I vaguely remember reading that naked mole rat colonies do something similar. They have a piss room that they all use and they'll make sure to roll around in it to get themselves coated in the smell. If they come across any other naked mole rats in the wild and they smell like different pee, they'll know they've run into a sworn enemy and fight
- Comment on TikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda Mill 4 days ago:
How does this work for countries outside of the US? Will Canadian and European TikTok get the propaganda too or will the US version be self contained?
- Comment on PSA: In case you were experiencing problems with feddit.org, this is because a post from feddit reached the front page of Hacker News. 1 week ago:
I hate that it needs repeatedly saying, but its not. Its just based in Germany which has very draconian speech laws relating to Israel and the admins don't want to be arrested

There are some tools that can make Linux feel more like at home too for those who want to transition slowly

- Comment on I got hooked on browsing openalternative.co is "Most Popular" list 1 week ago:
Less Microsoft and a native UI. Microsoft is already making it hard to use alternative releases of VSCode like Codium by restricting them from using their extension marketplace and things like Pylance (their newer more advanced Python LSP). Try to even download a .vsix extension from Microsoft's site - you can't because they don't offer the ability to anymore without VSCode
Zed also openly integrates with LSP so you can use servers like basedpyright and get a more featurefull editor than Code
- Comment on I got hooked on browsing openalternative.co is "Most Popular" list 1 week ago:
Number 1 is Zed but it's not actually an "AI editor", they're just leaning into it a bit for funding. Its a fully open source Rust editor made by the former Atom developers and I highly recommend it as a replacement for Microsoft's VSCode. On first startup, they offer you the option to fully disable any AI features

- Comment on gaming console 2 weeks ago:
Correct lol. It was a joke(?) that I remember being made a lot in online fights over whether the PS3 or Xbox 360 was better
- Comment on gaming console 2 weeks ago:
Why do they call it the Xbox 360? Because when you see it you turn 360° and walk away

- Comment on Left 4 Dead creator teasing new four player co-op shooter 3 weeks ago:
I did enjoy it but I only maybe put 10 hours into it or so. I think it tried to be more than L4D with all the perks/cards or whatever but IMO people just want a zombie survival game you can spontaneously jump in and out of with some friends

Is Taco Bell way worse in the US compared to Canada? I've never gotten sick from it here

- Comment on My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks? 3 weeks ago:
It sounds very American

Hahaha it was The Show in Byward. I love clubs but that one ain't it for me. I'd rather be at City at Night

I was once in a club where it was just a big room with some urinals and toilets. No dividers or walls anywhere to be seen. I have never been back to that club

- Comment on Deal to get ChatGPT Plus for whole of UK discussed by Open AI boss and minister 4 weeks ago:
Wtf? Are they going to get an Amazon Prime subscription for everyone as well? If its that important to them that everyone have full access to an LLM then why not host one nationally that people can use

- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 4 weeks ago:
I'm a Millennial/GenZ cusper and I think its just the desire to go back to a simpler analogue lifestyle. I've also bought a few cassettes from concerts at times when I couldn't carry around a full vinyl the rest of the night

The whole concept of sororities and fraternities is so weird to me
- Comment on Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed? 5 weeks ago:
I'm not European but I am Canadian and I don't know if Americans realise how annoying it is that any general community like "politics" or "news" is specifically American as per the rules. I was really hoping we'd leave the US defaultism behind on Reddit
- Comment on Jokes on you, I don't want to work 1 month ago:
My current job had me pretty much interview with every member of my now team. It was insane and I'm happy I didn't have to do it while unemployed and desperately searching. I can't imagine going through that repeatedly
