I thought the giveaway here was that the Pokémon is named “Bidet”, but all wild Pokémon are named whatever their species is (“Piplup”), meaning this one is already caught and was given a nickname by its trainer.

I think this is rage bait but I think there is a difference between saying “X is weird” and saying “X should be banned”. That’s all I will say on the matter

It’s easy to say this when you don’t consider the law an impediment to achieving your goals. That’s why junkies and rich people can always “make it happen”.

In terms of their utility as a cleaning tool, sponge daddies are actually quite good at what they do. They’re somewhat more expensive but remarkably worth the money.

Pot brownies are popular in the United States, which are baked at 180 degrees Celsius. I think the idea is to protect the components that contain THC, i.e. the crust and sauce.
For that reason, thin-crust pizzas like New York-style pizza are out. They are too thin and would expose the THC to high temperatures. Neapolitan pizza is also out because there is nothing protecting the cannato sauce from the 400-degree wood-fired oven. That leaves thick-crust pan pizzas.
Chicago-style pizza is a possibility despite the fact that the sauce is on top of the cheese, because there is so much of it that it becomes soupy. It might be possible to pour ordinary tomato sauce on top of the cannato sauce to protect it. Conversely, Detroit-style pizza does not have very much sauce at all so it’s out.
I think the best contender is a Pizza Hut-style pan pizza, which has a thick crust and an edge-to-edge layer of cheese on top of it, which I think would do a good job protecting the delicate sauce underneath.

THC oil in the dough, cannatoe-based sauce with dried ground weed added as a garnish… might just send you straight to God.
- Comment on Go Green 1 month ago:
I wonder if it is biologically possible to grow a cannabis-tomato hybrid. Like a tomacco, but it’s actually a cannato.
Cannatoes could be used to make pizza into an edible, which might be too much for mere human minds to comprehend.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 1 month ago:
Food in the kitchen is usually measured in pounds for meat and vegetables (similar to the UK) and grams for most other dry goods. So the recipe would call for 2 pounds of beef but 5 grams of salt. The Costco hit dogs are guaranteed to weigh at least ¼ pound.
The most confusing thing is soda, because it is sold in containers of either 350 mL, 16 oz, or 2 L.

- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 1 month ago:
It tastes similar to Kraft macaroni and cheese (known in Canada as “Kraft Dinner”). So I would guess young, unaged cheddar or Colby cheese. There is also probably a good amount of whey powder, which is a by-product of cheese production.
It’s not fake, just highly processed.

- Comment on Sora AI Slop is here 2 months ago:
Woe will be the day when humans can no longer determine whether a video is AI or not, even after careful analysis. I wouldn’t have caught this one either but if given the fact that it is suspected of AI, it isn’t hard to prove it. The timestamp in the top left corner is off. 22-13-43-21 is a nonsensical date and the time jumps from 23:15:07 to 23:15:98 then 23:15:59 then 23:15:54

According to some right-wing spaces (r/conservative on Reddit), there is apparently evidence to suggest that the shooter was an outlier within their otherwise hard-right family.
Is there any evidence to the contrary?

Based on the fact that four times as much was spent on R&D, and almost three times as much was spent on sales and marketing, and even administration spent 50% more, I’m pretty confident that most employees are not working on the product itself.
Your bringing up admin salaries is a perfect example of economies of scale. You can easily mind a 1,000,000-user community with ten or twenty moderators. But 10,000 users still need at least two or three people minding them. Anecdotally, smaller online public groups seem to have more troublemakers per capita, to an extent.

15.3 million is the same order of magnitude as 10^7^. I don’t see what the issue is with saying the cost of hosting is “on the order of 10^7^” here, unless you somehow think they are spending US$5 million a year on salaries of people who are directly involved in the provision of the product to the users? That would be US$60 million a year or enough to pay 600 people a six-figure salary, which I guarantee their employees are not all so well-paid.
- Comment on September 2025: Updates for the .worlds and call for donations 3 months ago:
The “cost of revenue” is the figure that I am using. In business, cost of revenue is defined as the costs incurred directly to deliver the product to the customer, which is basically just hosting fees.
Thus I believe 10^7^ USD is correct.
So the difference is about one order of magnitude, which is still not insignificant.
Although, it would not surprise me if Reddit makes up most of that order of magnitude in terms of economy of scale, since at some point you would just rent some warehouses and run your own server farms, or at least negotiate better hosting rates if you’re spending millions on hosting every month.

That doesn’t seem right. There are some 37,000 active Lemmy accounts within the past month.
lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats&months=6
It’s well-known that lemmy.world is the biggest instance (or close to it). In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of Mastodon users, of which at least a good few per cent are mastodon.world users.
This would give the Fedihosting Foundation a user count on the order of 10^5 users. And since their hosting cards are on the order of 10^4 EUR, this would mean each user costs on the order of 10^-1^ EUR.

It’s not being “split”, they give a flat 50 € regardless of whether you donate 0 € to them or 1 million €. In fact if more people donate to .world this will, infact, water down the percentage.
If the organisation had a monthly revenue of 1 000 000 € and gave 50 € to them, this would be such a vanishingly small percentage (0.005%) that it could well be argued to be negligible
