Literally no one was talking about image templates until you brought them up, and the type that you’re referencing seem totally irrelevant to this conversation about words in academic paper titles.

Or hand day apparently
- Comment on 2/5 4 weeks ago:
Having just experienced the eclipse, I have to agree with this. The 5 minutes before and after totality were really nice with the dim but still pretty bright sunlight. It was trippy.
- Comment on Amazon hides cheaper items with faster delivery, lawsuit alleges 2 months ago:
I mean YMMV based on location, but I’m in a semi major city in canada and I ordered some stuff off Prime on Monday evening and it was here by yesterday afternoon. I’ve had non prime stuff come quickly too but not that quickly and the longest I think I’ve waited for something prime was 3 days.
- Comment on Google will no longer back up the Internet: Cached webpages are dead. Google Search will no longer make site backups while crawling the web. 2 months ago:
I mean sure, searches are basically useless now and the internet is filled with ai and see garbage, but most everything is also still out there /somewhere/, even if it may only be in like the archive of the NSA. Plus when ai gets a bit better certain people will probably be able to link everything you’ve ever said to your “advertising profile” (Google basically already does this). Plus I’ve been saying for years that soon enough there’ll be a facial recognition crawler app where you upload a photo of someone and it shows you every picture they’ve ever appeared in. Although with how good deep fakes are now this is arguably less concerning.

What the fuck, aren’t most buildings kept at 72? How do you exist anywhere except in a walk in fridge?
- Comment on There's no money for education and health care but they'll always find some for war. 5 months ago:
This is not worth mentioning. Everyone knows that you can sell out your values for money and comfort. Most people just aren’t willing to do it for such relatively low benefits.
- Comment on Weird, right? 5 months ago:
I mean their backyard is also pretty much the vulcans backyard. For the most part they’re exploring places the vulcans have been, or have been near. Iirc only a few places they go were totally unknown in the vulcan database.

Actually Halo was the doctor, the shooty guy is called Halo’s monster.

If you wanna grow upside down plants just use a mirror duh.
- Comment on Adobe is selling fake AI images of the Israel-Hamas war 5 months ago:
I think it’s more that the pictures being represented as real is what’s damaging though…
- Comment on He's got a point. 5 months ago:
I have noscript set to block everything I don’t whitelist and ublock origin with pretty aggressive filters already, but the icons still show up, and the button was among them, so my vision just passed over it. It’s an unmarked red button surrounded by Twitter and Facebook icons. The scripts and trackers are already blocked on my browser.

Oh cool, yeah I never would have clicked that given it’s surrounded by social media garbage, but I’m glad I learned. Thanks.

How did you find the bonus panel? I don’t see it on the page anywhere

That’s not chaotica though is it? It’s just his henchman or whatever.
- Comment on Netflix to open branded retail stores for some reason 6 months ago:
I mean the spaceships in star trek, star wars and firefly all have pretty different interiors. Of your idea is to draw in fans of specific shows you don’t really want to have a “generic sci fi” setting.

‘Wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff’ is my favorite 5 word technical sounding phrase.
- Comment on The ECH: Emergency Commando Hologram 6 months ago:
Sg1 is so good imo. It’s like lower decks is to the rest of trek. Still thought-provoking and interesting at its best, but at its worst it’s just a whole lot of cheesy fun. Voyager straight up copied some episodes from it, or at least was “heavily influenced” by episode concepts.

Better than seven of nine. Fight me.
- Comment on Study reveals some teens receive 5,000 notifications daily, most spend almost two hours on TikTok | Kids officially don't like Facebook 7 months ago:
I don’t disconnect my phone from internet because my usage is too spontaneous to always be turning it on or off. I do have my app permissions locked down though, GPS always off unless I’m using it, and nothing is allowed to run in the background except my VPN. I totally disconnect my pc from the network cable when I’m not actively downloading something though.
- Comment on One million years from now... 7 months ago:
What makes life on another planet more worthwhile than life here? Also humans didn’t take that long to evolve so there’s plenty of opportunity for a successor to us to reach the stars in a way that causes less suffering. For that matter, we could have simply taken a couple hundred extra years to get there and reduced human suffering by like a thousandfold with a more equitable society. Bloody stupid capitalist nonsense.

That’s okay, I’m sure the lemmygrad and hexbear users are embarrassed to find out you use it too.
- Comment on BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them 7 months ago:
Yeah I don’t think the headline means they hated the heated seats, but that they hated the subscription.
- Comment on Banksy Encourages Fans to Shoplift From Guess Since Company 'Helped Themselves to My Artwork Without Asking’ 8 months ago:
He stands to gain attention and notoriety, which is why he does everything he does. As does the other street artist. If you don’t think it was a publicity stunt fine, I certainly can’t prove it was, but that’s what I believe.
- Comment on Banksy Encourages Fans to Shoplift From Guess Since Company 'Helped Themselves to My Artwork Without Asking’ 8 months ago:
Yeah and the rappers that make diss tracks about each other totally hate each other too, it’s not for publicity at all, they’d really kill each other if only they had a chance. Too bad they’re too busy making millions.
- Comment on Apple, Long a Critic of Right to Repair, Comes Out in Support of California Bill 8 months ago:
How would they make it more expensive to fix yourself, except by offering repairs for an absurdly low price, like less than the cost of the components?
- Comment on Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users 8 months ago:
Connect is so good I’m surprised I don’t hear about it more.
- Comment on Who is the one movie/comic supervillian you all agree with ? 8 months ago:
None of this was what was being asked about, and you didn’t even give reasoning, this is just a list of names of people you like from a show that probably no one else here knows…
- Comment on Twitter accused of bullying anti-hate campaigners 9 months ago:
They’re trying to reach people who are still on Twitter. It’s not that hard to understand. If all the people who worked there were also posting random memes on their personal Twitter accounts you might have a point but the whole idea is to spread awareness of the shitty aspects of Twitter. People on mastodon don’t need to hear that, people trapped in the twitterverse do.
- Comment on People who haven't gotten into habit of googling stuff in the last 20 years might not get into it at all anymore because of how search engines are gamed with SEO spam tactics nowadays 9 months ago:
I used to just use Google but add reddit to the end of the search, and it’d usually pick up several relevant posts/conversations that would have the answer I wanted somewhere in the comments. I’ll still keep doing that for a while probably, but given how reddit has been going, and with people erasing their accounts, I doubt that will last long. I’m holding out hope for a good search functionality on lemmy, since reddits own search was pretty unusable.
