• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pls respond⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Flossing would even be worse.

  My lower back is the opposite where standing straight for a while actually causes pain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨😢 😭 😿 😢⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? I imagine they actually looked less frightening/aggressive than the skin-over-bones depictions we have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i unapologetically love male pits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wash with soap when using a bidet.

  So will the intimating of the user.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨POV: You walked into a corporate meeting of people who make 10x your salary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so unironically and painfully accurate. Also, love the last line “how do we solve for less month?” lmao

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it keeps getting momentum⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  More like, the AGI that will solve all the world’s problems about to arrive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me in my home office at exactly 5:01pm everyday⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  you get a bit of exercise on the commute home

  Really depends on where you live. If by commute, you mean walking and taking nice, comfortable public transportation, then sure you can probably count that as exercise. If your commute is sitting in a car in traffic for an hour each way, that’s terrible; and you’re better off stepping outside your home office after work to take a walk in your neighborhood. Not having to tire yourself out from commuting also means you have more energy to exercise after work, so it’s a matter of willpower to not immediately dive into bed.

  IOS and Android (or at least on the Pixels AFAIK) now have this feature where you can have it answer for you to screen the caller first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little Surprise 🎥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the gonna lie, if the ominous music goes off BEFORE I make a mistake or do something dumb in my everyday life, it would actually be helpful lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uhhhh sure?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I set mine to avoid avoid tolls permanently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little Surprise 🎥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t watch the show. What kind of sounds/music are we dealing with here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Western Digital is already sold out of hard drives for all of 2026 — chief says some long-term agreements for 2027 and 2028 already in place⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wild how memory and storage have only ever been going down in price ever since they were invented, and now they’re gonna up exponentially.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NBA All-Star Game 2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the 10-minute match format. It made each minute more meaningful, so players played hard the entire time. They can change team compositions, but they should keep the game format. Maybe even make it 12 minutes per match. Also, give some time to rest for the last winner before the final, as they will be more gassed.

  Props to Wemby and Ant for leading by example and actually playing. All it takes is a couple of players and it’s a domino effect. Even the old heads were playing hard. Oh and Kawhi is a freaking machine. lol

  Disappointed but not unexpected with Jokic and Luka. With no Giannis and Shai, Wemby was basically carrying his entire team. Props to KAT on offense but his defense contributed to their loss, especially on the winning shot from Barnes. If Jokic and Luka were injured or on a minutes restriction, they should’ve been DNP’d and gave their roster spots to replacements who would actually try.

  Because of the Winter Olympics coverage taking up primetime, all the All Star events started early this weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dryers and fabric conditioners mainly. Clothes were handwashed and dried in the sun when I was growing up, so they had to be ironed to remove wrinkles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NBA Weekly Game Thread: Feb 09 - Feb 15⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Post-trade deadline I need to figure out which player went where so I can decide what game to watch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My feelings on the Super Bowl⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I only know because tv shows that normally air episodes on Sundays shift their schedules to earlier in the week. Also, NBA games which I actually follow are moved the day before and the ones are left start earlier in the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨me trying to keep my sanity in a 100+ year old rental house⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What about lead pipes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On its own it doesn’t really have a distinct taste or smell to me. I rarely cook eggs without adding seasoning or flavor. At the minimum I cook it in butter, so that already adds great taste and smell to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anybody Think That The Coconut Crab Is The Cutest Fucking Crab Ever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, but the coconut in their diet helps make them tastier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We had two of those! One red and one black.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anybody Think That The Coconut Crab Is The Cutest Fucking Crab Ever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are delicious though, because of their coconut diet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any reputable cybersecurity experts that I could just email them to ask for free advice?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a couple of cybersecurity communities in the fediverse. You can try posting your questions there. Like !cybersecurity@infosec.pub

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink updates Privacy Policy to allow AI model training with personal data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I think it’s pretty much the same as what any other ISP is able to collect. They’re just explicitly writing it down that they will use it for training data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bears or no bears?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What would the equivalent be for “penguins” and “no penguins”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Off-Topic Friday⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Squid probably have more potential to become super intelligent compared to a lizard/bird brain, so I’d go for the squid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learn to use the mute button⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember a post about someone not realizing he was already muted, so he unmuted, farted, and muted himself again. So to everyone else on the call, it looked like he deliberately unmuted just to fart for everyone.
