- Comment on Itch.io was taken down by funko pop 1 week ago:
Does the DMCA protect claimants against liability if they make incorrect or spurious claims?
- Comment on Our brains developed pattern recognition for this 5 weeks ago:
Glad my brain is cracked the same way as at least a couple other people. I saw the Venus of Willendorf as well.

Gender chain-melted state? Gender superglass? Gender string-net liquid?
- Comment on bitey 1 month ago:
How is this calculated? Presumably you could directly measure all but the T-Rex and pliosaur, but how are those bits forces calculated?
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 1 month ago:
The meme references training, not physical ability. Strange should arguably be overlaid on Bones.
- Comment on let's settle this 2 months ago:
<pushes glasses up> it was actually Flavor-Aid.
- Comment on Badgers 2 months ago:
I remember learning that after my dad told me stories about badgers near the Minnesota farm where he grew up killing dogs significantly larger than dachshunds and thinking “how the fuck does that work??”
- Comment on Do you have what it takes to become a geologist? 2 months ago:
“That’s how I got the nickname ‘the Doc Ellis of geology’”
- Comment on I don't know what part of this headline depresses me the most: "52-year-old worked 90-hour weeks in an oil refinery to save money for his business—now he's worth $9.5 billion" 2 months ago:
Ironically, Citizen Kane has a relevant line: “It’s no trick to make a lot of money, if all you want is to make a lot of money.”
This dude talks about passing his values on to his kids who are in the business, I shudder to think what his actual values are.

In other news, broccoli rabe is now going by Broccoli Robert.
- Comment on All the Disney+ films and TV shows that have been deleted from the service 2 months ago:
Not for Disney channel branded stuff. They keep that shit on lockdown.

Popover to accept cookies, if you go to manage preferences there is no option to save your preferences.
- Comment on Star Wars actor Giancarlo Esposito teases a "trilogy, or more" of Mandalorian movies 2 months ago:
I love Giancarlo Eaposito’s acting but it’s my recollection that he often says stuff like this in interviews as a “it would be cool” kind of thing which then gets spun as “inside information.”
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 2 months ago:
I’m pretty sure the options would be to arrest him or be fired for insubordination.
- Comment on Phonebooks 2 months ago:
Charles Bukowski wrote maybe the most beautiful paean to the fact of the telephone book:
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 2 months ago:
More to the point, if there is a warrant issued for his arrest, his secret service detail would need to arrest him.
- Comment on Anon needs help responding to his coworker 2 months ago:
“Hi, Lesbian, I’m anon.”
- Comment on Instruments 2 months ago:
Wait, that’s neither John Coltrane or John Zorn.
- Comment on Large flavored quark 2 months ago:
Except that in the OP the OOP specifically refers to “containers of flavored quark” which slices away any ambiguity. It’s clearly the dairy product being asked about.
- Comment on $-3 doesn't go as far as it used to... 3 months ago:
Here’s the real question: is that the actual MC 900 ft Jesus or just someone who likes the name?
- Comment on State of Lemmy comments right now 3 months ago:
Don’t even joke about that. Cats are obligate carnivores, they can’t survive on beans. If you must, let them eat the children.
- Comment on In Leak, Facebook Partner Brags About Listening to Your Phone’s Microphone to Serve Ads for Stuff You Mention 3 months ago:
I know little to nothing about android, but it seems like even if we assume CMG code is in (say) all of Facebook’s iOS apps, each one needs permission to use the camera and microphone so if you deny that permission what CMG claims would be impossible. And while Apple certainly has a spotty record in enforcing App Store rules, I feel like they’ve got a lot riding on being absolutely certain that FB and Google and Amazon apps aren’t violating those rules because those are going to be on every researcher’s list of apps to test for privacy compliance.
- Comment on Flying Ants 3 months ago:
Is the facepalm because now the people want to know more about the ants?
- Comment on Dynamic pricing 3 months ago:
B is for people who live where there’s no alternative, like small towns where Walmart undercut every other business and is now the only game in town. If you live in a place like that, steal from Walmart. If you live in a place where you have one store doing dynamic pricing and another that isn’t, go to the place that isn’t doing it.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing 3 months ago:
Just refuse to go anywhere that does dynamic pricing (if possible.) Steal from places that do it (if possible.)
- Comment on Lichens are things 3 months ago:
To be fair, based on mycology memes I’ve seen nobody gets fungi or their kin. (Nobody who knows enough to listen to, at least.)
- Comment on Lichens are things 3 months ago:
Technically? Maybe.
- Comment on 10 Thriller Movies That Are Almost Perfect 4 months ago:
While I agree with the list, Uncut Gems is not the definitive proof that Adam Sandler can handle dramatic roles, that was provided 17 years prior to UG in Punch Drunk Love.
- Comment on Simples. 4 months ago:
It she just reblogged Teaboot. Did Teaboot do anything awful that can be used to invalidate the point being made here?
- Comment on Youtube's web UX team is a joke. 4 months ago:
YouTube UI/UX in general is total trash. The Apple TVOS version is probably the worst but I haven’t seen a good one yet.
