• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a season pass in computer games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just a preorder for DLC, basically, or if they’re all released it’s just a DLC bundle pack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why was Hitler so mean and hateful toward one group or another? I find it hard to believe he woke up one day and said you and you suck but these people over here are good. Taking it so far as killing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know. I have played very little CK3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are “female jocks” called?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I’ve never really considered Jock a properly gendered term. I think personally I’d probably just use Jock as a gender neutral term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are “female jocks” called?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  idk about that. Tomboy means more than ‘girl that does sports’. If anything, I’d say the sports aspects are the additional connotations it’s gained more recently.

  “Expelling the Jews” is a mechanic in Crusader Kings 2. And it gets abused like it did historically, too- borrow a shitload of money and then expel the Jews. Suddenly you found free money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is TikTok being blocked in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  iOS only. Sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is a scene in Saving Private Ryan where a soldier gets shot in the helmet and it bounces off. Now a days soldiers seem to get shot in the helmet and it goes right thru. How come and why?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Surviving a headshot isn’t particularly likely in any scenario. Helmets are more to stop shrapnel, glancing blows, and- depending on the helmet- maybe pistol rounds. Realistically, a helmet just isn’t stopping a direct shot with a rifle round.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to take CPU out?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tried twisting first. Didn’t work lol. It was very stubborn. I’m still using the CPU rn so it ended fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to take CPU out?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have an AM4 CPU, and legitimately suction lifted the CPU out of the socket entirely on accident. I was changing heatsinks, and the CPU came with the darn thing. I had to pry it off with a knife.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I wear hardware o rings with my 4g piercing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  why would you assume it’s safe?

  They’d didn’t assume it was safe? They thought maybe it was and asked to double check…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can you bypass a Reddit site ban?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume many on Lemmy face similar situations and also switched to Lemmy because of a similar reason I don’t know that I’ve actually seen someone admit that they’re on Lemmy because they were banned from Reddit.

  Most people just don’t like Reddit for some reason or another. Pretty sure Lemmy as a whole gained a lot of population when Reddit did their API changes- that’s when I joined Lemmy. I used Baconreader for years, and I refused to swap to their dogshit mobile app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the United States has Cuba banned from things, how does Guantanamo Bay exist?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  From some perspectives, those are the same things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  …no? Why would the judge care if you were old when you were driving drunk?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do airplanes have big front "headlights"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re supposed to keep their lights on under 10000ft. They’re less for the pilots, at least aside from takeoff/landing, and more for other planes.

  Idk why that specific configuration was chosen- to pull double duty, I guess? They’re functionally landing lights, but also warning lights if they’re low/in crowded airspace.

  I just googled the question, and looked around a bit so it’s possible this is wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why does everyone i know treat me like a child or if i was a very childlike person??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I deadass have been ID’d a single time since growing a beard- when I decided to try shaving it. It’s real lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do games like Minecraft require a launcher?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate when games launch directly into a cutscene. Let me change my graphics, turn on subtitles, change the audio, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do games like Minecraft require a launcher?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only game I can think of that doesn’t actually require a restart is Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries. I’m sure there’s more, but that’s what I’ve encountered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  First, I’m not an electrician, or anything even vaguely approaching one.

  I’ve never heard that advice with extension cords, only power strips.

  You could theoretically link enough extension cords together to cause problems, but it would need to be some extremely shit extension cords or a LOT of them. Resistance increases over distance, which in power cables manifests as them getting hotter. That isn’t a problem until all the sudden it is a problem.

  For power strips, the main danger is that you’re potentially introducing more outlets than any of them are rated for. If you’re just using 2 3ft power bars to functionally make a 6ft cable that you’re only plugging a single thing into… you’re fine. Or at least I was, idk I did it for like a whole year. If you’re plugging 16 things into a single wall outlet via power strips you can trip the circuit breaker, or potentially much worse stuff can happen like things getting melty and starting a fire.

  If you know enough of what you’re doing to math out the power draw+what your outlet/power strips are rated for you can pretty (afaik) safely daisy chain them if you wanna.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there people without handedness?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My brain just autocorrected it, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there people without handedness?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you even read the OP or have they changed it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you voice chat without bothering roommates?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not ideal, but in a pinch: yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, dear. No, I meant like a baby chicken. It’s apparently a reasonably common thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. It’s better than it used to be- you can get a reasonable output far easier than you could previously, but if it’s going to fuck up anything it’s going to fuck up the hands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s more than one video of horses eating a chick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL, that’s really neat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like you’re looking for deep meaningful conversation in the comments of thirst trap posts. Which is wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are examples of things that would get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances of Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember commenting in a sub and getting bounced by automod because I didn’t meet a karma limit. Which is fine, lots of subs have karma limits. But it felt really high- I had a couple thousand karma at the time- and the mods explicitly wouldn’t tell you what the actual limit was.

  So I guess you’re just supposed to let automod bounce you occasionally til you manage to hit their magic number.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are examples of things that would get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances of Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, that kinda makes sense in that context. I can at least see where they’re coming from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should South Korea launch a preemptive attack on North Korea?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It kinda can’t, though. ‘South Korea will be leveled’ is basically the worst imaginable outcome, unless you’re saying they’ll nuke the friends SK invites. Realistically, ‘no nukes/missile strikes at other countries’ is probably going to be China’s only requirement for assistance. Which would make it a horrible grueling land war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the typical sentence for Hunter Biden's Tax Evasion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like the distinction is that when they started the investigation they had no idea about the crimes. They were just looking for literally anything. It was a fishing expedition, basically.
