What’s hilarious about this is that obstructed barrels actually can explode into ribbons just like the cartoons. A finger might not do it though, and not sure how many volunteers you’d get for a scientific test.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 3 weeks ago:
Correct, just the communities. I still see .ml user posts and comments in other communities, which is tolerable. Plenty of them are fine. For the that aren’t, the heckler’s veto sometimes keeps the dumber narratives at bay.
I appreciate that instance labels carry some meaning of how a user is likely to act.

Never updating your browser again is a pretty bad idea when it comes to security

Lemmy.ml is the only instance block I have, after seeing too many illiberal shit takes, bad faith arguments and socialist astroturf posts.
My instance quickly defederated from HexBear and LemmyGrad which is just fine by me, it’s helpful most of the bad eggs are concentrated in just a few places.

- Comment on Despite economic growth, 70% of Americans believe the economy is getting worse 3 months ago:
Part of it is that when people say the “economy” is up, they’re usually only referring to valuations of public companies which is only part of the picture. The price-to-earnings ratio is so wack right now that many companies are trading at 18x their earnings per share, so while profits may be up, the companies are still wildly overvalued compared to their expected output.
Real wage growth has lagged significantly compared to the historical trend. If the labor market continues to take a beating, consumer spending will tank and bring equities down with it.

Are these parents unable to keep their kids away from smartphones?

I don’t know how I even survived bussing tables 8 hours a week at age 14 🙄
Really, a part time job and saving while still in high school made it a hell of a lot easier to start out on my own after.
- Comment on Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail time 11 months ago:
It’s a common misunderstanding that an autopilot system in an airplane does everything or even a lot of things. The most basic ones keep the wings level and nothing else. Of course Tesla is probably counting on that too sell this feature, but actual pilots using any kind of autopilot are still on the hook to pay attention 100% of the time.

Remember when Sony audio CDs came with a rootkit, and then the ‘uninstaller’ they distributed had even more malware?
