- Comment on Are you even old enough to remember number 1? 8 hours ago:
9.
But I had a sliding faceplate on it so I could be cool like neo.
Also it had Snake.
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 8 hours ago:
Oh I remember OJ…but I said OKC bombing because most of what I remember from OJ, happening live, was towards the end of the trial. I didn’t watch it religiously and I remember being upset about it always being on.
OKC was in the middle of OJ, but it was one day, so it’s a bit easier to isolate in my memory.
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 8 hours ago:
Clearly, like vividly? OKC bombing. Think was 10.
I vaguely remember desert storm missle strike clips. I remember staying up to watch the ball drop in 91. But anything else on tv in the early 90s that didn’t involve mutant turtles, power rangers, Italian plumbers, or mortal kombat is a blank.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 9 hours ago:
I did. 1993 Saturn SL2. I bought that car for $1500 in 2000 when I was 16 and quite literally drove it until the wheels fell off (which then ended in me flipping over the car on the highway, but that’s a story for another day. That also ended with being the reason I can’t listen to “The Red” by Chevelle without a mild panic attack, also a story for another day.
The idea of buying a 7 year old car (with only 93k miles, at that) for $1500 just seems so foreign now.
All it needed was a muffler, too. I drove it for about a year and a half before I killed the clutch, and that was the most expensive repair it had.

Middle one is the new Providence viaduct change my mind.

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you. - Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
Samsung toyed with this idea with DexDock and there is support directly on some modern phones with most USB-C docks.
I just tried this out on my Pixel 8 Pro…“Enable Desktop experience features” in Developer Options, reboot, plugged in Dell dock…got an android “desktop” on two monitors. They were mirrors of each other, but they were separate from the display of the phone, and they were in the monitors native res. Keyboard and mouse worked. Ethernet off the dock worked, too. It didn’t use the USB webcam I had plugged into the dock.
The UI could use some polish. Android doesn’t really have great mouse support or really any keyboard shortcuts, and the apps themselves are built for a handheld, touchscreen experience.
For example…Firefox for android…pages would default to mobile view, text scaling would be way high (can’t pinch-zoom to make it smaller) and well-known shortcuts like Ctrl+MouseWheel, Ctrl+L, Ctrl±, etc wouldn’t work.
It could be great.
I would personally love for my “desktop experience” to be a low-power, silent, cool-running system (especially nowadays, with Moonlight and Steam streaming and various “cloud gaming” services getting to be pretty damn decent if your network can handle it…and being docked means not needing wifi).
I would love to have my laptop experience be nothing more than a dock with integrated keyboard/touchpad/screen.
I would love for these to be the same system.
But it’s not there yet.

IMO Microsoft made a decent mobile OS. I will give them that.
You know what else kicked ass and died too soon? Zune.
I really think both these were only bad because not enough people got them. Trying to enter a saturated market that already has two really big, established players is not easy.
Microsoft just really can’t go against Apple or Google.

I kinda wanna snuggle with a capybara in a tight sleeping bag, myself.
- Comment on Piping mouse 2 days ago:
Don’t rodents, and infact most Gilres, really enjoy being in tight confined spaces? Like, that comforta/relaxes them?
Same reason bunnies are totally chill hanging out inside the fake bottom of a magicians hat.

It could be bad and great at the same time. Like Jontron’s cover of Firework.

I tried to be like e. coli (mm)
But my flagellum’s got tired
- Comment on plump pumkins 6 days ago:
Giving farms water for practically free while private citizens have to buy it in bottles from the store because the water is either laden with e.coli or just…not there by the time it gets to them.
3000lb pumpkins aren’t something to be proud of. They are trophies of gluttony.
- Comment on ANTI PEE PAINT 6 days ago:
A lot of that had to do with domestic livestock living in densely populated areas.
Indigenous Americans didn’t have very many animals that lent themselves to domestication as easily as sheep and pigs and goats and chickens. Granted a lot of these animals were native to a bunch of different regions, but there was also commerce between those regions for a very long time.
- Comment on for future fireflies 6 days ago:
So…should we take the woods to prevent forest fireflies?
- Comment on egg time 1 week ago:
They wouldn’t independently evolve mammary glands, because only mammals have mammary glands, and they are not mammals, but mollusca.
I’d say that’s a bit of a chicken/egg situation, but I don’t think we need to bring in more classes.

Oh man. This is where my mind goes whenever I’m getting stoned with my chickens.
- Comment on Moon talk 1 week ago:
The investors that run all the shops in Hyrule have determined that they can use the male loneliness epidemic to redirect mens anger towards women, and then towards other minorities, so that they don’t start getting angry at the capitalists.
- Comment on Moon talk 1 week ago:
He doesn’t have to be on the winning side as long as the capitalists (that own all the news media) can convince him that he is.

Did Lemmy Science Memes give fossilworks.org the hug of death or was this posted somewhere big today too?

Do you secrete milk from mammary glands?
Bc that’s like legit the only requirement. We set the bar low. Not like those avians.
- Comment on Fear their power 1 week ago:
When you have that many sexes, I think everyone would just use they/them. Don’t want to assume incorrectly.
- Comment on celibate discussion 1 week ago:
Incels were a group of young men who were very easy to manipulate to further ingrain chauvinistic, pro-patriarchy norms. Objectifying women and treating sex like a birthright.
This was a stepping stone to swing them conservative and support Trump.
It’s pretty obvious now in retrospect. What ever happened with Cambridge Analytica, again?
- Comment on got this ad and uh 1 week ago:
Why don’t you have a seat right over there…
You said “Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber”, to which someone else responded “🔥”.
What did you mean by that?

I think it’s actually “gay nerd” flavored.

This sounds exactly like the cloth/disposable/n95 mask fighting a few years ago.
- Comment on Honestly Bizarre 1 week ago:
As the other comment implied, salads are a poor gauge as to whether something is treated as a vegetable.
Better to use a crudité. And button mushrooms (which are the same species as portabello!) belong in a crudité.
- Comment on Honestly Bizarre 1 week ago:
Badgers.
Mushroom mushroom.
- Comment on What a welcoming party 1 week ago:
Birth is pretty traumatic for babies to begin with.
You start off on this dark, warm room. Floating in a little bubble of fluid.
Then all of a sudden the bubble is gone. You’re squeezing headfirst through a hole smaller in size than a CD. It’s bright, it’s cold, it’s dry, and it’s loud. You have to start breathing and then you can’t stop or you die, but nobody tells you that right away. Someone slaps your butt and someone else cuts your blood tube to mom.
No wonder they come out screaming.
And that’s a typical, uncomplicated birth. Let’s not talk about suction cups or forceps or cesareans.
