sh.itjust.works is awesome. The mods are cool as shit, and as you can tell from the name, there’s no BS censorship.

My conservative neighbor posted something online about the gays “shoving their lifestyle down her throat.” That phrase must be being pushed from Fox News or something.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 week ago:
I wonder if this is the reason why Elon went around Nazi saluting. Republicans have mastered the art of confusing the general public by overusing words and phrases.
“Fake news” used to mean something entirely different before Trump co-opted it to mean any news that he didn’t like.
After Trump was impeached twice, Republicans started throwing around impeachment not only for Biden, but for lower level officials as well, so people would think “oh impeachment must be a normal thing.”
It’s kind of telling that Republicans are doing intentional Nazi-like shit, therefore getting the general public, like the person you responded to, to think that “Nazi” is just a term the left throws around recklessly.
We’re at a point where they’re throwing people in camps like Alligator Auschwitz without trial - and then people say “that’s what the Nazis used to do” and then it just gets laughed off like “oh you know the left, always accusing everyone of being Nazis.”
- Comment on Wyoming to host massive AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combined 1 week ago:
From the article, it sounds like it will eventually use 20x the energy of all the households in Wyoming. That’s pretty fucking nuts.

I never realized the post was making a joke about the OceanGate sub until just now reading another thread.
At the time, June 2023, they were searching for the missing sub and thought they could have 3 days to survive. So OP was probably making a dark humor joke about how to avoid shitting in the sub.
But they were so vague that it had everyone - myself included - speculating on why someone wouldn’t want to shit for that long.

“Turns out there are 319 letters in the alphabet and 16 Rs! When the experts get a hold of this, they’re going to be blown away!”

That’s exactly it. Here’s a quote from what he said during the article. Dude is so uniformed that he thinks AI is doing amazing stuff, but doesn’t understand that experts realize AI is full of shit.
“I pinged Elon on at some point. I’m just like, dude, if I’m doing this and I’m super amateur hour physics enthusiast, like what about all those PhD students and postdocs that are super legit using this tool?” Kalanick said.

Ah gotcha, I was thinking maybe it had to do with the AI Paperclip Problem but I was way off.

What is Operation Paperclip?
- Comment on I meant to do that 3 weeks ago:
I did this a few days ago in accident only to basically pass the person in front of me and then sit in heavy traffic for the next 5 minutes.
I could feel their eyes burning into the back of my head, with them thinking “way to go, asshole, you saved yourself exactly 2 seconds by going around me.”
Cars need an “I’m sorry” emote somehow.
- Comment on Plant Slurs 3 weeks ago:
The average growth rate from 10,000 BCE to 1700 was just 0.04% per year.
Wow that’s crazy to me. I had always envisioned humans steadily spreading and growing constantly. I had no idea that we were basically treading water for so long.

I watched the whole movie thinking it was about COVID. Afterwards, my wife mentioned it was about climate change. I suppose the reality is, we’re just awful at responding to any large threat.
- Comment on Just finished listening to the audiobook of The Martain and got me to thinking. 4 weeks ago:
It’s definitely a tragedy. It has some humor to it, mostly things like poking fun at people who claim that the planet killing asteroid is going to boost the economy.
I think it’s with a watch.

I feel like if the Project Hail Mary crisis happened today, the response would be more like what happened in Don’t Look Up.
- Comment on xkcd #3109: Dehumidifier 5 weeks ago:
My stove won’t preheat, I guess because it’s a safety issue. Apparently you can set a remote start capability ahead of time that gets reset if you open the over door. But I’ve never tried it, since that seems like a lot.
- Comment on xkcd #3109: Dehumidifier 5 weeks ago:
I got new appliances a couple weeks ago and they’re all “smart”. Turns out a smart microwave just sends you a phone notification when it’s done. By default.
As someone with multiple people living in the house, I can confidently say this is the dumbest “smart” feature ever. Promptly disabled.

Still mad that they fucked up KSP2. I realize it was a different studio, but I’m not happy about it.
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 1 month ago:
Which kind of blows my mind. Coal miners should love EVs. There was a story in the news a few years ago about how nice it was for the miners to help someone in an EV, as if they should be mortal enemies.
Non-EV cars don’t run on coal, they run on gasoline. EVs on the other hand can run on coal, natural gas, solar, wind, you name it - and still are more energy efficient than cars burning gasoline. In a sane world, coal miners would be throwing their support behind electric vehicles. The utility companies seem to understand this, but seems like the support hasn’t made its way up the supply chain.

Huh weird. I’ve got an account on .world and if I use that with Sync, posts don’t show get marked as read for me. Wonder what I’m doing wrong.
- Comment on Been a good couple of years 1 month ago:
Really? Do posts show as read for you? Maybe Lemmy.world is still running an old version of Lemmy. Once sh.itjust.works patched to a new version 8 or 9 months ago, Sync became completely unusable for me.

Not gonna lie, it brought a smile to my face when you were sitting in your house on a cool spring day, reading a somewhat plausible but lengthy story about a captivating subject. Then you got a slight suspicion that this story almost seemed too good. Too perfect for the situation. How could this random person on the Internet have such a great story about being a snake charmer, a stunt pilot, or whatever. Then it hits you just like when back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

I’ve been on sh.itjust.works for the last couple of years. The admins are cool as hell. Highly recommend.
