  • No, this is actually really relevant. This is part of the logic applied to labeling Pluto a dwarf planet. Pluto and it's moon do this, Earth and our moon do not. Yes, obviously the center of mass of the two isn't the exact center of the earth but it's still within the earth.

  • I went through this whole thing to show you that American cheese is a real food only to stumble on this term in the definition lol

    Pasteurized process cheese is the food prepared by comminuting and mixing, with the aid of heat, one or more cheeses of the same or two or more varieties, except cream cheese, neufchatel cheese, cottage cheese, lowfat cottage cheese, cottage cheese dry curd, cook cheese, hard grating cheese, semisoft part-skim cheese, part-skim spiced cheese, and skim milk cheese for manufacturing with an emulsifying agent prescribed by paragraph (c) of this section into a homogeneous plastic mass. One or more of the optional ingredients designated in paragraph (d) of this section may be used.

    It's so easy to forget that plastic has other definitions than "made of plastic" lol.

  • I used to get sucked in by cop videos on TikTok. I think it's the curiosity. I hated it. I'd get shown so many. I didn't enjoy watching them. I thought a lot about what's happening and I really think it's just the initial hook of "what's happening here???" because there's a cop. I had to actively scroll away as fast as possible every time I saw them to get that shit away. I finally did, but it was rough. It's easy to fall into traps like that with social media algorithms. They aren't meant to maximize your enjoyment, they're meant to maximize your retention, engagement, and spending.

  • Americans who live near state borders,how do you notice you've crossed the border?

    Jump

  • There often aren't major cultural differences, not the abruptly, but there still can be changes. Sometimes the road will be 2 lanes on one side and 4 on the other. Sometimes you'll see a ton of new billboards on one side and not the other because they just bought a bunch in one state. Architecture? Not so much, I don't think, though it could be in some areas. Generally if someone is actively picking something while they're there,like building a house, it won't change, but if it's someone picking or choosing something from afar like what a road should be like or what to advertise it can change abruptly.

    A good example is that in the past (not so much now), I-75 going south into Georgia began to have a ton of weird pro life billboards and Christian billboards once you cross the state line. Since then they have passed the line, but for real, it was a very abrupt change from none to tons of pictures of fetuses and talking points about when "your baby's" heart beat begins. As well as weird pictures of an apocalypse and Jesus that just sort of says "do you have a decision to make?" With no context.

    I actually signed that last one's website's guest book to tell them the domain name on their signs was wrong, which was hilarious to me. It seems like the site would come before the billboards, so why wouldn't they notice the billboards had the wrong site? It was something like org instead of com, pretty minor. But sure enough they changed the billboards next time I went to Florida. So clearly someone is maintaining that site and those billboards. I just checked and it's still up, but it looks like they have some redirects now. So, maybe they fixed some stuff or my memory is fuzzy, this was probably about 10 years ago, definitely pre COVID though.

  • 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene

  • Imagine contacting a brick and mortar store in another country and threatening sanctions because they don't check the passport of visitors so they're "offering services" to another country. That's sort of what's happening.

  • 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene

    Jump

  • I guess this is what it comes down to...

    1. Do you view allowing any arbitrary IP address to access your site as "offering service" to all countries? Or,
    2. Do you view having a website as just putting something into cyberspace and it's the responsibility of countries to control access to it if they don't want their citizens going there.

    Personally, I'm a firm believer that IP addresses aren't people and that an IP address range doesn't mean the end user is from that country, so I lean towards point 2.

    ...buuuuuut I also really don't like the idea that countries control access to things like that. I'm sort of in a "wish I could have it both ways" thing. Because the more sites that are adamant about taking view number 2 the more countries will be encouraged to censor. And let's be honest, this is all about control, there are sensible ways to protect children like creating standardized self labels for parental controls to reject and find on those instead, so... It's hard.

    I hate this.

  • I think people who used to use 4chan.get nostalgic for the rare gems and forget the absolute depraved shit or how much there was, perhaps along with not being able to spot things as well when they used it.

  • Honestly I think another part is that AI is actually pretty fascinating (or at least easy to make seem fascinating to investors lol) so when company A makes a flashy statement to investors involving AI, company B's investors ask why company B isn't utilizing this amazing new technology. This plays into that aspect of not wanting to get left behind.
