I would argue polyester is worse than leather for the environment, but to each their own.

Ok, so you just weren’t reading then I guess? Because this is about Burger King, not McDonalds. And you can get a plain whopper with just the bun vs a plain impossible whopper and it’s the same case, they will taste identical.

All that crap? You mean buns?
- Comment on Why Should I... 1 week ago:
But then that wouldn’t be a burger…
- Comment on Why Should I... 1 week ago:
don’t try and tell me a plant based burger tastes the same as a normal burger
Go to burger king. Get a regular whopper and an impossible whopper. They are literally indistinguishable. Well, until an hour later when the impossible whopper gives you a ton of gas lol.

Why is the word “causation” photoshopped on? What word was there originally that would have changed the meaning enough to warrant photos hopping a different word there?
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 3 weeks ago:
I’m still not following. Most non-tub showers look exactly like OP’s picture except they have a sliding/swinging door.
What do you mean by elevated threshold? You mean that small ~3inch lip that is also present in OP’s picture?
- Comment on A customized delivery experience 5 weeks ago:
Yes, and for centuries, leaving your house while drunk to go get food was a viable option because walking or riding a horse while drunk is a lot safer than driving a car.
Then we got cars, and the roads became dangerous. And yes, there was a brief period where there were no delivery services from restaurants. But very quickly, restaurants realized they could get more sales if they offered to deliver food to people for reasons like the many I listed above.
So to be clear, are you pining for that brief period of time a handful of decades long, between the time of cars being widely adopted and restaurants offering delivery and using that as an example we should all return to?
- Comment on A customized delivery experience 5 weeks ago:
They ordered pizza or Chinese or some local store that had their own delivery drivers. That doesn’t exist anymore.
Oh sorry, was this supposed to be some dumbass “gotcha” that completely ignores reality?
- Comment on A customized delivery experience 5 weeks ago:
Yea dude. Not wanting to drive after drinking is just laziness.
- Comment on A customized delivery experience 5 weeks ago:
Because if your car has broken down, or you’re exhausted from a long day of work and your family is hungry, or you’re too drunk to safely drive but still want food, or if you straight up don’t have a car and don’t want to cook that night, or you are on vacation at a hotel or airbnb and don’t have other access to food, or you have a baby that you can’t just leave alone for a few minutes to go pick the food up, or you are in the middle of a study session and it would be more convenient to have the food come to you rather than going to get it.
Looks like there’s lots of reasons people might take advantage of the service that can deliver food to them, and it’s not unreasonable for them to expect that service to not completely fuck it up.

- Comment on Correlation == Causation? 1 month ago:
If it was during totality, and you were actually in the path of totality, there is no harm looking at the sun, even with magnification. But ONLY during totality and ONLY if you are firmly within the path.
During the last solar eclipse, I had my telescope set up and knew we had just over 4 minutes. Once it went dark, I quickly got it aimed and saw the corona in all its glory. Literally the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my life. But I also had a stopwatch going as soon as totality started, and at 3 minutes I stopped and wouldn’t let anyone look through anymore. Even the tiniest sliver would be enough for serious eye damage.
So yea, it’s safe, but not a single second before, and not a single second after.

Not sarcasm, but a bit of hyperbole. There is no court mandated maximum IQ for cops. There was an incident where a candidate was rejected because he scored too high on an IQ test. The candidate sued for discrimination, but the courts said that it wasn’t illegal for them to reject him on that basis alone.
- Comment on Hey Lemmy. I hate Facebook. But I miss Marketplace. So I built Garage as a means to reclaim Melb's 2nd hand marketplace from Meta (cause fuck Zuck). It's pretty new but check it out below 1 month ago:
I see Craigslist’s main problem as a little different than scammers. It’s local pawn shops that flood the site with ads. It’s hard to find individuals selling discounted stuff for cheap when 90% of all posts are the same 3 pawn shops selling their marked up crap.

Alright, since you didn’t like my last explanation for some reason, let me try again.
You know how when you stick your hand out of a moving car, you feel a massive rush of wind, even if it’s not windy out? Ok, so imagine sticking a portal out of a moving car, what do you think happens to the air? Does it come to a dead stop after it exits the portal? Why not? The air itself wasn’t moving, only the car with the portal was.
Solids in this case will work the same way. It doesn’t matter if a solid is moving toward the portal, or the portal is moving toward it, what matters is the relative velocity.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 1 month ago:
From the orange portals frame of reference, the cube, and everything else in the world, is rushing toward it. So the cube (as well as the entire world around it) has a velocity relative to the orange portal.
But only the cube goes through the portal, the rest of the world does not come with it. At that point, the frame of reference changes. You can think of it like this: The cube has an velocity of X with respect to reference frame Y; once it leaves the portal, it keeps that velocity X but the reference frame changes from Y to Z. The velocity doesn’t disappear.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 1 month ago:
Frame of reference. If a person is hit by a train, from their perspective, they were standing still and the train was moving. But a person in the train can stand up and walk around without difficulty, they can stand on one foot and balance, they can jump up and down and not go flying away; so they are standing still from the trains perspective, it’s everyone and everything outside the train that’s moving.
What happens isn’t a transfer of momentum or energy or velocity; it’s a change in the frame of reference. That can’t happen in real life and breaks a lot of different laws of physics, so people are having trouble wrapping their brain around it.
The portals are a frame of reference. Both the IN and OUT portals have their own, separate frame of reference. The player’s reference doesn’t actually factor into it. When you go through a portal, you are switching from the IN frame of reference, to the OUT frame of reference. And in this situation, the IN frame of reference has you flying toward the portal at whatever speed it’s approaching you.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 1 month ago:
In that situation both portals (the inside and the outside window frame) have equal, but opposite velocities and therefore cancel out any momentum from the person.
When dealing with OP’s scenario, only one portal is moving.

I always considered myself centrist, which by today’s standards makes me a radical leftist. At some point the Overton Window flew past me and is now a far off speck in the distance.
- Comment on Centrist Democrats Rebuke Party’s Left Wing: ‘We Are Capitalist, Not Socialist’ 1 month ago:
Damn, do you just never pay attention to history? Millennials might start voting more, but Gen Z and younger will not. Why?
Because young people don’t vote. Every fucking election people smoke pure hopium and say “This is the year! The youth are fired up! They’re going to turn out in record numbers and bring about change!” And every fucking election it is the lowest voting demographic, by a HUGE margin.
Young people don’t vote. I do not fucking care what the circumstances are and what you are seeing from online discorce. Young people do not vote.
And if you are holding out for the aging Millennials starting to go to the polls, well expect to keep holding that weight for a long time. Older millennials are beginning to drift more conservative. “How can that be?!” You ask. “Certainly they have been noticing all the stuff going on!” And to that I say; no, they absolutely are not. They are raising families. They are focused on their careers as they start to move into middle/upper management. They are getting dumber just as all generations do once they pass ~40. And conservatism attracts dumb people like flies to a honey-covered statue of a sexy fly.
The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Ok, sure. But I want you to answer that question. At what age will you start being suspicious? I want you to have a number in your head, so that when that time comes, you don’t ignore it.

Anime has a pervert problem. Any other media would get raked over the coals for how much and how often the characters are sexualized, especially in stories where it doesn’t fit. I can’t But in anime, it’s just brushed off because its become so normalized, but it really shouldn’t be.
Think about this, other than porn, what was the last piece of non-anime media you’ve seen that featured a girl’s panties? Not a woman. Not an adult getting dressed. But an underaged girl’s panties. Because that shit is everywhere in anime, and it’s played off as cute or funny. It’s fucking gross.

I started asking this a few years ago to people as kind of a joke, but it’s less of a joke now:
At what age of Trump still being alive will you go “wait a second…” and start to suspect there is a drug or treatment that the elite have access to that extends their life that they aren’t telling the public about?
I don’t mean better access to higher quality medical care. I don’t mean a personal team of doctors. I mean a drug or treatment that can extend lifespans by decades, even for those who live unhealthy lifestyles.
