The French.
- Comment on I despise laundry. How can I make my life contain less of it? 6 days ago:
if wearing the same thing 3 days in a row makes you stink, you should probably talk to a doctor.
- Comment on I despise laundry. How can I make my life contain less of it? 6 days ago:
why won’t it be accepted any more? Does your family care more about the state of your closet than you being happy?
Seriously, talk to them about it, tell them how you feel. - Comment on I’m watching something on tv and a dude strangled another dude with rattle snake. Is that possible? What’s the tensile strength of a snake? 6 days ago:
- Comment on Would taking a tbs of olive oil before each meal lower the GI of everything else you eat? 1 week ago:
yes because you’ll become nauseous and won’t want to eat
- Comment on Why does all AI graphic design have the exact same style? 2 weeks ago:
it’s pretty fucking funny how AI once again shows that computers are utterly dumb and simply do exactly what you specify. Nothing more, nothing less.
- Comment on Why does all AI graphic design have the exact same style? 2 weeks ago:
of-fucking-course it’s fascist-coded white marble statues of bearded men

mapquest doesn’t seem to have anything to do with OSM, sadly
- Comment on Solar panel costs have plummeted from $6 per watt in 2000 to just 12 cents today 3 weeks ago:
I was recently amazed to discover that you can now buy 10W portable solar chargers that are ACTUALLY portable, and cost like 9 euro
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Counter-question: Why do you ask this online rather than just testing and seeing if it makes a difference?
Also, does it even give bad results anyways? Because i have never once in my life encountered a dishwasher that didn’t get things squeaky clean almost without even needing detergent. I suspect many people worry about the cleanliness of their dishes for absolutely no reason. - Comment on World-first biological data center packs 16 mn living human neurons 4 weeks ago:
good to see work being done on the torment nexus
- Comment on If circumcision is so insanely common in the USA, why do people tease about it on the internet? 4 weeks ago:
i don’t shower every day and i’ve still never had dick cheese, i’m frankly not sure if it’s actually a medical condition that people just think is normal…
- Comment on [The Matrix (movie, 1999)] What does agent Brown's line mean? 4 weeks ago:
i fully support Agent Smith coming out of the closet
- Comment on Why weren't telephone lines and electrical lines not buried under ground? Which would have saved a bunch of money from upkeep and accidents? 4 weeks ago:
they have been here in sweden, only high-voltage lines remain aboveground (with much much more robust infrastructure) and the odd teensy weensy rural line that probably isn’t even active any more and remains simply because no one cares enough to dismantle it.
- Comment on Dating Apps Are Dying 4 weeks ago:
“Dating App is great! It helped me find my soulmate 15 times!”
- Comment on If dogs have such a great nose, why do they sniff other dogs asses? Wouldn't it smell like shit or not a good smell? 5 weeks ago:
i’m just glad they’re not rabbits, who literally need to eat their own shit to survive (it’s part of their digestive process)
- Comment on Australia to force social media platforms to allow users to opt out of algorithms 5 weeks ago:
you just get posts in precisely whateverthefuck order the server ends up pulling them from its database, which isn’t an algorithm because obviously that means the Lord himself is deciding the order of your feed.
- Comment on Australia to force social media platforms to allow users to opt out of algorithms 5 weeks ago:
huh? are you getting recommendations in your subscriptions feed???
- Comment on What are some things that deserve their own word? 5 weeks ago:
- Comment on Why does the Grim Reaper hold a scythe? Was he or she farming or something when they became the grim reaper? 5 weeks ago:
even better: Mowing with a scythe lets you easily deposit the grain neatly in a row (windrow), which means you can just have one person hauling ass on the scythe and another behind them bundling up the straws.
It’s honestly pretty insane how close to ideal scythe harvesting is. - Comment on Why does the Grim Reaper hold a scythe? Was he or she farming or something when they became the grim reaper? 5 weeks ago:
mmm ecofascism mmmm
- Comment on Why do women in golf wear those short/skirt things while the men wear pants? 5 weeks ago:
my take is that simply dropping “the” from “the patriarchy” does a lot to make it more useful and less uncomfortable to talk about.
It’s not some specific thing, people don’t have meetings on enforcing The Patriarchy, it’s just an effect.
I’m not sure if it’s strictly comparable but like, talking about “the democracy” would sound strange, but talking about “democracy” is completely normal. - Comment on Why do women in golf wear those short/skirt things while the men wear pants? 5 weeks ago:
i mean they are shorts so i’d imagine they’re pretty liable to get uncomfortable, as they’re presumably not designed with magnum dongs in mind.
But then again i assume they’re generally stretchy so maybe it’s fine… - Comment on Why do women in golf wear those short/skirt things while the men wear pants? 5 weeks ago:
imagine if it was all turned into botanical gardens
- Comment on Would moving/shifting in the 4th (spacial) dimension be fatal? 1 month ago:
this isn’t really a useful question, it’s wholly hypothetical so we can’t know.
- Comment on Why do seemingly well-adjusted adults find it acceptable to loudly play tiktoks on public transport? 1 month ago:
also, as part of that we’ve been conditioned to not dare talk to strangers or accept strangers talking to us.
In the past people would just say “my fellow those films you’re imbibing annoy me greatly, pray tell might you be so kind as to turn the volume down?” and they respond with “indubitably sir, posthaste. my greatest pardon for imposing upon you thusly”. - Comment on How do I turn fresh tomatoes into pasta sauce? 1 month ago:
i don’t get why you’d either peel or strain the sauce, i’ve never done that and never even thought about the skin, it’s less noticable than the seeds and those are kind of half the point of using raw tomatoes IMO
- Comment on How do I turn fresh tomatoes into pasta sauce? 1 month ago:
you can literally just chop them up and boil them with spices, it works absolutely fine.
You don’t need all this fancy stuff (blanching tomatoes is insane to me), just try a bunch of different things and see what you personally like best.
I like to fry up some diced onions and a couple cloves of garlic; then dump in the chopped tomatoes (i recommend one of these pull-cord chopping things, absolutely liquefies the tomatoes), a bit of vinegar (balsamic is always nice), and some spices (lots of vegeta) and let it simmer for as long as i can be arsed. - Comment on How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy? 1 month ago:
as a general rule of thumb i say give people 3 chances and after that there’s no point in continuing unless you REALLY think they’re in good faith and you’re REALLY certain you’re not possibly getting things wrong.
Maybe they’re not in a good headspace, maybe they’re a shithead, maybe i’m in a bad headspace; who knows.
The only case where either of us benefits from spending an hour getting irate is if they’re a shithead troll who gets off on making others upset. - Comment on Is it creepy when lemmings go digging through post votes to see who voted how on different posts and comments? 1 month ago:
depends on what the motivation/conclusion is, if someone suspects an account of being a bot or such and calls out “hey this account is mass-downvoting anything to do with botswana” then it’s perfectly reasonable.
But if they try to make some personal judgement over it then it feels a bit: Image
