  I’m getting because it’s a process in which you need to show a valid ticket of travel (or buy it) while boarding.

  Has anyone used a bidet? Someone in this thread got me curious. Why are they so highly rated?

  I was going to say are you sure you mistyped bidets instead of something else, and then you really rounded it off with bidets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"A hill I'm willing to die on" is a weird phrase for what it means.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Quite a few idioms like ‘You dodged a bullet’ or ‘I’m laying low.’ have originated from military in general.

  That was one of the best I’ve ever read, made me laugh out loud ‘swamps of dagobah’ bahahaha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Patents Buttonless Adaptive Controller With Customizable Layouts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine mashing your thumb against a hard flat surface for two hours. This is only doable if the controller is wrapped in something rubber-like, and some way of providing tactile button press feedback. In my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was chatting to someone about building my ‘mid’ gaming pc, we got chatting about RAM and I said I’ve got 16GB set up. His reaction was ‘only 16 gig?’

  Well yeah, my OS is only using 16% of it at startup compared to you know what.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Darth Vader was NOT a bad person⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He strove for power and renown. Points 1-3 didn’t trigger him, they were excuses to become the evil he was fated to become.

  He had his redemption arc but that was something like when he was in his 40s or 50s and reaching the twilight of his life, and knowing that Luke may well kill and replace him. Seeing Luke sacrifice himself instead, moved what little good (or more accurately, moral principles) was left in Anakin.

  In terms of alignment, Anakin was always Lawful Evil imo. My interpretation is that he was swayed by the strength of Luke’s adherence to the light side and his almost complete sacrifice. I don’t think it was really motivated by love.

  Oh that’s actually funnily enough the most applicable 2nd person mechanic.

  Student in my physics class: ‘How much energy does it take to kill a person?’

  ‘Ok, assuming falling from 25 meters results in 100% death rate…’

  Morbid I know…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We live in alien zoo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What we are witnessing is the near-complete isolation of the soul from the truth of everything. We are at the densest stage of evolution, stuck in material bodies and unable to look beyond them. What we see today is the perfect manifestation of it. We will live and die with so much understanding of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stupid sexy raft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s ironic, by trying to get them to hate each other he accidentally became something for all of them to rally against.

  Like reverse Stockholm syndrome.

  Kanji and Hanzi belong to logograms and are not 100% phonetically indicative.

  This is probably one of the most genuine showerthoughts I’ve seen in a while. (insert meme of man and woman in bed: woman reckons he’s thinking about other women)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taking a photo to remember a moment is actually outsourcing that memory to an image, so your brain does less work and remembers it worse.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is actually scientifically proven, you sure you weren’t just recalling a tidbit from the news cycle a while back? Heh.

  I think my 8th grade kids would find this funny while we are learning about cellular respiration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone has died and it is by sleeping⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is something different on that plane but no, it’s not death. Search ‘astral body’ and go from there. Or read the Tibetan Book of the Dead for a general breakdown of dying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While I disagree with identifying the working class with ‘chav’, the origin of the word did start very much in classism and stereotyping (hence my deep disagreement with the term). A pretty good analysis in this article: eathealthy365.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-chav-i…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The commenter said ‘soaking up benefits’, I don’t think the working class people would be looking like ‘chavs’ because many of them are going to and from work in uniform. Plus, you’re essentially equating all working class people with chavs? So walking into a Tescos, every member of staff is a chav?

  Isn’t that how public shared companies supposed to work? /s

  I only see maths as really examinable, but other forms of knowledge should be garnered from experience, such as using a microscope and identifying cells, etc.
