  don’t worry, we’re doing our best to literally make it true via cars and architecture.

  you can have any colour you like, so long as it’s grayscale or maybe red.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s both true and completely hilariously incorrect: There is no one “intelligence”, there are effectively infinitely many different kinds of intelligence, but broadly you can break it up into stuff like “emotional intelligence”, “spatial reasoning”, “problem solving”, etc etc.

  also it’s not fair to say that cats are less intelligent when no one bothers to train them, the few cats that actually get trained as much as dogs seem to be comparably good at doing quite complex things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and we then train the domesticated horses from a young age that letting us ride on them is something they WANT to do, because they get snacks and scritches and they get to go outside more.

  while “sabbath mode” does indeed seem to be real, i cannot imagine this is something that sees any serious amount of usage, and i’d imagine most rabbis would tell you it’s kind of silly because the point of sabbath is to not do work, and these appliances specifically exist so we don’t have to do work.

  If you start considering “putting food in the microwave and turning a dial to start it” as violating sabbath, you quite obviously then also can’t go around turning door handles or using keys, or taking on/off clothes, or filling a glass of water, etc etc etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  this is why i stick to cheapo devices unless there’s a specific feature in expensive ones that i want: they generally achieve the low cost by making a minimum viable product, which thus lacks all the complex nonsense and is often pretty repairable as a bonus.

  Power dial, time dial. All a microwave or an air fryer needs.

  what do you mean you don’t want an LLM built into the kernel that controls the scheduler?

  oh, boy… more cake?..

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It can't save you from spiritual necrosis⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  what it actually does is channel all your suffering onto the liver, like the world’s worst voodoo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It can't save you from spiritual necrosis⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  mom found the piss bin

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  well maybe that’s why they didn’t come to Hawking’s party, they’d have to strip him and it’s not like he has use for a motorcycle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HAWK SHARK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  oh trust me, my head looked like i had dipped it in a bucket of grease for like a month when i stopped using shampoo.
  Your body is used to the oil constantly being scoured away, so compensates by spewing it out. Once you stop removing the oil the scalp should eventually recalibrate and you enter the blissful state of your hair just always being nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA! USA!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah that’s way better than if he had actually put it in a choke-hold, because i’m pretty sure that’s really difficult to do right without hurting people (and, you know, no one trains for doing it on deer…) and even when you do it right i think it’s not very good for the person you do it to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spagett⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s okay, there’s medication for that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ah, the democrats

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  it would frankly be dumb not to throw the party, because at worst you just have a bit of a weird boring party, and at best you meet some fucking time travellers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drug dealers hate this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  myouth, that’s right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A new quest appears...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  the funny thing is that Wiz is also a philips brand, so it’s basically philips hue but less shit.

  For the record i do use the official software because i’m poor enough that setting up homeassistant is out of reach, and it’s remarkably okay. It actually works without internet, so long as you sign in with a third party account (which is moronic and i don’t like it at all, but whatever).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A new quest appears...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s seriously baffling to me that we don’t have something between a clapper an full voice control, surely it should be utterly trivial to recognize different patterns of a loud sound?

  I want to enable party mode for my lights by clapping out “shave and a haircut”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hair_irl⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  get one of those brushing gloves, 5 minutes of vigorous pets and you’ve halved the volume of the cat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hair_irl⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  dietary fibre

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HAWK SHARK⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i really hate how people don’t realize it’s the bacteria that grow in sweat which make the bad smell

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poor dumb bastards⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s not fair, the meta engineers have done some amazing work on the 2UCK3R83RG model these past few years! It now looks almost like it’s capable of feeling shame for what it has done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Schlip schlop⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  big agree: i can only really speak for Interstellar since that’s kinda the only movie of his i’ve properly seen, but the description that comes to mind for that is 'the distillation of movies as “art” '.
  It’s not there for the logical part of your brain, it’s there for the feeling part.
  Like a really moody landscape painting, there’s no point in logically examining the brush strokes of a random tree. What you’re invited to think about is the atmosphere of it, how it makes you feel.

  Spoiler for Interstellar

  Take that bookshelf scene inside the black hole in Interstellar, it very very obviously makes no sense whatsoever but the visuals and concept makes you think and feel.

  And what i appreciate is that i don’t get the vibe of it wallowing in its ‘artsyness’, which can often ruin ‘artsy’ stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Schlip schlop⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i kind of hate avatar because Cameron somehow continues to miss the glaringly obvious potential of just setting loose a bunch of nerds to churn out intricately detailed ecosystems and making Pandora nature documentaries.

  Just imagine how popular David Attenborough riding an alien pterodactyl would be, it deserves to exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i feel like this was either made by a fahrenheit user, or a nothern canadian. 0°C isn’t “fairly cold”, it’s freezing! 10°C is “fairly cold”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and doesn’t exist, which is fun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i’ve never understood how people imagine an easier scale to calibrate than celsius, what is easier than freezing and boiling water??

  Human body temperature isn’t an easy calibration point, are you gonna shove it up your ass to calibrate it, or what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a selection!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i used to drink some cough medicine or something as a kid, and that is precisely what i imagine potions would taste like. Just bordering on actively being gross, but not actually disgusting, just utterly overwhelming so you down it in one big gulp and then shake your head like a wet dog. And ontop of that they shove in licorice or whatever so your taste buds are just left horribly confused.
