- Comment on What’s Your Oldest System? 1 day ago:
Psion 5mx palmtop computer running Epoc OS. Had the screen cable replaced a few years ago. Still use it for the word processor from time to time. Runs on two AA batteries.
- Comment on Phone calls still assume the people on the receiving end are attached to a desk. 4 days ago:
Generally I get work emails to tell me things and work phone calls to ask me things. One twenty minute conference call could equate to about 800 emails going back and forth. (Also, some of our best staff don’t read and write (English) too well.
- Comment on A large language model trained off of Lemmy would be funny 2 months ago:
Yes it would.
- Comment on A large language model trained off of Lemmy would be funny 2 months ago:
No it wouldn’t.
- Comment on Why don't we hear more about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting? It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, we never found a motive, and it seems no one ever mentions it. 3 months ago:
The key word here might be “nutjob”. Mental illness manifests itself in a myriad of ways… perhaps that’s all it was. A very sick man doing very sick things.
- Comment on Everyone makes incest jokes about Adam and Eve and their children but they never mention that there was another woman named Lilith (Adam's first wife) who would have added variance to the gene pool. 4 months ago:
Never seen the word before. Immediately knew exactly what it meant due to context; but… yeah, funny.
- Comment on If a question is downvoted on !nostupidquestions, is the question too stupid or was it not stupid enough? 4 months ago:
An actual dog whistle sounds at a frequency (?) inaudible to humans but is heard by dogs. The “secret phrase” can be said out loud, but like the whistle, only the big dogs hear it - the rest of the humans don’t. Does that make sense? It’s used as an analogy.

And to think some of us fuckers here didn’t want the God-King to federate with us. You all will be first against the wall when Emperor Zuck - rightfully - ascends to the throne.
- Comment on How do I stop hating children? 5 months ago:
IMO They’re just small humans and like their larger counterparts some are worth my time and some aren’t. You sound ageist. My partner hates kids, much like you, but has slowly become fond of a select few we know. I’ve never really minded kids - but I’ve always been able to hand them back as I don’t have any of my own.
- Comment on Snot rocketing is gross... but if you don't have tissues, what are you going to do? 6 months ago:
Uh, I may have been over confident there. Apologies. I asked in a football/work groupchat last night. About a quarter of people knew what it meant (17/83). They’re all spread out across the UK. No real pattern.
- Comment on Snot rocketing is gross... but if you don't have tissues, what are you going to do? 6 months ago:
I’ve never heard “snot rocket” before. In the UK it’s called “footballer’s handkerchief” for obvious reasons.
- Comment on Is it possible to have an English only setting here? 7 months ago:
Yeah. That’s a good point well put. I probably should’ve used the word diverse rather than excellent…
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 7 months ago:
I’d it wasn’t for my passport - and some aches and pains - I’d still think I’m 15.
- Comment on Is it possible to have an English only setting here? 7 months ago:
I know what you mean. All these foreigners posting in gibberish. It’s almost like the web has now gone world wide. Who’d’ve thunk it? Like someone else said just scroll past them… or learn a second/third/fourth language and enjoy even more excellent content from all across the globe.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Good luck debating this topic. Even on a sight such as this it is way too divisive a question. You don’t have to support either side - it’s not a sports contest. There is too much history and backstory to make a snap decision. It’s just more death and misery for innocent folk on both sides whilst the fanatics (Hardliners, extremists etc.) on both sides try to wipe each other out.
