Yeah but like what if the ramp went past the exosphere? Drive that rocketship up at 1mph for 100 days and you’ll be in space!
- Comment on Robot eyes are power hungry. What if we gave them tools inspired by the human brain? 6 days ago:

The same source taught me that cops are good and if that’s true, impromptu gambling must be common
- Comment on Resurrecting a dead torrent tracker and finding 3 million peers 1 week ago:
The whole point of the blockchain is it for it to be traceable, though. There’s only the illusion of anonymity with crypto
- Comment on Resurrecting a dead torrent tracker and finding 3 million peers 1 week ago:
What reason are you referring to?
- Comment on How do some fragance reppel bugs 1 week ago:
It makes you smell like something poisonous

I know there’s a lot of Steam haters out there but simple shit like this is why they’re on top.

If your Nazi landlord put up a sign in the front yard that says “THIS RENTER GIVES MONEY TO NAZIS,” you’d probably want to end your lease, too

I love Nebula. I go there to watch Nebula Exclusives but it’s not great for browsing or discovering new channels…I found everyone I subscribe to on YouTube first
- Comment on Zelensky slams Russia after three generations killed in drone strike 3 weeks ago:
Ukraine: planning for over a year for a precision strike on the invaders military. No casualties, pure destruction of weapons of war.

I hope Ukraine’s got another operation lined up for the Kremlin
- Comment on BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered 4 weeks ago:
There is no reliable evidence to suggest Mr. Mangione killed anyone.
I’m so sick of everyone making me repeat myself with this:
Luigi was.
With me.
The morning.
Of the murder.
He physically could not have committed the crime from another location. We were setting up for our friend’s dad’s birthday party and he was busy getting the balloons ready.
Not guilty.

Silly little questions as in common sense stuff. “How often do I really need to wash a hoodie?”
- Comment on How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? 4 weeks ago:
I was subscribed to it the first week it existed so I know that your story is completely fabricated. The origin is even in the subreddit wiki…
/r/NoStupidQuestions was founded in February 2013 for people to feel free to ask the questions they might be embarrassed or ashamed to ask elsewhere. Inspired by this thread and specifically this comment
- Comment on How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? 4 weeks ago:
I appreciate the troll. It’s always bugged me that this community took the name from reddit without the actual theme. This place should be for “common sense” questions you feel stupid having to ask but instead it’s mostly been ELI5, asklemmy, and a variety of loaded questions.
- Comment on How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? 4 weeks ago:
This is gonna turn into a dumb shitpost community, isn’t it?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
This reminds me of that Tumblr post about how the left is so focused on “never being wrong” and how the in-fighting about the most irrelevant shit holds us back
- Comment on The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no 5 weeks ago:
I think about half of them are pretty awful. And painting aside, I wouldn’t have recognized Gale (guy with the beard) if not for the context
- Comment on FBI opens inquiry into 764, online group that sexually exploits and encourages minors to self-harm 1 month ago:
They’re investigating the group to see if they can pick up any sweet grooming protips
- Comment on The Enshitification of Youtube’s Full Album Playlists 1 month ago:
It usually takes a couple of “tracks” to notice but the thing that usually makes it obvious to me is how homogenous it all is. AI can’t make a good hook or a catchy tune, it just approximates song structure and spits out a boring average
My stored collection is mostly FLAC, ain’t no way I’m archiving youtube-quality audio lol
Plus half the appeal of using YouTube is discovering new artists! I listen to 5-10 new (to me) albums a week.
- Comment on The Enshitification of Youtube’s Full Album Playlists 1 month ago:
I use YouTube for music 8+ hours a day at work (usually full albums) and it was extremely obnoxious when it started happening.
The way around this for 95% of published albums is to not use user-created playlists. When you search for an album, YouTube usually shows it to you on the right side of the results. Click that instead.
A much bigger (imo) problem is the prevalence of AI albums. I hate when they auto play.

Business Corp Acquires Service Company
- Comment on Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range 1 month ago:
Now that’s dedication. I’d probably have driven myself into a ditch by the 3rd month of that (but I haaaate driving)

How good was that job for you to be commuting for 4+ hours a day?

If openai kept buying reddit data after 2022, they are idiots. They let the cat out of the bag.
