Well, I’m not not gnostic. Or aagnostic, if you will.
- Comment on Telegram automatically modifies your text message to "debunk" whatever you are trying to send 3 days ago:
Oh I see it now, idk if it wasn’t there before or I just missed it. I expected the edit to come at the start, not at the end
- Comment on Telegram automatically modifies your text message to "debunk" whatever you are trying to send 3 days ago:
Yeah as I said in the edited paragraph in the beginning;
I’m not seeing that btw
- Comment on Telegram automatically modifies your text message to "debunk" whatever you are trying to send 3 days ago:
Yeah, so it was never automatically inserted by Telegram. It was always included by the user, at least initially. It seems like there’s a bug in Telegram not showing a link when editing but including it when sending.
- Comment on Telegram automatically modifies your text message to "debunk" whatever you are trying to send 3 days ago:
The fact that the link appeared instantly when you sent the message is suspicious. Something else is going on here. Also I noticed that the link was already included at the start of the recording.
You’re doing something weird. Try to copy the text from here on Lemmy with no link anywhere, paste it in a new message with nothing weird in it and send.

Tried it in a group chat, nothing happened:

To be fair, it’s quite a biggie.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
0:00 PM makes a heck of a lot more sense than 12:00 PM. But there is no excuse for using it in an otherwise 24-hour system! I’m so sorry you have to tolerate such insanity.
- Comment on Is my laundry machine broken? 2 weeks ago:
Also, sometimes the machine’s inlet is not rated for hot water, only cold. As I said in my first comment, I guess it depends on the model.
- Comment on Is my laundry machine broken? 2 weeks ago:
But what if it’s too hot, as can be the case here?
- Comment on Is my laundry machine broken? 2 weeks ago:
Interesting. I actually wonder why we don’t have that here (Israel), since the majority of homes have sun-heated water. In the summer, the hot tap can reach scalding steaming temperatures (I’m not joking). It’s a shame to let all that free energy go to waste.
Though to be fair, I’ve lived in apartments where the cold tap is scalding hot in the summer too, because the pipe is exposed to the sun. In that case, the washer gets a free ride, whether it needs it or not!
- Comment on Is my laundry machine broken? 2 weeks ago:
That’s either totally wrong or depends on where you live (and the model you have). Where I’m from, that’s not a thing. Washers are connected to a cold water supply and heat the water themselves.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Honestly it’s a good idea IMO. The thing is, if it becomes common wisdom that edited comments signal credibility, then spambot makers that want them to look human can easily program them to do that and take advantage of that common wisdom. At that point it wouldn’t be a useful signal anymore. That’s the nature of a cat and mouse game like this.
But for the time being? It sounds like a reasonable heuristic to me. But just like everything in this area, no single thing is 100%.

Well then, agree to disagree?
- Comment on How can one individual get Nestle, Amazon, Google, Apple, Disney, and Blackrock to go out of business? 3 weeks ago:
Right but I still don’t think it’d drive those specific companies out of business. They’re all damn good at profiting off of a worldwide catastrophe.

That’s the worst idea yet. As we’ve seen with covid, the streaming providers only get stronger under those circumstances.
- Comment on In the US can a felon own a gun if it is dismantled and hanging like a piece of art? 4 weeks ago:
If you’re genuinely considering doing this (or someone you know), you should probably ask a lawyer. Or at least ask in a law-oriented message board. There are probably also lawery websites where you can ask questions and they (eventually, if they feel like it) answer them publicly. But either way, even if the law decidedly allows it, it can still cause loads of headaches because if an officer mistakenly believes it’s illegal they can still take you in and/or confiscate it, and it can take you a while to prove that it’s actually allowed. Take this risk into account. If you still think it’s cool enough to justify that risk, I say go ahead.
If this is more of a curiosity or a thought experiment type question, then knock yourself out and ignore my party pooping!

What if the target person is indoors or underground? Does it just smash through?
- Comment on How do i sync subtitles while watching movies? 5 weeks ago:
So you just want a better system than “completely at random”. Fair enough. Here’s what I’d do:
- After the first line is uttered, see if the subtitles are late or early. Pause.
- Adjust the delay, let’s say -1.0 second (or more if the difference between them felt really long).
- Skip back to before the line was heard, and play. Is the gap better or worse? If it’s worse, then you need to change the delay in the other direction (+1.0 instead of -1.0). If it’s better, the direction you used was good.
- Repeat step 3 until you get that one line synced perfectly.
- Enjoy the rest of the movie/episode.
Disclaimer: I’ve never had this problem (that I remember), subtitles have always been either synced or completely out of my control. I don’t use ‘alternative means’ much.
- Comment on What are some things that deserve their own word? 1 month ago:
lol, it’s simpler than you think. I actually took a video, but couldn’t upload a video to Lemmy so I uploaded a still from the video. I placed my phone on the counter with the camera peeking over the edge of the counter.
And no, I will not be providing a visual aid for this!
- Comment on What are some things that deserve their own word? 1 month ago:
Apologies for taking so long to get back to you. My drawing skills suck, so here’s a picture:
The “heels” of my hands push against each other, giving very easy and precise control. It’s kind of hard to explain in words how much advantage (pun intended) this method has over just pulling both sides independently. Try it!
- Comment on if I rip a fart, will putting a fan facing out the window or facing in from the window clear the stink out faster of the room? 1 month ago:
Oh, so it’s effectively two independent fans. I misunderstood before.

- Comment on If dogs have such a great nose, why do they sniff other dogs asses? Wouldn't it smell like shit or not a good smell? 1 month ago:
It’s because dogs are gross and stupid. You can try to change my mind on this, and you will fail.

I can totally accept the over tourism argument. In that case I’m doing my part, and telling people NOT to go there! :)

I’m surprised how many people vehemently refuse to switch and think I’m being insane. It’s a cultural thing I guess.

To the uninitiated: the act of throwing someone or something out of a window.
- Comment on What are some things that deserve their own word? 1 month ago:
At the risk of teaching you something you might already know:
Instead of pulling both sides independently, you should brace your hands against each other. Grab the sides of the bag with your fingers, and have the palms push against each other. That way, as soon as the bag opens, the pressure between your palms is released and you “automatically” stop pulling the bag open.
