I remember this being a thing in I, Robot or some similar scifi movie I watched as a kid
and I remember thinking, “hope you remembered to take your coffee cup out of the cup holder lol”

- Comment on What would you do if you got message that says "do not look outside" 6 days ago:
most types of digital camera sensors are actually super vulnerable to strong EM radiation, like gamma rays. also lasers of any wavelength will definitely burn them out hence the media trope of burning out a security camera with a laser

everywhere I’ve worked that was foolish enough to give me access to a label printer, regardless of whether I got fired or left voluntarily, will be finding goofy label printed jokes stuck in unhinged places for decades

- Comment on Would mechs make effective tools or weapons assuming the engineering and physics worked out, or are limbed piloted vehicles really just a rule of cool thing? 1 week ago:
Boston Dynamics got started making weird leggy robots specifically for terrain that’s too rough for wheels and tank tracks, so if there was somehow a need for a bipedal robot it might end up looking somewhat like a mech.
My guess is that legged ground based war machines are usually going to have 4+ legs for stability, though. Airborne drones are probably going to be way more common.
Personally, I hope we achieve a utopian future where war is obsolete, scarcity is history, and we build giant mecha robots and battle with them as a power sport

i love shitposts that are way more well-written than they have any business being haha
- Comment on Do people vote just by name recognition on the ballot or do they vote for the issues? 2 weeks ago:
yeah, basically the only way to vote informed is to spend several hours researching the candidates and their values, ballot measures’ implications, etc.
before the internet that shit must have been goddamn near impossible.
it’s a lot to ask of a population who is largely overworked, underpaid, and alienated from their communities to the point where having a few uninterrupted hours is a fucking luxury few of us have even occasionally. and usually we want to spend those hours with friends and family… so doing something boring like voter research is a hard sell
ironically, informed voting is one of the ways we could start to chip away at free time scarcity
- Comment on Why does the microwave button have a "popcorn" button when every microwave popcorn brand says "DO NOT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON"? 2 weeks ago:
I would recommend setting it to something like 6–8 minutes instead so that if something prevents you from being there to take it out when done (bathroom emergency, etc.) you don’t potentially burn your home down

hell yeah
- Comment on Do people vote just by name recognition on the ballot or do they vote for the issues? 2 weeks ago:
In the US, a vast majority of people vote by party. They may not even know the candidates by name, and simply vote “straight ticket.”
But I was in line to vote a few years ago and overheard someone say something like “yeah I saw more signs for This Guy than for That Guy, so I guess I’ll vote This Guy.”
I have also heard it’s not uncommon for Americans to vote for candidates they think are more attractive, or have a name they like more.
Basically, we’re pathologically stupid
- Comment on To those who think the economy will never get good enough to afford basic necessities (and you're probably right), what will you do to not only survive, but enjoy life with the only life you have? 3 weeks ago:
what i currently do now? continuously lower my expectations and try to be grateful for what i have
it sounds bitter lol but honestly it’s made me a more content, less materialistic person
- Comment on They all look like this 5 weeks ago:
there are dozens of us! haha I’m just glad I’m not the only one.
though the criticisms of the aesthetic are valid. I just like my surroundings to be as non-distracting as possible and that overlaps with largely unimaginative design lol
- Comment on For those of you with LineageOS and rely on F-Droid/FOSS apps, how do you make extra money without gig apps like DoorDash? 5 weeks ago:
Me personally, I do adult entertainment and catering gigs. These are coordinated via regular phone calls and SMS with my bosses and I’m paid in cash. Non app gig work is very much still a thing!

holy shit. I didn’t realize Putin had literally dropped the G bomb in a speech.

honestly if you’re like me and the millions of other tortured survivors of the hellscape known as A Retail Job, 99% of Christmas songs are just pure PTSD trigger
fortunately I can still somewhat enjoy Carol of the Bells and most of The Nutcracker because they just go so fuckin hard
also what didn’t get ruined for me by being blasted over a blown out speaker in a loop for 8–10 hour shifts, are various metal Christmas tracks that are too spicy for grocery store grandmas 🤘

en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_languages_by_number_of…
This list estimates native French and English speakers are approximately the same amount as of 2024
I knew Russian was gonna be the largest but I’m surprised German was higher than French and English, and didn’t know French and English were approximately neck and neck

the impression I get is that they’re pretending not to understand, but they do, they just don’t give a flying fuck what other people think of them because everyone keeps buying their cheese, wine, and fashion so they’re busy counting money, getting laid, and smoking like chimneys lol
