  Yeah, but… Why do we base a creature’s right to exist on their intelligence as perceived by us? We have no idea what headlights look like to them or how stressful it is being a keystone prey species. I certainly wouldn’t want to walk a mile in their shoes. Personally they’re a massive nuisance and garden pest, but I understand we brought out houses to them and not the other way around so I don’t hold it against them.

  They’re not going to be splitting the atom any time soon.

  Oh, well actually I do hold that against them. Nevermind.

  Once upon a time. Now it’s that but also kinda like flawless, perfect, magnificent.

  If Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome is real then it’s extremely rare. Just look at People like Willie Nelson or Snoop. Fact is this syndrome was only first described after Colorado legalized cannabis recreationally. So even though many many people smoked just as much before legalization it somehow only became an issue afterward? Anecdotally I know a lot of people who smoke a lot of weed. Personally neither my wife and I have been sober for more than maybe a month in the last decade and a half, and I still smoke a lot more than just half a j at the end of the day. Sometimes if I don’t smoke and I don’t eat I get kinda nauseous. The same thing will happen if I do smoke and I don’t eat. I have/get every illness, if this was a thing I would have it lol

  It’s not taking away kids access to communicate with friends though. There’s a million and one ways kids can communicate these days. It’s taking away adults’ access to other people’s children.
  I agree the pedogarchy is the main issue here, and if you kept up with the 1% of files that were released you would know that having access to children on social media was part of their plan. We can attack that plan from both ends without some slippery slope bullshit about how children need facebook to stay in touch with each other. We all know that’s some grade a bolognium.

  IDK why this comment is downvoted, it’s true. And secular orgs that try to help the homeless like Food Not Bombs get shut down by law enforcement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuinely what is the proper response to ‘hey, how’s it going?’ Because that is not normal where I grew up but it’s normal where I live now and I always respond with something like “good, you?” Unless I know the person, which is obviously wrong because half the time I get no response lol HELP

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The various answers in this thread are just hilarious.

  The state is real; it’s when they work in a service position but don’t communicate. You walk up to the counter and instead of greeting you or asking how they can help you or saying anything at all they just stare at you. That’s the Gen z stare. It’s that simple and I’ve encountered it everywhere that employs younger people. It doesn’t bother me, you don’t have to do shit for a shit wage, but it does make interactions unnecessarily awkward.
  The comment saying that Gen z just doesn’t tolerate stupid is hilarious. What percentage of your generation voted for Trump again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me:⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Elections are compromised, and the fact that they are working tirelessly to both compromise them further and disenfranchise voters shows they know they are so totally and completely hated that they still need to astroturf social media to bully their ideology into the mainstream, on top of intimidating those with followings that do speak out.

  Standing = bad
  Water = bad
  Hot water = also bad for different reasons
  Soap: stings

  Yeah idgi either. I understand why women make the assumption, because at least they have the showerhead, but I’m surprised to see so much support for the shower wank. Different strokes, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coffee ☕⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Great, so you’re already halfway there! You may be right on the temp sensor and the gas detector would probably be spotty too. I was thinking you could glue some magnets to the knobs and use a hall effects sensor nearby to map their position, but that would take some tinkering and I personally haven’t done anything like that.

  But you mentioned you already have a camera pointed at it, you could add Frigate to Home Assistant and use object detection to notify you about events such as ‘knob turned’ or ‘panel glowing’ for flame detection or even just have it compare snapshots every x minutes and notify you of any change at all. Then you still always have the camera for visual backup as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coffee ☕⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely don’t have to take anything apart. If you can’t use a smart plug on the outlet, A zigbee temperature sensor mounted above or near the range would do the trick. There’s also methane/gas detectors.
  If you’ve never used Home Assistant, it’s super easy to get going and you can automate nearly everything, so getting phone notifications or persistent temp reminders would be a breeze. Let me know if you have questions about that part. I’m by no means an expert, but I’ve been slowly automating everything in my house and it’s been great.

  Every confession is a confession too, and they’ve come out and said it multiple times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coffee ☕⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe someone mentioned this, but I’m sure there’s a million ways to tackle this task through Home Assistant and a cheap sensor. That way you get passive notifications instead of having to actively check.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As we all should⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Been feeling this lately. Not so worried about if my comment in the work chat would be considered weird. They all know I’m weird already, may as well say what my weird little brain wants to say.

  I actually haven’t seen the remake/continuation (though I hear it was good and cancelled too soon), but the original with Scott Bakula was a great sci-fi series with a full run. It’s episodic, as all TV was then, so beyond the first and last episodes you can really watch them in any order. I believe the clip is from one of the first few episodes though.
