I think that the relative lack of content is actually a feature for this reason - sometimes I open Lemmy out of habit, but I see the same content and go do something more worthwhile instead.

I think seeing the drink immediately fizz up massively was worth having the information come via video.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
The video does end with that recommendation, but personally I often find myself out and about thinking “I wish I had brought a straw”. They don’t fit in pockets very well, and I don’t usually carry a bag.

Rhyming is generally the opposite of alliteration, because alliteration’s repetition of initial sounds, and rhyming’s repeated sounds at the end (like flatus atlas).

I think any federated service is more vulnerable, because there’s no central oversight of e.g. IPs used to create accounts.
Even without any code, you could easily register accounts at the 20 largest instances and upvote yourself. I’m sure some people will have done just that.

FFS, can’t we have anything!?

If we’re replacing cilia as well, the fact that respiratory cilia exists means she’s probably got severe to fatal breathing problems too.

I’m still deciding how much I agree or disagree with this. It’s true that they do cite books which you often can’t read online, but adding information backed up by a paywalled proof feels a bit “trust me bro”. E.g. I could find/create a site with an impossibly large paywall and no-one would realistically able to check my sources.

You’re absolutely right, I’ll edit my comment. Thanks for that catch.
- Comment on Nomenclature 3 weeks ago:
Brilliant articles, thanks - written by someone completely conversant in both birds and internet culture, with a sense of humour but also communicating bird facts and including citations for things like why round things are cuter.

Disgraceful, old-fashioned actions from the unnamed diving certifiers, and given that he’s a registered PADI instructor, I think it’s clear that PADI puts their reputation above child safety.

I didn’t think it could have anything to do with DNS, but again I was wrong.
- Comment on Thanks Alot 4 weeks ago:
That user seems to spend most of their time on Lemmy “correcting” people’s spelling, including correctly spelt words that Americans spell differently. So, they’re either a troll or just insufferable.

The attention economy is definitely a thing that corporations are very interested in, I think you’ve missed the overall point of OP’s post in your righteous zeal.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 1 month ago:
I also sometimes use the Kagi summaries and it’s definitely been wrong before. One time I asked what the term was for something in badminton and it came up with a different badminton term. When I looked at the cited source, it was a multiple choice quiz with the wrong term being the first answer.
It’s reliable that I still use it, although more often to quickly identify which search results are worth reading.

They also use pig carcasses for ballistic tests as they’re all similar.
Also, once the pigs take over the farm they start walking on two legs.
- Comment on Is there any way to modify community subscription weight? 2 months ago:
Others have already pointed out scaled (my default sort) but I have often thought I would like to see a full feed for my quieter comms. Without making a new only-quiet-comms account or modifying a Lemmy client the only way I’ve thought of is to subscribe to the RSS feeds (but that means using a different app and managing two sets of subscriptions).

USB A doesn’t support at the fancy high-power PD/PPS features.
- Comment on xkcd #3184: Funny Numbers 2 months ago:
I think some will still understand it, although I can’t remember the last time I heard anyone use it.

Skrilla is from Philadelphia, where the police apparently don’t use 10-67, but it’s “Report of Death” in some areas so this still seems the most likely explanation.
- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 2 months ago:
Also from the article:
If the worst happens and the dome is punctured, 2,000 tonnes of CO2 will enter the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to the emissions of about 15 round-trip flights between New York and London on a Boeing 777. “It’s negligible compared to the emissions of a coal plant,” Spadacini says. People will also need to stay back 70 meters or more until the air clears, he says.

They’ve already started building the hotel, but they’ve got a way to go.

I learnt it as BODMAS (brackets, orders, division and multiplication, addition and subtraction).

Have you seen the footage of scientists feeding them from their own arms? Nooope, not for all the tea in China.

I’m currently living somewhere hot enough that the little pricks are a bother all year round.
