  Bunch of the plants in Australia rely on bushfires to survive and reproduce.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 450 Diablo developers at Blizzard have unionized⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you just discovered why they’re unionising so hard.

  Microsoft: Don’t worry, Blizzard. We can quash a union attempt. There’s only like 100 of them, tops…

  Blizzard: There’s 650.

  Microsoft: _spits drink _. For this shit!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a word for the happiness in finding the exact right word?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Satisfaction.

  Just talk absolute shit, like I do.

  Genuinely forgot this game existed. I was over it before COVID lockdowns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every dam time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently my TV has normalisation, but it doesn’t seem to do much. There is a setting that boosts dialogue, but it’s jarring enough that being the fastest remote in the West still comes out in top.

  Maybe I can do something with the spare Pi…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pandering to conservative Americans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And so letting others know vs. the company is more proactive.

  You know he can’t wait to get home and try that shit out.

  So often,

  “Pssh. As I thought.”

  Sometimes,

  “Oh, wow.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤝🤝🤝⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  🤦

  Fuck’s sake.

  Let me get the black mirror so we can have more of this shit .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better check the closet, too⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There was an old Canadian show called Reaper or something. Funny scene where an employee spends their 15 min break watching her boss losing it as he paces around his car in the distance.

  “What’s his problem?”

  “I put a note on his windshield saying ‘Sorry I hit you car’ and I’ve just been watching.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why people say they have a "boy cat" or a "girl cat" but when the cat grows up, they don't call is a "man cat" or "woman cat"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno. I view my dogs as companions. Yeah, they need me to look after.them like they’re children, but I need them to take care of me in the wilderness, protect the house, cheer me up, entertain guests, tow me on the longboard.

  There’s no association with them and a human child for me. If anything dog ownership has shifted my mentality into the symbiotic relationship of a pack. I think being stuck thinking of them as children would make for some very miserable times and bad behaviour from both the owner and the dog.

  I’m just gonna keep imagining it’s a clan of Timberborn beavers that are born on the ziplines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially when the worst that could happen is nothing which is exactly what’s going to happen if OP says no. Literally can’t go backwards no matter what, but it’s possible they could go forward.

  Well…unless something psycho happens, I guess. Then OP will bmsuffer greatly, go very backward, traumatised for life etc. etc. etc…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can also filter out keywords like Trump, Elon, GOP, etc. Generally this excludes shit from their little tribal conflict but retains post that could be of interest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people like the Punisher comics?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s true…

  Dick Tracy then!

  Technically Tintin…? 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I didn’t lose it, it just got FUBARed by something big. Either landed on it or tried to take it away. All peppers gone too, right when they were starting to turn red :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume so. I have had critters gorging on my ghosts and reapers in the garden. Losing an entire plant overnight was the last straw so I have webbing up now, but they were clearly unaffected.

  I thought they were just getting the hostages back…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people like the Punisher comics?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A character doesn’t need superpowers to be interesting. People can enjoy the Punisher despite him being “just a guy who shoots people with a gun” in the same way people enjoy “John Wick”, Judge Dredd, “Taken”, Jason Bourne, “Die Hard”, or any movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

  How did you get through all of that without pointing out Batman?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI slop is ruining all of our favorite places to scroll⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There were those that tried, especially with memes, but they’ve been hanged, drawn, and quartered.

  Now it’s just the small band of pro-AI users that go blank whenever someone explains how generative AI works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And the hippie mums dig it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just Markov chains running on a heap of poorly governed sources. Expensive because Markov chains are brutish to process.

  But processors get faster and faster to calculate and conclude a chain rapidly. I could see why people think it’s intelligence since it is chains running through sources of human intelligence, but it’s not. It’s simple math from the late-1800s and we’ve been using it for predicting many things for a long time. Funnily enough, language was what Markov started with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I once got called a Nazi and a Communist at the same time.

  It was in response to a remark about social healthcare systems, which I can’t deny both Marx and the Nazis’ NSV were all for that. But one could note some slight differences in opinion on how to go about it, plus a few other little things here and there.

  Alright, you two. Time for bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My first thought is its not the microwave unless they’re multitasking TV dinners and League of Legends a few times each evening.

  I just got this hunch it’s something like clogged channels or something, but OP thinks a microwave just sitting there is the issue. But that seems just as unusual.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can any scientists confirm this important fact?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My dog gives me stuff all the time. At first I thought it meant he wanted to play with the object, but, nope. He’s just spent the last fifteen minutes fighting the other dog away from it, running around the house with it in his mouth. Then when he’s finally “won”, he gently places it down right in front of me, sits and stares at my eyes, “This is very important to us dogs, but I love you the most, so you can have it.”

  picks up slobbered cow hoof with a pinch “Thank you so much, buddy! How about I hold it, you can chew; we can share.”

  He does do this with the other dog at times too, though. Usually when she’s calmed down and snoozing, he’ll bring a treat over to her, watch her accept it, and goes on his way.

  Gifting is his love language.
