What about “didn’t use a cart in the first place”, or “brought own cart”?

Virtually nothing in politics or economics is ever permanent.

I have been known to not get humor, I thought the joke was in sharing someone else documenting a stupid decision of theirs unwittingly, and therefore if it was itself fake it wouldn’t have the same impact

Would a wild (I think coyote?) even let someone wash it? I suspect maybe a tame one that someone used a picture of to make a funny story.

What happens if you put the cursed forbidden knowledge book through a photocopier and just read the copies rather than the original I wonder

Imagine how grand and rewarding a task it would be for us to reach out and grab more than a few grains of that desert.

What if I’m saying names out of order, and say my last now but will say the beginning or other entries on the list later?
- Comment on Perpetual motion eludes us again. 5 days ago:
That’s not how a railgun works, that’s how a coilgun works. Railguns create a loop of electric current that flows into one wire, through the projectile into the other wire, and back down to the starting point again, this configuration creates a force that pushes the projectile down the rails

Sure, but a crop merely being bioengineered does not imply that that specific tweak has been made

Why? Tweaking the genes of something doesnt magically make it dangerous

Those look like common house geckos, I don’t think that species hurts anything people care about and they catch bugs anyway.

I bet stereotypical pirates would love orange juice, if they could get their hooks on any.

- Comment on Lemmy devouring the artist 1 week ago:
I’ve heard the name but don’t know what it is, other than that I think it’s something fermented?
- Comment on Lemmy devouring the artist 1 week ago:
Either he’s vomiting beans into that can or those beans have been congealed into a single semisolid mass that sticks together.

Doc Hopper’s ice cream business looks even more dubious than his restaurant.
- Comment on Entirely too many questions about Mastodon. So sorry. 2 weeks ago:
It’s not laid out like Lemmy is, because Lemmy is basically the fediverse version of Reddit, while Mastodon is more the fediverse version of Twitter. I’m not very good at using that format myself so I can’t offer much advice, but from what I’ve seen, what your feed is like depends a lot on what instance you join, to a much larger extent than on Lemmy (it’s a much bigger userbase than lemmy as well to my knowledge). I dont know of any equivalent to communities per se, you have to join an instance that is good for the kinds of things you’re looking for, and follow users that post or interact with that content. I think a favorite is more like a like, and reblogging is more like reposting for one’s followers and imstance to see too.
- Comment on America last night 2 weeks ago:
That’s not how these things work, if anything, the more serious an event is, the more that thing is going to be what people make jokes and memes about, to dampen the stress of the situation if nothing else. I’m not sure there’s actually such a thing as an event so serious that nobody makes jokes about it.
- Comment on So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance... 2 weeks ago:
I mean, I dont see how it isnt a war already, this kind of thing is an act of war after all, and the other side doesnt have to be capable of equal retaliation for the term to apply.

I don’t really even have an age range I guess, I’ve never met anyone I was interested in dating.

I know albatross are big, but I can’t stop seeing it as an abnormally small man petting an abnormally well-behaved seagull.

Is there a context for “sociopath”? like, would a person that actually had that mental condition be disallowed from commenting, or was it saying that you had called someone else a sociopath and that isnt allowed?

I swear every time I play that game, half my army ends up being pawns, the weakest piece.
- Comment on Kinda fucked up tbh 5 weeks ago:
Unless you define “on earth” to be "below the Kármán line. The Earth’s atmosphere is probably to be considered part of the planet, else gas planet like Jupiter get difficult to talk about consistently. Atmospheres don’t have a proper “cutoff”, they just get thinner and thinner until they gradually become insignificant, so some cutoff is going to have to be arbitrarily defined to make the distinction useful.

They dont work, because not lie detectors at all. To my understanding they’re basically just a tech-assisted version of trying to tell if someone is lying by trying to watch their emotional reaction. They might be able to tell you if someone is stressed, under the notion that someone lying will be more stressed than when telling the truth from the effort and worry of being caught, but that isn’t really true necessarily.

My countertop dishwasher has a window. Not much to see tbh, it’s interesting to watch what it does the first time and then it gets old.

I sometimes wonder if really serious reptile hobbyists, the kind that’ll have like a whole room full of terrariums, have to deal with suspicious cops. Reptiles like warmth, heat mats and lamps take power, one of the most popular brands for heat mat thermostats is technically meant for controlling indoor plant heating, and if they want to grow live plants in any of their animals habitats they might need grow lights too.
