  If you would have been controlled by Ratatouille, what happens when you cut your hairs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨to hell I say⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I counted undiscovered jelly fish, what of it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charlie Kirk killing invoked to bolster UK’s largest far-right rally in decades⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spotted lots of people wrapping in Union Jack and St George’s in London today. Who would have guessed after fighting a world war, they got peaceful evolutionized by the Nazis?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's put ice in the wine and chocolate in the hummus⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Office meme of gabagoo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I could use some serious advice as to whether or not to do this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  End with “see you next time”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PARTY TIME⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Some plastic bins are acid resistant. I only learned this from Walter White.

  That’s not enough dough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Steam Did Not Respond To Us": Collective Shout Defends Calling On Payment Processors To Ban Adult Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How to defeat collective shout? A collective even louder shout.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's the truth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For those who don’t know, it’s Lao Gan Ma, a chilli oil brand well-known in China and more and more so in other countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UwU brat mathematician behavior⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think rather d/dx is the operator. You apply it to an expression to bind free occurrences of x in that expression. For example, dx²/dx is best understood as d/dx (x²). The notation would be clear if you implement calculus in a program.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3113: Fix This Sign⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually they pay graphic designers to extort others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The BBC report cited mainly focused on the marketing industry, with the fixing mistake people being the copywriters. This gives a strong vibe of Madman, where you have the “old-fashioned” copywriters and the tension between market research.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China New Internet ID System a Threat to Online Expression: Netizens will require IDs to go on the internet. For now this is voluntary, but there are signs it will not remain that way for long.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aktually, for most Internet services in China today, one already needs a phone number to create an account, which is linked back to the national ID. So, there isn’t any anonymity to begin with.

  stonk man but with finans

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a good question⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Referenced by my favorite Philip K Dick novel VALIS, the symbol of early Christianity: Fish cannot carry guns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you can just simply slapping your face. It has a similar sound effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hit it and quit it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s all right. Deep down, we are all animals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hit it and quit it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of animals unironically do this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK to ban sale of disposable vapes in response to soaring waste and safety risks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rishi Sunak and now Labour are trying to phase out smoking and vaping completely. Anyone born after 1 January 2009 cannot be legally sold cigarettes. It was in the Labour’s platform during the past general election. Also see this BBC report.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That was my first reaction. I didn’t find the global average spending number reported by the OP, but according to this page, the 2019 average spending of $15,500 per student (38% higher than OECD average) did consider purchasing power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We gonna fight⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are inherently more ways to imagine changes than to point at the status quo.

  Try something other than amex cards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Massive’ increase in pensioner shoplifters in past year⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Folklore says steaks can easily be converted to cash and that’s why they are more heavily guarded. Not so sure about caviar though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peepee poopoo⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First order of business, let’s talk about the peepee poopoo incident.

  aktually, she’s not alien, but human.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel Becomes Potential Takeover Target Of Broadcom, TSMC: Reports⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably just investor activists floating the idea to test the water. They’ve been wanting to sell Intel for parts since the bad quarter and Pat (former CEO) being evicted is part of this plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta warns that it will fire leakers in leaked memo⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A meta-joke, I see.
