  • amazing...

  • Was this before or after he got an STD from trafficked children and gave it to Melinda?

    Gates can get fucked. Not like how he likes, either. I mean like fucked with the thing in the meme.

  • TIL about the battle of Blair Mountain

    Jump

  • Oh, wait until you find out about the documentary Harlan County USA from 1976.

    Amazing film to watch. What's sad is that the descendants of those same miners would today vote a million times for anyone telling them they're against unions.

  • The fuck did I do

    Jump

  • I mean, it's really more like he paid someone that figured it out and had a moral compass once it affected her, instead of a public, fuck-everyone-up lawsuit. Small price to pay, really.

  • Why do people who try to convince others to switch to metric focus so much on the conversions?

    Jump

  • Trying to convert your way of thinking by "making it easy."

    Honestly, it's like a language. You have to use it and feel it through immersion. Experience is how you get people to convert.

  • So this is why they changed it

  • lawsuits and being a general dipshit hit him hard. But I bet he's still around, throwing money at some Super PAC.

  • ESPECIALLY "My First Sony"!!!!!!!

  • Ugh, I still hate when something uses the "My____" format.

    It always makes me thing of "Fisher Price My First ______" like I'm being belittled.

  • TIL putting solar panels on land currently used for biofuels would produce enough electricity for all cars and trucks to go electric

    Jump

  • Sadly, this isn't a "the market can handle it" thing either. Gas stations have underground tanks which have to be dug up and disposed of before the land can be used again, and it's expensive. So gasoline infrastructure will remain for a while regardless of how many gas powered vehicles there are.

  • Yes, but that makes sense. Don't you know that's not allowed?! /s

  • PieFed vs Lemmy. What say you?

    Jump

  • OK, given it a few days.... I honestly prefer the formatting of Lemmy quite a bit more. Mostly the inbox, and that I have to turn on dark mode every time, it's not a profile setting.

    Little fixes, but for now, Lemmy is still doing it for me.

  • Obey or Die!

  • And they might just ask "does he have a gun?" "Wait - does he have a gun?!" "DOES HE HAVE A GUN?!" until they shoot you 10 times just to be able to look and say "nope."

  • Butterfly effect

    Jump

  • Ah, OK I see that. I thought it also looked a bit like it would apply to the downward slope of social media and polarization of everyone into hate-filled groups where "no one is wrong."

    Thanks for explaining your perspective!

    Jump

  • This is exactly right. Like it or not, an easily transportable, easily stored energy source is hugely important to modern society.

    Can 75% or more of average road traffic be addressed through electric cars and induction roadways? Absolutely. And we should keep going with the conversion so that high energy density needs like construction mining, large-scale transportation, etc. have access to remaining petroleum fuels. On top of getting diesel-fueled plants out of the power grid.

    This isn't even hard. Does the vehicle need a CDL to drive? No? Then make it electric. Do you need special tests, licenses, and insurance to drive the vehicle? Does it weigh over 3 tons? Great, use that diesel all you like. No, your Ford F-350 SuperDuty does not entitle you to roll coal just to drive to and from your job at Bass Pro Shop, Dale.

  • Is this not a victim-blaming meme telling me to shut up and stay at home? The last domino is going to hit the rabbit.

  • Protip: disable the Google AI summary by adding "-ai" to the end of your search

    Jump

  • I disabled it by not using Google since 2024

  • PieFed vs Lemmy. What say you?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the rundown. OK, I'll give it a shot.

  • PieFed vs Lemmy. What say you?

    Jump

  • OOooooooh.... ok, well that's a feature not a bug.

  • PieFed vs Lemmy. What say you?

    Jump

  • TIL - FINE, I'll give a try!

  • PieFed vs Lemmy. What say you?

    Jump

  • I mean, I don't jump from trend to trend, so I'll support Lemmy until either the project gets depreciated and no more updates happen. I can still see everything because piefed is federated, so why jump from platform to platform every few months? What features really are there that make a difference?
