Are these the most commented threads across all of Lemmy

Unless there's a huge secret instance somewhere that isn't federated with any other of the large instances (there isn't):

Apparently, Shani Louk, the girl that was at the festival and in the truck video and was eventually confirmed alive and being treated in Gaza, is dead.

I've found very little reliable information on it but it seems the Israeli foreign ministry contacted her mother to tell her they found a DNA-checked "skull fragment" suggesting she was dead since October 7th.

I have literally zero proof of this but I genuinely consider it likely the IDF killed her (most likely through bombings), found her subsequently, and are now lying as usual.

There are only two north-south roads

Only two above the ground

Not even a quarter of world's users, yet more than twice the amount of comments/posts

by all accounts Israel treats their hostages far far worse

And apparently even worse since October 7th

Fuck it, I'm reposting my quick and dirty DIY hummus recipe; uses canned chickpeas (and probably can be much improved):

The way I do it is more like an amalgamation of many recipes I read on the web, and is pretty disordered; basically:

• Pour both cans of chickpeas in a pot, including the water in the can. Add some more water (not much) after, so that all chickpeas are well covered.
• Bring to a boil. Boil for like two minutes.
• Strain the chickpeas, put the water from the pot aside, do not throw it away.
• Blend the chickpeas. It'll look like a mess due to a lack of hydration; so before blending them you add some of the chickpeas cooking water to the blender on top of the chickpeas. Not much; try it with like five or six large spoons and if it still looks like a mess, add some more. You'll be able to tell when you have added enough: instead of a mess of chickpea fragments you'll see something that has roughly the consistency of hummus when blending. Again, you need very little added cooking water.
• Move all the blended chickpea paste into a recipient. At this point you've got bland hummus: time to spice it up. Add a lot of cumin, the juices from lemons (I use two large lemons for two large chickpea cans and about 4/5 full small spoons of cumin), salt (quite a bit), some pepper, some olive oil, and finally crushed garlic (also quite a bit - I use like 6 or 7 cloves for two large chickpea cans). If you can find it, at this point you can also add one or two large spoons of Tahini - it's a sesame paste similar to peanut butter, except with sesame seeds instead of peanuts (if you can't find it, using sesame oil instead of olive oil above can be an OK alternative). As an aside, if you like a bit of a kick in your hummus, adding more crushed raw garlic at this stage will result in that.
• Mix well. At this point you taste regularly and add spices and/or garlic and/or salt depending on how it tastes. Mix well after every time, until you're happy. Be aware at this point your hummus is likely still hot - the taste will feel different when cold. You can adjust spices and the like later if you want to be sure (though after doing it a few times you'll get the right feel for it even when it's hot).

At the last point, if the consistency isn't right you can add chickpea cooking water and/or olive or sesame oil if needed (usually isn't).

It's not though, their best game so far (and probably ever) is Morrowind, an actual good RPG they managed to produce. IIRC most of the team left after that, which might explain Oblivion.

Is it really that unusual for people to not drink at all nor smoke tobacco or weed?

In Western societies at least it's genuinely a small minority I'm pretty sure.

they have configured fucking conky to show information related to the work being done

I thought you meant the disk activity / CPU levels and such and I figured "so what" but you meant the human work being done, didn't you. In which case it's fucking grim.

I'm finally trying Starfield. It's probably because my expectations were in the gutter but it isn't that bad, I'm actually having fun. It's a bethesda game for sure: zero personality, you'll probably get tired of it before finishing up the main quest or exploring every mechanic, and it'll make a great engine for future mods. But it is pretty fun in the meantime.

Edit: also they went all-in with fast travel to an absurd degree. I discovered like 15 hours in that the main city was not, in fact, a set of disjointed maps (one for each quarter) with fast travel or tram between them but that they're in fact all perfectly connected and you can go from one to the other on foot without loading screens, for example

A wholesome thing sounds like:
