The perspective of this pic makes it look like you have the cutest little crescent wrench and screwdriver
- Comment on Got to be impressed with this guy's skill 1 week ago:
I’m sure this is real and that guy is super talented, but I’d love to see a video of somebody who couldn’t do this but still had confidence because they thought the video would be edited so the bread didn’t all fall to the ground
- Comment on Shamelessly stolen and posted here for y'all 1 week ago:
At least it’s not forty cakes. That’s as many as four tens. And that’s terrible
- Comment on JUST DO PSYCHEDELICS LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE 2 weeks ago:
“Drugs” is a pretty wide net, and yeah most of them would make it more difficult. Someone who isn’t me once told me that psychedelics make it a lot easier to follow really abstract thought, and that comes in handy when trying to imagine theoretical geometries our brains and other sensory equipment didn’t evolve to comprehend
- Comment on JUST DO PSYCHEDELICS LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE 3 weeks ago:
No no, I think there’s a misunderstanding here. If you can accurately describe to me what an n-brane is or have ever used terms like “deformation in the local topology”, I assume you’ve done SIGNIFICANTLY more psychedelics than most people. I’ve never had easier access to psychedelics in my life than when I spent most of my time near the math buildings at uni.
- Comment on Interesting question I really hadn't thought about 3 weeks ago:
Normally I’d have your back with the translation but I can’t understand the cockney accent OP is speaking with
- Comment on Uncultured 4 weeks ago:
Telomeres are a structure on DNA. These things, aglets, are a common metaphor used to describe the function of telomeres as aglets basically do for shoelaces what telomeres do for DNA

I’d tell you to get off my lawn, but I was born in the 90s so I don’t own a lawn and statistically never will
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 month ago:
I could probably discover electricity, depending on where I landed. Jewelers of the time could make wire, copper was common, and magnets (lodestones) had been discovered. Realistically though I’d be a dumb giant (ie, speak no known languages of the time and statistically I’d have like a foot on the “tall” people of the era). I’d probably try to find some party trick that looked like magic to people of the era then hope that people would welcome and try to integrate me rather than burning me as a witch. Then I’d probably die in a week or two anyway to some disease lol

Don’t we still have a few years before lemmy somehow enshittifies?
- Comment on Given how paintball guns work, could you swap paintballs for a waterballs? 1 month ago:
Paintballs are trickier than just a water balloon. They have to be rigid/strong enough to survive the blast of co2 or compressed air that propels them, then they have to be soft enough to break on impact without harming the other player.
They also just aren’t that messy. I worked under the table as a referee at a Paintball place when I was 13, and we played such that gameplay didn’t stop when refs were doing paint checks. We’d toss people out if they were intentionally focusing on us but I got lit up probably 10+ times a day, every weekend for 2 years. My jersey and slider pants came clean in the wash every time, and to this day the only lasting blemishes are the shredded fabric on the knees/elbows/ass from when I dove and slid a lot.

- Comment on As Europe pours money into defence, reliance on US remains a sticking point 2 months ago:
Not sure if Rutte is a dipshit or if he thinks he’s speaking to dipshits. Claiming that defense and economics are separate is wildly inaccurate to the point of abject stupidity. The entire problem American fascists claim to have with Nato is that they’re not putting enough of their economy into defense
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 3 months ago:
It’s depressing how many top level comments or replies are about how people like that there is a technical barrier gatekeeping lemmy. Are yall actually leftists or do you just pretend to be while worshipping your own version of social hierarchy in which us nerds are on top?

The famed Wanksy approach?
- Comment on Detective Puzzle (It's hard!) 4 months ago:
What a cool use for an llm! I’ve been playing for about 10 minutes and I love it. I did get “Peter Scrunch” to admit to me that “as a large language model I can only access the information provided to me” when I pushed it on questions about Scrunch’s past

Sounds like you’re smoking those millipedes through the wrong orifice my dude
- Comment on The UK steps up with an 81% emissions cut target at COP29 following Trump win 6 months ago:
The UK steps up to blow more meaningless hot air about climate goals they will entirely ignore the instant it causes any of their oligarchs to lose money
