- Comment on Uber severely limits tips (<30%) 10 hours ago:
They could get one of those little credit card terminals that attach to your phone but that’s kind of a pain to have to pull that out if someone wants to tip more. Easier would probably be just listing their cashapp or Venmo or whatever username and having it posted somewhere in the vehicle. But then you’d probably get that one customer who ruins it for everyone by like reporting it to Uber like ‘i felt pressured to leave an extra tip’

I mean at that point why not just put the whole loop of cable over the charger block?
- Comment on Yeah, the Harvard Bellevue cemetery 2 days ago:
Then it just wouldn’t be very secure. What would be holding it in place?
- Comment on Yeah, the Harvard Bellevue cemetery 2 days ago:
People usually want them so they can run Christmas lights the wrong way, either because theyve already strung them up backwards or they’re too dumb to figure out a better solution, but the end result if one end is left unplugged is an enormous amount of power just running loose at the exposed end. Even if you just wanted to plug it into the same outlet as a joke, if you plugged one end and touched the prongs on the other end while in the process of plugging the other side in, you’re pretty fucked.
- Comment on Frog and Toad go to Mars 4 days ago:
I mean if you just go to sleep before it kicks in that’s pretty much backing out. You might have some weird dreams or a trippy walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night. But if you really regret it and want to just skip the fun, just go lay down in the dark and close your eyes. Maybe put some quiet chill music on if that helps you sleep.
- Comment on It was one time OK! 5 days ago:
The second one is not even remotely frog-related though?
- Comment on Do you cheat in games? 6 days ago:
Yeah there were a huge amount of cheat codes and a whole culture around finding and abusing glitches and stuff back in the day. Not sure what OP experienced but it’s not what I remember. If anything I think people are more intense now about ‘playing the game as intended’. Which, personally, I get. I, myself, want to play through the whole game at least once without cheating. But if it’s just to screw around and not to skip something, or if it’s a part I’ve gotten through before but I just want to skip ahead, then yeah I’ll fuck around with some cheats.
- Comment on Why does the microwave button have a "popcorn" button when every microwave popcorn brand says "DO NOT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON"? 2 weeks ago:
I mean most microwaves I use have a scale of 1-10 for power that changes how long it pulses for. For heating up leftovers with different densities it can be really handy, or anything that’s like multiple different types of food. Full plates of thanksgiving leftovers or Chinese food come to mind. Instead of ending up with some things being molten and some being cold in the center, chuck that baby on for 60-70% power and it really helps to distribute the heat more evenly.
- Comment on Your package has finally arrived 2 weeks ago:
It works, it’s just a little different of a control scheme than you’re used to. You’ve really gotta get it up there before itll start working though, if it’s not deep enough it won’t be able to read the inputs correctly.
- Comment on Buddha orders a pizza: "Make me One with Everything" 2 weeks ago:
Reminds me of the kind of think you’d read in a Douglas Adams book.
- Comment on As of today, I have stopped using Reddit entirely. 3 weeks ago:
Low effort is not taking the time to understand what instances even are or how they work. It’s literally not the same. There’s many other instances and communities that are blocked by lemmy.world so how would you know?
- Comment on As of today, I have stopped using Reddit entirely. 3 weeks ago:
Saying this unironically while using a Lemmy.world account. Try some other instances that don’t ban/defederate from absolutely everything that doesn’t fit their tiny reddit-shaped minds before actually complaining.

Every time someone uses the acronym KYC I can’t help but think it stands for ‘Kill your Children’.

That’s what the shoes are for
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Yeah like the sun only feels good on your face because it’s such a contrast to feeling cold or wet or stress and tightness in your skin and muscles, or pain. There isn’t something inherently magical about the sun on your face. It’s nice because it feels so much better in comparison to most of the sensations we usually feel.
- Comment on It's Burning Man 2026 week... 2 months ago:
I mean, it seems like you’re reading a lot of shit into the meme, that maybe you need to just come to terms with the fact that yes, our living conditions are way worse than they should be at our current level of development and technology, due to the system we live in. Or, you know, just stick your head deeper in the sand and ignore reality until your subconscious causes you to have random outbursts on a shit post.
- Comment on Elons not a gamer. 2 months ago:
I mean, even if it was I feel like that would just be being annoyingly pedantic. I wouldn’t describe quitting a game in the opening sequence as having ‘played’ that game.
- Comment on one could not possibly time this better 2 months ago:
The sound starts off with a guy saying ‘yo one time I saw a dude just blow a red light’. Then the truck goes through and the rest of the video is all “yoooo” and “wooah” and “dude what the fuck”

The picture is not real though.
- Comment on Like a log 2 months ago:
I thought that entire cat was a cast for way too long. I was trying to figure out what I was looking at but I thought it was some kind of animal in a full body cast. Don’t ask me to elaborate because I can’t even see it anymore even if I try, once I saw the cat it disappeared.

And ironically, more corn.
- Comment on Skill Issue 😓 3 months ago:
If you’re my manager and I really like you enough to actually want to help out it’s because of 4 main things:
- I’m compensated appropriately
- I know my extra help will be appreciated and include extra compensation
- This isnt a regular occurrence and the position isnt chronically short-staffed
- You bust your ass to make sure things get done before you try to pass the work on to someone else.
Without those 4 things I don’t care how cool of a person you are or how great your personality is, you’re a shit manager and you’re doing a shit job and I’m not going to pick up your slack.
- Comment on Keep puffin, dork. 3 months ago:
The only thing that could make sucking on some titties better is if they dispensed drugs. I’ve never tried it with a woman who’s lactating and it’d probably be kinda hot as a novelty, but the milk is not the selling point, I’m interested in the tits themselves. So I wouldn’t say I miss breastfeeding, I’d just usually rather be sucking on some titties than whatever else I’m doing. Also I just really like nicotine.

Yeah seriously. Playing Mario and duck hunt, then jumping up to mario 64 and goldeneye, and then half life 2 a few years later was absolutely wild.

Or they are overly literal and second guessed their initial reading of it. Something I could definitely see an autistic or ADHD kid doing.
- Comment on Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground? 4 months ago:
It’s cooler underground because it’s well insulated. That also means it’s incredibly difficult to get rid of any waste heat. With artificial lighting, electronics, hell even just people moving around, that’s a ton of heat being out that needs to go somewhere. Not to mention the amount of ventilation that would be required just to have breathable air. Are you imagining people driving around on underground roads?
- Comment on james 4 months ago:
For some people standard of living isn’t absolute, it’s relative. They don’t judge by how comfortable they are or how much they can do with what they have, they judge based on how much better off they are than everyone else. For these people standard of living rising for everyone else would be equivalent to theirs dropping massively. It’s pretty fucked up.
- Comment on This has gotten out of hand and I demand satisfaction. 4 months ago:
Toppings and complex flavor profiles are a gateway to other forms of complexity, like complex thought and self-awareness. Dad doesn’t want that kind of liberal propaganda being fed to him.

I don’t care how adept you are at reading an analog clock, there’s no way it’s faster than simply reading a (max) 4 digit number unless you have some massive dyslexia.
