• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro video⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think maybe it’s geared towards people who watch more YouTube. I never have any single topic take over my entire homepage, literally ever. I even watched a balatro video like two weeks ago and I got two tiles on my homepage that showed balatro. But I also watch a lot of YouTube, so any one video doesn’t change much about my watch patterns. Last year my wife decided we were suddenly going to be watching videos about using turkey calls, and we watched about ten of them in a row and then I was getting a good number of recommendations for turkey shit, but still nothing like OP’s homepage.

  G. attenboroughii was originally going to be called G. bangbangus — “bangbangus” being a nod to the gunpowder store where the fungus was found. However, the study authors changed the species name to honor Attenborough instead

  Only two options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will getting my drivers liscense renewed mess with my employer checking my driving record?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I very much doubt it would but it most likely depends on country/region.

  Well he doesn’t have a pi button.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, some nerd please explain the switches on this IRL calculator app⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For checking F try typing in an irrational number. Like 22/7

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dylan is my new soulmate.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The red stuff in raw meat from a grocery store isn’t blood, it’s myoglobin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The lost days⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had always wondered that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what unbiased media sources do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone is biased, some less so. Use something like media bias checker or Ground News and read what they say the bias is and why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's PC works⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If people are pushing you to buy stuff, they are not friends. Do not listen to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon visits America⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve literally never heard any European say that, and I know a good fucking amount of Europeans

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dauntless Devs Apologize for Awakening Update, Promise "Immediate Adjustments"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never even heard of this game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one showed up to his party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’ve literally never had anyone bail on a party. If they are they just aren’t your friends (if they’re doing it consistently, things do happen of course).

  I don’t agree with the invite everyone thing, but my brother-in-law does that and it seems to work for him. My wife and I hate it though because he always invites the worst people just because he’s trying to make sure people actually show up. So we get terrible ex girlfriends at things like a family camping weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subway lovers posted⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Subway is just about the lowest quality garbage you can get. I think McDonald’s is maybe the only thing lower quality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just another thing McDonald's ruined!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So many typos and grammar mistakes that it actually says the wrong thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As detailed in the cross post, all those stories just reference one source. It’s functionally useless information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m very surprised anyone in this community would actually believe this. As several of the cross posts detail, India has better worker protections than this. It’s almost guaranteed fake. Also the text doesn’t match up across the screenshot so it looks photoshopped in some way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, because I don’t give one shit about those kinds of games. Nintendo and indie games have never cared about graphics and performance. I haven’t owned a PlayStation since the PS2, and I’ve never owned an Xbox. Crazy how if your only console is a Nintendo then you never really care about that stuff. I do have a gaming pc but still play mostly indie games.

  Are you sure you don’t have a dark mode extension on? It was black text for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or prefer to talk about what is affecting them, even if they do care about the situation in Russia, it’s pointless to talk about because the only way to affect it is through talking about people like trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Playing Outside Simulator coming 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Roblox came out in 2006? On what platform?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Open Source is so great...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LibreOffice is more than slightly worse, but FOSS projects cover the gamut. The thing about them is that the best ones are usually laser focused on exactly what the user needs, rather than what makes the most money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frog's Gift⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How much is it gonna cost us to create this new “D.O.G.E.” Department and pay Musk? The cost of these studies is completely irrelevant to the situation, like others have said the GOP props up ridiculous situations and makes it seem like they represent the entire situation, and they do it to disguise what they’re doing which is fleecing taxpayers money to private corps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frog's Gift⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah how much is this “office” going to cost the taxpayers? I would guess a lot more than $100k on a sunfish experiment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I download anything from Nexus Mods?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Calling nexus mods shady is hilarious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries programming in Java⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure thing, but op clearly isn’t a noob.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries programming in Java⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean they are lying because Java does support main as a top level function now. If this was written last year, sure. Also IntelliJ will literally install the jdk and manage it for you. Using asdf I haven’t had to touch the PATH for Java in probably over a decade (used sdkman before that).

  This entire post sounds like someone that last touched Java in 2010 and wanted to complain about it again. Java is shit, but for none of the reasons in the post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries programming in Java⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The date of the post is from this week so it’s not accurate at all. Java does support main outside of a class now, and it doesn’t need to be static, or take args. You wouldn’t use JavaFX in this day and age either. Installing the jdk is absolutely nothing especially if you’re using IntelliJ as it will install it for you and manage everything. No library is even close to 3gb.

  This entire post sounds like it was written by someone that last touched Java in 2010.

  Source: am a Kotlin dev. Java sucks. None of these are the reasons why.

  Hawaiian coffee is $25 a pound, at least it was when I bought some there a few years ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never even heard of it. Sounds excellent though. 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All of the 3 ninjas movies. I was telling my wife about them and was talking about how great they were (this was like a decade ago) and went to look them up. Like 0-15% on rotten tomatoes depending on which one.

  3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain is particularly bad at 0% critic score, 29% audience score, and a 3 on IMDb.

  I loved all the 3 ninjas movies so much though.
