“What’s in a kiss? Nothing less than the very essence of what it is to be human”

Also l liked how you have acknowledged and criticised the racist descriptions of old anthropologist.
Given the Fediverse and the Internet, there are two embeddings. One you can embed the Fediverse in the Internet by using something as a webapp. Two, you can embed the Internet into the Fediverse by using meta tags such as described here and Page objects.
This proves that the Internet and Fediverse are the same thing. Using different words is just confusing. I'm going back to eat my coffee cup and drink from my donut.

I too often read "The planet is dying! 😱"
It is not. The planet is adapting to what we're doing. There will always be a rich ecosystem on our planet.
But that ecosystem will adapt to the point where we no longer have a place in it.
No, the planet is not dying. We are.
*coughs*
By the way, it has been over a century, folks.
