  I don’t think dinosaurs were taking x-rays of beaver tails, my dude. Go read a book sometime.

  I haven’t completed a run in Hades 2 and at this point I’m not sure I will any time soon.

  I’m not really a gamer, but the first Hades just clicked with me. It’s a game I can pick up and just have some fun.

  Hades 2 just isn’t clicking like that. I enjoyed what I’ve played of it, but things are a lot more complicated, just a lot more going on and a lot more to keep track of, and the main character just seems so much weaker or maybe the game is a lot harder in general, I don’t know. Either way, it hasn’t drawn me in. Hoping it will one day, and perhaps coming out of beta will help on that front.

  In a way, I’m glad you mentioned it.

  In another way, it’s really sad that the state of affairs on Lemmy is such that anyone would feel the need to have to explicitly state that as though the headline / title wasn’t clear enough. Like I know it’s an international Fediverse and not everyone is fully fluent in English, but on the other hand, some people do legitimately have reading comprehension issues and a desire to dump some rage on random folks on the internet.

  Some men were avoiding the covid vaccines specifically because they believed it makes men sterile. As one of my neighbors said in reference to a family down the road who lost two adult sons (and cited sterility as the reason they didn’t want to get vaccinated), “They definitely aren’t having any kids now.”

  If you’re applying for a management job, it works a lot better if you send a photo of your gaping asshole instead that way they know they’ll be getting their money’s worth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brad buys a house⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For a solid few years, the signature on my driver’s license did not match the signature that I use to sign things nor did it match my normal handwriting.

  This is because the small town, fascist, dick cheese of a police officer who was handling my renewal decided he didn’t like my signature. So, he told me I had to sign the thing with a legible (to him) signature. After redoing the signature multiple times and having him reject it each time, I finally signed it like I was trying out for the Olympic handwriting team. He accepted that one.

  Like what even is the point of this exercise besides just being a giant festering asshole? Fortunately the signature mismatch was never an issue because it’s such and unimportant and useless detail that almost nobody cares when they check your license.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gaming⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A million years ago in gamer years, a buddy of mine and I were playing an online coop game of Castle Crashers (I think, it’s been awhile, might’ve actually been something else). Neither of us are really “gamers” and definitely not online gamers, we just thought it was cool you could play with random people. Also, we were drinking alcohol that night, so the best decisions were not made.

  Long story short: We did not realize that there was voice chat in the co-op of this game. So, we were basically drunk assholes, playing horribly, and talking about a bunch of inappropriate and very personal topics. At different points in the evening, we both joked that we had this sense that the other player(s) were trying to communicate with us and once or twice we were like, it’s almost like they can hear us.

  Then as we were winding down for the night, I hit some button randomly that enabled the audio feed in for voice chat, and the words coming out of that child’s mouth on the other end would have made a whore blush. I guess they could hear every word we said throughout the night, maybe the mic on my laptop was enabled by default, or maybe someone hit the wrong button at some point. I felt kinda bad, we definitely talked about age inappropriate stuff and I know at points it must’ve seemed like we were trolling the other players.

  So, if that was you about 10 - 15 years ago, I’m sorry. I didn’t say the N-word, use any slurs, or trash talk any minorities, although as gay dudes it might’ve sounded like we were homophobes. I dunno. It’s been a long time. But I’m still sorry.

  What the hell is their fascination with raw milk?

  Where I live in the USA, it’s become a trendy thing amongst rural conservatives. If someone is talking about how they switched to raw milk, it’s almost a guarantee they are MAGA supporters. Which is wild, because when I was growing up, it was almost the complete opposite. Raw milk was a “hippy” thing for fringe, counter-culture liberals.

  My clearly biased opinion is that in this part of the US, drinking raw milk is at least partially a way to virtue signal and participate in the counter-culture. And when you think about it, drinking raw milk kind of actually makes sense in this context. It appeals to a lot of conservatives’ cultural beliefs – anti-science / mistrust of science, “rules for thee but not for me”, and appeal to convention. Scientists are wrong. Nobody can tell me what I’m allowed to do. People drank raw milk for thousands of years and survived just fine.

  Speculative opinion aside: The people I’ve met over the years who seek out raw milk have mentioned a number of different reasons.

  Some say it tastes better than pasteurized milk. Some claim that raw milk is more nutritious than pasteurized because the heating process destroys or binds proteins, vitamins, immunity boosting components, etc in milk. Some do it because it’s quicker or cheaper than a trip to the store (because they know the farmer, farmer lives close or delivers because farm is a friend/family member), and they’re supporting local producers instead of giant conglomerates. Also, pretty uniformly, they’ll claim that with modern practices, there’s very little risk of getting sick if you’re careful, and not riskier than buying pasteurized stuff from the store.

  And let me explicitly state this because some people on Lemmy seem to have reading comprehension issues: These are not my opinions and I’m not saying they are accurate, I do not drink raw milk, and I don’t condone it, particularly if you’re feeding it to unsuspecting people and children.

  Anecdotally, it seems like a good solid chunk of these folks eventually get sick enough or frequently enough from drinking raw milk that it’s very common to find out 4 or 5 years down the line that they no longer drink raw milk. And that’s just the ones who admit it, because I would not be surprised if it’s even more common than I think – a lot of people are too stubborn to switch back or too prideful to admit they were wrong.

  I didn’t see a link, but I’m wondering if the etymology mentions the words shitify and shitification which, at least in my personal experience, pre-date the term enshitification by a decade or two.

  Honey, this vegan cheese smells exquisite, nutty notes with eggy undertones and a cloying bile-like putrescent sheen with a, is that bacon, yes a bacon finish. Amazing how far food technology has come.

  What if I cook them in the air fryer instead of in oil and let them cool down first? When I talked to my doctor, he seemed to indicate it was a good compromise as long as I stick with organic ingredients.

  I’ve seen enough Jurassic Park franchise movies to know that at least some dinosaurs had bills.

  This reminds me, I need to find a new dentist.

  The current one seems to be a big fan of Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors. I literally have PTSD from my last 2 visits, the pain was so bad. And I seemingly have a very high pain tolerance level, or so I’m told, which ought to tell you something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hit him with the toadstool chair!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing forest bugs don’t see a whole lot of black widow action.

  At least my anecdotal experience, black widows seem to prefer hidden spaces in otherwise open areas like anywhere near a home, a pile of rocks in the middle of a field, and places like that.

  Not that forest bugs can’t leave the forest and black widows can’t thrive in forested areas, just that these two things seem to be mostly mutually exclusive in modern life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never get a tattoo when you are drunk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Milk, sugar, cream, natural and/or artificial flavors. Plus, if you’re getting anything fancier, like the kind with chunks of random foods or ribbons of corn syrup byproducts, that’s extra.

  The thing is, at least in the USA at this time, milk and especially cream are historically quite expensive. So, that’s gonna reflect in a product like ice cream that’s majority milk and cream.

  So on one hand, GOOD ice cream is pretty expensive. But there’s also the stuff that’s basically high fructose corn syrup mixed with watery milk byproduct plus a pinch of gumming agent then whipped with air and frozen, sold in 1/2 gallon containers but only contains 10 ounces. Those can often be had relatively cheap if you buy them on sale and you don’t really care what ice cream is supposed to taste like.

  This is where famotidine shines. One itsy-bitsy pill right before or right after I eat something that tends to give me heartburn and I’m all good for the night.

  My biggest issue is I have a heat-tooth, but my internal anatomy feels otherwise. And there’s no common over the counter pill that I’m aware of that’s useful for appeasing a small intestine that wants me dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I might have to consider it. On the one hand, I did get to a point in Hollow Knight where I just wasn’t enjoying it anymore so I never finished it. But at $20 for a brand new game, I’ll consider it. Unfortunately I have a backlog right now, but overall things just aren’t working out for me and my gaming time.
