- Comment on Florida man 18 hours ago:
Epstein’s cow-nterpart, Jeffriesian Holstein, was found deceased alone in his solitary pen earlier. Initial reports noted the presence of feathers scattered across the scene but investigators have dismissed suggestions of fowl play as unfounded, concluding that Holstein’s death was an unfortunate case of bovine intervention.
- Comment on Dutch MPs want citizens to own the copyright to their faces 21 hours ago:
Litigious parents, take note: courts typically recognize that children are derivative works. Their appearances tend to fall under fair use, please don’t waste our time and yours trying to sue them for infringement.
- Comment on OpenAI just launched its new ChatGPT Agent that can make as many as 1 complicated cupcake order per hour, but even Sam Altman says you probably shouldn't trust it for 'high-stakes uses' 21 hours ago:
So instead of working on fixing an existing problem for anybody, they’re solving a new problem for nobody. Let them eat cupcakes, I guess.
- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 1 day ago:
These predatory industry contracts are out of control.
- Comment on Trying to figure out what it means 1 day ago:
Are we looking at the same picture? That’s clearly a sticker on a car.
- Comment on What's the equivalent of rose coloured glasses for always seeing something in a negative perspective? 1 day ago:
The correct prescription lenses.

absolute shit thing
Well, yeah, I think that’s been established.
- Comment on Best feeling 1 day ago:
That sort of trust should be rewarded with belly rubs and by finding all their hard-to-reach itchy spots.

- Comment on Elmo is on fire 3 days ago:
The account was compromised over the weekend and instead of the usual posts of encouragement and kindness, Elmo’s 650,000 followers were given antisemitic threats and a profane reference to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation.

- Comment on What do you call the first person with a new genetic mutation 3 days ago:
I propose “startling” if the mutation is enough to qualify as a new species. Sort of like the opposite of an endling and you get a fitting double meaning as a fun bonus.
- Comment on People often say "Don't talk to the police", but what if a friend, neighbor, or a loved one gets kidnapped and you want to help the victim? 4 days ago:
Lawyer.
- Comment on If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space? 4 days ago:
The smart people have done their nerdy number-wizardry and said it’s not going to work but if your huge slingshot was tall enough to reach into space, you could just put the spaceship on top and call it a day. How to get it there is an exercise for the reader.
- Comment on Fuck it, more surrealposting. 4 days ago:
Reminds me of the 3D Maze screensaver.
- Comment on Spiritual Safety Tip! 5 days ago:
I’ve got some bad news about the passage of time. You might want to sit down or firmly grip your walker for support.

More than a decade, I remember seeing it around 04 or 05.

Nothing.
- Comment on "Monotribe" would be a great name for a band or artist 1 week ago:
Could drop this in !fakebandnames@lemmy.world too.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
The shower where OP had this thought, presumably.
- Comment on I dislike it when somebody says "so" and then pauses. 1 week ago:
So?
- Comment on How can I improve this? It's my current living and bedroom. 1 week ago:
A fake one though so you don’t have to take care of it.
- Comment on It's the thing from the thing 1 week ago:
You can tell they really paid attention in history class but got the wrong message out of it.
- Comment on Those posts for little home gadgets that show up on social media, kinda like "as seen on tv" stuff but since it's tiktok/insta and other such sites, what would those be called? 1 week ago:
The term is advertisement (or “ad”).
- Comment on There are major holes in this theory 1 week ago:
Not to mention the cumulative years I’ve spent traveling the roads without a single iceberg in sight but somehow the Titanic finds one within a week of leaving port (and at night, no less)? Color me skeptical.
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 2 weeks ago:
I’ll make a nice meal and reflect on what’s driving us further from the country we’re supposed to be. Thinking of it more like memorial day until there’s something to celebrate again.
- Comment on Just keep typing, wage slaves 2 weeks ago:
It’s a cost-saving measure, suits figure the rank-and-file will start bringing in support pillars from home. Sort of like a potluck approach to structural integrity but much safer than a regular potluck.
- Comment on Hell 1 month ago:
“No.”
Crisis averted, can get back to fixing things now. The only way you’re getting me on the phone is if there’s some audio component to the problem (alarm buzzers or tones they aren’t able to identify) that isn’t easy to explain in text. Other than that, there are usually just a handful of common issues and you can tell which path we’re going down after a sentence or two of their description.

I’d watch this Red Dawn reboot.
- Comment on I am not a builder… but that does not seem right 1 month ago:
It’s okay, they’re using that special load-bearing drywall.
