  "Yub nub"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not trying to disparage first responders on 911. Why aren't nurses included with fire and police departments? Did we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why right here. Had hospitals and makeshift medical areas been swarmed with patients, nurses would have responded and been praised for it, as they should. But there weren't survivors, which highlighted how bad it was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shhh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It's been less than 24 hours. It took me a second to get this. Shows how important the subject was in the long run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Music Community Right Now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE LEFT JUST DESTROYED THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Who knew leopards were in the crowd?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE LEFT JUST DESTROYED THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, you have the right to be intolerant, homophobic, and speak your mind about it. Just expect others to speak their mind and oppose it. Maybe that's what you're not a fan of. Charlie shouldn't have been shot, but boy he sure was helping to stir up the environment that causes violence. Remarkably he is on record for not being all that concerned about others being shot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If fossil fuels aren't vegan that would mean almost nobody is actually vegan. ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So they only use algae-only oil. Still doesn't change the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If fossil fuels aren't vegan that would mean almost nobody is actually vegan. ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is shifting blame. Fossil fuels are vegan in the sense of origin, however the harm done to the biosphere in using them is not vegan. Therefore a vegan using fossil fuels in a dependent society is to blame.

  Sure. It's not the much higher percentage of people participating in this, it's the vegans. At least they're making attempts to change, unlike the rest of us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just had a hospital group employee tell me to simply email medical information⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't know if it's still a thing as generations move on, but I remember when people objected to putting their credit card info into a web form even if it was HTTPS, yet they'd gladly read their card number over the phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3139: Chess Variant⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In some aspects this results in situations that the original Star Trek 3-D chess has with its movable platforms. The issue with chess variants is always how it adds while not unbalancing the game, and that's a difficult thing to test since chess by itself is complex even with its simple rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cinderella's Millennium Falcon⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Did Cinderella use that as a cargo pusher, or have it modified to do smuggling runs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cinderella's Millennium Falcon⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You should have seen what us 70s kids did pre-specialized parts with the basic LEGO. Like our computer games they were blocky, but they were awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meowposting⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Whoever labeled this as a cat churning butter never had a cat. We know what they're doing. Anything makes a good scratching post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Eagle screech]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Ford or Chevy would be a better brand match, but definitely the truck is the biggest problem with this image being accurate. The grill must be bigger because that indicates the owner's size (inversely).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good luck!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the current world my first impulse was to see if this was AI generated as it makes no sense. Then I thought that even AI might take such a prompt and reply "no, that's ridiculous." So definitely human made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The planet still belongs to the dinosaurs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Must be diesel. If you can get it to combust under high air pressure, a diesel will probably run off it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The planet still belongs to the dinosaurs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young artist who is a big fan of Twin Peaks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm old, and I remember this from early grade school. Some things persist over generations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The planet still belongs to the dinosaurs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Algae?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Very automated. I've been having regular calls for a while now from all sorts of different state area codes, same exact script about a loan offer almost complete and just lacking some income info. I let any unknown number go to voice mail, and find it entertaining to see which AI voice I get this time. For a while there it was a friendly woman that had a convincing tone, but the one guy's voice they tried sounded like he needed a vacation and was over his job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fly, you fools!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It's a trap!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  "It's the same picture."

  Always has been. The only difference is what they're selling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The longer you live, the harder it becomes.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  True, the implied was "if you can".

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are stardust.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can do both of these flipping back and forth. Existential dread, awe, and purpose at the same time.

  Also, Stardust takes on new meaning after Rogue One.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The longer you live, the harder it becomes.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, retire early. You can't buy more time, and you definitely can't buy the energy and health you had.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨irl shiny⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I learned that the worst thing to do is spray a Florida roach with bug spray. Now he's just pissed at you and looking for revenge.

  I agree with the others. I actually think even the common roach color is pretty and they're fascinating creatures, it's how they behave that triggers a primordial panic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taco Bell Says 'No Más' to AI Drive-Thru Experiment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We know how that ended up. Yikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make it make sense ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you're still moving with traffic, why do you care that someone got in front of you? If you're slowing so much that lots of people are getting in front at one time, then you're the obstacle. A 3 second gap changes with speed, if it's slow traffic that's less than a car length. And if some asshole muscles their way into a gap unsafely, let them. You'll still get to your destination far faster than if you hit each other or cause some road rage stupidity because of who is in front.

  Driving brings out the worst in people for no gain at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If conditions on earth are perfect for life to form shouldn't have happened more than once?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But since we're talking about early life forming (actually chemical replicators, much simpler than a virus) let's use the card shuffling odds, but decks of cards are being shuffled in billions or trillions of places on early Earth every second for millions of years. Even a very low odds of finding a working sequence of molecules will be found geologically quickly given the amount of times done over area and time. We're pretty sure now that life began very soon once the Earth cooled down enough to allow it. What took much longer was the more complex forms of life like viruses and single cells, then even longer for multicellular.
