- Comment on Have there been any major changes noticed in countries that have recently split? 1 day ago:
A few of the stans switched (back?) to a Latin alphabet at the fall of the USSR. Kazakhstan is in the process of doing the same.
- Comment on Does anyone have ideas for cable management here? 4 days ago:
Do you have attic access over that wall? A really long HDMI/RCA could go from behind the TV into the wall, up to attic, skip a few studs, then down to a brush faceplate behind the consoles
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 1 week ago:
These types of batteries are called wafer batteries because you just eat them
- Comment on The Sims Competitor inZOI Sells 1 Million in a Week, Krafton Declares It a ‘Long-Term Franchise IP’ 1 week ago:
People already made nude patches. The second there’s official mod support, this game is getting a permanent reputation as a porn game, I guarantee it
- Comment on Would it be a bad idea to show up at a protest outside a Tesla dealership with a sign that says "Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump"? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, instead OP should fill a gas can with Gatorade and casually sip from the can while at the protest. If anyone asks, say you brought it to show your support for combustion engines. There’s no way that can be interpreted as a threat, right?
- Comment on The wildest details in the Facebook memoir Meta is trying to bury 3 weeks ago:
It’s real hard to press that button - its built into a locked briefcase and stashed in a bunker under the whitehouse. You also need a code for the button to do anything, I think.
- Comment on YSK that some governments have technology known as Directed-energy weapons such as Long-range acoustic device and Active Denial System... (continue in post) 3 weeks ago:
This conspiracy theorist just ctrl-f’d for havana and scoffed at the 0/0
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 3 weeks ago:
Manufacturers need to put the cheap ass software on a cheap ass $20 stick. Stop fucking up TVs with it. Stop accepting any ‘smart’ features and stop calling them smart. They’re invasive advertisement platforms, full fucking stop. It is in fact NOT worth it to get a google TV, because they’ll pull this shit or worse next week. We had perfectly functional TVs for decades before this shit, stop acting like the only choice is to surrender your hardware.
- Comment on Which game is it? 3 weeks ago:
I just spent 20 hours on the demo for the new game roadcraft. I’m just pushing dirt around in a tractor like I’m playing with Tonka trucks back when I was 5. I haven’t really done anything interesting, just leveled dirt. Anyway, ill probably put in another 6 hours today after work.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 5 weeks ago:
Ya I have no doubt him and his gremlins are manipulating stocks. They probably heavily invested in EU MIC like Rheinmetall before starting all the drama that caused it to spike and US MIC to dip. In a week they’ll cash out, buy the dip on Raytheon and suddenly trump publicly reverses a ton of bullshit. Rinse and repeat on all of his drama he starts. These tarrif games are screwing heavily with stock prices too. No doubt they’re making bank with the whiplash they’re causing.
- Comment on Why is there so much separation in the USA between people who identify as "black" or "white" compared to other regions like South America? 5 weeks ago:
Please reread that amendment slowly, word for word. See if you maybe missed something the first time.
- Comment on Kevin Rose, Alexis Ohanian acquire Digg 5 weeks ago:
If he rebooted his first show The Broken, I would watch every second. It was seriously his best work.

- Comment on Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating 1 month ago:
Buying thousands of North Koreans with zero combat experience to attempt to take back land you lost in an invasion that you started… is that what winning looks like?
- Comment on Kroger’s Surveillance Pricing Harms Consumers and Raises Prices, With or Without Facial Recognition. 1 month ago:
So like, if a hundred of us all filed through a store, picked up this one item, then set it back down, it would potentially be cheaper next week?
Is this the new protest instead of not buying from a particular company? Next Kroger you visit, pick up and set down all the nestle products you can find.
- Comment on Yeah, tunafan9000?? 1 month ago:
I’m surprised he didn’t tip on the entrance ramp. Makes me think he dumped his load at some highway construction and had barely started going before this happened
- Comment on ICE Wants to Know If You’re Posting Negative Things About It Online 1 month ago:
I would like to know where I can personally inform them that I am, in fact, posting negative things about their department online. I’ll even send them a fucking link

- Comment on This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store 3 months ago:
My head cannon is that there’s no such thing as a pee fetish, and the entire idea is propped up by the overwhelming sales of synthetic piss from sex shops in order to pass drug tests. Some porn studio marketing team noticed the sales and decided they should fill that niche, but all the viewers are just confused people watching out of shock value.
Basically the war on drugs inadvertently created a massive market where people piss and shit on eachother and think they like it.

More like a whole plate of fake food served up to a table of mannequins and half the restaurants tables are like that. I’d be too creeped out to eat there

It’s the brain worms trying to protect themselves legally from the side effects of having brain worms.

Surprised minecraft isn’t on this list!
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 4 months ago:
Haven and Hearth. It’s apparently a fairly old MMO, and I think I picked it up after it’s mostly dead, but it’s still a bit fun. The low population left in the game honestly might be saving me from grief while still learning the game.
It got the visuals, difficulty, and finality of Zomboid, but more of a rust style game play where you’re just a naked person with rocks and sticks building huts. I still don’t know fully what I’m doing, the goal is still just don’t die.
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 4 months ago:
I’m in the same boat. I’ve made some headway but they weren’t kidding, it’s hard! I’m still struggling on new maps managing my time between building defenses and ramping up industry. I definitely prefer the part after finishing waves where I can relax and perfect my build.
- Comment on Fritz Haber moment 5 months ago:
Heck yeah, the Washington monument in DC is capped with aluminum like how the egyptian pyramids used to be capped with gold, because aluminum used to be a precious metal. (Sure, its a nice lightning rod too) Now it’s so common you can find it in the trash on the side of the road
