  • You can have a coconut in Seychelles, but if by “have” you mean “eat”, then it likely won’t be Coco de Mer. They are rarely consumed, probably because they are, like, $300-500 a piece (last time I checked). If you mean to poses one, then good news, you get an official certificate with each one, else you can’t take it out of the country.

    There’s a coconut called Coco de Mer that looks like a butt, or more precisely like human female pelvis. Female trees produce the coconut and the male trees produce a flower that looks like a massive dong. You can’t even make this shit up.

    It only grows naturally in Seychelles 🇸🇨 so it’s the national symbol, and because of that you can see this butt silhouette on literally everything, even in the Seychelles passport. Enter the country? Butt stamp in your passport.







  • Sideloading is just a normal term for a specific kind of installing, different than the default method of using the preinstalled store app. Practically nobody actually installs applications on phones from outside those stores. It’s a useful and meaningful distinction, and much shorter than saying “installing apps by means other than official stores”. You don’t “sideload” an app on your PC because that distinction is useless, as it’s the default approach anyway.

    In fact, the term itself has existed since like the 90s, and has just been adopted for use with smartphones.

    You’re telling me all this like it’s not absolutely obvious to anyone with a brain. But this applies to practically all Trump’s policies, he says one thing and does the opposite or call something with an opposite name and do it directly. The point is that it’s the right that promotes the idea that everyone should be allowed to say whatever they want even if it’s slurs, I just used it as an example. I could have picked any other typically right position that’s not extreme.

    I was also gonna say that I see this straw-man a lot on Lemmy. A centrist isn’t someone who takes exactly the half way point between two positions from opposite sides, it’s someone who agrees with some positions from both sides. Like, they can be pro-free speech and pro-immigration, for example.
