  Obviously “Cry, bark, groan”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s effectively just the bottom track, where an uncountable number of people (literally) will die as soon as the train reaches position (0.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imperial Wastes So Much Time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “A0 is defined so that it has an area of 1 m^2 (11 sq ft) before rounding to the nearest 1 millimetre (0.039 in).”

  There’s a connection, but after that it’s base 1/2 instead of base 10 (or 1/10). So A4 is ~1/16 m^2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do all American stores have greeters?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. A typical “supermarket” (grocery + clothes, housewares, etc.) does not, nor do smaller stores that are mostly just grocery. Walmart is an exception.

  Costco has people who could be called greeters, but they are just checking that you, or someone you are with, has a paid membership. Some stores have security guards at the entrances, but that’s a different thing.

  Oof ouch my bones [are hurting me]!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump administration drops defense of ban on employee 'noncompete' agreements⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so hard to read, but I think the end result is of course the anti-worker one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say hello to Bary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you have ever done a handstand then you have lifted over your head the weight that the entire mass of the earth has in your own gravitational field.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say hello to Bary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say that the original statement not including “sometimes” does in fact make it the ‘not a fact’ type of factoid!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say hello to Bary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish that was updated for the current year (and beyond) It’s important to know when giving OP’s statement whether it’s outside the sun at the moment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨carrot⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Steps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call of Cthulhu⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That version is probably too old and will complain

  (Only partly /s)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get Clam'd⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok. I’m ootl. Please explain?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NGL Sony lost it with the PS5, Its soooo ugly to me!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Experts warn against YouTube’s “creepy” AI age estimation system launching in the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It will be great when it says I’m under 18 while my account is over 18.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t looked into it yet, but my guess is that this is only for new articles, but existing ones defaced by AI can just be reverted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three questions about superpowers, which is the best, and which is the worst?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  1. Perhaps Japan?
  2. I feel like the US is getting really close to this honor, but I would still name a different one. Not sure which.
  3. Germany being all anti-nuclear-powerplant without (in my opinion) good reason.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way two of the usb's are one way while the other is another way⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a spin 1/2 object, like electrons. 360 degrees is half a full rotation for it, so that’s what’s needed to switch it to the right state to fit. If you spun it 360 more degrees it would be back to the original state and not fit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bat flies into woman's mouth in Arizona, costing her nearly $21,000 in medical bills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Paying literally hundreds of dollars per month as soon as I no longer have income isn’t a reasonable expectation either.

  If a freak accident like this happens while I don’t have a job, I’ll just go bankrupt and likely become homeless, then die. I’m counting on that not happening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discuss:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just in case anyone thought this was just a joke…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue Whales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t be surprised. I’d guess a lot of the law stuff is either wrong or super obvious also. But I did like the show

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue Whales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, a TV show character who is obsessed with whales, and talks about them non-stop when allowed.

  (The plot of the show is that she’s Korea’s first autistic attorney.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨outside inside⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s true. I actually watched both versions

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue Whales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, that lady doesn’t look like Woo Young-woo, whether it is read straight or flipped. Kayak, deed, rotator, noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo, Yeoksam Station.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨outside inside⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “pass through itself” does seem like cheating to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what type of laugh is this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Deleted? I’m seeing status 404 on that link.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dress like Ellen Feiss?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American former tech executive explains how to make users more addicted⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s basically newsletters, forum digests, podcasts, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American former tech executive explains how to make users more addicted⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American former tech executive explains how to make users more addicted⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, you too!

  Of course Lemmy and such inherit some of that design even without the money behind it - there’s certainly a little dopamine hit when I see that one of my comments has gotten a reply, or when I check and see that it’s been upvoted.

  Not having the incentive to enshittify is good though.
