- Comment on Are they still underpants if you aren't wearing pants? 20 hours ago:
I suggest establishing a formal hierarchy of *-pants, with individual terms to distinguish shape, purpose and colour in conjunction with effective and/or absolute layer. And you should be the one to do it, because I don’t have time for that.
- Comment on AI Youtube Videos are like going to the garbage and remixing everything so it's shiny and new. 2 days ago:
I’m sure they plan to make even more money later on when AI is no longer a free service.
- Comment on Some of my failed showerthoughts 2 weeks ago:
It’s not hard to verify at all. Just face the camera and speak the thought aloud.
- Comment on Why aren't people harassing marketers? 2 weeks ago:
One thing I’ve noticed is that boomers think that if you disagree with them, it means you must be younger than them and therefore wrong.
If you’re older than a boomer, your arguments tend to consist of. “Speak up! Why can’t you speak up? No, I don’t need a hearing aid. I need you to speak up!”
- Comment on If God was real (just go with it), then how he's portrayed in the Bible might not even be how he actually is. 3 weeks ago:
Adam, was created male
then personally chose to identify as male,
How do you get from A to B?
- Comment on If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ? 3 weeks ago:
I think cats would have outrageously fake french accents.
- Comment on People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather? 3 weeks ago:
Like they’re unironically wholesale swallowing cultural domination.
Did you somehow get the idea that northern hemisphere countries own Christmas traditions?
- Comment on People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve seen a mall Santa. He was inside, in the air conditioning, so I think he was okay.
- Comment on How are computer chips designed? 4 weeks ago:
After this exercise I’m left wondering how are new chips designed nowadays considering that there are billions and billions of microscopic transistors in a modern chip?
You have to use one, to design one.
- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 4 weeks ago:
It’s the I’m-pointing-at-you-with-a-pen-but-I-forgot-my-pen gesture.
- Comment on How many people would a generation ship need to have for inbreeding to not be an issue? 5 weeks ago:
Duh. Why else go to space?
- Comment on How would you quickly describe Lemmy to a non-fediverse person? 5 weeks ago:
“Imagine a hydra with an infinite number of heads. Some of the heads are arguing, some have got their necks knotted, and some are french-kissing. One of them is wearing a pirate hat.”
- Comment on I've recently turned into a blocker. 1 month ago:
I block people who are dishonest or abrasive. I’m here for entertainment, not for any higher purpose. I’m not obligating to give those people any attention and I have nothing to gain by it.

What made you decide to share your lightning bolt of inspiration with us?
- Comment on Cooling stuff does not require any energy! 1 month ago:
It’s often good to have a conversation on the topic as well as the basic info.
- Comment on It would have been really funny if a video game ejected the disk if you lost too many times 1 month ago:
I don’t need that kind of disrespect from software.
- Comment on In order for superman to keep his cover as Clark Kent countless innocents he had the power to save have to die every day. 1 month ago:
Sure, why not.
- Comment on In order for superman to keep his cover as Clark Kent countless innocents he had the power to save have to die every day. 1 month ago:
Because you’re pointing out that the thing which was never intended to be internally consistent… isn’t internally consistent.

Maybe you shouldn’t apply real-world logic to superhero stories.
- Comment on "fridging" is honestly the only good motivation to become a superhero or good person 1 month ago:
An uncle, a child, a best friend, a parent, a teammate getting killed is not tragic
That’s a unique take, to say the least.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Either way, you’ve changed how I feel about eating gingerbread men.
- Comment on What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly? 2 months ago:
Well, most asteroids are agglomerations - loose rock and dust held together by gravity. Unless the aliens are supporting every part of it, on the inside as well, it’s going to rain gravel on New York. If it’s solid enough and low enough, maybe it would be worth mining?
Gravity would be slightly weaker under it, because of its own gravity, but I think the difference would be small enough that you’d need measuring equipment to see it. No moon hopping.
Weather would be different. I think there’d be more rain on the windward side, because some water-laden air would have to drop its load in order to rise over it. You’d get wind vortices on the other side of it.

Make him write in pen?
- Comment on The Rapture could have happened, but nobody would know because everyone got left behind 2 months ago:
Be the rapture you want to see in theno. Don’t do that. - Comment on What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly? 2 months ago:
Let’s suppose some fun-loving aliens lower that rock slow enough that touchdown isn’t some cataclysmic event. We now have an asteroid 60 Km across at its widest point sitting on the Earth’s surface. That surface will immediately start to experience the pressure you’d find 60 Km deep in the Earth. There are places on Earth where the solid crust extends lower than that, there are others where that’s inside the mantle.
The weight might crush the crustal plate into the mantle, in which case the effect will be very much like a supervolcano going off. Smoke, toxic gas, exploding rocks tossed hundreds of kilometres. It’ll last decades or possibly centuries. Chances are, you’ve enjoyed your last hot fudge sundae.
But maybe the crust is strong enough to support the weight - until a few hours pass and it starts to melt from pressure and heat. As it melts it compresses, sending stress through neighbouring seismic fault lines and causing earthquakes, regular-size volcanic eruptions and tsunamis across a vast area. It may not be enough to destroy the environment, but it’ll be serious enough make everyone forget about global warming as an issue.

religious zealots will start to think they weren’t good enough
Self-doubt requires a capacity for self-reflection, though. None of the zealots I know have it, even to a small degree.
- Comment on do you use non violent communication at the workplace? 2 months ago:
No. We do hasty, vague and passive-aggressive communication.
- Comment on Did this happen in any of the Addams Family Live action movies? 2 months ago:
I remember a scene like that where they were waiting for baby Pubert to wake up, but not Fester.
“He has my father’s eyes.”
“Gomez, take those out of his mouth.”

The romans, technically.

It’s a good argument against the intelligent design theory, isn’t it?
