Natural habitats. For the initiated! Absolutely wonderful little web series. I first discovered them through Lemmy and I have binged the entire catalogue several times. Here are some faves:
They are also on IG!
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 5 weeks ago:
PS5 pro is a waste of money, but also lots of people don’t want a PC to play games. Two things can be true at the same time!

Bro I think you have either exceptionally bad taste, or an almost inhuman tolerance for the putrescent. Probably both actually.
- Comment on Most Americans have no idea how anti-worker the US supreme court has become 4 months ago:
Half the country votes for a party that is totally anti-worker because said party tells them they’re pro-worker on TV… so that’s not really all that surprising.

I’m a geologist and will save you some googling: it probably looks like a very large phallic obiect forcing itself into one phat rock formation.
- Comment on Anon notices what they've taken from us 9 months ago:
Who tf used an IR blaster? And what sane person misses the flimsy plastic back on phones with removable batteries? They didn’t cut a hole in your screen, they removed a half inch of dead useless space at the top and bottom and gave you more usable real estate while also cranking the resolution and refresh rate to 11. Buttons? WHAT BUTTONS EXACTLY? The single enormous one that ate up nearly 25% of the phone and all it did was GO BACK?! And don’t even mention the cameras. Your five cameras you didn’t ask for are why you can film yourself in 4K doing whatever brain dead tiktok fad you saw on your enormous HD screen, and why you can pretend you had front row seats to a concert you sat in the nosebleeds for.
Headphone jack is fair, no argument. I use Bluetooth headphones but I get the rationale. Everything else is stupid.
- Comment on 8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates 9 months ago:
I actually got very mixed results with mine. Ultimately the app version is just more stable for some reason. I did get periodic lag, but interestingly I had the most problems with graphically intense games. Steam link has absolutely no problem, if my PC can run it smoothly it looks great on the app too. But on the hardware version it struggled to keep up and I got periodic crashes. Weird.

Reporting as spam is your best tool. That keeps you from seeing them and hurts their deliverability which they VERY MUCH care about.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
“a Hollywood movie”
Wow that’s so specific. What were you searching for? What were your parameters? You tried for an hour? Sounds like you don’t know anything about the movie. If you don’t know anything about it how can you expect a search engine to? It searches what you tell it, and it sounds like you didn’t tell it anything helpful.

Do you have an approximate timetable for the upgrades/downtime?
Thanks for all you do!
- Comment on Netflix’s Big Data Dump Shows Just OK TV Is Here to Stay 10 months ago:
Just okay TV is here to stay
Is this news to literally anyone? Just okay TV has been a mainstay for my entire 30+ year life. How do you think shit like the masked singer, the seventh spinoff of NCIS, 18 law and orders, the voice, basically all reality TV, etc stay in the air so long? Recycled scripts, easy to make, low production costs. They don’t need a lot of viewers. They only need enough viewers to glue eyes to the product/ads. In Netflix case it’s not ads (yet…just wait), but every Mary and Jim that will watch easy to make trash just to have something on is a Mary and Jim that they can rely on to keep paying their subscription fee. The people that will consume just okay trash are the PRIMARY demographic for most content creators of all types, make no mistake.

I’m proud to say I’ve spread the lemon party gospel on lemmy a few times, and the reactions are always worth it.

About a week ago you decided to make your lemmy account. A better idea would’ve been to learn how to fucking read.

The irony is you’re not wrong. Beers are literally $18 or $21 a pop at dodger stadium.
- Comment on What makes a bicycle so expensive? 11 months ago:
Well first, €200 is not the same as $200, so it’s not as high as you think but also second, you just named like twenty things wrong with your bike! Granted at that price point it’s cheaper to buy a new bike than invest in parts, but for more expensive/purpose focused bikes, Longevity and durability is a big part of the cost, but to your point isn’t necessary for everyone. I commute to work (7 mi each way, urban environment) on my bike and also do longer distance rides (20-35 miles) a few times per month. My bike was about $800 when I bought it (2019), and has somewhere in the neighborhood of 3500 miles on it. The base model of my bike though - you guessed it, $500.
- Comment on What makes a bicycle so expensive? 11 months ago:
We should really stop propagating this narrative that all bikes are expensive. Insanely sophisticated race bikes or gravel bikes that you could throw off a cliff without your derailleur getting misaligned are very expensive. A very good, reliable, and perfectly usable bike for the average person cost <$500. Even that is a lot for some people but it’s a LONG way off from the $3k-20k bikes people THINK they need it worse people ASSUME is what all bikes cost. The best selling models of almost every major manufacturer are their lowest and middle tier entry level bikes, which is a slight step up from what you can buy at a Walmart or target. Those Walmart and Target bikes btw, will serve the vast majority of people just fine.
- Comment on What makes a bicycle so expensive? 11 months ago:
A perfectly reasonable bike is $100 in America too. A really good bike is much more expensive in both places.

If he took two hours to jack off, I shudder to think how long that made him last after 😱
- Comment on Redditor when women 1 year ago:
I lived with gay roommates (three gay men, two were a couple one was single), and the single one took AGES to get ready. I’m talking he’d shower at 730, we’d ask what he was doing and he’d say he had a date then leave the house at fucking 930.
He didn’t wear make up or anything I have legitimately no fucking clue what he could’ve been doing for so long. The couple on the other hand, one took longer than the other but honestly they were both pretty fast get ready-ers.

It’s okay if rainbow tape is your fetish. Definitely nothing wrong with your asshole throbbing any time you see someone supporting gay rights. Don’t be ashamed!

Found the closet bottom that’s ashamed to tell people he like it up the ass.
- Comment on Amazon anti Union propaganda 1 year ago:
Correct. Benefits can and do get cut frequently without unions. Benefits cannot be cut in a union under contract, and if they try to cut them on the next contract you have the power to collectively bargain and strike if they do not come to the table and bargain in good faith. The recent WGA strike is an excellent example of all of that.
- Comment on Amazon anti Union propaganda 1 year ago:
Same with
No guarantees on pay, benefits or work rules.
This is also technically true - except your union is going to collectively bargain a binding contract which gets you all those things, and prevents you from being exploited or the employer from randomly changing rules to exploit you.

I mean you could see what was on it before you bought it, that’s on you dog. All you did was prove people will pay that much for a shit sandwich.
