  Open question to the floor: what is the most “Ska” song I could send to someone? Like the most iconic or the most “Ska” a song could possibly be.

  Ew. Gross. I liked not knowing better. Ah well, at least I can’t check it myself so I don’t really care much. I didn’t want oemmy to feel like a competition like I used to feel occasionally with r*ddit.

  Also this is the first time I’ve noticed my name doesn’t show up as “Miles O’brien” for everyone. Now I’m sad :(

  Honestly I’ve thought cm002 was a bot before as well, but they engage in comment sections often enough to say either it’s not, or it’s a user hopping on to check bot progress.

  Either way, most likely case is it’s a user that saw a funny meme, and reposted it since not every sire is federated with others and some communities might not see it, especially if it’s to a world or ml domain.

  Possibly related, I did not see your post from this morning, this is my first time seeing it. Not sure about federation between instances but yeah.

  Also tangentially related, anyone remember the huge r*ddit drama over a poweruser constantly reposting things with top comment responses to farm karma? That was a fun glance into people who take imaginary internet points too seriously. I’m glad lemmy doesn’t keep track of total votes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asking any AI on how to build a guillotine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d rather just use the internet and look around for an hour or two.

  Wastes way less water and power than asking a single question of an LLM and I’ll have a much better idea of how to accomplish my goal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand credit scores⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Luigi (who I am not convinced actually did it) only stopped at one.

  I bet if we kept going, things would change pretty substantially.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand credit scores⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s insane to me.

  I have money to buy something, and I’m being refused the sale despite this money being legal tender.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand credit scores⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The rich fail up and everyone else has to play by the rules or get fucked over.

  You’re playing by their rules, and it only matters as long as we allow them to not play by the rules.

  I bet they’d stop doing it if they got literally ripped into pieces by horses. Or a horse’s solar-powered motorized equivalent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand credit scores⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  100% spot on.

  It’s absolutely a scam designed to extract even more wealth from the poors.

  No joke, I’ve had a car dealership tell me they can’t sell me the car I want because my credit score was nonexistent (no credit history in 7 years). I was paying in full, in cash, literally in an envelope in my hand.

  Grand total of 8k, all in 100s, super easy to count.

  But no, I didn’t have a “good enough credit score” so I couldn’t buy that car from them, despite having the money to do so.

  Mental gymnastics on that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t made it past s3 of Quantum Leap yet, but the bit with god sound super dumb, so I’m hoping you’re right and I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

  Krycek in X-Files was a piece of shit and I hated him. 10/10 performance from Nicolas Lea. Haven’t finished the series yet.

  Damn, I keep burning myself out by binging a series and never finishing them…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, by then we had Ronald Reagan, so…

  It’s always been a joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lol, lmao even.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And the average person has (usually) no idea if what they’re being fed is even correct. But as long as it sounds correct to someone who has no idea…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh yes daddy credit please⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes perfect sense when viewed from “the credit companies work with lenders to ensure your credit only rises if you’re constantly in more and more debt but still paying it like an obedient little wage slave”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.

  I make knives and I really want to let one sit in honey for a week to see if it gives it an acid wash.

  I have other acids that work much quicker, but I’m having a bit of a giggle at making a pattern-welded steel butter knife and calling it my “Honey Knife”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because we have knives already in our kitchens, and they don’t take up extra space in a drawer that would otherwise go to another more useful utensil.

  Also my cheese slicers have all been cheap as shit and snap after a few months, and the nice heavy duty one I had with a replaceable wire got lost in the move earlier this year and they discontinued it and I’m sad.

  Half the time when you see someone walking around with the wrong amount of pips, it’s just delicious street corn

  Dude… It’s SALT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Management lingo irritates me the most actually⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, having been on reddit for over a decade before I left, I’d agree that there is a superiority complex present on reddit when someone asks for clarification on an acronym.

  Without fail, if someone used acronyms that might be considered by some to be “common knowledge”, and another user asks what that means, they’ll get down votes and sometimes even a “are you joking? Everyone knows it means blah blah blah” or similar comment.

  I once saw a person get over 50 down votes for asking “what does ETA mean?” when the OP meant “edited to add”. I had never seen anyone use it to mean something other than “estimated time of arrival” and was mildly confused by the “ETA” at the top of the comment. Not one single person explained what it meant. Just down votes. I had no idea either at the time, and didn’t care enough to do some light searching.

  I’d say the business ones are dependent on where you work. I’ve never worked in a corporate setting where I’d imagine they’re more common, so I can’t really comment on that part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make me feel like a man⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, you’re wrong about the intro, but ENT still gets a HELL YEAH from me.

  (the intro is a jam, but it’s so out of place for me I can’t enjoy it while binging, I usually listen to it in the car a few times while watching the show)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Landlords province nothing to society, they are leeches who profit off others hard work simply because they “own the property” the worker lives on and takes care of.

  Save a tree, axe a landlord.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever young⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I can go 3 days without playing Rimworld and I’ve completely forgotten what was happening, and half of my mods are unfamiliar again so I have to start over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever young⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was ranked in the top 10 for pistol kills in modern warfare 3 for over a year and a half.

  Then I lost interest in fps games for a few months. Tried to come back and play with some friends, and completely sucked ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy dying?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw a post asking the same thing the day I joined lemmy dot world with my first account.

  That was a couple years ago now. I think I’m on my third instance?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Psychological Warfare & Manipulation using flattery.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Smeagol/Gollum wasn’t quite a hobbit, according to Tolkien.

  So either way, no evil hobbits.

  Even Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.

  To me it’s felt more like “look at me I’m so unique”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is capitalism or consumerism at fault?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “are corporations whose sole purpose is to extract as much money from the masses as possible with no thoughts to anything else up to and including destroying the house it occupies in order to maximize profits to blame for the world around us? Or is it those dirty fucking people with all their bad gross nasty purchasing of the things the corporation shoves down their throats?”

  I’m sorry but did a CEO write this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...will continue until...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Having ridden in Ye Olde Wagons before, this is actually what you should do.

  Get out, unload whatever weight you can, and make the wagon as light as possible, then you try to get it out by unburying the wheels and putting something hard for them to roll on.

  we had 2x10 boards (and a few small 2x4 chunks) in the wagon and shovels, as the route we were using was through cow pastures and corn fields.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEGO Star Trek Enterprise REVIEW⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  $399.99

  Lol

  Lmao, even

  I ain’t buying that shit. I will happily buy two 3d printers, upgrade them, and print a giant coffee table sized version before I spend that much on such a small set.
