- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 10 hours ago:
Dude. Sports is literally everywhere. It doesn’t need to reach its greedy tendrils into yet another corner of society.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 2 days ago:
I had to look it up. Apparently it’s cloth, sealed with beeswax. I wonder how you’re supposed to clean it.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 2 days ago:
Preferred but not listed: twist tie. Superior to the clip and usually not plastic but instead thin wire and paper.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 2 days ago:
A slip-knot works too, if there’s enough bag length to pull it off. I don’t get the bread box option, there’s too much sure exposure, it’s gonna make your bread go stale.
- Comment on Chrome using Gemini Nano for ‘Enhanced Protection’ against scams 2 days ago:
Using a scam to detect scams so that they can scam you better themselves. Lovely. I’m so glad I don’t use Chrome.
- Comment on People have private conversations on speaker phone but if I participate then I'm the crazy one 2 days ago:
Oh well absolutely join into a conversation on speakerphone. The point is to piss them off so that they’ll correct their behavior.
“I agree, it is annoying to have people being loud and obnoxious when you’d rather they leave you alone. But if you’re going to keep doing it then I’m going to keep joining in.”
- Comment on Inappropriate Ads on Child-Directed Websites: Weight Loss Pills and Depression Tests for Kids. 2 days ago:
The entire idea of ads on child media is insane and always has been. That child has no money and has no idea how to make decisions about things like purchases more complicated than “I want this shiny or tasty thing” or “all the cool kids have one.”
- Comment on How are roundabouts made? 2 days ago:
Typically with concrete or asphalt.
- Comment on Hacking Lemmy 2 days ago:
Silly cat, you’re an obligate carnivore; you can’t eat beans.
- Comment on Congress moves to cut off states' AI regulations: House Republicans advanced a 10-year moratorium on state AI rules. 2 days ago:
Like most types of conservatives, they only care about that shit when it suits their purposes.
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 2 days ago:
What the hell did they even need a house that size for? They look like empty nesters, which means they don’t need that size of a house. They want that size of a house. Since it’s an investment at this point, and they had that monster reassessed at a ridiculous price, they’re better off just selling it and moving somewhere cheap. Well, cheaper.
- Comment on Peculiar 2 days ago:
If by floating they mean indulging in false advertisement, then they sure are.
I have never received a sub at a Subway that looks that good.
- Comment on Grok’s “white genocide” obsession came from “unauthorized” prompt edit, xAI says 2 days ago:
Translation: of course they’re not going to admit that Elon did it.

Here’s a handy guide to help.
- Comment on Trump officials reportedly consider TV gameshow with US citizenship as prize 2 days ago:
Yeah this is that sociopath Christy Nome. Out of all of the evil monsters in the administration, she’s the worst of them. Worse even than Steven Miller, which is impressive because that guy literally has no soul. No lights on behind those eyes. You seen that clip of him turning off his fake smile on camera? I’m not even sure he’s human.
- Comment on Why are parents so obsessed with the idea of their kids "settling down"? 2 days ago:
Probably they see their kids as an investment and want to see dividends in the form of A, grandchildren and/or B, financial support in their old age. In that regard it’s inherently selfish. At least justifiably so, but still.
- Comment on Microsoft pulls MS365 Business Premium from nonprofits 2 days ago:
Especially when you can use literally any other word process and program and save in Microsoft document formats.
- Comment on Apple blocks Fortnite's return to iPhone in US 2 days ago:
Honestly, I maintain the ancient line of if you’re playing games on Apple you’re doing it wrong. Apple is not a gaming platform. That said, Fortnite sucks so meh.
- Comment on Microsoft shuts down email account of International Criminal Court chief prosecutor 2 days ago:
Now he’s got an excuse to get an actual good email, at least.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 2 days ago:

My fiance is 5’ tall. I’m going to literally explode.
- Comment on Lemmy seems to have an LLM issue 1 week ago:
I have to stop and ask myself which kind of LLM people are referring to every time I see it said online.
- Comment on Elk could return to UK after 3,000 years in new rewilding plan 1 week ago:
I hope they remember to reintroduce wolves too. Otherwise they’re going to learn an important lesson about balancing ecosystems, like we did here in America. We have to call the deer herds occasionally, they will strip the bark off of every tree in the area if you let them.
- Comment on ‘Massive’ increase in pensioner shoplifters in past year 1 week ago:
Good for them. If the most vulnerable can’t afford to live, fuck the corps and government.
- Comment on Uncultured 1 week ago:
Those are shoe laces. They help keep your shoes on your feet.
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 1 week ago:
Yeah I’ve bought my last Samsung. These over-redesigned UIs that nobody asked for piss me off. If I wanted ugly Apple trash I’d buy ugly Apple trash.
- Comment on How can you tell 23 subgenres of equally shitty growls and screams apart, but not see the most Metal basics? 1 week ago:
Hey don’t knock the metal itself. It actually requires people to know how to play instruments and sing. Unlike some rap I might mention.
- Comment on Nintendo is Trying to Stop You From Filing Lawsuits Against Them With New EULA Amendment 1 week ago:
They’re basically there to reduce lawsuits, not prevent them.
