Yeah fr, this is wild but the spider is the least of it lol. Hand grabbing a horsefly and straight up pocketing it? Absolutely unhinged. Delivering it by hand to a spider? Priceless.

Probably, theyre educational. Genuinely feel like the media i consume is what alienates me from other Americans.

Simpler phonetics. Children learn languages at different rates because some languages are literally harder to learn, as a result of more or less distinct phonetics and grammar.

- Comment on I've been waiting for this for a long time. 2 weeks ago:
I recommend everyone pirate every game to try it, and if you feel that it is worth the asking price then pay that,or donate more. I was playing factorio for probably 7 years before i bought it because i couldnt afford the game.That being said I did buy it, because it is a game that I have installed on multiple computers over the years. If I have to redownload your game launcher, I typically just buy it now. Before companies start trying to take advantage of this, if I have to uninstall your launcher because of a bug or enshittification the chances of me ever playing your gake again go down dramatically, damn near zero unless you gather cultural relevance for a decade.
- Comment on [Technology Connections] Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) [52:12] 2 weeks ago:
You dont want to do that in a gas car either. A lot of the impurities in the gas settle out to the bottom of the gas tank, if you run your vehicle low on gas its easier for that layer to be agitated and your engine takes those impurities instead.

I think you’re overthinking this. Line go up =maybe next year ee can afford your bonus. Line go down = layoffs. This is exactly how every company works, this isnt a new thing.

I like to blow a quick raspberry. Every cat in the room instantly looks at me, all equally confused. Gets em every time.

Is it really a grift to sell to MAGA? They live in their own reality, if you say its a superfood to them it might as well be.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 3 weeks ago:
My financial situation means that if that phone fails to work or breaks rapidly, the loss of that $200 is extremely consequential. Odds are lower that an unused phone will break within the 5 years i need them to last

Nope this is just run if the mill bullying again
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 3 weeks ago:
Well google just renabled automatic app updates and it broke a bunch of my apps because I get the pre adware/spyware/buyout version of apps. So ive been in the market the last week for a graphene phone. Seems pretty likely ill get a stock android phone thats supported by grapheneOS and flash it myself, im uncomfortable with buying a pre used $200 phone.

You do? That doesnt really seem like a very good reason to make fun of him.

Yeah, i assumed this was the default for pc as well. Admittedly, i dont know much about steam achievements though as my frist playthrough of a game is normally obtained… elsewhere 🏴☠️
- Comment on What's the weirdest argument you've gotten into with someone? 3 weeks ago:
You have to understand that most humans are really fucking stupid, or at least illogical. Take every interaction with a grain of salt, because the person you are arguing with at the end of the day is a barely functional slab of meat that nature trained to think, as a joke.
- Comment on What's the weirdest argument you've gotten into with someone? 3 weeks ago:
I like to just respond with “Oh… ok.” And then stare at them for a massively uncomfortable amount of time. Really let them marinate in it. Even if they dont realise theyre being stupid, it makes them feel very awkward and hopefully pavlovs them into saying less dumb shit around me.

- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, if they were in one place. Not 5000 remaining survivors scattered all sround the world. Also, keep in mind that this would be an ongoing catastrophe, not something the world will just bounce back from once the humans are gone.
- Comment on What happens to flies when you let them fly out the window of a car at 75 mph? 3 weeks ago:
The acceleration over time(g force) is determined by the balance between the size and shape of the wing compared to the momentum of the flies body, as long as that proportion is extremely small it would fall below the material strength of the wings connective tissue. Seeing as their wings are extremely small and their momentum is extremely small, the only real variable here is the shape of their wings(technically im referring to its aerodynamic drag versus lift both with respect to the vector of motion, but were just gonna say shape{also when i say “wing” im referring to the area exposed to oncoming atmosphere, which would include the body}). As long as the shape isnt too big in comparison to the momentum, it should be fine.
Tl;dr/eli5: if it tucks its wings it will survive. At that speed if it untucks its wings they get ripped off and the fly becomes a walk.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 3 weeks ago:
Then it would take one more at that point. Solve enough problems and eventually people will realize they need to stop creating them. Or solve your neighbors. As long as someone is ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING against the biggest problem, the rest of them can wait until someone is ready to solve them. When the biggest issue is dealt with, then we can start solving the smaller ones.

America, where there is an actively sitting known pedophile president protecting a group of elite pedophiles
Well, we’re not trying that hard. Seriously, it takes one person to put an end to all this misery and yet we don’t. Until there’s real progress in the US, it’s safe to say that each and every American supports our presidents actions if nothing else through refusal to stop him.

- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know enough about browsers to really know anything about chromium. But I did see a statement from Google which I believe stated that they were removing support for adblockers from chromium based browsers. It was at that point that I decided I did want to continue having a usable browsing experience, and immediately swapped.

This is wildly pedantic, but ufologists must love aeronautics. I’m personally more interested in what’s in the ufo tbh.
- Comment on Can't click my app controls! 4 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s just shitty phones ¯_(ツ)_/¯ either way though, if your feature makes my phone unusable it’s def gonna trigger me. Obviously that’s very self centered, but I believe accessability should be for everyone. Far too often devs remove beloved features from their software and it breaks so many legacy features.
