- Comment on If Nintendo went belly up today the retro community would have a field day 2 days ago:
Said it before, I’ll say it again: I wish Nintendo would go the way of Sega. Make video games, get outta the hardware game. They make good games, and while briefly I was enamored by the switch, their track record with consoles is hit and miss. I’m tired of buying new systems for Zelda, it’s basically all I play on Nintendo (though, I’m not a big gamer, so probably not most representative example). Give us Nintendo games on PC, Xbox, PlayStation.

Used to live across from a 711 that had hotdog shaped burger… Tubes or whatever you wanna call it. Basically this, except super uniform. Pretty sure it was extruded instead of formed or rolled or something.
They were not good lol
- Comment on Weekends were a mistake, says Infosys co-founder Narayama Murthy 2 days ago:
It’s not about productivity. If that were the real goal then the entire system would be structured radically differently, given what we know now through actual research. The real goal is ensuring that workers do not have ample time or energy to collectively organize. Make sure they don’t have the time to even think about anything else, and you ensure they damn sure don’t have the time to rebel. The other goal is ensuring there are a significant number of unemployed people in terrible enough conditions to make them desperate, but not so terrible that they are incapable of working. That way if s few stray workers get a bug up their ass about organizing and striking, there’s a reserve army of labor in the homeless and unemployed communities that can step in and scab.
- Comment on Examination you say? What kind? 2 days ago:
Wait, is goober slang for vagina somewhere? In the us south it’s just peanuts, and occasionally a kid friendly term for a silly person. I can imagine it being used as a term for a penis and/or balls, but ive never personally heard it.
- Comment on Dentist the Menace 3 days ago:
Honestly, as someone who’s lacked dental care for 15 years, while it surprises me “street dentist” is a term, what surprises me the most is that I’ve never considered trying to find one. Lol. I’ve pulled my own teeth, why did I never consider finding a shady dude to do it for me?

It’s a (probably butchered) quote from the movie Luca, about a sea monster

As much dead whale as you can eat! Can’t really help it. The mouth opened, the whale carcass go in

I love how street dentist is a blue link.

- Comment on what can I use to cushion my knee when exercising with it on the floor so it doesn't hurt? 5 days ago:
I’m gay, in a county where most of the play is deeply closeted guys who can’t host and want a blowjob in the woods. You kneel on a pinecone a few times, you find yourself investing in kneepads. Lol

Oh! As in, should you be an outside observer, and grabbing the whole planet, you’d be able to feel houses on its surface if it were the size of a golf ball?
Presumably you’d feel like crushing under your fingers like the hairs on a kiwi lol

I’m sure there’s some actual science thing they’re referencing here, but I don’t understand it. Who can’t feel houses?

I’m afraid I cannot. I’m afraid Lemmy is far too emotional to handle the deep philosophical messages of “The Kirking of my Colon-ar”
- Comment on Confusion on Trek Eras 3 weeks ago:
I think I blocked that one out. When i5 revealed Vulcans descended from ancient Hylians it was very upsetting to me, because it completely retconned all the erotic Spock fiction I had written.

- Comment on Federated social media from before it was cool 3 weeks ago:
Firstly, that would be awesome, but imagine the spam.
Secondly, I’m a proponent of thorn, I get it. But ð was almost exclusively used medially and terminally in English. In addition it didn’t last nearly as long, and is much less recognizable as a letter in English. Þ was used initially, and is far more commonly seen in English. I get that you’re using them for voiced and unvoiced like in Icelandic, but that wasn’t so much the convention in English. I’m not against it, I’m asking to be sold on it. Lol. Sell me on why I need eth instead of just using thorn for both voiced and unvoiced, please? I’m willing to be converted.
And third, I’m having trouble finding it, was eth on it’s own ever used as a single letter spelling of the, or is that your own addition? I like it. When writing (by hand) notes or things only I’ll be reading, I use the þe shorthand that looks like an e cradled in the crook of a y, like was common in colonial America.
- Comment on #notaseagull 3 weeks ago:
Fucking love seagulls. Grew up at the beach, gulls everywhere. They used to dig in our trash cans and we had to put heavy weights on the lids. Still fucking love em. They’re awesome, amazing trash birds who give zero fucks. I have seen gulls fully steal food from people’s mouths. I’ve seen them sit on windshields and refuse to move so you can drive, including just allowing the wipers to fwap into them repeatedly.
Seagulls aren’t cunts. Seagulls serve cunt, and I love them for it.
