  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 ⁨week⁩ 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.

  Glad to be of assistance, homie

  Lol one of the comments was:

  first day on lemmy, and this is the shit i see right off the bat. I found my reddit replacement.

  I felt exactly the same way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been a good couple of years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lack of sports content is a bit of a rough spot for Lemmy. This is one of the few places where Linux memes get substantially more engagement than a super bowl thread.

  Side note, the superb owl community here is pretty great.

  Lol same here. Jesus that whole site is atrocious now.

  Someone else suggested saying when all the 3rd party API supported apps stopped working - but there’s only so much room on a meme text box, ya know?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been a good couple of years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember 2 years ago trying out Lemmy and getting a few laughs about beans and trying not to poop. I thought “this is ok, but I don’t think this will ever replace Reddit in my day to day.”

  But I stuck with it and have come to love and appreciate Lemmy. The number of users has continued to grow and I feel like there’s enough content here now that I never feel bored. Plus I feel like even small posts and comments get attention and we’re not just screaming into the void.

  So happy cake day to all who did the same thing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don't have⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol had to look this up because it’s complicated.

  flo.health/pregnancy/…/how-long-is-pregnancy

  “Ovulation [when an egg is released from your ovaries ready for fertilization] typically takes place around two weeks after the first day of your last period, and this is when a baby would be conceived. But because you won’t know that you’re pregnant until you’ve missed your next period, approximately two weeks later, you’ll already be four weeks pregnant when you get your positive test result. At that point, you’ll have approximately 36 more weeks to go,” Dr. Celestine says.

  So pregnancies typically last 10 months, but we say 9 months since you don’t even know you’re pregnant until you’re 4 weeks pregnant. But anti-abortion laws still count that 4 weeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don't have⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But doesn’t the 9 months of pregnancy technically start on the first day since a woman’s last period? That’s what makes anti-abortion laws even more absurd, because you can be 8 weeks pregnant if you only had sex 5 weeks ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Living a lie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always a shock to me when I interact with someone providing customer service that is t using a customer service voice.

  I was checking into a hotel (a large chain too) a while back and the person checking me in was having some trouble. She goes “sorry, this system is just retarded some times.”

  I actually laughed out loud because it caught me so off guard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFFFFUUUUUUUU⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember legitimately thinking rage comics were hilarious back in like 2012. Now I look at them like “wtf was I thinking?”

  I can’t even blame it on being young. I was in my 30s then!

  Lol is this a cross post from the same community? Well played.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think freewill truly exists?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. I can’t remember where I heard this - it might have been a podcast like RadioLab or something else - but it was talking about how happily married, intelligent couples talk to each other .

  It turns out, it’s not usually super deep, intelligent conversations. The vast majority of conversations are just meaningless bullshit. Most of the time, couples aren’t even really talking to each other, but they’re just kind of thinking aloud. Stupid stuff like, “I swear I saw a dozen blue Volkswagens today.”

  It turns out that people who are comfortable with each other don’t need to have deep conversations all the time. They can just relax, unwind, and be themselves.

  It doesn’t look all too different than these AI videos from 6 months ago. The length is about the same as many of those examples as well.
