  If it worked like that, everyone would have defederated .world cca December 2023.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learning a new language is easy!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s like saying you can read a sentence written in rot13. Technically yes, you can decipher it, but it’s not as easy. The spaces are used for a reason. Same with punctuation.

  You know that trick where people can mostly recognise words with scrambled letters, as long as the first and last are right? Long, unknown words scramble that, and force you to parse them “manually”, and even then, in your own example, you can easily misread (and then have to go back and correct yourself) cANYou…, canYOUREad…, …ceEVENTho…, …venTHOUGHT-HEREar…, …ghTHE-REARen…,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When the opening goes out of its way to divert the conversation into political blame slinging, the vitriol is very much warranted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you talking about? Current absolutely changes! Your own formula requires I=V/R

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where's the mayor?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d hazard a guess that your first “because” is mistaken, and point out that the mayor is himself a former cop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where's the mayor?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d hazard a guess the post titled “Where’s the mayor” is more likely about the mayor than about the arsonist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depending on the angle (a lot going on there) you could go with “denial”. As in, you’re lying, because if you’re bot, then my life sucked, and that’s unacceptable, so you’re lying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don't need to answer this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  champagne

  lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon creates a business plan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Tipping is not already included in the price of the meal. Living wage is included in the price of the meal.

  That is the tip. In the US, “tipped” labor often has a reduced minimum wage, under the expectation that they make the difference up in tips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drink the climate change away⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a very creative way of making milk that isn’t spoiled, but tastes like it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forbidden magic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How many goddamn ads can you fit into a wiki?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Beowulf (2007).

  Yes, the cgi aged badly, but everyone panned it for the plot change, which was the thing I liked about it the most!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨November⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And still in use in server racks, though not as originally designed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pump up the jamz⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Calm down there, Posadas…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heeeeeere's Luce⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Luce is light. Lucifer is bringer of light.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to improve your Lemmy experience⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …and nothing of value was lost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry, “sympathy for enemy combatant” is a banable offence?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asian Beauty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew a barista that set the wifi pass to “ten bucks”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Difficult Times⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, they’re not shitposts, but they are, by and large, shit posts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Element in water heater died; less than two months old.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it did, the heater wouldn’t look like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the SCO system. If I can swipe the item, swipe the card, and walk, then yeah, great. But if it can’t handle small items, can’t handle packages, and in particular makes you scan the receipt, no thanks. You cut an employee, eat the shrinkage and leave me alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This made me so angry, enjoy!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Double new lines, it eats single ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End nuclear fusion!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, there’s areas where it’s surprisingly hard for laypeople to tell apart “mostly useless” and “saves lives on a daily basis”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never ask⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, see, some people would like to return to the time when saying “terrorist” would get people foaming at the mouth and approve whatever the military wants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Varanasi gouldii burrows⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it’s from a news graphic giving a detailed, annotated breakdown of the “compound” he was hiding in, the compound being an actual, literal hole in the ground, but presented as if explaining some piece of high-tech military hardware, with Saddam himself presented as if he were a component.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't a fan of Judas⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe “gnosticism” is the term, though I’ve heard them also called “dualistic” heresies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games popularized certain mechanics?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, CoD2 switched to health regen and dumped the health bar before them. It was partially to adapt to the console gameplay pioneered by, IIRC, Bungee with Halo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon needs help reading a social situation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That how you fell for Satan?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon interviews for a job⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bait used to be believable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is French⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Adapter for rifle grenades.
