  Yeah but why would it be on the front pages?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cookie combs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats what i said?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's get Physical⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL even just the first picture by itself… there’s only 1 reason it would be of any interest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's get Physical⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t speech to text but obviously no, I didn’t check.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's get Physical⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Their employees and partners probably WorldCom found out about it but it wouldn’t have become the eternal meme it is now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's get Physical⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It was kinda implied though right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cookie combs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that depends on the fiction between each item / cell, and the plane.

  I think soap bubbles for example will always form hexagons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this is how I feel.

  I get that the world is moving forward and I might be okd and whatever but I think that a physical photo album is still part of assumed general knowledge in 2025.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does AI use so much power?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Supercomputers once required large power plants to operate, and now we carry around computing devices in out pockets that are more powerful than those supercomputers.

  This is false. Supercomputers never required large [dedicated] power plants to operate.

  Yes they used a lot of power, yes that has reduced significantly, but it’s not at the same magnitude as AI

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does AI use so much power?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  None of that is terrifying at all /s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perspective⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  IKR. This was the obvious answer 24 hours ago but here we are discussing wear patterns and contrast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perspective⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is no one else talking about this.

  There’s no debate. It’s at the top of the stairs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the Labour police state⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are the protestors with signs saying they support palestinian action intending to state that they support the group or that they support action generally?

  Either way they’ve manufactured this issue to protest anti-terrorism laws right?

  Not sure if would die on this hill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The consensus throughout this post is that its the brand of TP.

  OP had a problem about cleaning, asked a question, received an answer, and know knows the solution which will enable them to clean their toilet.

  You’re here trying to shame someone for asking a question about cleaning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never seen this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck off.

  I knew this would be here.

  Q: “How do I clean my bathroom?”

  A: “I clean my bathroom you dirty pleb”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The bum gun does take some practice.

  You pretty much shuffle forward a little, position the BG behind the disaffected area, at an obtuse angle to your sphincter, ease on, I mean really ease on the gas until you can confirm that all splash is going down into the bowl, finally you can really pucker up and hit it.

  The thing is… you still need some TP to dry off after.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When is a community responsible for suicide to the point it should be shut down ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really know anything about the situation you cited.

  For any community hosted by a corporation like reddit, the answer has to be pretty much: no discussion of self harm in the first person will be tolerated.

  For communities hosted in the fediverse it’s more complex. If I were an admin, I wouldn’t allow a community to discuss self harm in the first person on my instance for a variety of reasons but most of them boil down to: Mods just don’t have the skills, experience, and resources to discern between what is an appropriate or inappropriate discussion or comment.

  While a safe place for this type of discussion could potentially be therapeutic in some way, the potential for harm is just too high.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alligator Auschwitz⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree.

  Perhaps that were true a decade ago.

  At this point though I don’t think supporting the republicans is really defensible.

  As in, anyone who is not racist would not support this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not a wallet. You’re an automaton producing value for capitalists.

  They dribble a little money into your wallet each fortnight so you can buy subscriptions and delivered take away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP America⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah.

  I’m in Australia, I suspect you might be also, but for reference a few months ago our centre-left party ground our centre-right party into the dust in a landslide election victory.

  I suppose I agree that its not all bad news.

  However, I’m gravely concerned about the US trajectory and I’m certain it will have an impact here sooner or later.

  Right now our PM is trying to negotiate the current tariffs. The US will want us to increase military spending, and reduce investment in science and research. We might resist, but it’s certainly pressure to move in the wrong direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP America⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont think anyone cares about money anymore.

  They can see the problems arising from climate change on the horizon and they’re creating a ruling class and a subservient class.

  If you’re part of the ruling class you dont need money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP America⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont think that’s it.

  It’s an overwhelming case of “got mine”.

  Like sanders said, being a GOP member just means staying in line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP America⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately I think Trumpism is lowering the bar. Maybe right now it’s not fascism everywhere, but there’s no doubt that on a decades time the world will be more fascist than it would have been without Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people especially men care if someone forgives a cheating partner⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whether to forgive a cheating partner is a divisive issue. Some people say it’s something they could never move past, others just don’t think it’s a big deal.

  I don’t think it’s necessarily men or women - its both. Probably more men commented on your boyfriend’s post because he’s a man.

  I can imagine it would be a pretty awful feeling to be in your position - you’ve acknowledged that you messed up, you’ve worked through it with your partner, and now all these people casting judgement on you without understanding the circumstances.

  There’s a lot of different aspects to this. The web is full of “drama llamas”. My guilty pleasure is reading /r/aitah posts, even though I know they’re fake it’s still really engaging and reading everyone’s comments is interesting. People say things online that they would just never say to your face. So comments are way more hurtful.

  My advice has two parts:

  ask your boyfriend to delete the post because the people commenting don’t really know you or the situation and it’s very hurtful

  Secondly think through what you would tell a good friend who had been through something like this, it’s probably something like "yeah you did mess up, but everyone does sooner or later, you’ve learned a lot and you’ve worked through it, " et cetera.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that we’ve been doing number 3 for decades. Sooner or later that has to lead to a revolution though right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re correct that this has always been the case in the past.

  Advances in technology free people up to do other productive things.

  I imagine that trend may stop some time, but I don’t think we’re there yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How streaming changed the way you watch TV⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interstitial cheese and pickle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are ways to independently make a few bucks on the side?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a tax consultant, so I see a lot of people’s side hustles.

  As other’s here have said, once you monetise a hobby it’s not a fun hobby anymore… just another responsibility.

  Take the beads thing for example. Carving some beads to make some cool jewellery sounds like a great hobby, and you could make some really amazing unique gifts for family. However, if you want to make money from it then you need to compete with other etsy vendors - you’ll very quickly find the pieces that sell and then it becomes a question of how many of those pieces you can turn out per hour or per day.

  Economically, making money requires time, or skill, or capital. The most appropriate will be a mix of all three that fits your circumstances. As a “side hustle” you kinda want a little of each rather than a lot of each. Good examples might be:

  • window cleaning - for businesses or residences
  • gutter cleaning - get one of those telescopic pole thingies with a camera so you don’t actually need to go on anyones roof
  • lawn mowing - just a few customers in your street

  These things aren’t “hobbies” but they will be a lot more satisfying, enjoyable, and profitable than carving beads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hugh White: why the AUKUS ‘dream’ was never realistic and is likely to die⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh.

  The fact that AUKUS is being reviewed is pretty meaningless. It should be reviewed by any incoming administration.

  We’re an attractive dance partner for the US:

  • we’re right where the US wants to have nuclear sub facilities
  • we’re a stable US partner over many decades
  • Trump needs friends who are not dictators
