In German there’s an insult: “Sitzpinkler”. It means “someone who sits down when peeing”. Never heard anyone use it seriously though.

They are axle to reuse the rockets
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 4 weeks ago:
They are essentially doing the good side of capitalism - making stuff cheaper
I mean yeah, it’s cheaper due to technological advancement, but I fail to see how that’s an effect of capitalism. I’d argue similar developments would have been made even without capitalism. I just don’t think we would have the desire to leave this place without capitalism, but that’s besides the point.

It sounds a bit like your poor driving is the cause for you to survive so many car crashes.

The headline makes it sound much worse. Sounds like a creative workaround for employees not being able to receive gifts or something. The “competition” was clearly made for that exact person to win it.

- Comment on Are cars with AWD worth it compared to FWD. 3 months ago:
Can’t really give you a reply, but I suggest you to just go to a dealership and take whatever ioniq you are most interested in for a test drive. I sometimes to that just for fun, even though I’m not even actually interested in buying one lol. tbf, I get that sometimes dealerships are quite far to go to, but having an hour or two with a car to drive around really gives you a good idea of how you like it.

also regenerative charging causes brake pads to wear much more slowly. to the point that sometimes the rotors start to rust badly because the actual brakes get used so little.
- Comment on When was the last time you made Jello? 4 months ago:
Yes, obviously the second comment was written by a non-US person. Nobody is trying to say otherwise.
Your original comment starts with pointing out that there isn’t just US English, and quite rudely so. Again, nobody is trying to say otherwise. The third comment was just a US person clearing up the non-US person’s conception about the usage of words in the US. So you pointing out that there are people outside of the US, who use words differently than people inside the US was entirely unnecessary. That’s what most people are taking issue with, I think.
Again, it’s kinda funny how much effort you’re putting into this. It feels a lot like you’re just trying to be correct in some way, instead of just admitting that your first comment was out of line. Welcome to my block list, and goodbye.

How convenient to leave out the third comment, the one you replied to.
The second comment was not just “higlighting a difference in US English versus English elsewhere”, it was claiming that US English calls jam jelly, and the third one corrected that claim.
Of course there are other English speaking countries besides the US, but the third comment was absolutely justified in correcting what the second comment claimed. It’s not like there was some person from the US who said that all English is like that, making your comment pretty unnecessary.

Its kinda funny how much effort you put into this comment, despite the context explicitly being about US English
- Comment on Petition to pass paid leave nationwide delivered to all members of congress 4 months ago:
Idk, seems to me that the continuation of pay was your company being nice:
The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave.
- Comment on I don't have AC but my apartment lease covers unlimited water usage and the water is very cold. How can I best use this to cool my home? 4 months ago:
Dry air will allow more sweat to evaporate, providing the cooling effect right on your skin instead of in the air you blast at yourself. It’s basically the better swamp cooler.

I use Xfce for my media laptop and was wondering why anyone would use virtual desktops when the buttons on the top panel are so tiny and annoying to click
Then I recently found out you can move your cursor all the way to the left or right edge and scroll with your mouse wheel to switch virtual desktops.
Made me consider actually using virtual desktops lol

That’s kinda the exact opposite. Not many people want to use small instances, so not many people are interested in fixing something like that. However, let’s say lemmy.world becomes unusable because of too much cross-server communication. That would cause inconvenience to way more people, increasing the likelihood that someone will do the work to fix it.

Idk, I didn’t like it. Might just be the people around here who use it tho. The way the 16 personalities test thingy is ingrained there also kinda rubbed me the wrong way.

I’m sure if we reach that point, someone will add a method for batching cross-server communication. That’s the beauty of FOSS
- Comment on Have you ever had a phone call interrupted by a 3rd party voice saying "this call is being recorded"? 4 months ago:
That’s pretty creepy. I had computer voices asking Mr whether I agree to being recorded for training purposes when calling customer support and the likes. But never during a private call.
Maybe contact/write to your provider or something?
- Comment on Are Tetra Paks actually recyclable? 4 months ago:
In places where glass is reused, it’s definitely the best option. It’s heavier so it has a higher co2 output during transport but glass bottles can be reused up to 50 times, saving co2 in the long run.
But I have to concede, in america aluminum is probably the best option.
