• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Technology Connections] I was right about dishwasher pods, and now I can prove it [41:26]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine doesn’t even have a detergent door, just a divot to fill with powder before closing. It’s one of those countertop ones though, so I guess the available space and complexity was a bit limited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come the fuck on.... please?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I may be an optimist in some ways, but I honestly expect civilization will persist through “all this”. Though of course, that isn’t really much comfort considering that doesn’t mean that it won’t absolutely suck for the people within it all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking genetics⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there something that does the reverse? I’m not personally a fan of the look and feel of facial hair (for myself that is), and I find it annoying having to shave all the time only for the hair to come right back before too long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I like to fit a full portion of hot garbage in there too ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Or in a more literal reading, nitroglycerin

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨beta-tetra-eel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But how does the tetra obtain your financial information in the first place? Phishing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I tire of this life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet if you blasted a crab with a strong enough beam of UV you could get it to sunburn eventually. Or at least suffer some equivalent injury

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨engagement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree, I sometimes do laugh at explained jokes, if the reason is something I can understand but didn’t connect the dots on rather than an in-joke that I don’t have the context for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I once found a random food court bathroom that has hand dryers that work amazingly well, and I was genuinely surprised by that when I stumbled on it. I’m guessing it probably is just more expensive or uses more power or something and places cheap out on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just in time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bold of you to assume the guys crewing that spaceship aren’t just doing some job they hate to pay the bills

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨excuse me????⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ah, right, forgot about hornbills

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨excuse me????⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do any birds have horns? (Rather than just horn shaped tufts of feathers)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Memes like this just make me get anxious thinking about the past

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OK what is your Roman name?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Falafel gyroius just sounds silly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨booming⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just realized: if the classic boomer meme is “wife bad” stuff, does that mean only the boomer men are making memes? Or is there a whole genre of “husband bad” memes made by the boomer women that are flying under the radar?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love authoritarians yum yum⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It also includes idiots who survive but permanently render themselves unable to reproduce, but I don’t see that counting here either as I think you get disqualified for harming others, so stupidly getting your kid killed wouldn’t count.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨be gay, do crimes (in space)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To my understanding, she wasn’t determined to have actually committed it, just was accused

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ay, chihuahua!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not really a dog person, more a fan of cats and reptiles, but I remember being very attached to an old Chihuahua my family had for awhile. Never did get the hate for them, my experience with them has been that they can be very cuddly and a good size to come sit in your lap while watching tv or something. Never noticed the one I had to be particularly mean, though she was pretty old when we got her so maybe she just didn’t have the energy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Based and Red Pilled Gigachad, many such cases 😔⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, everyone’s views are shaped by propaganda of some kind, it’s quite literally unavoidable if you exist within any society. Lots of people like to think that their ideas are just the product of their own independent thinking, but that isn’t really how people work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or does this look more appetizing than a watermelon?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda looks like a kiwi tbh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fools, the lot of ya'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What happens if Simon says to disobey Simon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨breakfast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just not good at room temperature, it’s decent enough if it’s a fair bit warmer than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨choice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically any human was already capable of doing that, the pill doesn’t say that it’s necessarily something you can just instantly do at a distance with your mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The time has come! ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s the point, I think it’s the kind of surrealist meme where you present some random thing in a way that it looks like it could be a reference to something but really isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, any technology can be stupid if it is utilized stupidly, which I would think taking over someone’s keyboard while they’re tping would qualify as. But why would a company deploying a technology in a stupid manner mean that someone else’s research into a different but related technology is guaranteed to produce equally poor results?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the “allow non verbal people to speak” thing has some merit though. Not LLMs per se, but the types of machine learning used by people trying to develop ways to decode the brainwaves of people to allow them to talk while physically unable are usually lumped in the general category of “AI” from what I’ve seen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s a wiki article about the topic, because it would be a bit much to list it all out in a lemmy comment: en.wikipedia.org/…/Nativism_in_United_States_poli…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it would be a better look⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  flip him upside down?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨production line⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’d get real embarrassing if that bread is supposed to later go through a slicing machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The devil made me do it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing holding me back from having way too many deviled eggs, is being too lazy and impatient to prepare all the deviled eggs Id want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is. Just accept it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are traditional foods for labor day? I legit just thought the labor day tradition was “not working” lol.
