the transparent-background version.
