• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what is the best fruit to leave in a fridge?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just take them out 1–2 days before you consume them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They usually feed the mom, IIRC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A hypothesis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Now include perclude and reclude! (Ok, I’m afraid English forgot to loot the last two from Latin’s pockets, after she robbed her in a dark alleyway)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easter can't come soon enough. ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only for the real thing. [Reenactors]m.youtube.com/watch?v=yZusqHYkVgU) don’t want to wreck their wrist and feet and use ropes for suspension and nails for show. A pretty damaging show, still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easter can't come soon enough. ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, they did use ropes, so this technique would work.

  I’m not entirely sure that there are no religious fanatics who reenact the crucifixion. Using ropes for fixation and putting nails through the center of the palm, they would avoid crippling their hands severely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only problem – which year? They’ve got different lengths.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just use the speed of light as base and measure the distance in time units (implying *c). 100 psc (lightpicoseconds) are a bit more than 1⅛ inch, 4 ~ 1 mm, 1 nsc (lightnanosecond) is 1 foot or 29.9 cm, 1 μsc (lightmicrosecond) ~ 299 m. Would be totally possible. Within city boundaries we should introduce a speedlimit of 1 pc (picolightspeed), pretty easy to implement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Come on, you are able to analize words! Fun is obviously fun, and ding is obviously an abbreviation for dingbats, so fun-ding is having fun with dingbats!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you were used to analog clocks, you’d read the remaining time just off the clock. As you would just read the time off it – no need for any translation or comparison, just one glimpse and you’d know it. For several decades this superiority of analog clocks was a main argument against the use of digital clocks. Digital clocks are more precise, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨one bright second⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC, the current theory is that stars do not move apart, but that space itself expands, which generates the impression that they move apart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a movie critic⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spotted the vim user! (sed doesn’t like missing slashes)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do boycotts work?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, back in the day they successfully ousted Mr. Boycott by boycotting him. So at least the first boycott successfully worked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say all of history until 1968?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here is a good video explaining the trend: youtube.com/watch?v=0arvnAlV_C4

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump posted this in Truth.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They will. Autocrats love public applause, and what public applause is greater than a 90+ % vote? Or do you know of any autocracy that does not have a ritual of approval called elections?

  Well, granted, military dictatorships usually don’t do this election thing. With all this ICE buildup, Department of War renaming, declaring war on gangs while redifining the Venuzuelan government as gang, and this Chipocalypse stuff Trump is cosplaying more and more as an unhinged warlord. I’m afraid you might be right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump posted this in Truth.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Next US presidential elections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump posted this in Truth.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There will be elections. All autocrats love elections. Being reelected with 90+ % just feels too good to not have them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good luck!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This image is far older than generative AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who could have predicted this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to agree. But I’m stuck with Windows at work. At the moment, our IT guys upgrade a couple of PCs a day from Win10 to Win11. The GUI sucks, and the complete network is getting slower and slower. I crave the good old DOS times, when the system used to be faster than me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit's getting real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m afraid another form of governing rule would not change the exploitation of the environment, animals or people - humans always exploited the environment and animals regardless of the system of government or economics. We’d need a cultural shift from an individualistic self-centered culture to a culture that accepts our position as one part of a complex interconnected ecological and social network.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit's getting real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Farming has an far greater impact on the ecosystem. There is no way to live for humans without completely reshaping their environment. We evolved as an invasive species.

  If you’re moral argument to call for a boycott of honey is honey bee’s impact on the ecosystem rather than their enslavement and exploitation to humans, your only reasonable moral course of action is Fruitarianism using only fruits growing in the wild - basically an Orang Utan or Gorilla lifestyle. That choice has been made some 4-5 million years ago, when our ancesters became an invasive species in the savanna and began our first reshaping of ecosystems. Good luck reversing that choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit's getting real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad you asked. Fruitarians have an answer to that moral dilemma.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tried naming the states from memory as a European⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s far to rural…

  Sorry, Appalachia does not exist in European mental maps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit's getting real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  💯

  It has to do with the exploitation of insects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holee shiet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well… black holes are not cool, either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holee shiet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt this would work. The sun runs on hydrogen fusion. Adding water is just adding fuel to fire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA Connect. How do I get in contact with a real Human?? Need Support.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  www.ea.com/de-de/legal/impressum-swiss

  I don’t know about other jurisdictions, but German websites are legally required to have some info including postal address about who owns the site, called impressum.

  I think US firms have a similar requirement for the licence agreement? Not sure about thid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA Connect. How do I get in contact with a real Human?? Need Support.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What about Contact_EAHelp@ea.com?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA for those in America⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cats are the dominant species. Well, actually ants, but cats are a close second.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP America⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you.
