I do, but. Pack of cigarettes wasn’t $12 back then…
- Comment on If you live a million years you'll still never understand why someone would park right next to you in a forest campground when there's dozens upon dozens of empty spots with more privacy available. 23 hours ago:
After rereading they do mention they’re at a campground. I focused on the ‘dispersed camping spot’ phrase.
The only conclusion I can come to is OP uses different camping terminology than I’m familiar with. For me ‘dispersed’ can have a broad range of meanings but always means ‘not at a campground’.

Am I crazy or is the weird thing actually where you drive to a national forest and “dispersed” camp in your car?
In my mind dispersed camping is when you maybe drive to a trailhead but then actually camp after hiking several miles into the forest.
If I saw a car parked in a parking lot I would not assume anyone was sleeping in it.
Maybe it’s a regional thing?

That seems like a lot of work in a world where blocking exists.

Considering they have an expiration date I don’t believe they’re inert.

I’ve use quite a few brands, but I’ve never come across one that changed colors. Is that blue despite the blood sample?
These almost look more like ph or ketone test strips…

I think it’s a bot assisted human. The amount of spam they output is inhuman but they do interact like a human at times.

Liberal or not I think we can all agree more unseriousness is needed on Lemmy.
The top voted comment on a shitposting post amounts to a “WELl aCTcTUAtLY” for X’s sake.

@SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world is simply irreverent; not a troll.

I wonder if it could be the largest person blocking the most air.
That explain why it happens to me anyway…
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 month ago:
This is, for example, what I get when I search for “anti-conservative t-shirts” (if it’s too tiny, try it yourself - they’re all anti-liberal):
You make your point well. I just wanted to point out I believe at least one of them is anti-conservative (The devolution of humans into the GOP)
And one is possibly unintentionally anti-conservative: If Liberal Perspective is actually a liberal’s perspective the subject is a conservative with their head up their own ass. I don’t believe that’s the shirt’s actual intention though. It would be hard to depict the interior of the rectum on a T-shirt
- Comment on People left seriously creeped out after woman shares how to find out everything Google knows about you 1 month ago:
What are the odds than anyone in the household searched for the shows? Targeting ads to all devices on the same IP or even devices that have previously been on the same network happens.
I was able to predict that my mom had been researching “bunion shoes” after I started seeing ads, seemingly randomly, for them not long after she came to my house to visit.

I even remember physics teacher basically using the words “don’t worry about it, it’s just a really big number”
Ok - This is literally the origin for me. My 8th grade “physical science” teacher told us this.

Oof - I have to rethink everything I thought I knew about E=mc^2^ 🫠
I’ve always discounted c^2^ as “just a number” and didn’t consider it was a number of specific units 🫣

Oooh…Good point. And now I have conflicting responses.
This one makes the most intuitive sense to me but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on If we took material like rock from space and got it back to Earth enough times, would Earth grow as a planet? 2 months ago:
Wow - that’s what I meant. Not sure how I managed to get it backwards.
And to think I fretted so much over using “astronomically” and “minuscule” together 🤪
- Comment on If we took material like rock from space and got it back to Earth enough times, would Earth grow as a planet? 2 months ago:
Isn’t this just a matter of units though?
Like we could define our own units such that 1 unit of e equals 1 unit of m.
I have no clue what units that c^2^ formula are actually in 😕

Sure, but the implication was that plant mass comes from the sun. Maybe some negligible fraction of percent is but nowhere near the majority.
The sun’s energy also goes into heat all over the planet. I’m just trying to understand how any of that energy might manifest as mass in a tangible way.
Or maybe it’s just the case that the amount of energy needed to create mass is astronomically minuscule.
🤔 I suppose that’s the principle behind atomic bombs 🤔

I thought plant biomass was obtained from the air (CO2/carbon sequestration?) and water.

If “energy equals mass”, shouldn’t we be gaining mass from the sun too 🤔

You can also just long press a volume button with the lock button (with a FaceID phone). I find this harder to mess up under stress.

I love that new Snoop Dogg/GrubHub commercial. I watch the whole thing every time it comes one.
It seems perfectly targeted. I don’t smoke or listen to Snoop anymore and have never used GrubHub but it makes me want to start doing one or two; maybe even three of those things again.

You do realize these are two separate groups of mods for each sub right?
There is no monolithic “Lemmy Mods” or even “Lemmy Admins”.
