I don’t use any of the emoji that could have a skin tone. I will occasionally use emoji, but don’t find that the faces or hands are useful.

paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your personal threshold for being grossed out by owning an object that was once part of a living being, and why?English2·10 days agoOh yeah, being turned into a book is unlikely to be worth the headache for anyone involved. The tree burials that are legal in some spots is a reasonable option. Or just donation to science.
Whatever is cheapest/lowest fuss is fine. If that means I get reused or recycled great! If not, just don’t let me be a bother.
Sky burial is also awesome. Hopefully there are enough vultures to keep that up in at least some places. There’s a 99% Invisible episode that talks about collapsing vulture populations resulting in issues with doing it in India.

Weirdly enough, I still think my preferred way to dispose of my eventual cadaver is being made into a book.
I wouldn’t want to own book me, but I love the idea of being a book. Not like a gruesome one where someone could tell right off, something more boring than that.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a fun and harmless way to embarrass your girlfriend?English2·11 days agoThis is in line with other comments. Embarrassing yourself in public with her is potentially funny for both of you.
Trying to embarrass her more directly than that may be crossing a line.
paraplu@piefed.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C?English21·12 days agoI’m surprised by anchovies lacking it but you appear to be correct, even for raw anchovies. I tried looking at a handful of other raw fish and they also have no vitamin C.
I guess that makes sense, if fish could supply vitamin C I can’t imagine scurvy would’ve been a problem for long.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone here prefer instrumental music over *songs*?English3·16 days agoI’m not sure why the need to draw a firm distinction between the two. I’m quite focused on lyrics if they’re present and in a language I understand. I’m not fussed if they aren’t.
If you find the music in some way engaging, that’s enough. Denigrating other music as in some way lesser than your preferred genre is odd.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Cooking @lemmy.world•[QUESTION] Are there cookbooks that are like “workbooks”?English1·24 days agoAside from what’s mentioned here already, Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything is a great resource. I’m not sure how much Indian food is in it, but the recipes are simple and followed by a long list of simple substitutions to make different variants.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything that wouldn’t be suitable for beginners, but I’m also not entirely sure I would notice.
You don’t need to speak Latin to notice common roots and get a gist for what a term means.
If you’re actually in a position where it’s useful to distinguish one type of dementia from another, having a meaning that’s linked to what the symptoms are may help you remember both name and symptoms.
If you’re not a medical professional, remembering either name or symptoms for specific types of dementia is unlikely to be useful.
