A lot of people are afraid to ask things and I always tell them that they may be surprised to find that others respond well to someone showing interest in the things they know.

Have humans also been rinsing it clean afterward for thousands of years? If anyone is just spritzing this into their hair that’s…… gag.

It’s hard to get an online community going. I’ve worked with many of them through my job and you’d be amazed how many of them got their start when “another similar forum went offline for several days and everyone migrated here.”
Certainly it’s not a case of “build it and people will magically show up.”

I’ll be honest with you. I I refer everything about Lenny’s technology and ownership/maintenance structure. However the only topic I know I can get consistent substantial input on here is communist revolution.
For literally everything else, Reddit has captured people who know things. They are enshittifying it to be sure but until I can post a picture of a coffee table on Lemmy and have someone tell me if it’s finished with lacquer or shellac, this will be the answer.
We don’t have to like it, and we should hope to change it. But please don’t pretend you can’t understand it. Critical mass of community investment builds up in one place, and it doesn’t quickly migrate away, even under some enshittification pressure. Perhaps in time.

It’s up there, honestly. Very good way to store fats, proteins, and calories for potentially years? Would we even be here without cheese?
- Comment on what is final price 1 week ago:
I’ve never looked it up before but in my head it has walkways meant “which is also a” or “which has turned into a.” I guess I was off a little but it is a very rarely seen expression. Probably because of the cum-cum-jizz association.
It’s the Latin preposition cum (“with”), used in hyphenated compounds to describe something that’s two things at once. Examples:
- Kitchen-cum-dining room: a room that serves as both
- Bed-cum-sofa: a sofa that converts to a bed
- Secretary-cum-bodyguard: one person filling both roles

It’s kinda true. We clutch our pearls about what enters our bodies while we’re alive but then the second we are dead our bodies qualify as toxic waste.

Don’t worry, I feel your pain. Just wait until the day a beautiful women says you’re like an uncle to her.

The fuck? I really liked this actor before but now I just feel gross.

I wonder if it is also differing beauty standards. Older men used to be considered more sexy. Nowadays a guy over 40 is basically a corpse but if you watch old movies you’ll see guys who look 59 or even 60 in hero roles, and they get the girl, too.
So what I’m saying is, Sean Connery might never be chosen as a leading actor today because he looks too old.
- Comment on Welcome to my first podcast episode! 2 weeks ago:
I understand what you mean about lionizing anti-heroes. I just think that analysis is more sophisticated than the thing it’s analyzing. These displays are veiled threats of violence. Nothing more. Pretty funny too, seeing a tough guy try to scare you by flashing the symbol of his favorite comic book character.
- Comment on Welcome to my first podcast episode! 2 weeks ago:
It just goes to show what depths of psychological damage and depravity are caused by having the whole world revolve around you. I feel sorry for the MAGAts in a way because there really is no coming back from that. The problem they represent will not be solved, it will be only be outlived once all these spoiled pieces of shit die off. And it goes without saying that the world is never going to revert to revolving around them.

There’s a MAGAt brand for a lot of things. It’s one of the ways you know the whole damn thing is a grift.
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 2 weeks ago:
Do your parents have cats? Ours have turned the stove on during the night by walking across it. Now we have to “lock” the controls every night, and then “hold for 3 seconds” before we can unlock. The more sensitive the controls, the worse this all gets.
Knobs, dude. If you will it it is no dream.
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 2 weeks ago:
Hoooolllllynshit you nailed the head right on the hammer!
I cannot stand the controls on my induction cooktop. Still fundamentally the right choice of tech but it is a PITA to actually use.

We get it. You have infinity as your denominator and that takes you literally everywhere. However I must point out that if everything must happen “everything” includes an infinite unending static state to the universe. This is not a contradiction as we know some infinites are larger than others. Right after I am a green goose with a candy whistle for a dick, a permanent heat death of the universe will be the next thing to occur.
- Comment on Cool Bug Fact #47 2 weeks ago:
Assumes the universe can’t reach a static state that it remains in forever. Final shape, if you will.
- Comment on Cool Bug Fact #47 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but so does everybody so this doesn’t help delineate “you.”

I missed SO much and I’m bummed about it. Aren’t you? I wish I could see the San Francisco Bay before a single European settler set foot on it. I would have loved to have been at Woodstock. And I want to see everything else that happens in the next 1000 years and beyond. We get a snapshot. It’s amazing but not nearly enough.

We already do dangerous things therefore all dangerous things are A-OK come on bro we’ll figure it out.
Oh my god just stop talking.
- Comment on Doing our part 2 weeks ago:
Yes you can scare up some possible safety applications for this but you have to take it on the whole and balance the safety risks and benefits. They haven’t even answered how rhey are going to make the underbelly fan street legal when we know it shoots a lot of gravel out backwards at high speed. And understanding from MKBHD is that the model with all directional thrusters is only a high end demo which will never actually be sold. The one that might actually get sold only has thrusters in the back. Does that scream “safety” to you or “excessive speed?”
- Comment on Doing our part 2 weeks ago:
Yeah just compressed nitrogen, but still very wasteful and excessive and stupid. That’s enough. No one said it was putting out toxins.
