  • I present to you: blindly plugging a SCART in the back of our monolith of a TV... Harder than aligning an HDMI and it would shock me from time to time for some reason, while feeling around to find the socket

  • Being the worst at something bad isn't something to ba ashamed of :)

  • You sure did and you did good.I'm also glad people are letting us know which law this comic is really illustrating.

  • I block ads everywhere I can because I'm sick of the low effort, blatant manipulation campaigns.

    An artist trying to get the word out that their work is for sale is completely fine with me.

  • I guess I'm lucky enough to have well stocked physical stores and smaller online retailers I can rely on :)

  • Veritasium (I'm pretty sure) made a video about it, I found it very informative!

  • Same, I wasn't that young though, late 20s early 30s.One time I was wiring a live plug (I know) and I got shocked though both arms and shoulders.That was quite the lesson

  • Makes sense thanks.What a fucked up situation, having to feed the monster that first got you into that situation.

  • Some people get mad when u tell them not to shop on amazon, they talk about it being the only viable option for them since they live so far from actual stores and whatnot.

    This got me wondering how were these people feeding and clothing themselves 10 years ago? (Or before the advent of amazon grocery shopping, idk how long it's been and I'm very bad at keeping track of time).

    I'm genuinely curious about this, if someone has an answer please tell me.

  • Saw it two days ago for the first time.I thought that line about not needing eyes was familiar!

  • I know it's not that crazy but these moments always amaze me:

    Never in my life had I heard BMW's being called bimmers/beemers,And this is the second time I see it today.

  • Sure man, insult them that'll get me on your side, you dick

  • Yes! Thank you!!!

  • It was really more some kind of oscilloscope that needed to be programmed then it played the whole animation.I have never heard of that before or after seeing that video and I think it's a bit of an obscure technology.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What is this old vfx tech called ?

  • I agree this is all about semantics, you seem to consider nature only for its bad sides (but don't forget we also get all our food from nature).

    Nature is really terrible, actually. It's an endless cycle of violence, death

    Dying sucks but I don't think we should ever stop doing that (at a reasonable age, let's be clear).

    I agree that being above the violent killing part of nature should be an ideal, but I'm sorry to say I don't believe we're there yet, people are still killing; for food, for fun, for greed, just look at the news... :'(

    I resent this "man is part of nature" argument because at face value it romanticizes suffering.

    Here you raise an important question: does being part of nature exclude us from using technology?

    I don't believe so. To me being part of nature does not mean to live like our ancestors did when there was no manmade things, or when you would get burned at the stake for doing science...(I'm not sure in what periods of history you would consider we were part of nature).

    The way I see it, we could be part of nature while using a lot of the technologies we use today. We would just need to tweak (a lot) of them and drop the use of many more, but I'm convinced that, if everybody started taking their responsibilities, we could find effective ways to produce enough medicine and food without the damage that those currently cause.

    So yeah, I get you, you get me, we just don't mean the same thing when we say nature :)

  • Saying we're above nature sounds like we're better than it/better without it (which some people seem to think but please, let's not give that idea more traction by declaring it a fact).

    I think it's more like humans are trying to separate themselves from nature.

  • So did you! Pretty sure you're right about the artist being a dude for the reason you mentioned.Thanks for giving my point a thought.

  • I agree with the sentiment but "Absolutely no woman has ever fantasized" about that?

    Do you really believe that? If not, why use these words? I don't think it serves your purpose and it's too bad.

    Don't hate me please. I'm just talking semantics which are important to me

  • Openings and indentations aren't the same thing though, are they?
