Really. When you replace the “horseless” with a horse, you call it a carriage. The name changed with the propulsion method.
- Comment on Flying cars crash into each other at Chinese air show 1 day ago:
Jet is a form of propulsion shortened to describe an aircraft. Jet aircraft, prop aircraft, etc. It is not a “bullshit” term.
Yes, these “cars” are aircraft.

- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 4 days ago:
Democrat here. Didn’t want to burn it all down. Hoped there would be adults in the room to reel trump in like last time. Nope. He’s wrecking everything and I’m not sure it’s possible to put it all back together again even if it’s possible to put dems in charge.

And the nursing homes will be full of Arya, Daenarys, and Khaleesi. Boys movie names tend to be pretty underwhelming. Maybe a bunch of “Wades” from Deadpool.

If the internet were a forest, Google opines the forest is in such poor shape while Google uses and sells chain saws.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
I’ve swapped back and forth between brands since I built my first computer almost 30 years ago. It was intel forever until AMD showed up with their early Athlons, amazing CPUs for the price. Then Intel fought back with with their Core 2 Quads, AMD with Thunderbirds, back to intel with their higher i-series, up until about 2-3 years ago and now AMD’s Ryzen offering the better performance/$ again. It’s too bad intel seems to be unable to keep costs competitive and maintain quality. I’ve never had a CPU quit on me yet (knock on wood). Motherboards, RAM, PSUs, sure.

- Comment on Gen Z are dipping into their retirements, skipping meals and selling their belongings just to get by, new reports find 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure what’s up with Z. Young men leaning hard towards trump, lots of backlash against female characters in movies, following toxic men like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson. It’s like they’re becoming boomers. (Not saying they’re ALL like this, just a very surprising and growing number are.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 weeks ago:
Not much of a difference if you’re a landlord. I don’t entirely disagree, but Lemmy hates landlords even if you’re a good one.

Are these one time use? Like you gain the ability to talk to oysters forever? Grow a new nose as many times as you want? Or talk to oysters for 5 minutes and one extra nose?
-
Become a water quality assessor with instant and accurate data on pollutants, if there are invasive species, whether or not there are pearls present, and any other information oysters can offer about the environment.

Instant paving/gravel business with a huge profit margin compared to competitors.

Depends on the locus of movement. If 7” only, like a quarter step in any direction, kinda useless*. If moving your entire body 7” away from it’s previous location, good for theft I guess if the barrier is less than 7” thick.
*if you can “spam” the 7” movement rapidfire with no speed limit, you can travel as fast as you can wherever you want in a “stuttering” teleport.

Useful to someone disfigured, lost one to skin cancer or other issue.

Depends on what you limit a toaster to and what constitutes control. If you can control any facet of any device that heats the interior for purposes of heating the contents to a specific temperature, then this is really powerful. Engines “toast” fuel. Kilns “toast” everything from carbon fiber to ceramics to tempering glass. The ability to control the specific heating of any material in an enclosed environment would have wide application.

Spam it.

- Comment on Just a little bit more 2 weeks ago:
Ridiculous that we can have people pushing challenges that cause harm, telling you the earth is flat, that trump is god emperor, or that autism is easy to cure. Those garbage posts go crazy. But if you swear some algorithms lower your visibility and certain words get your posts hidden or banned.
That’s fucked up.
