  No, they’re definitely obligated. Their gills are tiny and not enough for gas exchange. They need to breathe air via buccal pumping. What they mean by breathing through their skin is they release CO2 from their skin like amphibians do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder Gods⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or maybe they’re trying to describe the feeling it evokes and aren’t being that literal. In fact it’s probably that and you’re greatly overthinking it beyond someone trying to describe a deep sense of awe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a fast charger too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Further, many phones are now programmed to shut off power once the battery is full, even if it remains plugged in.”

  Quoting the article they linked for you. Since you seem to have either missed this important bit or are being pedantic. Unless your phone is 10 years old, it won’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facial disfigurement: 'Restaurant asked me to leave over condition'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well the dude is English, he’d probably apologize to the knife for being in the way and the stabber for bleeding on their shoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is martial arts really that useful?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The old addage is “nobody wins a knife fight”. Only solution is to disarm them and you are 99% going to get cut. Just gotta believe you won’t get cut bad enough to stop you from stopping them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m all for paying $80-$100 a game IF, REALLY BIG IF, LIKE REALLY FUCKING BIG IF, they’re as good or better than Baldur’s Gate 3. I like his ideas about how this has to happen if we want to eliminate predatory microtransactions, crappy “ultimate” editions, and all that shit.

  I fully suspect that we won’t see the full effect BG3 has had for a few years. Games take too long to make for that to not be the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Bears⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But what if I was out falconing with friends, had a dinner at a super bougie steak house go late, and REALLY have to get to the airport? Surely THAT makes it less insane?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Bears⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My first instinct was “small, will probably run into the nearest tree at light speed” but I did some reading and they common thought without much science behind it is that sun bear are pretty fuckin aggressive and even tho they’re small, they’d still probably fuck your shit up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it wasn’t eligible for the FIX (this is NOT an upgrade, you are entitled to them fixing this shit if it does effect you) wasn’t the right ignition system? My 2013 Elantra needed it and it seemed to be on the older end of cars who had the vulnerability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardware⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay so as someone who’s getting fed up with Windows and Microsoft as a whole, I’m interested in Linux.

  I just wanna game and watch videos. Video calls n such with friends n such. Nothing too spectacular.

  Now can someone who doesn’t work on computers for a living, or even isn’t a hobbyist programmer. Someone like me, who couldn’t write a line of code on their own, answer me how difficult would it actually be?

  My biggest fear is that I’m convinced by all the tech nerds here who can of course run this no problem and don’t see why a beginner would struggle, and then my anxiety shoots through the roof while I have a breakdown because I just wanted to get home from work and relax and suddenly my PC is a paperweight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The art critic⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably the rampant reckless driving and disregard for other people’s property.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 is around the corner, but Nintendo announces a new Switch accessory anyway⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the correct answer of why. It’s the only way it makes sense if we’re really going with “odd timing means it must have a reason” and it’s not just a Nintendo blunder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technically, almost all video games are puzzle games.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You managed to understand Stellaris?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok sues the US government over ban⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve already established that Tiktok Tok is not the CCP. That’s what the whole first “gonna ban TikTok” fiasco was over. It’s why they don’t store US data in China but continue to do business in the US.

  That would be a business using the 1st amendment right (which everyone gets, not just citizens) to free speech to use it’s platform to ask it’s users to do something directly beneficial to them. Nothing illegal about it unless you want to reevaluate that “TikTok is the CCP” claim again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy really seems to generally think that TikTok isn’t massively overall popular. Lemmy would have someone thinking it’s a niche app only being used by teenagers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First off, source? Second, the npr interview I heard mentioned specifically that China has to approve the sale because the algorithm is proprietary to a Chinese company. So anyone “buying TikTok” is buying a name and none of the actual bones of the social media platform

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your weirdest comfort habit?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, you talking about it made me realize I do this! I have a very, very short tongue, so maybe that adds to it? Do you happen to be able to rumble your ears?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe Lovecraft wasn't as talented as people think?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mama’s boy should not be undersold here. His mother was vile and was directly the reason he was afraid of pretty much everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The FTC isn’t too happy with Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard layoffs⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don’t get this argument regardless of which way things “should be”.

  Even and independent Activision-Blizzard under Microsoft would have overlap with HR or something. I can’t imagine leaving them “independent” wasn’t going to entail some trimming of fat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where are the good political songs?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I’m late but I recommend Speak by Queensryche, it’s about revolution. The entire album Operation Mindcrime is a rail against religion and capitalism told through a character recruited into an underground revolution. It’s very good and a song that contains the lines “educate the masses” and “burn the Whitehouse down” gets a thumbs up from me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-racism be like⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Uncle Ben is literally a generic name given to house slaves. There were many Uncle Bens all across the south.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-racism be like⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to fuckin go back to school with your “think for yourself” crap if you think anything on the left is justified.

  And no, nothing on the right is racist, they’re not caricatures of enslaved people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wanna start *real* game theory? 😏⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bad post. Game theory describes a natural pattern towards a most efficient solution for all parts. Its just a math theory that helps predict results.

  And why Harold? Just because he’s on a PC? There are better formats for this in the first place, even if it made sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wanna start *real* game theory? 😏⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, OP missed that if it needs a rename, it would be as Efficiency Theory. In virology for example, game theory outlines how the flu and other viruses get less deadly over time since a just kinda sick person spreads disease better than the dead or deathly ill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doing the important work⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When someone says their burritos won’t stay shut I immediately know that they don’t know what they’re doing.

  XXIst

  I’ve been seeing this on Lemmy lately, why are people going to roman numerals? Do we hate Arabic now? It’s not saving keystrokes unless I’m crazy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pope calls for treaty regulating AI, warning of potential for ‘technological dictatorship’⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s cuz it’s Stellaris rules sooooo >_>

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pope calls for treaty regulating AI, warning of potential for ‘technological dictatorship’⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course the fanatic spiritualists oppose Al, it’s a blocked tech path for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun Run⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shoes ruined the connective tissue in your feet. It’s the unfortunate way most people end up needing orthotics.

  Everyone reading: start stretching and strengthening your feet, go barefoot where you can. Foot pain affects everything above it and you don’t want to be the person who can’t walk 100ft without their special shoes (which themselves are amazing since they can actually treat these issues at all, before anyone thinks I’m just anti-everything).
