- Comment on Google might replace the ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ button with AI Mode 21 hours ago:
Having two buttons probably looks nicer so I guess it was decorative.
- Comment on Bill Gates to give away 99% of his wealth in the next 20 years 3 days ago:
People should just call his bluff and ask if he would support a big estate tax.
He literally has the financial resources to lobby congress to make it happen.
I honestly don’t understand why self made billionaires wouldn’t do that, it’s not like their kids are gonna be poor, they will still be rich, just not oligarchs level (which they probably would suck at anyway given how they don’t have proper experience).
- Comment on China has introduced a drone that flies like a bird. The new invention could turn the drone industry upside down 3 days ago:
Is there like a law of the Internet that says even the dumbest conspiracy theories will eventually come true? If so I want to know the name given how it keeps happening.
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 4 days ago:
Some of my shenanigans definitely involved breaking electronics
- Comment on O no 4 days ago:
I can’t tell if his name was misspelled or not
- Comment on wait until you see the bbc 6 days ago:
Both studying something for the sake of studying and finding sex embarrassing is a very human thing. Animals don’t care, and would probably find it weird that we care so much about watching them having sex while being embarrassed by it.
- Comment on The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared. 2 weeks ago:
Ding dong the orange is dead
- Comment on Poop Drones Are Keeping Sewers Running So Humans Don't Have to 2 weeks ago:
This is honestly such an uplifting news that gives me hope for the future.
Prefer this over stories like a 10 year old that raised money to make up for lack of health care or some dystopian thing like that.
- Comment on Philosophy moment 2 weeks ago:
Could they not turn the classroom into some kind of faraday cage, in which no signals can go in or out thus allowing phones but no Internet?
- Comment on ‘You Can’t Lick a Badger Twice’: Google Failures Highlight a Fundamental AI Flaw 2 weeks ago:
The saying “better a donkey than an ass” plays on the dual meaning of the word “ass.” It suggests that being called a donkey is less offensive than being called an ass, which can be used as an insult meaning stupid or foolish. The phrase highlights the contrast between the animal donkey, often seen as a hardworking and steady companion, and the derogatory use of “ass” in everyday language.
Yep, it does work
- Comment on Satire, I think 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, the world would be far better if he was pope instead of president
- Comment on The US government is coming for Google and Meta – but what will happen next? 3 weeks ago:
Nice of them to pretend like they aren’t gonna do a 180 on the whole Biden anti trust stuff.
- Comment on China's latest flying car prototype showcases a breakthrough in urban air mobility, offering a glimpse into how low-altitude flight could soon integrate with everyday transport. 3 weeks ago:
I still don’t understand how helicopters are not flying cars.
If you want everyone to have a flying car, we should talk about everyone having a helicopter first so we can quickly come to the conclusion of why that’s a bad idea.
- Comment on Unlike in movies, most smart people aren't good in chess. 3 weeks ago:
I also think it’s a generational thing.
Back then, since chess was associated with intelligence, a lot of academic types tried to play it and get good at it.
I would say once we had computers, there was another much more practical thing you could get good at.
But seriously, chess sets used to be part of the house decor.
- Comment on If all the money in the world can only make you look as good as elon musk or jeff bezos there is truly some things money can't buy. 3 weeks ago:
I guess yeah but I see him as closer to Hitler and Hitler famously did like dogs
- Comment on If all the money in the world can only make you look as good as elon musk or jeff bezos there is truly some things money can't buy. 3 weeks ago:
That doesn’t make me jealous.
The fact that we have bred a specious to be happy and bring us happiness imo like our best accomplishment.
Also, I can’t think of a single billionaire who is a bit dog person.

Idk man, I bet there are a lot of people in the 10-50 million range that are far happier than oligarchs
- Comment on A bit of salt makes it taste more savory 3 weeks ago:
Man, I wish I had that much social confidence instead of feeling bad while I kept replying.
- Comment on FCC head Brendan Carr tells Europe to get on board with Starlink 4 weeks ago:
I can’t think of a better example of the need to “seize the means of production” than the starlink network.
Seriously, space is not within any country’s borders, how can one have private property up there?
- Comment on The unfortunate thing about twins is that they might fight over which one was not planned. 4 weeks ago:
Trick question, they were both not planned since the plan was to have 1
- Comment on OpenAI is reportedly developing its own X-like social media platform | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
They ran out of data huh?
- Comment on A vest. BUT WITH SLEEVES. 4 weeks ago:
Is this shower thought about what to wear after said shower?
- Comment on Do it 4 weeks ago:
Smooth criminal in my ass.
Oh no!
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 4 weeks ago:
the higher the number the more engaging the post is. Or in other words how many people were pissed off enough to comment
Omg, I’m so glad there isn’t any entity trying to boost this KPI like it’s the only thing that matters in the world.
- Comment on Bluesky’s latest update adds chat reactions and an Explore page, similar to X 4 weeks ago:
The main good thing about blue sky is that it kind of taught people that jumping ship is always an option.
Which is a good lesson overall.
- Comment on Digital media – a threat to democracy? The evidence is piling up. 4 weeks ago:
It’s not the technology, it’s the businesses interests behind such technology.
We live in a time of robber barons and these are just their tools
- Comment on PC's for millenials (and Gen Z somewhat) is the same thing as cars to boomers 4 weeks ago:
Which goes to show you the economic divide.
PCs are a fraction of the cost, little wear and tear, no maintenance cost, no insurance nor storage costs, and no need to be licensed.
I honestly think it’s just that we are more poor than the boomers.
Gen Z are into social media most, it’s cause it’s cheaper than buying electronics and building PCs, all you need is 1 smart phone.
I bet gen alpha would be into minimalism given the trend.
- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 4 weeks ago:
Romans have entered the chat
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 5 weeks ago:
Cause no one is stopping you from going to said instance and just having the discussion there.
If there was this super important leak that needed to be out there, if it’s posted on a right wing instance that is a defederated ghost town, it’s still out there. People can link to it and leverage the instance to have the needed discussions.
Censorship means removing access, defederation does not wipe it off of the Internet.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 5 weeks ago:
So they shutdown because they couldn’t federate with any other instances and considered that censorship
Damn, I actually didn’t see that coming, I guess they will move the goal post from any starting point.
