In my experience, Lemmy isn’t particularly toxic, though sometimes you might run across people with a bad attitude or just might have simply had a bad day. Block those sort of people if you need to, or report them, depending on context.

Also, life pro tip, people aren’t too keen on reading walls of text, especially if it’s mostly complaining…

Did your keyboard have a stroke? Haha, I more or less get you though.

Tell them “I need this job because working 40 hours a week at the sperm bank is very exhausting”

You do have a point, but most phones have one edge that doesn’t have any buttons, and most people have their phone in a case, which assuming it’s a proper fitting case, usually cancels out that camera bump issue and makes it sit properly flat on a table.

Thank you for caring. If you need to or just feel it’s best, there are all sorts of safe live animal traps out there, if you need it or any more coons relocated…

I wasn’t exactly referring to the military…

Seed the clouds with pepper, make everyone sneeze…

That would be a fun distraction…

Oh no, the bullets and missiles might get wet!

Side note, seal them in wax, they can survive the rain…

Take that information however you will…

My eggs are notarized homie, $10 each.

Strangely, I kinda like it!

I’ll pass though, I make my own avatars (which apparently I still haven’t applied to Lemmy…)

I’ll pass, AI doesn’t need any more training data from me than it already has, especially focused on my username.

That’s actually a pretty good question.

With no exact answer, I do think this will at least in part depend on relative comparison to how exactly level your floor/ceiling/counter/table or other frame of reference is, which itself might not be perfect.

Side note, basically every smart phone out there has orientation sensors, so it should be just as easy as downloading a Bubble Level app from the app store.

Thank you for the public service announcement, I had no idea this was such a common issue. I should probably keep some emergency testicles around as well…

😂

I actually own 2 penises, I keep the spare in a jar in case of an emergency.

/s 😂🤣

I happen to be a penis owner.

So what would happen if I were to install and use such a monthly tracker app and pretend I’ve been having regular monthlies for a while, then suddenly I miss a couple periods, then suddenly start having periods again?

Would the cops come beating my door down claiming I had an abortion? 🤔

Fuck this dystopian mass surveillance shit!

WTF? I just played that just long enough for my queen to take over their queen, and it turned my queen into a rook?

Is that even a legit rule in any variation of chess rules?

I wasn’t aware of that either, now I’m kinda curious to try to find it in my 512 Atari 2600 ROMs archive…

I’ve been known to put garlic salt in a bowl of Cheerios before, so I guess I’d try it at least once, if it was a real thing of course… 🤷‍♂️

Disclaimer: Back when I’d put garlic salt in Cheerios, the reason was I had a dental cavity and sugar was hurting my teeth, but I also didn’t want my cereal tasting like cardboard.

What I posted was generated on July 1, 2023. Google’s AI was still in beta at the time.

Well shit, I figured out what the real issue was.

I’m on a laptop with only 3 USB ports, and I’m running a physical laptop hard drive on an adapter on one USB port, and a laptop CD/DVD drive on another adapter on another port.

Obviously that’s probably pushing the power limits of the USB power, but it’s worked before, so I didn’t see why it wasn’t quite working right now.

But this time I was trying a different DVD drive, an HP TS-T633P slot loader drive. Apparently that drive is extra power hungry compared to a conventional laptop drive, so I dug out my old tray loader drive.

Apparently the slot loader drive was competing with the hard drive for power, and they were apparently taking turns robbing power from each other. The system is perfectly happy with the tray loader drive though, no reconfiguration necessary!

🤦‍♂️😂🤣👍
