The shadow thing refers to a North American tradition:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day
Groundhog Day is a tradition observed regionally in the United States and Canada on February 2 of every year. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, it will retreat to its den and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow, spring will arrive early.
- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 2 days ago:
The US is already feeding on the smaller sharks, and has been for decades. Look at their foreign policy in Central and South America, South East Asia, the Middle East.
The only difference is that they’ve been feasting on other nations and not the West. China and Russia don’t have those restraints. All three of them are horrible, but America hasn’t been horrible to us until just recently.

- Comment on The D.E.N.N.I.S ship 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it would be a like a frat house party. First one to fall asleep gets their face covered in Sharpie and someone dunks their balls on their forehead.
Therefore no one will want to fall asleep first and the you won’t have to worry about sleeping spaces.

- Comment on *play imagine being sung by random white celeb* 4 weeks ago:
No he wasn’t. You said that no one was doing anything. He came back to show people are. The media is trying to hide it, but it’s important to spread the word.

That’s a fucking scam.
- Comment on Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range 1 month ago:
That’s exactly what he’s been doing with all his businesses. And it works. Tesla is still hugely overvalued as a company.

- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 month ago:
You’re making the mistake in assuming that what’s popular must be the best/easiest. That’s definitely not true. People don’t pick Windows because it’s easier to use than other OSes. They pick it because that’s what they’re used to. It takes a lot of inertia to get over what people are comfortable with and get them to use something different.
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 month ago:
That already exists. Do a search on the web and follow someone’s steps. You don’t need an AI to do it. An actual intelligence has already created a guide for you.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
As long as the population increases, without making changes to the currency supply, money is going to become more scarce.
Fuck off. The richest 1% own over half the world’s wealth. That’s where the money is going, not Mrs. Johnson down the street having 3 kids.
