I’m not saying the video is trash because of the clickbait title. It’s trash because he stretches “They do it for money” into 22 minutes of “Captain Obvious” statements.

- Comment on when doing laundry... while switching it over from washer to dryer...you find a sock on the floor that didn't get washed. If you put it in the dryer with the wet laundry will it come out clean? 1 week ago:
Not at all, soap is require to release the binds between fabric and filth and the wet clothes have been rinsed and are soap-free.

- Comment on Has Piefed omitted some instances? 4 weeks ago:
Thank you very much for the clarification, I was not aware.
- Comment on Has Piefed omitted some instances? 4 weeks ago:
Your instance has a handy page that shows which instances are federated and which are not. I don’t believe the Piefed software causes the defederations, that’s handled by the instance admins.
Oddly, dbzr doesn’t result in anything so I’m not sure what that’s about.

- Comment on Anyone out there? 4 weeks ago:
The majority of the platform does foster more honest dialog but to be clear, there are 0-value communities on the platform as well. You can block the communities, people and instances you don’t care for and the filter system works great so a large part of what you see is completely dictated by you. The fediverse is still small enough that you can create a filter list and browse all/new without seeing anything you don’t want to see.

Is lemmy actually a better environment?
Well, it’s populated by humans, so you’re going to find roughly the same behaviors. The main difference is the alignment of the echo chambers.
The admins and moderators of the platforms do try to nip unlabeled bots and bad actors in the bud and the majority of the userbase helps with that by reporting posts or comments that break the rules and your presence here is not being exploited for any reason, much less for profit but only you will be able to decide whether it’s a place you want to hang out.

- Comment on Hotel and Apartment Pipe (Poop) Question 1 month ago:
The reason it wouldn’t collide has something to do with an element of the network of pipes that I haven’t mentioned yet.
First, all pipes have a pitch or slope. That’s to ensure that the flow only goes in one direction. Secondly, pipe joints have a “sweep” to them, meaning the joint directs the the waste to go in a certain direction when intersecting another pipe.
The fitting in the image below is called a sanitary wye(Y). Imagine that your toilet or sink would be the source of the waste and would be connected to the 2” side. You can see which direction this would direct the waste and each connection to the trunk would be directing the waste in the same direction. For this reason, your flush would never collide with another, instead it would be like you both would be speeding along in the same direction and just kind of blend together if they happened to meet in the pipe at any time.
Pressurized plumbing does not have these sanitary features, they just have hard angles with no sweeps because the pressure is what pushes the water to your faucet. Drain lines lack this force so everything is handled by pitch and flow guidance in the form of these joints.
- Comment on Hotel and Apartment Pipe (Poop) Question 1 month ago:
All of the waste pipes in a complex/hotel will eventually make it to the same pipe but not right away.
As an example, each apartment complex block would have a structure of 3 inch pipe at each toilet that eventually ties together at a larger diameter pipe. Each pipe from each block would eventually feed into yet another larger diameter pipe until eventually, it feeds into the main sewer line.
Your poops won’t “collide”. since they are all headed the same direction when they meet in one pipe, they simply line up in a queue on their way to the main sewer.
These pipes and sewer line aren’t always full of water. They only have something flowing when someone is doing something so in an apartment complex, there’d always be some flow(toilet, sink, dishwasher, washing machine, tub/shower) but the pipe’s diameter is caluculated to always be large enough to handle the largest likely need and still have room to spare.
- Comment on Could I theoretically grind up one of those pink salt lamps and use it to season my food? 1 month ago:
Simply the fact that there’s no restriction on how they handle it. They can coat it in something that keeps it from dissolving in humid environments, they can store it among other products that could harm you they don’t have to follow any of the steps required to keep something pure, things like that. Although it’s sourced from the exact same location as himalayan salt for cooking, it’s path to you is vastly different(and less expensive to the manufacturer).

You definitely can but its not food-grade so perhaps take that into account.

Super cool story.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 1 month ago:
20% is more than reasonable for a barber’s tip. Unlike wait staff that don’t make a living wage, barbers usually make a more fair wage and the tip is an honest “thanks for taking care of me” and not a “Here’s some money so you don’t starve”.

- Comment on It's becoming widely accepted that it's not safe to put pictures of your children on social media... (cont. in post) 2 months ago:
Perceived freedoms, similar to the US gun situation. Many Americans feel that the second amendment gives them the right to own any and all weapons, regardless of capability without restriction and any law proposal that comes up that may infringe on that totally unfettered right is met with hostility and uproar.
People aren’t viewing it in terms of safety, they are viewing it in terms of freedom.
This issue is made more egregious by the method in which they are proposing to “protect the children” with many methods completely stripping everyone online of their privacy. Many people, myself included, will die long before they upload an ID to anyone online for the privilege of visiting a website.
- Comment on Is Buying a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS Pre-Installed Dangerous? 2 months ago:
I would opt to install myself but “dangerous” is a relative term. Its definitely more dangerous than installing yourself since you can’t verify their install source or process. You can factory reset when you get it but again can’t validate the Rom used as the reset image.
If risk is a concern of yours, I’d buy used and install yourself. Not only will you save money, you’ll know you installed from a legitimate source.
The install is so easy for graphene, Theres so little risk of messing up. It takes less than 10 minutes.
