- Comment on TIL there was a TV tuner attachment for the Game Gear! 4 days ago:
Digital converter boxes output their signal over cable (coax or HDMI, etc) NOT air. - some old (small) tv devices were antenna only.
I mean, the old devices could be modified, but you don’t always wanna do that.

You know the devices that take audio and convert it to a radio signal for your car?
We need the same thing but for old analog tv signals.

I don’t believe it’s life sized. I believe it is sitting on something, like the curio cabinets in the background of the picture.
- Comment on Try Butt Nutts Today!! 1 week ago:
It’s thought the anus evolved approximately 550 million years ago. One theory says it evolved from an opening originally used to release sperm which fused with the gut. This would mean nuts might have been going in butts for as long as butts have existed.
- Comment on Try Butt Nutts Today!! 1 week ago:
One can already pay to see butt nuts readily online. One must simply search for anal creampie.
Bon Appetit.

We already have butt nuts, but y’all aren’t ready for that I guess. Some of my fellas know what I’m talking about.

- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 2 weeks ago:
In this case, it might not involve the surveillance company selling anything. All an insurance adjuster has to do is knock on doors in the area and ask the home owners if they are willing to share any video footage they have.
And yes, people do this all the time. I work in this industry.
I really hate to stand on the side of the data hoarding conglomerates, but there’s a significant chance they were not involved in the release of that video.

I just found this out. Idk how I feel about this.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 3 weeks ago:
It seems it has been done both ways? Source is screenshot of Wikipedia btw.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 3 weeks ago:
I meant the character itself (the way it is drawn) is a combination of long s and regular s. But, you’re right.
Also, the Wikipedia page says a capital ß is actually occasionally used. You learn something every day, I guess.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 3 weeks ago:
Ok. It’s time for unsolicited German facts.
The ß or “esset” (also known as “scharfes s” or “sharp s”) is actually the combination of the old long s (ſ) and a regular s.
ſ + s = ſs = ß
Isn’t that neat? It’s also worth noting that no words start with ß, and it is lower-case only. If you need to write a word with an ß in all caps, replace it with a double s.
Straße -> STRASSE

- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 1 month ago:
No. It was you who said the X-Men were never about saving people. I said yes they did. Then you seemed to argue that because the main focus of the X-Men comics isn’t specifically saving people, they are not focused on that in the slightest.
I agree they almost never talked about it in what I read of the original run, but that was the 60s. I’ve read plenty of X-Men comics (after the 70s reboot) where they arrive on scene and start saving people THEN focus on the bad guy.
I’m just trying to say that they do save people. Yes, it’s not the main focus of the comic, but why would it be?
- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 1 month ago:
Um, ok. And, the main focus of the Bible isn’t gardening, either.
The primary focus isn’t saving people, because that would get old really fast. Is there even a comic where the primary focus is saving people, all the time? What good would saving people do if you didn’t also stop the thing causing the disaster? (Because it is almost always not a natural disaster in comics.)
- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 1 month ago:
Which is a pity, because they do in the comics. Kitty and Nightcrawler are especially good at saving trapped people.

So, your question got me wondering. I went on a whole search down the rabbit hole, and I eventually came upon a YouTube video that summarizes it briefly and elegantly:

- Comment on "Wait, was that shampoo? Yeah.. Welp, I guess we're washing our body with shampoo today." 2 months ago:
Shampoo is pH balanced for your hair. Body wash and shower soap are not.
Your hair likes slight acidity, believe it or not. (Look up “apple cider vinegar use in hair”) And, soap is basic. Using soap/body wash in hair will strip your hair of too much oil and throw of your hair’s pH balance. This usually makes your hair dry and frizzy.
Keep in mind we used to use soap in hair all the time, back in the day. But people bathed a LOT less often back then. They needed the extra cleaning power. Plus, the less frequent use dried out their hair less.

- Comment on What’s the best written Pokémon game? 3 months ago:
You cannot change a pokemon game’s language in the middle of a playthrough. This is because a breeding pair of Pokemon with different language origins have a higher chance to breed with each other (it’s supposed to motivate you to trade online).
If you wanna change your language, you’re gonna have to wipe your save and start over.

- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 4 months ago:
Yeah, all kinda of places. Dollar General does this too. They have a direct deposit option. But, I many people who work there don’t have a bank account, so they offer to pay you with a pre-paid card. And it does have tons of fees.
- Comment on How are you doing fellow kids 4 months ago:
Nobody probably cares, but there’s no such thing as a capital esset (ß).
So it would either be Pißwasser or PISSWASSER.
