  This is because google, surprise surprise, actually knows who you are.

  I have very similar results looking for things like Dota 2 hero names. It knows Bane is the nightmare purple monster, not the masked walking meme batman villain, and I don’t have to specify.

  What google is TRULY garbage at is answering questions.

  I love that Junji Ito has a bunch of stories that are metaphors for stuff like this. This one. Snail Girl being the same allegory as Metamorphosis. The tall actress being about the anxiety you feel when you know a coworker might ruin the business but everyone else seems to not care. The woman in the window and the window creeping closer is one of the ones most on the nose.

  But then he also has the hot spring to hell which is literally “stupid man experiences stupid horror”. He just felt like making cheap horror that month, lol.

  The longer the vehicle, the less sense this question makes.

  Finished Yugioh the sacred cards just now, and got annoyed they never let you use Winged Dragon of Ra.

  Wait, 6 cents? That’s three times what I paid to print stuff at uni.

  Okay that was a decade ago, but still, I don’t pay 3x for other office services.

  It’s updates for the cybersecurity that exists strictly only because it is connected to the internet which in turn is something that exists strictly only because there’s software updates.

  Megaman Battle Network was prophetic. Terrorist will flood your house using a phone.

  They’re, in summary, extremely horny. They make groups of a couple dozen and form a somewhat open social hierarchy that is mostly matriarchal. The way this structure is defined and reinforced is with lots and lots of sex.

  Oh and they’re the second closest relative humans have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If monkeys masturbate, why don't they get addicted?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This comment makes a presumption about the workings of monkey brains that the video of a monkey using a crane lift or if the mice driving cars (even without reward treats) seem to disagree with.

  Oohh ooh ahh-haa (“A cat is fine too”)

  You clearly have not heard about the Bonobos

  Dota.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hopsital⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Earlier on Lemmy’s life, there was someone here telling people of how many fake reddit stories they had written to places like Am I The Asshole using numerous alts.

  And how they were convinced of doing it because they were an editor, and they were used to seeing so much badly written anecdotes with no respect for narrative or proper focus on details of importance… Until Reddit hapenned and flipped that. It was a source of far too many interesting and well edited stories and something was off. They were certain that the average person with a story to tell was far less educated in English than what Reddit had to offer, and the answer was that people were just using it as a creative writing exercise platform. So, they used it that way too, since they wanted to bea fiction writer.

  The solution is crossposting. If the threads on OP are all by the same user, then they should be crossposting, and mods should be warning them to do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yay or Nay?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Utterly useless without connectivity to a watch device. I used both a mi band and let the game run on my mattress and the band actually noticed the times I woke up in the middle of the night and fell asleep again, while the phone just kept chugging on deep sleep. I can’t trust its numbers.

  Also, I’m lucky to have an actual OLED screen, so I’m not concerned about the way the game does screen off. But most don’t and this game is way more wasteful too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's a reasonable sort for lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It shouldn’t be THAT broken, however, broke it absolutely is and there was even some github issues on the matter.

  Apparently a side effect of lemmy.world going into maintenance so often is that the hot sort refreshes itself a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where do the instances actually reside?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Brb, taping some PS3’s together.
