  Hard to compost someone alive… they just crawl out of the pile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did anyone here ever actually play the Mousetrap board game or use the cards in Operation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played Operation straight by the rules several times. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a copy of Mousetrap that had all the pieces.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time travel and the economy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Arbitrage would iron out market inefficiencies across time as well as space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're not attracted to anyone "in your league", but you cannot choose who you are attracted to, then what are you supposed to do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So it turns out people also are attracted to people below their “league”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Winter does not start on the same day everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t? Winter starts weeks before the solstice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, your colon is a poop buffer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Apple kill iTunes for windows?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to double-check, but I think 1.7.2 was the last one with both Visualizer and Party Shuffle.

  It’s fucking amazing to me that in the decade since I haven’t been able to find a music library software that has both smart playlists and something like Party Shuffle. If I had more free time I might have written one myself by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Apple kill iTunes for windows?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is great news! Now I can finally go back to using the last good version of iTunes without worrying about it accidentally updating to a later version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe we’re endowed with Godly emotions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most Americans Feel Good About Their Job Security but Not Their Pay⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m one of the ones happy with my pay but stressed about my job security.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do people dance?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also:

  • Weddings
  • School dances
  • Block Parties
  • House Parties
  • at home with romantic partner and family
  • work parties
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do people dance?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are barn dances every Monday night at the Irish American Heritage Center here in Chicago. Usually Contras and some Waltzes, every so often a Square. The IAHC also hosts Ceili dances but that’s less accessible for beginners.

  I know there are Swing clubs and Salsa clubs throughout town as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨to those of you not very talkative / introverted, how do you survive the constant pressure and misunderstandings from coworkers and future employers to open up, talk more?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had this conversation with my boss a couple months ago, and it turns out the only change I needed to make was eating and caffeinating before commuting. I was being grumpy and gruff in that period before we opened to the public when my only interaction was with my coworkers, and it was mostly because I was waiting to get to work to eat and drink my morning tea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you die, what do you want to be done with you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “This is an outrage! I was going to eat that mummy!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you die, what do you want to be done with you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  pack my ashes into a cannonball and shot me over Lake Michigan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you're the kind of person not to burn bridges when leaving a toxic job or toxic coworkers, why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone talks to everyone. I don’t need a viper at my back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would social events be better if phones didn't have data?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more that we’d enjoy it more if everyone put theirs away, but since we can’t ensure coöperation there’s no reason not to also defect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What options does one have when they reach the end of a car lease but cannot find a good deal at the time of it's end?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Use public transit and bicycles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sanders? Probably.

  Someone else? Depends on their policies and what you mean by “liberals”. If you mean general center-left / Democrat base types, probably they vote for the DNC nominee. If you mean people devoted to Enlightenment Liberalism, it depends on how authoritarian the the candidate is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What good thing just happened in your life?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I started a new job I really like, and got offered a promotion at the old job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why are fax machines still used by medical systems?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the eyes of the law, a fax is a secure way to send personal information. An email, even an encrypted one, is not. We need to fix the law, but lawmakers as a rule do not understand technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I fart all the time when I'm trying to sleep?!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As you relax, so do your sphincter muscles.

  Can’t answer that, but I can tell you that lemmy lets you edit post titles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are disabled people and the elderly going to survive another Trump presidency?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When Clinton lost we didn’t have a hostile Supreme Court.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For my fellow Americans, when is enough enough?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been more than enough for a while now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry, you’re looking at these results and seeing too little democracy in play?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't Lemmy have a system like Reddit's Karma?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It… does, though? I always go to my profile and check how my comments are doing before I sign off. Numbers go bigger make dopamine go brrrr.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do different ethnicities/races look different?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Without the evolutionary pressure to maintain high melanin levels in the skin, and possibly also from interbreeding with Neanderthaal, European people’s got paler.

  Someone mutated to have eyes that were paler and more sensitive to light, which was useful during the longer nights further north, and that mutation spread.

  So it’s a bit of both.
