  Actually, he’s such a gun afficiando that he regularly eats bullets for breakfast, but this time accidentally ate a live round which was later set off by stomach acid and propelled in an upward direction at a slight angle.

  You wouldn’t be though. It’s 10 hours younger looking (presumably than your actual age, so it doesn’t stack)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But you’re not actually losing age in this one, just looking 10 hours younger so it wouldn’t really stack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there’s always dust and air).

  Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.

  Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, if any caucasianswanna experience a taste of racism/discrimination, just head down to certain areas of Richmond, BC Canada

  • Signage only in Chinese (violates language laws)

  • Restaurants that won’t even acknowledge your presence (if non Chinese)

  • Realtors that won’t show you housing (if non Chinese)

  But if course nobody will do anything because to address the issue said seem… racist.

  And that’s the funny thing. Because people at the top of the racist pyramid generally share the same skin color, ethnicity and/or pants-contents as you, you get to be grouped in as “the oppressor”. Even if you share a lot more in common with victims of the same system, complaints are met with decision and ignored.

  That’s because it’s easier to divide and conquer by skin and gender to hide the real class war that exists.

  Ok… well we are discussing the fictive ability to speak with somebody who is dead. I’m assuming that whatever necromancy/chronomancy is involved included some sort of translation.

  Hell, if it’s necromancy then the only thing we might get out of poor Leo is a “cerveeeeeeelli” before he lunges across the table :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d go for Leonardo. The others - while I understand things at a basic level - I’d likely not be able to understand most of their fields.

  Maybe Tesla but I’m not sure if the conversation would end up centered around some of the neat science stuff I could grasp or pigeons with laser-eyes …

  As far as ones who actually did things there I’m not sure that Hawking would have even been physically capable at a point where he was famous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The average age of Disney princesses is 505y.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where did they get the ages from then? It seems to me most Disney movies explicitly don’t mention age in any sort of direct manner

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The average age of Disney princesses is 505y.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure Alice would even qualify as a Disney Princess, unless there’s some lineage I’m unaware of. She’s already one of the few without some sort of romantic subplot.

  Mulan… Aristocracy with a royal award maybe, but not really royalty either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  New product idea. A smart toilet which measures each load for weight, scent output, liquidity, girth, and length (compensating for water volume and pre-TP) before you flush.

  Forget competing with friends for Fitbit steps. It’ll be “Suzy had one that required the poo knife, but Bobby’s toilet called 9-1-1 for him so I think he wins”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. I played that biach in poker and she cleaned me out. Pay sure she had her little animal friends informing on my card.

  Fair my ass…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic Rocks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense.

  When I spend a lot of time doing 3D design work I find myself looking at the world afterwards in terms of underlying mathematics, angles and shapes. Like I’ll look at a cabinet and see rectangles and cylindrical cuts that could reproduce it in 3d, or a lamp-post as a circle extruded along a path.

  People who are really into rocks probably notice more about that stuff because their brains are hyper-focused on such

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hygiene⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s horrible but kinda hilarious too. Wondering how the hell they tracked that one down.

  “Well this one had bits of corn and bean in it but only Bob had that today for lunch and I’m positive I saw him bolting for the men’s room, so mayyybe…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hygiene⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got a cheaper, tap-cold only version (mainly because that’s the easiest to install without running new plumbing or electrical in that particular location). Honestly the cold water isn’t so bad. It can even numb things up if you’ve been dehydrated and launched a particularly stressful cannonball.

  I thought it was supposed to be a pineapple?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA on privuhcy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So how about when a link is shared on Lemmy or Reddit or FB? Do the latter strip out the identifiers, or does that one person’s reshared post associate them with the clicks of thousands of others?

  For web links, they’d also be able to find the source from the referrer tags etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the universe about to have a little minty b⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And figured out parallax a long time ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. I use credit a lot but also pay off my cards every pay period. I get that it sucks for merchants, but you know what sucks worse: getting cheated like this on a debit/cash transaction, or worse having your debit card skimmed.

  A relative of mine had the latter and the bank froze her account for weeks while investigating. If it was a credit card they’d just freeze the transaction and maybe send you a replacement card with different #

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This does seem like an important step. Like yeah, absolutely report this to the vendor but a theft also occurred so at least get a file going. Providing a police file # might have been enough to get them to refund as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McPenis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeahhhhh. It used to be when we called the place McDick’s it was commentary on the food/service quality not the menu items

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it very much depends on the type of and source of pain.

  For me, Tylenol works for headaches and some cold/flu stuff but I’ve never really found it effective for strained muscles etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but Nintendo doesn’t always seem to give a shit just because something is legal. They’ll still play the “but our legal department has more money than YOU” card

  I wonder how hard it would be for an “unofficial” patch to “somehow” be released that restores the previous functionality

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liquid Trees⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still want the trees outdoors, but this would be cool for indoor spaces. Each mall or parking lot could have a solar panel overhead and slime-tanks to produce useful byproducts.

  Maybe it could be mixed with and aquaculture like fish and sea plants to create cool scenery

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TV Broadcasters: “oh, so you want more shitty ‘reality TV’ then?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point in getting married?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. My buddy lived with his SO. They had kids together. I believe they did have plans to get married but there were financial/planning considerations. At the time, the house was in his name.

  He died unexpectedly and without warning due to a previously unknown medical condition. I don’t believe he had a W&T.

  The paperwork she had to deal with - much of which would have been not required had they been married - was horrendous, especially anything bank related. The bank also seemed to be doing their best to fuck her over in regards to the family home. It was a nasty ordeal.
