  Oh, I thought you were going to stick them on tesla wankpanzers.

  Biscuits/cookies. If you tighten the lid it’ll be airtight and they’ll stay fresh for a lot longer.

  On laptop you have to tilt the screen towards you a lot more than usual and look at it just above the function keys. On desktop you have to stand up for the same perspective.

  Great, now my family are wondering why I was laughing.

  Fat contains long hydrocarbon H-C-H chains (with other stuff at the end). When it’s broken down to release energy, it combines with (3) oxygen O2 molecules, making H=O=H (water, H2O) that you sweat, pee or breathe out, and O=C=O (carbon dioxide) that your breathe out. Carbon accounts for significantly more of the weight than the hydrogen and it’s in this sense that you breathe it out.

  If you breathe significantly more without exercise, you’ll hyperventilate, which I’m sure is even less fun than the exercise in lengthy doses, and I don’t think you’ll lose weight.

  You can sugar coat it however you like and No-True-Scotsman till the cows come home, but North Korea, iirc, even today, kills, imprisons and tortures more people for their beliefs than any other country.

  Believing that atheists are somehow immune from shittiness is absurd.

  Absolutely.

  Not any more, they don’t!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google removes pledge to not use AI for weapons from website | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When they removed their “don’t be evil” motto, I thought it was hilariously bad optics but probably came from some misguided thinking that if they stopped talking about the potential for evil, people would stop wondering whether they had bad motives and needed the motto to keep straight.

  It became clearer and clearer that they removed the motto because they felt it was holding them back from greater profits and was skewing employee behaviours in ways they didn’t want and bringing up objections to policy ideas that they wanted to avoid. It was never about the optics, it was about the profits.

  Now, when Google removes a pledge not to make portable killer AIs and skynet, you have to accept that it’s because they see making portable killer AIs and skynet as hugely profitable for them, and they don’t want any good intentions or moral behaviour getting in the way of that profit.

  Ah that all makes sense now, thank you for explaining.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 1 Reddit Refugee⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a really good point.

  I’ve been here about a year now. Good times. Your voice counts on lemmy in a way it really really doesn’t on reddit. People will engage with you because you’re human and say human things. It’s much more welcoming for people who like to talk somehow than reddit ever was. Don’t know why.

  By the way, people talk a lot about how lemmy.world censors luigi, but I use lemmy.world and see, upvote and sometimes comment on plenty of luigi stuff without mod intervention. Maybe it’s just one of two communities (subreddits) where it’s enforced.

  If you’re a communist and don’t like to hear China (or sometimes for some weird reason Russia) criticised, and if you feel that the USA is the Imperialist power that needs to be broken first, you’ll feel most at home in lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, but also lemmy.ml if you want to keep access to stuff from lemmy.world.

  If you’re progressive or liberal, you’ll be fairly happy here on lemmy.world. If you’re a conservative, I don’t know where to recommend you.

  There are various country specific ones you might find suit you for other reasons.

  All in all I’m not sure it matters a great deal as much as it sounds in my post. People from different instances turn up and say stuff anyway.

  The best advice is that you don’t have to lurk as much as you used to on reddit, you can show up and engage and the conversation will start around you.

  …and by this, republicans mean that they don’t like hearing it.

  Republicans don’t see the distinction between “I don’t like this” and “I deny this”.

  So now we have both irrational and fractional fucks, we have all real fucks, and since we can have “twisted fuck” we can rotate any fuck through any angle and we have the entire complex fuck plane.
