Yes, I downvote youtube links.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 1 day ago:
How did I take it? They still have it. Theft is defined as depriving the owner of property (in most places).
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 1 day ago:
I actually liked the crust after the change. It’s not great, but it was better than most other chains.

I can commit some homo beans to this farce. Do you prefer them as virgin edibles or simply edible?
- Comment on i made this 2 days ago:
Depending on who you listen to, you could say we’re all viruses with some nasty homo genes stopping us from being transcribed.

- Comment on Peak Trump Performance 4 days ago:
The best thing about pickleball with trump would be the chances of injury. I can’t tell you how many broken wrists I’ve seen from them falling.
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 4 days ago:
There’s already talk from Trump’s goverment that they are considering special IDs being required.
Fucking hell, I hadn’t heard about this yet.

Is it just me, or does the tail of the plane look like a :0 faced bird with its wings raised?
- Comment on Marten, I know that guy! 5 days ago:
Was there ever any marten mentioned besides the pine marten with the red cloak in the martin the warrior book? I think there was one in the pearls of lutra, on the island kingdom?
Shoot, it’s been so long I can’t remember.
- Comment on Marten, I know that guy! 5 days ago:
Lol, and here I thought it looked like something that got chucked into a field of freshly bloomed flowers. Just cover thyself in pollen, mammal, and return to my embrace.
- Comment on SPIRIT WEAPON 5 days ago:
If I wanted to eat slightly warm or cold cheese, I’d pick better options than cream cheese. You gotta dress up a cheesecake to make it anything but mundane.
- Comment on SPIRIT WEAPON 5 days ago:
Wouldn’t 40k, depending on who and where, be something like, “Open meal package. Place 200g water in package. Close package and shake for 40 seconds. Open package and eat.” Civilian worlds you can just make up whatever, just like the scenario designers do. Want a US-lite world? Got one. Want a world reminiscent of 1800s UK? Got two.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 days ago:
Yep. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but valve dropping support for windows 7 was what made me switch to linux. Until the computer stops working for the average user, they won’t change.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 days ago:
Noooooo. There was an article in the last 6 months about someone connecting a windows xp to the internet just to see what happened, and within 10 minutes it had been scanned and infected. They repeated the experiment several times.
It’s child’s play (like, literally script kiddie level) to run automated scans and if a vulnerability, like a really old operating system, is found to then attack it.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 6 days ago:
You can see it in the various ‘asklemmy’ communities. When I was left wondering if we were being brigaded by folks from nostupidquestions or having a bot trying to drive engagement with simpleminded stuff, I knew the original lemmy feeling was about to be gone.
It makes me a little grumpy that I have to experience the eternal september.
- Comment on lagomorphs 6 days ago:
I think someone mentioned once that there are places where rabbits are legally required to be sold with their head still attached, because otherwise it was possible to pass off a decapitated cat as a rabbit.
- Comment on Note: before tariffs 6 days ago:
It’s funny, because I actually enjoy the less realistic versions, like ship of fools. Void crew was fun and all, but didn’t tickle my biscuit enough. Sea of thieves was just sort of… boring. It took too long to get into the fun, and then the fun was over too quickly.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 6 days ago:
Lol, and here I was imagining the average lemming as a mid 30s-40s dude with a linux thinkpad and a preference for femboys with long socks.
- Comment on Anon orders food 6 days ago:
When you’re walking alone in the dark all big burly and bearded and just hear a voice calling out sexualizing you it’s scary
The fear is from the group dynamics more than anything else. Gender almost plays no part in it. Age plays almost no part in it. There are several stories about a group of teens attacking a lone adult, and it goes just about as you’d expect. Anyone who is alone and suddenly becomes the focus of attention by a group will (and probably should) become worried, whereas if you’re in a group the (that is, your) reaction can be anything from ignoring to playing along because you have less to fear. All of us can imagine the difference between walking in a group or by yourself when getting catcalled. Most of us have probably seen the difference.
- Comment on Bubble Wrap! 6 days ago:
As someone who is in the medical field, I am so sorry when I do that, but it is so much fun. You get to please a colleague, get intrigued and fascinated in a pair, and tell the patient that whatever their problem was is now known! Most of the time it also means you can actually start to help the patient, which is always nice, rather than doing more investigations.
- Comment on Drug Dealer Simulator publisher launches an investigation against Schedule 1 creator. The game is supposedly “violating company’s IP” 6 days ago:
Oh, damn, I forgot about that game. Nice memory jog.
- Comment on shrimp colour drama 1 week ago:
That’s silly thinking. Everyone knows birds aren’t real, so they’re just late-stage planes created by engineers forced to follow certain constraints.
- Comment on shrimp colour drama 1 week ago:
The easiest way is to use the principles of conditioning. Pair a stimulus with a certain color light, then start flashing up different colored lights. If the organism is cued to the stimulus by multiple colors of lights, it means that they can’t really distinguish between them.
That’s how we tested when kids lose the ability to distinguish certain phonemes.

Oh man, I don’t know what to tell you then. Take your aspirin and come reminisce with me about the good old days.
- Comment on fruit flies are not ergodic 1 week ago:
That… unsettling. I remember the fruit fly experiments I did in college, and I am now barfing imagining those vials being put opened in an orifice.
- Comment on fruit flies are not ergodic 1 week ago:
Most teenagers I know, and myself when I was one, are much messier than at any other stage in their life. The issue for most is that they are old enough to start sneaking food into their rooms that a kid wouldn’t, or that the kid can’t hide as effectively. I’ve had to come spray for pests in more teenagers rooms than any other part of the age spectrum.
- Comment on Know the difference 1 week ago:
I’d be happy to make you feel less old. Look at it this way: There are people who remember the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Lol, I’m hoping I’m hitting the tipping point for you here ;)

Frying chicken usually makes louds pops and sizzles from the water rapidly boiling away in the oil.
…so loud pissing makes loud watery noises and, there you have it.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 1 week ago:
See, but that’s the rub! Who the fuck wants to spend $50 and go to that many bars? I could get a new AAA game for that much that I’ll play for hundreds of hours.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 1 week ago:
Because there is a very real sentiment called “Don’t shit where you eat.”
