• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a word, perhaps as 40-letter compound word in German, that explains this annoying social phenomenon?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does the word need to convey "Passenger 57" and "MacGillicuddy" too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3204: Dinosaurs And Non-Dinosaurs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL dimetrodon is not a dinosaur, based on a silhouette in a cartoon.

  I haven't really thought about dimetrodons since I was a kid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond All Reason⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We used to hide copies of Snipes on the school network and play it on their LAN during programming class. No GPU required.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's with companies naming things "MyNoun"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It's better that prefixing everything with "i."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨people with ADHD self-medicate with amphetamine, overly sensitive empaths self-medicate with alcohol, what does people with OCD self-medicate with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't know what works for OCD, but I guarantee they take the same dose every day at the exact same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some users have zero upvotes on their posts/comments?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My mbin account doesn't auto-upvote my posts or comments, and neither did my kbin account.

  At the time I started using kbin, it was considered a character flaw to upvote your own content. Votes were also public.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There were a lot of typos in the linked announcement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long does it take for pregnancy to become noticeable?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could be a pregnancy fetish writer but also need to got to an obstetrician.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long does it take for pregnancy to become noticeable?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could still be for fetish content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smuggler's Blues⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of the pelts were ruined by blaster burns, unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A man eating another man's meat is gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the old days? I still do it. Just not that often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you spell the sound Transformers make when they transform?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ki-kiri-ki

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish we had a good term to describe making assumptions about how an individual will behave based only on their nationality, race, or ethnicity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4th of july, who will be happy to be independent of whom⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was a tough read.

  The Douglass speech was “What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they're brown, they can't let you down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should be emoji reaction for "me too" in the general sense⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  🚷🍆💦🧓

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, that makes more sense. I was going to leave a top-level comment that furries are still a thing, but you've made that superfluous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else having a hard time sympathizing with Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I'd have a harder time defending Xi Jinping from comparisons to Winnie the Pooh, if you want to know where it ranks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you people all bots?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You're not so big.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you people all bots?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You're not the boss of me now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tradition is just bullying by dead people⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shirley Jackson didn't write any stories about towns where nothing happens. Survival of the fittest twist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I CAN'T go outside without permission - is there any way I can help fight for a better world from the comfort of my bedroom?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now that you've realized the pride's arrived, we
  got to pump the stuff to make us tough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What we need is to concentrate power into the hands of a single benevolent ruler with absolute authority. I suggest Winnie the Pooh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe credit for the first occurrence goes back to Ferdinand Magellan. Although he himself did not have the procedure, his crew did after his death in 1521.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a tricky debate, with mostly religious and traditionalist people on one side, and people against unnecessary surgical procedures on the other. Either way, I think once the foreskin is removed, it should be treated as medical waste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Winnie the Pooh considered "racist" now or are .ml folks using it as an excuse to defend Xi Jin Ping?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  MAGAs amd Tankies both want one party rule, amd they're both shitty parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta love science reporters. "Thought to be impossible."

  "A 747 jet took off from New York's Kennedy airport this morning, accomplishing a feat once thought to be impossible."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When your result breaks the laws of physics, you need to check your measurements and maths just to be sure. Better yet, have others do it for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked ChatGPT to correct your grammar, and here is what I got back. I hope it helps.

  It is worth mentioning that the referenced Stack Overflow survey does not include many countries that also have excellent developers, including Russia.

  I have never seriously used, do not use now, and will not use any LLM in my work, art, or research.
  I prefer people, communication, discovery, effort, creativity, and human art.

  Meanwhile, so incredibly many developers and artists are left without attribution, respect, or gratitude.
  So many people atrophy their skills for learning, contribution, research, accumulation, and self-organization.
  So much precious human time is wasted.
  So much is devalued.

  Time will show, and only a few who are actually accountable will probably recover.
  This is heartbreaking… sorrowful…
