My buddy called-in Sportchek when they were advertising skis for like $900 but “marked down” to 200! They had to stop that practice as a result of his report.

This, minus the Laugh Often applique is basically VR people
- Comment on How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times? 2 weeks ago:
Disengage.
The amount of doomer shit you intake is directly proportional to time spent online listening to the opinions of imbeciles.
So basically walk away.
- Comment on Playback speed past X2 is now a YouTube paid feature 2 weeks ago:
For me personally, until a month ago I had no idea why people would prefer to watch at faster speed.
Then I was assigned 10 hours of training at work, and it was all the worst fucking videos you’ve ever seen, no editing for clarity or brevity, points being repeated at nausea. Repeated footage. And it’s not like I could skip vast portions of it, I never knew when a little piece of key information would be snuck in which was in the knowledge test.
Finally said to myself fuck this and I put it on 2x. I found it kind of life-changing in that moment and I’m going to consider using faster watch speeds from now on.

Frying is the transference of heat through oil or fat. Air “frying” is just heating.

That’s more informative, thank you.
I’m not pretending to be any kind of expert, as you can tell from my initial inquiry I’m not familiar with this, I was only responding to the way it was portrayed to me in comments.
- Comment on Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is free to claim on epic games for the next 24h 1 month ago:
Because it sounds like they were employees not IP owners

That’s a bit of a different presentation than “stole” just saying.

Wow, can you say in brief what happened?

That’s not how nuclear fission works.

Want to move an image but you don’t know how text wrapping works? Want a .DOCX editor to edit a file format from Adobe? Don’t know to R-Click? This memes for YOU!
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 month ago:
It’s my opinion that celery is both delicious and disgusting at the same time.
If you get very deep green celery, it’s horrid.
If you get light green celery, or you peel off the outer deep green fibers, it’s delicious again!
And the young leaves are absolutely sweet and delicious as all get-out.
But yeah I could see why a lot of people dislike it.

In Canada at least rent payments are tax deductible so you’ll get all tax paid on those monies back

This is 9-dimensionally triggering for me.
Excellent post.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 1 month ago:
I don’t know what kind of setup my GF’s phone had going, but she loved hands-free features like “hi Google” or whatever it was.
I specifically remember having a chit chat verbal conversation with her on her patio while her phone was laying there… and the next day products started getting recommended to me on my phone based on that convo.
My phone at the time was turned off and in my backpack in the house. Somehow the back end logic sewed everything together.

Just to add an anecdote… My friend is beyond millionaire as her father started a retail giant. Anyways, she has money coming out her ass and the prices Amazon shows her are almost consistently 30%-50% than what they show me. Because they know she’s rich AF and they know I’m fairly poor.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 1 month ago:
Yeah this thread is beyond sad. People want to think they’re savvy consumers; also think every AA battery with a different outer wrapping is made in a dedicated battery factory.
- Comment on Cheapflation: The Kroger brand "shake and bake" seasoning no longer comes with the bag to shake it in 😠 2 months ago:
Yeah you can do that too. Crushed up corn flakes etc
- Comment on Cheapflation: The Kroger brand "shake and bake" seasoning no longer comes with the bag to shake it in 😠 2 months ago:
The ingredients of this are going to be white flour, salt, thyme, paprika.
And probably a bunch of other useless shit you don’t want or need to eat.
- Comment on Cheapflation: The Kroger brand "shake and bake" seasoning no longer comes with the bag to shake it in 😠 2 months ago:
Cheapflation them back and learn that you don’t need these stupid products. They’re not “convenient” they’re just a way to charge you 10x for the constituent ingredients.
- Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 2 months ago:
It’s a nightmare to even sign up.
Nothing else to it.
People will move en-masse to new platforms if the switch is easy. Nothing easy about using this platform.
Obv the people here are techy enough to surmount the initial hurdles, but don’t kid yourself, the average person doesn’t know a damned thing. Using tech and understanding tech are two vastly different skills. And you actually need to understand tech to even get started here.

Nobody is afraid of technology.
Most people buying this stuff are just gadget goofs with way too much disposable income, nothing more.

To this very day, with only the slightest amount of technical knowledge, you can log onto people’s existing devices, watch their video feeds, initiate print jobs, etc.
A ‘haha im hax0r’ amusement from 20+ years ago is still going strong.
- Comment on To celebrate Oxford Word of The Year, Submit your worthy ones for rating in the comments 2 months ago:
People like to rag on AI here because it grants them coolness points and because they’re threatened that it will literally do a better job, faster and cheaper than they can. If the so called “tech gurus” around here would think more about the greater good (as in helping to train AI instead of always criticizing it) we’d have a much better society.

They are made with whole food sourced ingredients

I do too, this was my opportunity to say my opinion and not get yelled at lol
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 2 months ago:
I really feel that would sell like hot cakes.
But since nicotine and caffeine are related molecules and are similar neurostimulants, we could just smoke tobacco hey

While we’re at it, is gravity actually a repulsive force?
