Stated a fact. Sounds like you the one with the hurt feels. OTOH, seems you’re dumb enough to believe Indonesia has 600 sets of distinct DNA. Did you even reply to the right comment?!
- Comment on Wild kangaroo harvests are labelled ‘needlessly cruel’ by US lawmakers – but backed by Australian conservationists 12 hours ago:
Florida’s one example.
- Comment on He pioneered the cellphone. It changed how people around the world talk to each other — and don’t 12 hours ago:
For almost everyone, the straight-up phone call has become an intrusion.
I feel like everyone, in America anyway, has forgotten that telemarketers weren’t allowed to call cell phones.
- Comment on Seriously, you're probably dehydrated 14 hours ago:
This kinda thing flabbergasts me. Who the hell needs to be reminded to drink?!
- Comment on How would I repurpose a work laptop? 2 days ago:
If OP got his last paycheck, done deal. Yes, he surely signed for it, but no laptop is worth the legal cost of a lawsuit.
SOURCE: Issued hundreds of laptops, of all varieties and prices, for multiple companies.
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 2 days ago:
This is not happening in the wider world, not on any appreciable scale. Here comes lemmy:
“NOAW! People ARE switching in DROVES!”
LOL, the vast majority of people can’t spell Linux.
- Comment on Having booze in your TV is a must 2 days ago:
Used the total power of a modern household, but you could FIX it! Dad and I took a few trips to the grocery store to test and buy new tubes. If dad couldn’t hack it, call the repair guy. Imagine it being cheaper to have a man come to your house a few times than to buy a new TV.

LOL, I heard that gif. Timed it in my mind, on the money OP.

Looks like white Wombat poop.
- Comment on Cold water was probably less refreshing for early humans due to most cold water likely only being available during colder weather. 2 days ago:
Even in Florida, even in tiny lakes and swamps, the water is plenty cool under the top 2’.

Lies! That gif is sped up 2000%!
- Comment on Look out its the D*tch 2 days ago:
5’9" is average for an American male, a mere 3" shy of 6’. Plus, this graph is not only false, the scale is laughable.

Ethnicity: the quality or fact of belonging to a population group or subgroup made up of people who share a common cultural background or descent.
That doesn’t mean they have 600 genetic lineages.

Apparently I’m African. Had no clue!
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 3 days ago:
My shotgun’s flag is nailed upside down.
- Comment on Attorney General: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools 3 days ago:
Took the Great Depression to do that. May well happen again.
- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 3 days ago:
Society hasn’t become that bad. It’s becoming that bad again, and almost none of us are used to it.
- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 3 days ago:
Been dumped by three women, the day after they saw me cry. Good news! My wife is fine with it, as rare as crying is, and comforts me. But y’all women don’t have a good track record in my book.
- Comment on Nothing has helped me learn to trust my instincts more than trying to plug in hundreds of USB devices over the years 3 days ago:
“The enemy’s gate is always down.”
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 3 days ago:
A 99-1 vote to drop the anti AI regulation is hardly the government voting against. The Senate smashed that shit hard and fast.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
ChatGPT is astonishingly good at answering questions, but if you continue to drill into a given conversation, 3-4, sometimes only 2 levels deep, and it’s off the rails.
- Comment on Who discovered/"invented" fire? 4 days ago:
That last question is the most interesting to me. I guess it doesn’t take much intuition to realize that rubbing things together makes them hot. Rub your arm really fast.
Still, watching experienced woodsmen starting a fire from scratch is an education. Even the best struggle.
- Comment on Dead OS Walking: 30 Days on Windows XP in 2025 Day 5: What Happens Now — fireborn 4 days ago:
I did worse, resurrected a 1999 industrial 486SX on Win98B. It was fun as hell trying to figure it all out again, and most references are gone from the early web. Which reminds me, time to get that 10-BaseT NIC working!
- Comment on Shark Week 2025 4 days ago:
Pulled that shit on my daughter with an RC shark fin at our camp. LOL, she was tripping.
- Comment on Powell confirms that the Fed would have cut by now were it not for tariffs 4 days ago:
Anyone else would have long been fired by Trump for speaking against his agenda. Powell is fairly bulletproof as Trump’s advisors are likely holding him back by explaining, as in ELI5 explaining, that firing Powell would shock financial markets and Trump would get the blame.
I SO love Trump’s tweets seething over this motherfucker.
- Comment on They did give a swag 4 days ago:
I don’t get this at all. Are they hoping monkey pox kill most of the humans?
- Comment on Uber Eats or something idk 4 days ago:
Are you seriously asking for a list of every economic downturn in history?
When prices drop, unemployment goes up, people can’t buy shit, rinse and repeat.
- Comment on ICE raids on US farms leaves crops rotting 4 days ago:
We already tried this shit in Florida, with the exact same results, had to dial it way back.
Florida: “Let’s try again on a national level!”
- Comment on [US Politics] How much can Mamdani even do as Mayor? Couldn't the NYC City Coucil just block every progressive thing he tries to do? 4 days ago:
Hadn’t thought of that, but just checked and NYC is 42% of the state’s population. I would think state politicians crossing a popular mayor a highly risky proposition.
- Comment on Most Common PIN Codes 4 days ago:
27% of all PIN numbers
I feel personally attacked.
