Apparently a spoon left on your laptop trackpad can trick Teams into thinking you’re still there and never marking you as “away”.

I was winding down to go to sleep, so I put that off for a few minutes. I don’t want to oversell the effort involved though. It was less than 10 minutes of refining search queries and scouring a handful of message threads for related info.
Or maybe I spend too much time online. :)

Wish I could take credit, but it’s good old search engine work. I searched for bathroom basins and came across several discussions of this same picture. Among all the jokes and random ideas was that link above that finally explained it.

A planter for fake plants. Apparently it was a fad in the 50s and 60s.

There were several lines in both episodes that I felt needed another take. Besides a few awkward pronunciations, I lost track of how many lines had strange pacing or weirdly-placed pauses in the middle of sentences.

Yeah, it would have helped if Visual Capitalist had included that bit of info. Their source is this page on the Video Game Sales Wiki, which does say “The following titles are the best-selling games released in the 2020s, as of 2025.”.

Yeah, that’s usually the term. Also, it doesn’t see much action, but: !cassettefuturism@lemmy.world
- Comment on Pokémon Lazarus: When a Fan Game Becomes a Conversation 4 months ago:
I still have my doubts that was the majority of the issue, at least the first time they “won” that award in 2012. That poll happened 1 month after Mass Effect 3’s release, when emotions were still raw over people’s disappointment with the game’s ending. That’s not to defend those who were voting for EA over, say, Nestle or any number of other awful companies. But most of what I saw was immature lashing out to punish anyone perceived as responsible for the writing. I remember people cheering they’d managed to harass EA’s tech support Twitter account into closing, like they’d made some great moral victory. It was all pretty gross.

You just unlocked a core memory. I forgot all about those graphs and the little red plastic strips you used to view them.

Henchman 24: Come on! They have one female servicing a large group of males. That implies a species that lays eggs.
Henchman 21: Oh my God, you’re crazy! They’re so obviously mammals!
Henchman 24: Please! She’d be in estrus 24/7 if she didn’t lay eggs.
Henchman 21: Smurfs don’t lay eggs! I won’t tell you this again! Papa Smurf has a fucking beard! They’re mammals!

You can’t start a sentence with that and not expect me to get distracted thinking of a certain theme song.

And now that I’ve had some more time to think: what was up with the modern music this season? It was distracting and took me out of the story every time.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x10 "New Life and New Civilizations" 6 months ago:
Yeah, the whole discussion about Batel’s combined genetic memories just happened way too quickly. I might have been on board with the explanation, but it really took me out of the episode to see how they rushed through figuring out everything. No time for untangling a mystery, let’s dash off to the next bit.

I think you meant “bottom to top”. But yes, that does change the tone a bit.

If you click the Legends button there’s info from the pre-Disney era. Apparently the term dates back to 1983.

- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 7 months ago:
It’s so weird to me that no one uses the term “slowdown” any more. Lag and latency meant networking delays back in the days you’re talking about. Not a complaint, just an observation that I’ve been wondering about for years.
But yeah, as others said, slowdown/lag was pretty common. I immediately think of the ninjas jumping out of the water in TMNT3, the beginning of Top Man’s stage in Mega Man 3, and the last boss of The Guardian Legend, but there were many more. Early 3d is shocking too, with more sub-30-fps games than you remember. Some called themselves at 20, even.

Sadly it was much more tame: search engines. They’ve been crawling Lemmy for a couple years now. I remembered just enough to get hits on that post from a couple instances. Luckily one didn’t delete it when OP scrapped the original. I’m a bit curious myself why that is, but in any case it gives us a backup of the post.
