  Once we were studying in biology class, when I was maybe 14 or 15, the teacher leaves the room and comes back with this sort of telly on the wheelie stand thing; he was trying to surprise us with an educational distraction from textbooks and, it was good on paper.

  He must have forgotten to rewind the VHS or something, of a nature documentary, and the entire class got an immediate scene of two wildebeast trying to repopulate the Savannah by themselves.

  I mean it did work, since it was a great distraction whilst he frantically Goku punched the Stop button as fast as he could, before pressing rewind.

  So that when they find his hard drives, he can say the person is actually 3,032 years old.

  His photos were altered to not show the facial scarring he had, from contracting Smallpox as a child, as an effort at the time to make him look better in print.

  This is why you dry the ice cream first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube's War on Adblock Got Worse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I noticed that YouTube began setting my videos to the lowest resolution, when set to Auto, since a day or two ago.
  I installed an extension to force the resolution I want, and it took maybe 10 seconds to grab.

  Like hell am I allowing ads.

  So what you’re saying is taking a walk is beneficial for stabilising the heart rate?

  I mean, the rich drug dealers you know are rich from dealing, aren’t the ones to have that lifestyle long term.

  The sensible and rich drug dealers are the ones you wouldn’t know about. Quite a few of them are landlords here in the UK (I can’t provide numbers, just a what I know thing so I won’t be offended if no one believes it - these are just my ramblings, officer).
  Basically just sensible ways to turn black market income into seemingly legitimate income, through either self-employed businesses or other means.

  They’ll have seemingly regular jobs, and will do their best to appear legitimate to not raise any red flags. You’d be very surprised at who the most successful drug dealers are, however chances are you’ll never know as well.

  Hitler’s mustache was initially longer, however there was a decision to trim it. There are various theories as to why it was trimmed and shaped into the toothbrush as well recognise it for today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you ask for a haircut?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Describe it however you want. If you have a decent barber, they should understand you fine and work with you.
  I’ve been shy, straight forward, and all manners of sides when asking for a haircut and the biggest issue has only been the occasional language barrier.

  Once you’re comfortable in a style it’ll be easier to use different wording, depending on how you want your style. For example: you most certainly can ask for clipper sizes, like “no. 2 on sides”, however if you don’t know what you want from the top you could just ask them “a bit short but matching the sides, if you know what I mean?”

  Some styles have different options, such as skin fades (usually medium or high here, indicating the point where the fade reaches on the side and back of the head). If you’re unsure definitely do not be afraid of asking, if any barber has an issue with working with you they aren’t the barbers you want as they’re likely to rush the haircut regardless of what you say (in my experience), or only know limited styles/lack broader experience in hairdressing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨State of Lemmy comments right now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The REAL question is how much beans can I feed to a cat, and why does my house smell really bad?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe this is better for everyone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m actually rather thankful for this entire drama, or rather my cats are.
  I was ‘this’ close to forgetting some ham for their once in a while treat. Thanks, /c/vegan!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do boomers hate squirrels so much?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve known this for a while, however I do not wish harm to grey squirrels. This is their war, I don’t even know the first thing about squirrel warfare, although I do hope the red squirrels find an alliance to support their freedoms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So sick!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My opinion on this is that they’re already getting money from ads, I have no desire to wilfully turn myself into an ad for 99.9% of YouTube channels. I felt the need to clarify because, truth be told, I along with many others are already walking advertisements sometimes.
  I wear band shirts, and I love advertising the shit out of them. But it feels different to advertise bands and musicians on clothing than it does most YouTube channels. The impact is something I think about: maybe I don’t feel as strongly about them because they have not been impactful in the same ways, in the sense that I still listen to music from when I was a kid occasionally (and I can’t say this about YouTubers in general).

  I’d probably rock classic British comedy stuff too. Anything timeless I suppose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games popularized certain mechanics?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pacman was the first to simulate a real life mechanic, of munching pills, listening to repetitive music, and running from multicoloured ghosts.
  … Or was that just me?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Solitaire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I went to Amsterdam over the weekend. The weather apps said it was gonna rain, did it fuck. I brought my puffer jacket and was almost dying from the heat until I got to the hotel room. Never had to wear it during the trip.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could President Biden fully legalize cannabis before he leaves office?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because Delta-9 THC, the compound we have always known as plain ol’ THC, begins as THC-A.
  There are two forms of what is called ‘hemp’: industrial hemp, which has been bred for things like fibre, and the “legal classification that is hemp”.

  The legal classification varies depending on region, however it requires the plant to have a very low amount of THC (usually something around 0.2%).

  The farm bill added various loopholes, which allowed for high THC-A and low THC samples to pass legally as hemp. Though it is still cannabis and always has been, the plant has just been tested long before the harvest and before the THC-A has had time to convert to THC.
  Once the weed packs arrive at the shop, I guarantee to you that enough THC-A has converted to THC that it no longer would be classed as hemp. I love the hilarity of it all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just gonna stick to slotted, thanks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Useful tip: with security torx sockets, with the little nub in the centre, if you get a small flathead screwdriver to jam in there and wiggle a bit, that centre bit will snap off without much difficulty.
  You should be able to use a regular Torx screwdriver bit after that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When was the last time you made Jello?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite all that effort, he’s wrong as well. I’m born and raised in London, UK and we most certainly have differentiations. The description of preserves having elements of the real fruit is the same in the UK: I can go to the local supermarket right now and the shelf will have different sections for jams, preserves, and marmalades (which the person they were replying to were also correct in their description).
  The thing I haven’t seen is American Jelly, as Jelly here is the same as Jell-O in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I think it’s important to understand Co2 emissions aren’t the only factors in the pollution of air quality. Like you mentioned, heavy metals are a big factor in climate (for example how private jets still use leaded fuel).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree and have felt this way for a long time, and is why I have not taken part in firework displays nor been interested in them for years.

  It just seems like an excuse to pollute the air on a massive scale, beyond other issues. I would much rather see drone shows today than fireworks.
