But the dust will settle on everything, including the shelves you just cleaned?
- Comment on Do air purifiers really reduce dust much? 1 day ago:
I think most dust is dead skin and skin mites. Then in some areas there might be most dirt (entrance) and fibers (where you do laundry).

- Comment on It really is heart warming when grandkids teach their grandparents how to use the internet 1 week ago:
This meme no longer makes sense, as now the Millennial would be teaching the Gen Alpha how to use a computer.

If you keep falling short, cheat. Or if you keep falling short, your rich parents will prop you up.
So inspiring.

Yeah, some apples I bought recently weirdly last a long time. The reason I know is that they tasted bad so I didn’t feel like eating them…

Imperialist Germany might not have happened either
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 4 weeks ago:
There are many reasons, but it all comes down to economics: how easy and cheap it is to farm and harvest, yield size, does it require refrigeration during transport, what’s the shelf life, etc. Unfortunately optimizing for economics rarely pairs well with user interests, e.g. How nutricious the food is.

- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 4 weeks ago:
The EU officials are not elected by the people. Some of them are absolute idiots. The people pushing for this will continue making adjustments to Chat Control until one of the countries changes sides. The media is absolutely right.

We absolutely need this to be illegal. The discount coupon they offered to customer ws insulting.

It’s one thing to become obsolete because a new technology appears. It’s another thing for the rug to pulled from under you. You can still use old tech just fine, but not if the publisher decides to brick all your devices.

That’s the reason why I never buy a smart device I don’t control.

Hm, I disagree. Most complex animals we know are kinda big. When you get to the size of this lizard, usually we talking about insects that are little more than muscle automata. When we think of lizards, we think of of animals with a level of complex personality we can identify with.
When something complex is this minified, it is amazing. If you don’t think so, maybe you lost some sense of awe in life.

Hamburg to be renamed to Hamfrikadelle.
- Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know if there has ever been this level of discrepancy between availability vs access to aid in a conflict. There’s lots of aid available, but Gaza has zero access to it.

- Comment on THEY'RE EVOLVING 5 weeks ago:
That’s a fun idea for a game. You’re growing a bee colony that has evolved a symbiotic relationship with a species of snail. They feed and defend the snail, while they build the nest on the back.
- Comment on Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics? 5 weeks ago:
The fad has passed. Now the trend is using random objects as microphones.
- Comment on Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics? 5 weeks ago:
I have seen a few you tubers jokingly show that it was disconnected. Because yes, at some point even that became a meme. But I couldn’t find an example off the top of my head.
- Comment on Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics? 5 weeks ago:
They often still have the expensive microphone, but use an unplugged tiny microphone just for the aesthetics.
- Comment on More Ships Join Greta Thunberg's Gaza Flotilla to Break Blockade 1 month ago:
Can we stop judging people looks all the time? It’s like when people comment on how Elon Musk looks. He’s more than bad looks, he’s a terrible human being in his own right.
- Comment on Does more expensive phones have better reception? 1 month ago:
Since the iPhone 4? lots of phones simply moved the antennas to the exterior, so that’s not really a problem nowadays.
