Some of them are alright, but I have no idea that they were thinking when some of the new ones got approved.
- Comment on It took years to come up with a plan to cut road deaths, and just 11 days to kill it 11 hours ago:
People always overestimate how much time they save when driving faster.
If you were travelling 100km at 100km/h it would take you and hour to get to your destination.
At 80km/h it would take you 1h15m.
If you were travelling half that distance you would only be saving 8 minutes.
Y’all want to risk dying to save maybe 8 minutes? It’s not only your driving you need to worry about, it’s other people on the road.
- Comment on Meta tolerates rampant ad fraud from China to safeguard billions in revenue 5 days ago:
Amazon also endorses fraud. Found a product which had a blatant lie in the description and specification pages but do you think I can find the report product button? Absolutely no where to be found.
- Comment on Data centers need electricity, utilities need years to build – who should pay? 6 days ago:
Why raise residential tares and not commercial / industrial rates?
Oh, because businesses are subsidizes through taxes. Of course.
- Comment on Stack Overflow Rolls Out Native Ads in Q&A Feeds for Funding Boost 1 week ago:
I really hate the term native ad. It makes it sound like it isn’t the worst thing ever invented.
It should instead be called invasive ads or undercover ads.
- Comment on Pebble maker announces Index 01, a smart-ish ring for under $100 1 week ago:
There’s no guarantee they will even be around to recycle the rings in two years time. The way tech companies are going these days it’s probably not very likely.

They have vibe journalists now
- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 2 weeks ago:
Why don’t you just call NFL foot ball, soccer? No one else wants to use the name soccer so it’s sort of free.
- Comment on South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage 2 weeks ago:
I don’t even understand why you would have them anywhere inside. I have a few outside to warn of movement and stuff outdoors and trigger alarms at certain times but I would never put them inside my house. Already having them outside triggers by paranoia about being watched.
- Comment on The phrase "edited it" is soo weird to pronounce 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on heads up! 2 weeks ago:
Our butt is connected to our head, just with a really long tube. Shorten the tube enough and your butter would also be in your head.
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 3 weeks ago:
He probably thinks he works 80 hour weeks because he is including schmoozing with clients and company paid lunches and dinners as “work”

Who decides who gets to wear the black hat? What if some random bloke goes out and wears one?
- Comment on YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes 3 weeks ago:
I’m always terrified to write stuff off because I fear I will accidentally write something off that I’m not really allowed to due to some obscure legalese and then I will get audited in 5 five years and owe 10 grand in late fees and interest or some shit.
- Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026 3 weeks ago:
Whelp guess I’m not upgrading my PC to ddr5 anytime soon 😂
- Comment on Amazing 3 weeks ago:
No, whenever Trump is president years suddenly have 25 months in them. It did apply in 2020 but the phenomenon is back again.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m curious what a human brain would be like growing into being with absolutely no senses to inform itself about the world around it.
No sight to let it know where it is or what it is.
No sound to let it learn to communicate and think in orderly ways.
No touch.
No taste.
No ability to interact with its surroundings.
Yet all of the capability and potential of a regular person’s mind.
Would it be cruel to bring it into existence? Would it be able to experience negativity and pain and longing, confusion?

- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 4 weeks ago:
If I want AI for whatever reason I will go search for AI. I don’t need a chatgot like service running on my PC all the time for the handful of times I might want to use it. I will go to chatgpt if I need to use it for something.
- Comment on YSK about the French Republican Calendar 4 weeks ago:
Yes I would also love a new calendar. But we can hardly come to consensus on getting rid of daylight savings time let alone a new calendar lol.
- Comment on YSK about the French Republican Calendar 4 weeks ago:
I don’t see why it sucks, it just makes sense to start it on the winter solstice as the days start to get longer and longer / shorter and shorter depending on the hemisphere you are in
- Comment on YSK about the French Republican Calendar 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t mind 6 days on 4 days off
- Comment on YSK about the French Republican Calendar 4 weeks ago:
Eh fuck religions, they can keep their old antiquated calenders.
- Comment on YSK about the French Republican Calendar 4 weeks ago:
I would like this calender but we would need to adjust it so that new years falls on the winter solstice.
Plus the 5 leap days would need to be a global celebration / holiday period, and the 6th day every 4 years a massive holiday.
- Comment on YSK about the French Republican Calendar 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t mind a 10 day week if it meant work 6 and then get a 4 day weekend.
But who am I kidding our corporate overlords would expect at least 8 on and 2 off

- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think a content provider should be allowed to have more than 5-10% of their content be advertisements.
Website screen space, newspapers, tv channels, etc
Instagram shouldn’t have more than 1-2 sponsored post for every 20 posts. At the moment it seems closer to 10.
An hour long TV slot shouldn’t have more than 3-6 minutes of advertisement. At the moment it’s closer to 20-30.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 5 weeks ago:
Windows has had a bug that’s driven me mad since before Windows 10 and it doesn’t seem they have any intentention to fix it.
When I try to rename files, I always click somewhere in the text of the name or highlight a specific portion, and then 90% of the time RIGHT before I start typing to add or change the name, it randomly highlights the entire thing so the whole text gets replaced instead of the one section I wanted to change.
INFURIATING and it’s been years that it’s happened, between two different versions of Windows!
There’s also another 2 or 3 other bugs that are just as infuriating but I don’t imagine will ever be fixed or changed because why the fuck would windows care.
