- Comment on Hundreds Of ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Props And Costumes Go Up For Auction; Bidding Open Now 4 days ago:
Do they take us for fools?! They have replicators in Star Trek so these props and costumes are worthless!
- Comment on Why is it that when the graphics driver freaks out in your browser when watching a video, the page always turns this specific shade of green? 6 days ago:
Trees appear green because they absorb red and blue light while reflecting green light. Maybe your TV is photosynthesising ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just wanted to add to the list of unhelpful answers
- Comment on Some things were better in the good old days 1 week ago:
But they had more fun colours for appliances

- Comment on Petition update | Petitions to continue *Starfleet Academy* break 30,000 signatures 2 weeks ago:
Everything is so on the nose with modern Star Trek. I really struggled to get into Discovery and didn’t even bother with Academy. Lower Decks is great. 🖖
- Comment on I'm thinking of putting my cat on an all vegan diet. What are some good veggies and plant based proteins for cats? 3 weeks ago:
I suggest a cheesy lasagna
- Comment on Does Anyone Else get the thing where an otherwise nice-tasting cheese randomly tastes of vomit, or have I just been really unlucky and eaten a lot of mouldy/rotten cheese in my time? 3 weeks ago:
It’s the same flavour (from butyric acid) in both. It just depends on what your brain chooses to associate that smell with that determines the taste. So your brain is just switching between the two. Maybe look at the cheese packet when you’re eating it to see if you can help your brain get the right answer

- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 4 weeks ago:
The US has some amazing musicians
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Native English speak (Australian) and I didn’t get full marks when I did my Canadian permit residency English test. That’s all I speak and apparently not well.

This photo could be achieved with a telescopic lens
- Comment on LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next? 1 month ago:
Maybe the maintainer of LemmyNSFW actually meant a different NSFW acronym like “No Shoes For Whales” and was confused about the content they were hosting
- Comment on California Just Killed Open Source - YouTube 1 month ago:
Apart from the extruder, what parts of a 3D printer are not of the shelf electronics? It seems like a lot of folks are going to have their random electronics seized.

Won’t people just buy them from China?

- Comment on Why does google decide to log people out of all their google accounts all at once with no warning? 2 months ago:
I don’t have this issue. It sounds like Larry Page and Sergey Brin just don’t like you
- Comment on The old icons were better 2 months ago:
lol, the phone app was called dialler because at the time it didn’t make sense to have a phone app called phone.

I get the joke but some folks won’t get it. OP should explain the joke for those folks who missed it

- Comment on (TW) Phishing mail in 2026 3 months ago:
That’s actually really clever. Triggering an anger response with an urgency to act will reduce the victim’s critical thinking and make the phishing attack more likely to succeed.
- Comment on France seeks to ban social media for children under 15 3 months ago:
I don’t mean it to be. I’m trying to be a realist so that I can take appropriate steps to protect myself online. If you want to be anonymous on social media then you should only connect via a VPN. And if you’re using a VPN you can set your location to be somewhere that doesn’t have these requirements. There are other ways that these companies can track you as well and they will freely give this data to the authorities. Even if you’re protect yourself from all of those vectors, if you upload a photo of yourself or someone else tags you then there is a good chance you’re identifiable with tools like ClearView. People making the argument that this new restriction will allow governments to track citizens clearly have no clue about the current surveillance systems. I’m not pro these surveillance systems but this ignorance is dangerous. The biggest danger I see from these new rules are data leaks.

Governments already have access to your data and can easily link you to your social media accounts

I sometimes eat raw pasta when I’m cooking pasta and I’m impatiently checking if it’s ready after 2 minutes
