- Comment on Artichokes got their names bc the first person to try one choked on the choke 1 day ago:
From Wikipedia:
The English word artichoke was borrowed in the sixteenth century from the northern Italian word articiocco (the standard modern Italian being carciofo). The Italian term was itself borrowed either from Spanish alcarchofa (today usually alcachofa) or directly from the source of the Spanish word—medieval Andalusi Arabic الخرشوفة (al-kharshūfa, including the Arabic definite article al). The Arabic form kharshūfa is still used in Maghrebi Arabic today, while other variants in Arabic include kharshafa, and Modern Standard Arabic khurshūfa. These Arabic forms themselves derive from classical Arabic حرشفة (harshafa) singular word of the plural حراشف (ḥarashef) meaning “scale”. Other languages which derive their word for the artichoke from Arabic include Israeli Hebrew, which has the word חֻרְשָׁף (khursháf). The original Hebrew name (see Hebrew: he:ארטישוק) is קינרס kinars, which is found in the Mishna.

- Comment on Should artist be allowed to use AI vocals if producers don't play actually Instruments? 2 weeks ago:
Any song fully created by AI should be required to be labeled as such. Like in the writing credits it should say “all instruments and vocals created by AI, no actual artists were involved in any part of its production”
It should also be noted in the songs title so no one listens to it by accident
A song fully created by AI has no artistic merit and exists solely to generate income for someone with no actual musical ability.

- Comment on Reddit adds new tools, including Post Insights and Rules Check, which lets users see if what they are posting potentially goes against a subreddit's rules and will suggest communities for your post. 4 weeks ago:
This sounds like just another way for Reddit’s corporate overlords to control the flow of information disguised as a helpful tool.
I’m so glad I left that disgusting cesspool

- Comment on Why is lying on the floor more entertaining than lying on a bed? 4 weeks ago:
Is laying in the middle of a kitchen floor really entertaining though? It’s certainly unexpected I guess but it’s not blowing my mind or anything
- Comment on Why is lying on the floor more entertaining than lying on a bed? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know that it is. I suppose it would depend on which part of the floor you’re talking about?

This seems like it would fit better in the unpopular opinions community.

That’s awesome! I’m glad it worked! I should look into some vintage controllers right now I’m playing everything on a retropie with a PS4 controller and it’s just not the same lol
- Comment on How to repair unresponsive Mega Drive/Genesis d-pad? 1 month ago:
I’ve never tried this personally, but I’ve seen a lot of articles and videos where they say the conductive coating under the buttons can wear out and cause them to become unresponsive and they were able to fix it by applying some graphite dry lubricant
Again though, I’ve never tried it myself so you may want to do your own research first
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 1 month ago:
Nothing. Everyone I know is very mad about it. The people who aren’t mad about it aren’t mad because they’re being lied to and told that all their racism, homophobia, xenophobia and just plain mean spiritedness is somehow normal and good.
I assure you that anyone who isn’t a monster is very unhappy about the whole situation
