• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You DID feel dumber than what you are feeling right now, there's no "I've never felt dumber in my entire life." .⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been dumber, but that was when I felt smarter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it called independence Day tomorrow? Shouldn't it be undependents day? At any rate we screwed it up.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What I don’t get is why you guys drink and let off fireworks like you have healthcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The user experience. The Windows user experience just gets worse and worse while Linux gets better and better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who discovered/"invented" fire?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone flammable, I bet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there really anything stopping an evil government from just poisoning the water supply to commit a massacre/genocide/ethnic-clensing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How many people go days without drinking tap water?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It used to be just weird Christians, but now everyone's pretty much on board with burning Harry Potter books.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s not like the books changed. Just the people reading them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The sound of seagulls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the ratio.

  People will swim in the sea, even though it has corpses in it. They won’t swim in a swimming pool if it has corpses in it. It’s the corpse/water ratio that makes the difference. In your case it looks like a seagull/seaside-proximity ratio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If every minority group came together under the same banner they would be the majority, and rights would be much easier to attain for everyone.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, I just realised that if Brownian motion carries all the water molecules away together, I won’t need a towel after my shower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rise of AI in everything is creating an imbalance, thus we need more IA to restore harmony.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But is IA a real thing, or just an implicit bias towards dualistic thinking? What if not everything has its opposite?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If every minority group came together under the same banner they would be the majority, and rights would be much easier to attain for everyone.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting every group to do one thing together is harder than you think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you could set off a nuke by jarring it, parts of America wouldn’t be there today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Probably would be better off with alien or lizard overlords⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re a gentleman, two nothings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Probably would be better off with alien or lizard overlords⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point I’d settle for any overlord that has a realistic plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It used to be that when most countries were or in trouble or needed help they would go to the US for help. My question is who does the US go to for help if or when needed?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the next administration to reside in office

  Unless the US’ current trajectory changes sharply, I don’t think there are going to be any more elections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It used to be that when most countries were or in trouble or needed help they would go to the US for help. My question is who does the US go to for help if or when needed?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And what exactly would we do to help? Invade? Arrest your leaders? Station peacekeepers inside your borders?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder how the owner of the dog in the Dodge meme feels about someone using their dead dog as a shody government initiative⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably a bit like Dr Frankenstein, watching his monster lurch down the hill towards the village.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If youre bi do you have to prove it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you going to do to prove it? Take a blood test?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not only do we humans have a common ancestor with primates still living in trees, we have a common ancestor with the trees.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And tardigrades, just to give you the warm fuzzies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also:

  The easiest way to remove hairs from bathroom surfaces is with a slightly damp paper towel or microfibre cloth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When cleaning surfaces:

  1. Wipe down once with a damp sponge/cloth. This removes loose dirt and softens the hardened stuff.

  2. Spray with a surfactant.

  3. Wait five minutes to give it time to work.

  4. Wipe again to remove remaining dirt.

  If there’s something you can’t get off, use a harsher cleaner like Barkeeper’s Friend. Wear gloves when using that. I can’t unlock my phone with my thumbprint anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy.zip sucks and the moderators are snowflakes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People who complain about snowflakes are snowflakes.

  …I don’t know what that makes me, for pointing out that people who complain about snowflakes are snowflakes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really doom scrolling if it's just true?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it draining your will to live? Then it’s doom scrolling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google used to show ads I didn't mind. Now Google is THE reason I use adblockers.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Once upon a time people would have thought it was crazy to try controlling how someone interacts with your content on the internet.

  I don’t remember anyone asking if we were okay with changing that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Friends don’t make friends read fanfiction!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are you here and not on Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because Reddit is run by a psycho who looks forward to owning slaves after the downfall of civilisation.

  Because Reddit locked out third party apps and when asked for an explanation, their first instinct was to lie.

  Because Reddit disguises its adverts as user posts.

  Because Reddit is overrun with fake user accounts trying to control discourse on the internet.

  Because Reddit’s real users will post Among Us jokes in threads about school shootings to farm karma.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't people like Melon Tusk get tired of the shit they gave you pull through literally every day ? I mean doesn't the guilt of bad decisions pull them down enough like the rest of us ?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Elon’s a big believer in Ethical Altruism - the idea that any action you take is ethical as long as it improves life for someone. In his case ‘someone’ is future generations, ie. people who can’t tell him his actions on their behalf are wrong, because they don’t exist yet. It works as long as you don’t think about it too hard, which he doesn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure I recognise that cadence. Is that iambic pentameter? (Being the only one I can name.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why were you up so long?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have been in a prison of bone for your entire life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I happen to like these bones! I grew them myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Local companies are out-competing the multinational on price, quality and local knowledge. Isn’t this the free market working as designed?
