- Comment on Zelensky slams Russia after three generations killed in drone strike 1 day ago:
Ukraine: planning for over a year for a precision strike on the invaders military. No casualties, pure destruction of weapons of war.
Russia: hurr durr let’s hit a civilian apartment building
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 1 week 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.
- Comment on A 19-year old cis lesbian woman was beaten unconscious and robbed after she tried to use the women's restroom at a McDonald's in Carpentersville, Illinois 1 week ago:
Cisgender means “gender match (birth) genitals”

No scients teatcher would say that
- Comment on How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? 2 weeks ago:
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? 2 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? 2 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.

This is gonna turn into a dumb shitpost community, isn’t it?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 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 3 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

You’re not wrong but what does Russia have to do with anything here?
- Comment on Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range 4 weeks ago:
I hate driving so much, I moved somewhere 15 minutes from work even though I only go in like 3 times a month
- Comment on ServiceNow acquires Data.World months after snatching up Moveworks 4 weeks ago:
This looks like a fake headline you’d see in the background of a movie
Business Corp Acquires Service Company
- Comment on Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range 4 weeks ago:
Now that’s dedication. I’d probably have driven myself into a ditch by the 3rd month of that (but I haaaate driving)
- Comment on Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range 4 weeks ago:
How good was that job for you to be commuting for 4+ hours a day?
- Comment on Reddit will tighten verification to keep out human-like AI bots 4 weeks ago:
If openai kept buying reddit data after 2022, they are idiots. They let the cat out of the bag.
- Comment on Reddit will tighten verification to keep out human-like AI bots 4 weeks ago:
Bot activity brings “engagement” which generated more page views from actual humans. Literally the only downside of this announcement is the optics of having bots in the first place.
The bots were already indistinguishable from humans on reddit, do you really think that this recent scrutiny is going to lead to fewer bots? Or might it actually lead to better bots?
- Comment on Reddit will tighten verification to keep out human-like AI bots 4 weeks ago:
Is it? Reddit has been full of bots for years.
And if the r/CMV thing didn’t make it apparently, the recent wave of them weren’t “caught in the act” and only became a “problem” when the researchers announced their shitty experiment.
If realistic chat bots can fool the masses, why on earth would reddit get rid of them? It helps their metrics. “Look at how active our site is! Buy stock!”
- Comment on Reddit will tighten verification to keep out human-like AI bots 4 weeks ago:
No they won’t lol
If they didn’t do it already, it’s not gonna happen now. This is lip service to the shareholders

“someone”
RPS is the early BuzzFeed of the game industry.
- Comment on “No Apple tax means we will lower prices” - Proton announces lower prices for users by up to 30% after US ruling against Apple fees 4 weeks ago:
Or he’s just shitting on other companies who he knows are too greedy to do the same. Proton is getting positive press for this and he’s leaning into it with a bit of hyperbole
Not saying he’s a genius or anything, he’s just a spokesperson doing spokesperson things
- Comment on McDonald’s reports largest U.S. same-store sales decline since 2020 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t eaten anything but breakfast since they got rid of the cheap wraps but it’s still my go-to “treat” when I have to be somewhere early
- Comment on McDonald’s reports largest U.S. same-store sales decline since 2020 5 weeks ago:
The bacon, egg, and cheese bagel combo still rocks but it’s like $12 now. McDonald’s breakfast was about $6 here five years ago.
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong? 5 weeks ago:
Frostpunk 2 is great. I think it’s way harder than 1 but maybe that’s just because I haven’t sunk nearly the same hours in
- Comment on Temu and Shein to hike prices 1 month ago:
The other reply is correct, they get crazy cheap shipping rates by sending small things. Like every Temu package costs taxpayers money to subsidize it
- Comment on Temu and Shein to hike prices 1 month ago:
Should have accomplished it the right way by getting rid of the loophole that makes those sites so profitable instead
- Comment on $666 edition of Doom includes game box that, itself, plays Doom 1 month ago:
Limited edition stuff like this is never priced for the masses
