Isn’t that the guy who copied a smaller creator’s comic and then photoshopped fake evidence that he had created it first?

- Comment on Is there a parenthesis gesture like there are air quotes? 1 month ago:
It’s a bit theatrical, but the closest thing feels like cupping a hand to the side of your mouth like you’re saying something sotto voce. It only really works if you have a reason to downplay what you’re saying rather than just any random aside though.

Fuck off with this shit. Normalizing political violence of any kind is not okay. It’s all fun and games until they start shooting at the people you support, and that’s a ratchet that tends to go only one way.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 6 months ago:
The cynical answer is that it panders to people who are fans of [X] by showing someone younger, cooler, and/or hotter reacting positively to [X]. Imagine every time you’ve tried to share your favorite song or movie with a friend or crush and gotten total disinterest – now you can have dozens of people reacting with awe, laughter, and tears on demand!

Relative to the speed shown in the visualizations. The pop-sci animations look like it takes one step every second or so, while in reality they do hundreds per second.
- Comment on Kinesi Protein 10 months ago:
How is it more accurate? I thought that in reality the “steps” are incredibly fast, but that makes it seem like it’s a much slower and more uncertain process.

Yeah, this post shows a tragic lack of familiarity with the concept of zoomies.

- Comment on Juneteenth 1 year ago:
It’s also relatively new as a federal holiday, only added in 2021. Before that it was largely officially observed only in Texas and a handful of cities.

Katamari Damacy. It has a reputation for being silly Japanese nonsense, but the gameplay is brilliant, the graphics are timeless, the soundtrack is incredible, and it has some surprising thematic depth.

I think I read that brains like these are basically normal in terms of structure and number of neurons, just compressed by the extra fluid pressure.
- Comment on When a country is ruled by a dictator, does it matter which party he belongs to? 1 year ago:
It’s actually pretty rare for dictatorships to have only one legal party. Even North Korea is nominally a multi-party state. Such minor parties are just token controlled opposition ofc, but they serve to give a flimsy “democratic” veneer.
America’s trajectory rn is aiming closer to the illiberal/managed democracy of Hungary under Viktor Orban, where there are true opposition parties with an actual chance at winning, but the media, government, and electoral system is strongly biased against them.

- Comment on Dragonsweeper: A nicely challenging Minesweeper/roguelike combo 1 year ago:
Annoyingly, it initially seemed to work well on my iPad (only lacking right-click support, which upped the difficulty nicely), but now it only shows the multicolored loading screen forever. Not a cookie thing either, since it does the same thing in a private tab.
- Comment on What is the best post sort for Lemmy? 1 year ago:
I just wish it would prioritize the top from the last 6 hours while showing older stuff below. Because slower communities feel dead when you visit and see no posts (even if there was one seven hours ago).

- Comment on Anon has a unique origin story 1 year ago:
Reminds me of this really interesting video on the Mississippi Delta Chinese community – folks who are entirely of Chinese descent but who have thick Southern drawls and names like Gilroy, and still feel like outsiders despite living there their whole lives.
- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 1 year ago:
I see this claim so much, and it’s bullshit. Harris didn’t make a single policy concession to get Cheney on board. And why would she? The entire point of having her endorse was to send the message of “Trump is so dangerous that even people who disagree with me are choosing to support me.”
- Comment on Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor? 1 year ago:
Maybe, but you definitely see more niche flavors like pistachio, coffee, mango, pineapple-coconut, rum raisin, etc. Hard to believe apple would be less popular, unless it’s more expensive to make for some reason.
- Comment on Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor? 1 year ago:
Southeastern US. This is my first time seeing apple-anything ice cream on the shelves, from major national brands at least.
- Comment on Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor? 1 year ago:
This particular one is apple pie, but the ice cream itself (minus the pie crust chunks) would be great on its own.

- Comment on In honor of the start spooky season (yay!), I have a question about an apparently beloved spooky meme/skit. What about "David S. Pumpkins" is so funny? 1 year ago:
It’s a well-constructed skit – unabashedly silly, with just the right amount of ironic detachment. I love how after Pumpkins shows up, the couple just coolly analyzes the regular monsters that were making them scream moments before. The music is ridiculous, Tom Hanks demeanor is ridiculous, the dancing is ridiculous (with a dash of sexual weirness at the end). And it comes full circle with him genuinely scaring them in the end.
I do think that them doing sequels and trying to spin a mini-franchise out of it was stupid though.
