My daughter went through the “why” phase for a while when she was 3. I do my best to answer them because it’s a fun game. She’s trying to learn, and I’m here to teach her. At one point we got to the topic of our dog and she was like “Why is he a dog”
That one stumped me for a while before I hit her with “because his parents are dogs”. And then she went right for the “who are his parents” and that spun off into questions about dog breeding and how they used to all be wild wolves… It’s fun.
This one is always hilarious. Like James Bond will be out on some mission for several days and I’ll be like “damn, I wonder where he took a shit”
I feel like this is something left out of pretty much every survival video game. You have to figure out how to get food and water etc, but you never have to dig a hole to shit in. It is part of being alive.
Wow, that’s a pretty sweeping statement. I know some cops, and let me tell you, I don’t need to watch a documentary to know that they are incompetent.
Giving birth. In movies and TV shows it’s always this sudden thing. Like “My water broke! The baby is coming!” then there is some pushing and screaming and bam, baby. In reality, having a baby takes many many hours and often times days, even with induced labor.

From what I’ve heard, wallpaper is making a comeback and I’m here for it. I’m not talking about your grandmother’s vertical flower print stuff. I’m talking all the colors and all the designs. The possibilities are endless. I particularly like some of the art deco stuff. It’s awesome. I tried uploading a photo and it’s not working, so just image search “modern wallpaper” followed by a color. You’ll see what I mean.
It’s not people. If I recall correctly it has to do with ads. Like if your website has ads on it for the XYZ company, and their automatic content reading bot sees too many “bad words”, then they won’t advertise on your site anymore and the site owner loses the ad revenue. It’s stupid, but it explains why the word itself is more important than the content of the article. Because the bots look for words and have a threshold or something.
I mean good on them. But… B&G Pickles for lyfe.
Where is the hydrohomies community on Lemmy? This is a 5 alarm emergency. His piss, if he has any, is probably so dark yellow that it’s brown. I piss so heavy and light yellow it’s like a sun kissed stream from a garden hose. Water is fuckin mana potion.
PC gamers already have PCs, and console gamers don’t want to spend $1000 on a console-PC. That seems to be the general vibe. It’s not looking great.
The Steam Deck came in at a competetive price, and a handheld form factor, those two things made it a success.
I would say pretty much wedding I have been to in the past 10 or so years has had a no phone/camera policy during the ceremony. Before the ceremony starts, the officiant comes to the mic and reminds everybody and let’s them know their is a professional photographer and everybody will get to see the photos online later.
The rest of the wedding? Go wild. We actually had some app with a QR code that guests could scan when they arrived. Then between 5pm and 10pm (or whatever the time of the wedding was) - any photo they took was uploaded, and we got to see all of the photos everybody took plotted on a time line. If you didn’t want to use it, fine with me, I know how people are with privacy. But I thought it was cool.
Shit, sometimes MS Word will autocorrect them in, and then I have to remove them just so it doesn’t look like AI.
But also people using the “This is AI” hand wave for things they don’t like. My sister in law is super guilty of this. I was showing my daughter some old-ass internet cartoons and my SIL was like “Ew you’re showing your daughter this AI slop?” and I’m like “This is a YouTube video of a flash cartoon from like 15+ years ago” and she’ll come back with “No, look at the animation, it’s all weird, it’s definitely AI” and it’s like “Yo… AI did not exist when this was made. It’s a jank ass flash video ported over to YouTube, that’s why it looks weird”
If you’re going to hate AI, at least be able to detect it.
This is actually a very valid take, and I didn’t think of it this way. Man, what a complicated landscape AI has made. Pandora’s box certainly has been opened.
I think publishers realized this a while ago which is why pre orders usually come with a free skin, or early access, or something like that.
Don’t get me wrong, I still think pre ordering a digital item is stupid as hell, but there are definitely people in the boat of “I’m 100% going to buy it no matter what, and this gets me the game a week early” - so for them it makes sense.
Weird. Monthly updates used to be pretty harmless with a bunch of little bug fixes that really only affected a few people. Then AI came out, and in the past 6 months or so every patch Tuesday has been a complete disaster. It’s almost as if they laid off a bunch of engineers and now have the remaining ones just vibe coding shit while using the same LLM to do code review and everything is going to hell. Not that it was a phenomenal product to begin with, but when you have engineers vibe coding patches for such a delecate platform, it’s going to end in disaster.
Project K2, baby!
/s if it wasn’t obvious.
It would be great if your tax forms had a section at the end with check boxes/scantrom bubbles where you were able to select what your taxes were allowed to be spent on. I’m genuinely curious how that would pan out. Like I would put all of mine towards education and public works etc. None to war or surveillance tech or any of this shit.
Just a casual couple of long Island iced teas. You know, just a couple little pints of hard liqour. Lol holy shit dude.
A container of raspberries costs like $8 and the cost to produce them is $0. They grow on bushes for free.
Thats if you ignore all of the other things that go into land, labor, planning, growing, harvesting, cleaning, packaging, and shipping. Just like this article did.
Juggalos are pretty out there. Huffing nitrous, and drinking shitty beer and root beer? And they are super proud of it. I’m pretty sure there’s meth involved. I don’t think they do much harm to anybody but themselves, and maybe anybody they influence into becoming a juggalo. But man, what a weird group of people.
