• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you voice chat without bothering roommates?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL, that’s really neat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did browsers start being able to remember your previous session.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s definitely a security issue, I guess, but it’s not been an issue in the 20+ years I’ve been using computers so…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My brothers Chuwi laptop had major problems. Now he got a wal-mart gift card for the price he paid for the Chuwi. He is eyeing an HP laptop with 256gb ssd. Is that the same as a regular harddrive?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The lack of moving parts also makes SSDs drastically more drop resistant, and just generally less likely to die on you randomly. Not that they can’t, it’s just less common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not the guy you originally replied to. I’m a random third party that read what he said, read what you said, and then commented what I did.

  I didn’t read “you want them to feel like part of the in-group” as political. I read it as “you want them to feel like part of the family”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My brother/sister/nonbinary sibling in christ “make your kids feel included in the family” is absolutely not in any way psychopathic manipulation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “other; different in origin.” is the meaning of xeno.

  So… it kinda fits, it kinda doesn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because their first use knew what road it would lead them down.

  The vast majority of people aren’t starting with heroin or fent. They start with getting prescribed cough syrup with codeine in it, or a friend offers them something ‘fun’ at a party.

  And what about them? You can feel bad about them and bad about a celebrity dying. They’re not mutually exclusive.

  It’s harsh to phrase it this way, but frankly I don’t care all that much about the One Direction guy that died personally. I wasn’t a fan. It didn’t impact me emotionally, but I can still acknowledge that he was greatly loved and it sucks for his fans and- I assume- his family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No? This is a confusing question. Do you think they’re just committing suicide? Cuz most people that OD aren’t doing it intentionally. And even then… do you not feel bad for people that kill themselves?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are movies where the time loops over and over considered time travel movies?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m confused, do you think this is a request for time loop movies?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get over fear of cooking?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In response primarily to #4: Yeah, I’ve done a lot of cooking but I’ve never actually started a fire. As long as you’re not being wildly negligent or deep frying something the risk of burning something is very very low.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it ok if i don't identify as latino?? please don't say otherwise please⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, that name kinda checks out ngl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you scale down a firearm to make an identical looking firearm that fires a different round?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To clarify for the OP, these don’t generally scale down the whole gun. Caliber conversions can be as simple as swapping the bolt.

  You can also sometimes swap to a larger caliber. They make ‘conversion kits’ for the AR-15 that are functionally just most of a new gun. You can get those for a variety of calibers from 7.62x39 to .50 Beowulf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People don’t vote because they see the system is rigged so the popular vote isn’t a great standard to go by either, it’s a product of the system as well

  Yeah, I didn’t even bother. My area is such a strong republican district that my vote is functionally irrelevant. Hell, they didn’t even bother with democrat candidates on a local level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy really any different from reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  and more political just in general, actually

  Yeah, that’s pretty much the only part of Lemmy I don’t like. It feels drastically more political than Reddit did. I didn’t even know what the hell a tankie was before I joined Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the issue between the band Thrice and Google⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Who knows?

  This stuff just happens sometimes.

  I remember Tokyo by Imagine Dragons wasn’t available on Spotify for a few years. No clue why, but it just reappeared one day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL. That’s actually really cool info!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Double up. Assert dominance. Demand to be referred to as ‘Mister Doctor’. Hmm… ‘Doctor Mister’? I think I like Mr. Dr. better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is my reaction weird?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Boners are largely age dependent. I remember in high school I got random boners all the time and anything could trigger them.

  100%. I remember sometimes they’d happen in Church of all places. No clue what happened. Tip for anyone with this problem currently: flex your legs hard and repeatedly. Always worked for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I open something in the website?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh? You’re opening your browser, and going to amazon.com and it redirects you to the app?

  I will assume you’re on mobile. Try using your browsers incognito/private browsing feature- you’ll probably have to login again but it should prevent app redirects like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I wanted to die in a viking funeral, like getting put on a boat and set ablaze while I am in the middle of the see can this be done? Or is it even legal?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did he want to be fired without being cremated? I can’t imagine someone wanting to be splattered everywhere lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does alcohol expire? Specifically whiskey?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Grandma’s shot challenge from hell

  This is so funny I laugh every time I reread it
