OK, we can compromise and keep your index finger and thumb nail. But they grow at 1/10 the speed.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 20 hours ago:
Nails. I think we could go without nails. Specially toe nails. Finger nails could be an optional add on.
- Comment on More than 1m cars sold in UK each year too big to fit typical parking space 1 day ago:
Parking garages should really start imposing width limits the same way they do height limits.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview 2 days ago:
The dumb take is that this is a bad idea because you might damage the card. That’s silly because that’s just the trade off of portability.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview 2 days ago:
Yes, and did you read wha ti said?.. I agree with what you just said.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview 2 days ago:
That’s a really dumb take. That’s just the downside of physical media.
The real problem of this is just the same as the digital games. Once the Nintendo switch store inevitably goes offline like the Wii and 3DS, your key card becomes useless e-waste no matter how good you care for it.

No :(

- Comment on Power is not energy: why the difference matters [Technology Connections] 6 days ago:
If you think the average person understands watts, you live in a bubble, straight and simple. You have a very skewed notion of the average person.
- Comment on Harvard scientist who opposed Ukraine war faces deportation back to Russia, friends say 1 week ago:
God creates frogs straight. The gay and trans ones go to hell. There’s no point in that research.
- Comment on Harvard scientist who opposed Ukraine war faces deportation back to Russia, friends say 1 week ago:
I guess her frist mistake was doing research on frogs. That’s not appropriate research under the new regime.
- Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes? 1 week ago:
Resisting the urge to downvoted because this is a great question for this sub.
A lot of it is historical and never changed for 100+ years. Same reason buttons are on opposite sides on men and women garments.
- Comment on Baby face next to name 2 weeks ago:
That or because you’re like a baby whining about little emoji. Self fulfilling profecy. (I’m kidding)
- Comment on FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies 2 weeks ago:
How can you outlaw something a company in another conhtinent is doing? And specially when they are becoming better as disguising themselves as normal traffic? What will happen is that politicians will see this as another reason to push for everyone having their ID associated with their Internet traffic.
- Comment on Greenland election to be closely watched by the world 3 weeks ago:
Greenland receives vasts amounts of money from Denmark and pays no taxes back to the kingdom. If someone thinks the US would accept these conditions and that Greenland would be happy as a US territory, they’ve been completely brainwashed. The US would devastatingly plunder the region until there’s nothing left and give nothing back to the people.
- Comment on Did sites end up making money from API restrictions? 3 weeks ago:
Friend, Google is now paying for the privilege of accessing the reddit results and so far no other search engine is able to. I’m pretty sure reddit is making bank…
Twitter on the other hand, I doubt it. Some media companies might have accepted to pay for access, but most certainly didn’t. They most certainly lost money with the user exodus.
- Comment on Italy approves draft law outlawing violence against women 3 weeks ago:
No, but it seems that they want to aggravate the sentences of those who kill, sexually attack, or even stalk women up to life sentences.

Good job buddy
- Comment on Britain’s biggest unions call for much closer UK-EU ties amid ‘volatile’ global economy 4 weeks ago:
Yes, I know. You can do the same with euros, if the British euro has the same drawings in the back. Each country has different designs on the back of their coins.
- Comment on Britain’s biggest unions call for much closer UK-EU ties amid ‘volatile’ global economy 4 weeks ago:
You can still have the collective shield using euros.
- Comment on EU’s defense plans are a threat, says Kremlin, warning of retaliatory measures 4 weeks ago:
“We see that the European Union is now very actively discussing the topic of the militarization of the EU, the development of the defense segment in particular. These are processes that we are closely monitoring, because the European Union positions Russia as its main adversary,” he added."
Russia: positions itself as Europe’s main adversary
Also Russia: how dare you position us as your main adversary? This means war
- Comment on Britain’s biggest unions call for much closer UK-EU ties amid ‘volatile’ global economy 4 weeks ago:
Water under the bridge. Just apply again!
Of course this time there will be no special treatment 😊 (no border exceptions, no currency exceptions).
- Comment on Albanese says Australian government now ‘open to consideration’ of sending troops to Ukraine 4 weeks ago:
Nothing like a common hatred for Trump to unify the west.
- Comment on China’s humanoid robot turns into Kung-fu master after dancing debut 4 weeks ago:
I thought the same. And watching the second video it’s still impressive, but much more realistic.
- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype 5 weeks ago:
That’s why I said around these parts. Back then there was a lot more regional fragmentation.
- Comment on Not real... *for now* 5 weeks ago:
Where you gonna go without your government issued passport?
- Comment on Not real... *for now* 5 weeks ago:
It’s your government issued app, required to access services like hospitals and social security.
- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype 5 weeks ago:
Around these parts in the 2000s, MSN Messenger was what literally everyone used. Then Microsoft bought Skype and decided to shut down MSN Messenger. Then they also ruined Skype. Microsoft just can’t do anything right despite making so much money. It’s like they have no long term vision.
- Comment on Denmark to ban mobile phones in schools and after-school clubs 5 weeks ago:
If a phone is required for a class, teachers can still demand it as course material.
- Comment on Denmark to ban mobile phones in schools and after-school clubs 5 weeks ago:
If you want to provide classes that teach about technology you can open exceptions for those classes. You don’t need you phone during math, acience and language classes.
