Most users outside of Lemmy dgaf about corpos if it saves them having to type in an email address on their phone and get it right and then go to their email and then hit refresh a few times before going back and hitting send again and then checking their spam folder

Lucky that nobody said that, then.
- Comment on Map of all AI data center in Europe 1 week ago:
There is a real difference in the type of hardware that gets used in an AI data centre; it’s not a trivial or pedantic distinction.

The phrasing of “Looking for treasure” makes it sound like it’s just lying there, possibly buried a kindly philanthropist.

I’m sure it was a Doctor Who episode

I always thought so because a very reliable man in the pub told me it, but it turns out not to be the case.

Not gold but some kind of magic, because one pump of it foams up a crazy amount, and it was a 1L bottle. I think it was intended for salons because I’ve never seen it at a regular supermarket.

I arrogantly treated myself to a $90 bottle of shampoo, and it ended up lasting 12 whole months.
- Comment on New York real estate titan likens the phrase ‘tax the rich’ to racial slurs 1 month ago:
Just to highlight that as a real estate magnate, his entire empire is built on rent-seeking, i.e. accumulating wealth by the hoarding of a limited resource, without having created anything of value.
This billionaire did not create a billion dollars of value for society, even indirectly; he only took it from others.

Yeah, I think this is a lot more plausible than the wall heating theory that someone further up got way more upvotes for.

Looking at how the clock in Windows defaults based on region, it seems to be mostly the Whiter of the former British colonies plus a few South American countries that use 12h (for computing, at least). The rest of the world are all 24h.

Does she refer to it as “hora militar” though?

lol, by that argument you’re a bedwetter who suckles on your mother’s breast and doesn’t know how to read or write

dude spend two min googling ‘Chinese atrocities from 1900’
Ok, I did that exact thing verbatim, and the entire first page of results are things that happened before anyone here was born.
I’m not about to claim they’re saintly in any way, for sure they have lots of well-documented internal issues with civil liberties, free speech, and oppression of minority groups, but the fact that you’re going so far into the past to make your case just makes it a case in support of the opposite view.

not to get all tankie on you, but China has thus far managed to restrain themselves from bombing other countries’ civilian populations.

Posts like this are proof positive of Dead Internet Theory, because surely no human could be this oblivious to an obvious joke

Aside from all the other issues surrounding it, every demo I’ve seen so far is creepy uncanny valley stuff that I found unsettling and wouldn’t want to be playing.

He cuts filming just as people are moving out of the way for the ambulance.
You do realize you’ve proved his point? In Europe there’d be no “just as they are moving”, the cars would have already moved by the time the ambulance reached them.

Textbook false dichotomy, and not how I read it at all. Setup->Punchline is the most basic joke format in existence.

As long as the clerk hasn’t seen Guys and Dolls it should be fine.
One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you’re going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

A significant part of Jesus’ teachings is “don’t claim to speak on behalf of God”. Whoever made this meme is a blasphemer.

I also thought this was a joke until I read the comments. Pistachios have always been pistachio coloured in the rest of the world.
There’s something very American about drowning a perfectly healthy natural product in brightly coloured dye.

The sightings stopped happening round about exactly the same time as everyone started carrying a video camera in their pocket.

Is it me or are people just not that bothered about aliens, compared to in the 90s?
