  Don’t need to guess. It took me many years to realize elevator shafts could hold more than one elevator car.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmyshitpost is my trusted source⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  CNN is outshittifying the shitpost community? Damn, we gotta step up our game.

  I wish you submitted this as a shitpost, but I doubt that was your intention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JOB⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is correct when the riddle is posed verbally, but it only works because T and Tea are homophones.

  So an answer to this written form is TiTleisT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is using an ssd as a cache to speed up a harddrive still a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if it would give you the speed boost you’re looking for. That being said, if you’re using something like Steam, you can move files between drives on command. So if there’s a particular game you’re playing for a while, you could move that to your SSD and then move it back to your HDD when you move on to something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End of an era?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are people still buying shit from Sony? It would be less work to just flush your cash directly down the shitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. Every time we’ve tried, the universe resets itself and then spawns twelve more JS frameworks. A few universes ago, npm didn’t even exist. Now look at us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Waking up to 72 virgins be like:⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They have a hard time finding venues because nobody wants to host them because of the unbelievable number of used condoms their cleaning staff finds after.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people don't compliment other people on great word usage? If someone use the word lets say ecclesiastical or something like that they do not get complimented it shows they respect English.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been complimented on my word choices before, and I’ve complimented others as well. But it doesn’t come up often. Even when an interesting word is used, it’s not always the right time or place to explicitly compliment the speaker on it.

  If they can buy drinks in an uptown bar, they can scrounge up $100 between them. It’s called wealth redistribution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If internet means wires, then how come my mobile phone gets connected to the internet ? I'm roaming everywhere with it inside my pocket.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Engineers and tech people are more whimsical than most people realize. For more like this, check RFCs 2324, 2795, or check the whole list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If internet means wires, then how come my mobile phone gets connected to the internet ? I'm roaming everywhere with it inside my pocket.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A computer network is a group of computers that are connected somehow–through wires, wireless signals, or birds.

  The internet is a massive network of millions of computers. And it uses a lot of different things to connect together, including wires, wireless signals, and optical cables.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Title⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a similar idea for american football.

  1. Recruit an offensive line entirely of ex-sumo wrestlers
  2. One holds the ball
  3. The rest form a protective ring around them
  4. They casually walk down the field
  5. Anyone who attempts to tackle them is thrown unceremoniously aside like trash
  6. Touchdown!

  “Yeah, in future design reviews we ended up adding a flare at the top. For… reasons.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If your significant other cheated on you, would you confront or attack the person they cheated with?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if I already had some sort of relationship with the person. But the issue is primarily with the partner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Back in my day it was ok to receive a paddlin (simpson ref there) at school as a kid. But on the flip side it was against the law to beat a paddle a prisoner by a guard, why the rule difference?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because schools hadn’t implemented better rules yet. A while ago, physical discipline for kids was normalized; we know now that it’s not a great method of discipline, so we have better rules in schools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨which way?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The second one, but opposite

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is this???⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh shit, your house blew over onto its side. You should probably get that fixed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Octopussy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, yes, Spider Cat. Carry on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Child’s school updated the uniform policy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s definitely a terrible idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Child’s school updated the uniform policy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Respond with how pleased you are about the new policies, and how they represent discipline and unity. Tell them that if it’s good for soldiers in the military, it must be good for our kids. Include an old picture of Nazi soldiers in uniform, and tell the head how glad you are that she shares your values.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is already leading to fewer jobs for young people, says Sunak⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Space for juniors has been disappearing for the last decade (see years of memes about entry-level positions requiring 2 to 3 years of experience). AI just gives corporations reason to continue the trend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is already leading to fewer jobs for young people, says Sunak⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Corporate greed is leading to fewer jobs for young people. AI is their scapegoat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did Saturday Night Live get so cringe?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, amd what’s with these kids on my lawn with their loud music and unfamiliar slang? And why does my back hurt? Amd where did this sudden craving for Werther’s Originals come from?

  You’re doing it wrong. Replace the cake with beans and keep the filling, and we’ll talk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some aspects of the discipline that are hard to grasp–in my experience, it was differential equations and advanced control systems. But those are a pretty small part of the curriculum. The number of people who graduated without demonstrating even basic understanding of rudimentary concepts is alarming, but it explains a large amount of the shitty engineering that exists in the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the place, I guess. In the US and Canada, it’s pretty common. I’ve attended four different institutions and taught at one, and they’ve all been pretty money-focused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s worth noting that college degrees are often not hard to get, assuming you have ample finances. Colleges are businesses, and they care more about cashflow than education.

  I have a bachelor of science in electrical engineering. Of my graduating class, probably only about a quarter of us actually understood anything. And now working in the industry, it seems like that’s a pretty reasonable average for other institutions in my field (there are exceptions, a few colleges have higher standards).
