That’s not clickbait, that’s you trying hard to be a pedantic ass.
- Comment on What if the moon turned into a black hole? 7 hours ago:
Also, the idea of Randall Munroe of XKCD having to resort to clickbait is hilarious. He’s gotta be in the top 10 most famous scientists alive.

The series is named ‘What If’, not ‘How Could’.

- Comment on Netflix Says 50 Percent of Global Users Now Watch Anime, Reveals Expanded Slate 23 hours ago:
Deep plots are nice, unfortunately they keep getting cut every couple seasons, so nobody wants to get invested
- Comment on Get Your Filthy ChatGPT Away From My Liberal Arts 1 day ago:
It’s amazing how bad the quality of the writing is, for an article that’s complaining about ChatGPT.
- Comment on Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all 3 days ago:
It’s not a hot take, it’s fine to dislike popular games for personal reasons. You’re not calling it a horrible game, it just didn’t click for you.
- Comment on [Opinion] Europe Puts Social Programs on Chopping Block to Appease Trump on NATO Funding 4 days ago:
Right, the page was made after the paper. I don’t get your point, though. This is all in response to trump being an idiot? I feel like we agree on that point
- Comment on [Opinion] Europe Puts Social Programs on Chopping Block to Appease Trump on NATO Funding 4 days ago:
? The page talks about events in June, which means it was written in the past couple of weeks. How is it not part and parcel of current events?
- Comment on [Opinion] Europe Puts Social Programs on Chopping Block to Appease Trump on NATO Funding 4 days ago:
Are you claiming that 100% of their defense budget is going to the US? If that’s the case then I’ll agree with you
- Comment on [Opinion] Europe Puts Social Programs on Chopping Block to Appease Trump on NATO Funding 4 days ago:
EU lacks production capacity, so they are entirely dependent on foreign powers
How else would they increase local production capacity, though? I’m sure some of the spending is going towards local producers
- Comment on [Opinion] Europe Puts Social Programs on Chopping Block to Appease Trump on NATO Funding 4 days ago:
This is dumb. European leaders aren’t doing it to please trump, they’re doing it because the US has become an unreliable ally and they need to become self sufficient in defense now.
- Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling? 5 days ago:
Ah, not lemmy, you’re talking about the rest of the fediverse. Gotcha
- Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling? 5 days ago:
Haven’t seen anything like that myself, which instance admin are you referring to?
- Comment on It’s too easy to make AI chatbots lie about health information, study finds 6 days ago:
It’s not ‘lying’ when they don’t know the truth to begin with. They could be trying to answer accurately and it’d still be dangerous misinformation.
- Comment on Is there really anything stopping an evil government from just poisoning the water supply to commit a massacre/genocide/ethnic-clensing? 1 week ago:
You’ll have to excuse them, they grew up drinking flouridated water.
- Comment on Netflix teams up with NASA to show live rocket launches and spacewalks 1 week ago:
So space launches will run for another two years before being permanently cancelled?
- Comment on xkcd #3109: Dehumidifier 1 week ago:
Just use a smart timer with a dehumidifier that either doesn’t have a switch, or has an analog one that can stay in the on position when power is off
- Comment on China New Internet ID System a Threat to Online Expression: Netizens will require IDs to go on the internet. For now this is voluntary, but there are signs it will not remain that way for long. 1 week ago:
That sounds like a you problem, not a them problem, as far as they’re concerned
- Comment on Judge backs AI firm over use of copyrighted books 1 week ago:
Funny, there’s a lot of people on lemmy itself (especially around dbzer0) who would agree with the judge wholeheartedly.
- Comment on BBC is Getting a Paywall. 1 week ago:
What’s defaultism here?
- Comment on I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount 3 weeks ago:
IDK about that, the Saudis have like a million units sitting in a warehouse somewhere.
- Comment on Away Team (Oxygen Not Included Spinoff) Announcement Trailer 3 weeks ago:
It’s not me wanting everything. It’s me not wanting fucking MTX and FOMO mechanics in games I paid for.
- Comment on Away Team (Oxygen Not Included Spinoff) Announcement Trailer 3 weeks ago:
I wasn’t referring to the DLC, I was referring to their login bonus cosmetic skins, and trying to sell me paid cosmetics in a game that I already paid for.
I loved the game, but fuck tencent, and klei for selling out
- Comment on Away Team (Oxygen Not Included Spinoff) Announcement Trailer 3 weeks ago:
Given how much ONI in the past couple years leaned in to the MTX plaque, I’m staying away from this one.
- Comment on Chemistry is weird 3 weeks ago:
Idk, I quite like O on its own. Pretty addictive stuff
- Comment on Disney and Universal Sue A.I. Firm for Copyright Infringement 3 weeks ago:
We actually don’t. This won’t kill AI, this will mean only conglomerates like Disney can own AI.
- Comment on Difference 4 weeks ago:
Given NJM’s comment I can fully understand his downvoting. People can disagree with your comment for more than one reason.
- Comment on [Opinion] We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 4 weeks ago:
This has nothing to do with republicans. The fucking up of NASA was very much a bipartisan effort
- Comment on Besides mod logs, is there a better way for the Fediverse to keep track of malicious actors, such as Kiwi farms members and genocide deniers? 4 weeks ago:
Not sure how much you’d want to trust his list. During the Luigi incident many users were instance banned simply for supporting Luigi, and the bans stand to this day.
- Comment on [Opinion] We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 4 weeks ago:
It’s a dumb argument. SpaceX flourished because NASA is being destroyed by incompetent political overseers who can’t follow a long term plan to save their lives (or avoid feeding at the trough). Nationalising SpaceX would just give the idiots screwing NASA even more to screw over. Elon’s an asshole, but I’d rather not see the space program go on pause for the next fifty years. Again.
