You know, that is actually a good wish. Helps other people, and not selfish like most wishes. Also a lot more tangible than "world peace".
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or has Windows 11 gotten way worse the last few years?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
It looks like you've got the reverse experience of a Windows users who has to use Linux sometimes.

It looks like the guys in leather are photoshopped into the image.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Linux? Those guys who like to talk about themselves?"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
There is not a comment in this thread worthy of a shitpost, just lots of boasting how great Linux is. The Linux users don't even get the irony of this. But, you're technically correct.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is leadership valued so much over expertise?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Because bosses always want to make more money than the people they're bossing. But, also because leadership is responsible, I (engineer) wouldn't want to take the responsibilities of my boss for the same pay.

This reasoning also means you're old enough to be a parent. Technically correct, and it happens I guess.

Danmark actually has pre historic construction. But, you could very much see dolmens as stacked rocks, more than the pyramids.

Good for you!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Extremely common red dwarf L⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Purple earth hypothesis suggests that early photosynthesis wasn't chlorophil based, but on a simpler molecule (retinal) which is purple colored. The Canfield ocean was supposed to have followed this time yielding a turquoise life, where the ocean was anoxic and sulfidic. That was then replaced during the great oxigenation event which lead to the current green earth.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Extremely common red dwarf L⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If you look at stuff like the purple earth hypothises, the Canfield ocean, I'd definitely go with life finds a way.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's with black superheroes and lightning powers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
A pornstar from my country (decades ago) said that she preferred working with black men because of the contrast on screen. Totally unrelated tidbit, but it makes sense to me that the same goes here.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anybody actually work from 09:00 to 17:00⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
In the Netherlands: blue collar mostly 7:30 - 16:00, white collar half an hour or an hour later.

I'm sorry, but such a statement is just waiting for someone to google it; NASA used metric for the Apollo missions.

Sowieso geen stroopwafel.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon carpools⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It's not. The Dutch are too direct for that.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon carpools⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
LOL, hagelslag is just something to put on your bread like peanut butter or cheese. Some like it, some don't, but I wouldn't offer a coworker breakfast if they were to pick me up for work.

On-topic; this story is the kind of thing you hear about, but never experience. It's something that could almost happen, but you'd have to be a cheap skate by Dutch standards to actually do this.

Since about three years, there are wolves roaming in my area. I'm still fat.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post title lol⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

Your comment triggered me to ask an LLM to create it, and it came up with something. I'm not going to test it though, so we'll never know if it works. I'd advise anyone not to try it. It gave links to an image and a sound file that gave a 404 error. LLM output:

Here’s a complete Firefox extension that replaces the text "lol" with a TIE Fighter image, plays a sound on hover, and changes the image on click.

🔧 Firefox Extension: “Lol to TIE Fighter”

Manifest File (manifest.json)

{
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "name": "Lol to TIE Fighter",
  "version": "1.0",
  "description": "Replaces 'lol' with a TIE Fighter image and plays sound on hover.",
  "permissions": [
    "activeScript",
    "scripting",
    "https://example.com/*"
  ],
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["<all_urls>"],
      "js": ["content.js"]
    }
  ],
  "background": {
    "scripts": ["background.js"]
  },
  "options_page": "options.html"
}

Content Script (content.js)

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
  function replaceTextNodesWithImages() {
    const walker = document.createTreeWalker(document.body, NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT, null, false);
    let node;
    while (node = walker.nextNode()) {
      if (node.textContent.includes("lol")) {
        const img = document.createElement("img");
        img.src = "https://example.com/tie-fighter.png"; // Replace with your image URL
        img.style.width = "20px";
        img.style.height = "20px";
        img.style.display = "inline-block";
        img.style.cursor = "pointer";

        // Sound on hover
        img.addEventListener("mouseover", () => playSound());

        // Blow up on click
        img.addEventListener("click", () => blowUp(img));

        node.replaceWith(img);
      }
    }
  }

  replaceTextNodesWithImages();
});

function playSound() {
  const audio = new Audio("https://example.com/sound.mp3"); // Replace with your sound URL
  audio.play();
}

function blowUp(img) {
  img.src = "https://example.com/blowup.png"; // Replace with a larger image or "none"
  img.style.width = "40px";
  img.style.height = "40px";
}

Image and Sound Requirements
TIE Fighter Image: Replace the URL in content.js with a public domain image. Example:
TIE Fighter Image from Wikipedia
Sound Effect: Replace the URL with a .mp3 file hosted on your server. Example:
Sound Effect from FreeSound.org
🛠️ How to Use
Create the files:
manifest.json
content.js
Load the extension in Firefox:
Go to about:debugging in Firefox.
Click Add Extension and select the folder with your files.
Test on any website with “lol” text.
⚠️ Notes
Image/Sound URLs: Replace the URLs with your own hosted or public domain assets.
Performance: This script runs on every page, so consider optimizing for large sites.
Security: Ensure the image and sound URLs are secure to avoid errors.
This extension replaces “lol” with a TIE Fighter image, plays a sound on hover, and expands the image on click. Adjust the URLs to match your assets!

I'm assuming this company is related to the Boston Cabot family, who once were the closest think the US had to royalty (and who originally made their money with slave trade). I don't think anything they are involved in gets owned by the employees.
