  I barely played DCSS and that was a fun read.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just vibing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s fun to calculate that from a socket to a light bulb it may take something close to a few hours for one electron to get to the bulb, but even then that’s an average. Some electrons don’t even get to the light bulb ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG now using AI generated images on their store⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The amazing thing is that people generated AI art and then say

  “I generated some AI art.”

  No you didn’t, you told an AI model what to make using what is virtually search terms and some constraints.

  I initially thought this meme was like Pacman, the Sun needs more fuel, must gobble gobble

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy irl⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t want the yoghurt to go critical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a whole lotta hydrogen!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hydrogen: ‘Hi there, where’s the nearest star?’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why kill spiders? Oh, maybe it’s Australia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IF NO HEN⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually more puzzle-like and isn’t dumb formatting. Probably the person with the tattoo doesn’t care whatever people think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always recall Bose for their high quality almost ‘vintage’ devices, and they should encourage their newer digital devices to become the old high quality devices that still work, sitting in someone’s home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Positivity 😇⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought a heavy nucleus needs an extra neutron for it to go poot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YOLO⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Heh, I think things would have been more significantly problematic if HCl was involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wasn't afraid of radiation until you mentioned it???⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, some of us are thinking ‘shine’ I expect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ya yeet!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Student in my physics class: ‘How much energy does it take to kill a person?’

  ‘Ok, assuming falling from 25 meters results in 100% death rate…’

  Morbid I know…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max has the world’s brightest phone screen⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see my phone in bright sunlight, not sure why it would need to be any brighter except to be brighter than every other phone. On another note, imagine picking up your phone after sleeping and it’s accidentally on manual max brightness. Ha!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stupid sexy raft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s ironic, by trying to get them to hate each other he accidentally became something for all of them to rally against.

  Like reverse Stockholm syndrome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s either that Cameron seems to have been influenced strongly by Disney or the archetypes and symbolism in popular stories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feynman rules⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He was fully conscious that science models behaviour but doesn’t - maybe never will - give the purpose behind it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks, brain⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I only see maths as really examinable, but other forms of knowledge should be garnered from experience, such as using a microscope and identifying cells, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks, brain⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is actually the crux of why education needs to be reformed. Are exams really testing our intelligence?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SteamOS on my gaming PC?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I saw the post and writeup, I knew it would be Linux (or Bazzite).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨two sides⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Newton was evidently searching for meaning in the universe and God, and I don’t think it was a bullshit code search. The scientific establishment back then was extricably connected to Christianity, and esoterically with alchemy. It wasn’t the scientific establishment post-Victorian as we know it now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I get texting and driving being a danger. But back in my day you could eat drink change radio stations etc. Why weren't laws implemented back then?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Texting on a tiny keyboard on a phone requires much more visual attention than finding a button (which you can feel for anyway), and changing a radio station which you only need to listen for. A drink should also be okay if you’re not raising your head full tilt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon asks out a friend⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean sleeping with so many guys? That may well be true anyway. Doesn’t mean they’re an incel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The iPhone 17 square selfie camera is a bigger deal than you think⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well well, isn’t that amazing /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The iPhone 17 square selfie camera is a bigger deal than you think⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This article gave me zero idea what a square front camera is.

  Does it mean that the sensor is a square instead of a rectangle? I’m confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon asks out a friend⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So many red flags…it’s a minefield.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clock logic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, I knew I was messing two words up and forgot preceded! 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clock logic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh hot damn, first time I used that word.

  Maybe presaged?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clock logic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I get the joke, but the sundials of ancient civilisations precluded clocks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Seat Advert⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Repetitive strain injury for your KNEES!
