Nah my cats always come running when i shake the treat bag
- Comment on So unfair 1 week ago:
I think that was a particular brand that some people started to use as a generic name like kleenex
- Comment on So unfair 1 week ago:
Yes, but also don't fucking smoke where other people have to smell and inhale it if they don't want too. That part is NOT what all the previous generations fought so hard for
- Comment on Complete lunacy. A toaster... really... a toaster? 2 weeks ago:
And instead of paying 20 bucks for a toaster, these smart toaster allow you to spend several hundred on it instead! I just looked it up, and this isn't an exaggeration. The prices i saw ranged from about 200 - 500 dollars
- Comment on There was a time when people had to deal with all of these being separate 2 weeks ago:
Young people today are increasingly choosing to have separate dedicated-purpose devices. And that's probably a good thing. It decreases distractions, lets you focus on what you're actually trying to do, and makes you less addicted to your phone, and avoids the always-connected evils that come with it
- Comment on Interesting how if you live close to something famous like the pyramids or the NYC skyline you just take it for granted. 2 weeks ago:
I lived my whole life in nyc and i try to imagine what it would be like to come from a smaller place and see skyscrapers for the first time. I can never really imagine what it's like

Cocaine.
He's like if the "van down by the river" character was in charge of microsoft
- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 3 weeks ago:
Except that would alter the space of the person behind you
- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 3 weeks ago:
I assume his "now" is a typo for "not". But obviously that's just an assumption
- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 3 weeks ago:
Agreed, each person should have their own space that no other passenger can alter. If you want to recline it should be within your own space. For example the seat butt should slide forward, or you should get an angled pillow to put behind your back. Or alternatively all seats should be reclined 100% of the time and you should get an up-slanted pillow for your back so you can sit upright.
However it's done, everyone should have the exact same amount of space that no one else can alter

The crew didn't ask him not to, OP asked him not to
- Comment on Haiku 4 weeks ago:
Sure that's fine. I guess more broadly the rule should be that you can't alter anyone else's space
- Comment on Haiku 5 weeks ago:
Airplane seats shouldn't have a recline function.

Beck is that you?
- Comment on Literally exactly how it works, too. 1 month ago:
Nothing to agree or disagree with, you're factually incorrect. The observer effect has nothing to do with whether someone's eyes are looking toward it or not. It basically just means when a process is happening and anything external occurs to it then that will change the way the process is happening.

For real, nude sleep is the most comfortable and i assume the healthiest

It was a huge story, if you Google "sony rootkit" you'll find a million results
- Comment on Reptilian Boomertron 9000 1 month ago:
iirc I've heard about this device from memes for a few years now. Is it actually coming to market or is it vaporware?
- Comment on Extreme screen glare 1 month ago:
To me that's a non-workable answer. You have to make the screen painfully bright to drown out visible reflections. The screen brightness literally has to be brighter than the brightest light source that's creating reflections

I know you were going for a creative writing thing, but even still this gives manic vibes, and it may be a sign that you should get checked out by a psychiatrist

Literally just type "stickers" into your searchbar

- Comment on Do people eat this? 4 months ago:
You're half right. Wiki says it's been around since at least Victorian times, but the modern version revival happened as you say .
- Comment on It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00 4 months ago:
Yeah midnight 00:00:00 represents that doomsday has happened. Even if 100,000 nuclear missiles were already in the air hurtling to their targets, that still technically wouldn't be 00:00:00

- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 4 months ago:
He must be fucking with you if he says the sun got replaced by an LED. Forget about the color stuff, ask him how the sun got replaced.
