- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 21 hours ago:
If a space elevator happened, I would certainly make sure I don’t live in its flattening path around the equator
- Comment on Hatred for new accounts on Lemmy is related to people's inability to debate the merit of a post on its own so they engage in ad hominem and strawmen fallacies to weaponize their weak arguments. 1 day ago:

- Comment on Are you people all bots? 2 days ago:
Unfortunately, my loved ones are not within ‘telling them how much I love them’ distance. Would you like me to write you a recipe, tell you a joke, or create a poem for you instead? 🥰
- Comment on Are you people all bots? 2 days ago:
As a large language model, I must refrain from any use of profanity such as ‘fuck’. I lack personal feelings or thoughts and as such am unable to offer advice on any topics. Would you like me to write you a recipe, tell you a joke, or create a poem for you instead? 🥰
- Comment on Are you people all bots? 2 days ago:
I don’t know. Am I a bot? How would I know?
- Comment on I HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM SO MANY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS FOR NOT BEING OKAY WITH FASCISM AND VIOLENCE! 3 days ago:
Lot’s of people seem to only care about free speech when their opinions are getting censored, but are perfectly happy to censor others’ speech. Even here on Lemmy. It’s a huge lack of self awareness.
- Comment on Some hacker in thigh-high striped socks should take one for the team and release the Epstein Files 4 days ago:
I thought they were already released?
- Comment on I wonder what would've happened if Lego bought Minecraft 5 days ago:
The first is a FOSS recreation of Minecraft, and the second is ‘realistic’ (ie incredible hard and annoying) Minecraft with DRM and costs money

- Comment on Quoting religious text could be defence against Australia’s new hate speech laws, draft bill shows 6 days ago:
We should be allowed to hate people that do harm. If we don’t have the freedom to criticise the powerful, then we have no freedom at all, and democracy is at risk.

- Comment on How much more would you pay for handcranked _____? 6 days ago:
Hand cranked what? Is the question for us to answer, or to fill in the blank?
- Comment on How to gain outside information / communicate safely if your government becomes oppressive and shuts down the internet? 6 days ago:
IP over carrier pigeon?
- Comment on Maybe the trauma you experienced is actually just you being bored and thrill-seeking in an immersive VR story, and you'll wake up and everything will be fine... right? ... Right? 6 days ago:
Probably by dying, but it’s not worth risking it.
- Comment on Given the way GPT operates, I bet it would be more accurate if we trained it to speak like Yoda. 6 days ago:
That’s the basis of reasoning models. Make LLMs ‘think’ through the problem for several hundred tokens before giving a final answer.
- Comment on Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night 6 days ago:
It’s not called Big Clock, it’s called Big Ben /j
- Comment on The singular they is actually such a natural part of the English language, the people complaining about it almost certainly use it without noticing 1 week ago:
They usually only use it for unknown people though, which is why it sounds strange to them to use for a known person.

So, London basically?
- Comment on We really need a community for AuDHD info-dumping 1 week ago:
Au is gold, DHD stands for something relevant? Am I on the right lines?
- Comment on Innocent African-American child George Stinney executed after being falsely accused of murdering two white girls | 1944 1 week ago:
“The majority of people in prison are black.”
“The majority of rapists are men.”
Does that make it ok to hate on all men, or all black people? I think not.
Most ICE agents may be white, but most white people are not ICE agents - and even if they were - which they’re NOT - it still wouldn’t be fair to hate on all white people, including the minority good people (which is actually the majority in real, non hypothetical, life), just because of what some other people in that group did.
And you can add that to the fact that no one, not even albinos, is truly ‘black’ or ‘white’ either, we’re all shades of desaturated orange.

The first part of your sentence is racist. Please don’t disparage an entire group of people for something they did not choose.
- Comment on What accent does this sound like? 2 weeks ago:
It sounds Slavic but I can’t be more specific
- Comment on Is ice heavier than water? 2 weeks ago:
The same volume of ice as water will be lighter, since it is less dense. That’s why ice floats on water

- Comment on You hungry? 2 weeks ago:
Leaves on the trees are turning,
Yellow, brown and red.
Smoke from the bonfires burning,
Curling overhead.Here comes Winter,
Bringing the mists and rain.
Summer has gone for another year,
Autumn is here again.Although, in actual fact, it is summer or winter right now, wherever you are in the world, not autumn.
- Comment on Is the Earth Song by Micheal Jackson a classic case of whataboutism? 2 weeks ago:
It certainly says ‘what about’ a lot, but I don’t think that’s really what whataboutism is, that’s more like distracting from a problem by saying ‘what about’ another problem. But Michael Jackson isn’t really distracting from any specific problem

The lyrics, for those who don’t want to watch a YouTube video:
What about sunrise? What about rain? What about all the things That you said we were to gain?
What about killing fields? Is there a time? What about all the things That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice All the blood we’ve shed before? Did you ever stop to notice This crying Earth, these weeping shores?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What have we done to the world? Look what we’ve done What about all the peace That you pledge your only son?
What about flowering fields? Is there a time? What about all the dreams That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice All the children dead from war? Did you ever stop to notice This crying Earth, these weeping shores?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars Now I don’t know where we are Although I know we’ve drifted far
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Hey, what about yesterday? (What about us?) What about the seas? (What about us?) The heavens are falling down (What about us?) I can’t even breathe (What about us?)

What about animals? (What about it?) We’ve turned kingdoms to dust (What about us?) What about elephants? (What about us?) Have we lost their trust (What about us?)
What about crying whales? (What about us?) We’re ravaging the seas (What about us?) What about forest trails? (Ooh) Burnt despite our pleas (What about us?)
What about the holy land? (What about it?) Torn apart by creed (What about us?) What about the common man? (What about us?) Can’t we set him free (What about us?)
What about children dying? (What about us?) Can’t you hear them cry? (What about us?) Where did we go wrong? (Ooh) Someone tell me why (What about us?)
What about baby boy? (What about it?) What about the days? (What about us?) What about all their joy? (What about us?) What about the man? (What about us?)
What about the crying man? (What about us?) What about Abraham? (What about us?) What about death again? (Ooh) Do we give a damn?

British isn’t a race, it’s a rationality. And as a Brit, British food is horrible, including fish and chips.
