  • TIL sweat comes out of the pores, which does this when you shave

    Jump

  • Just dropping in to say what follows in this thread is the most pointless, overblown argument I’ve seen in a very long time.

    Full-on, unironically, arguing over dictionary definitions with each other and trading insults.

    This is what the internet does to some people. Look on and despair.

  • Restaurant Uses AI for Menu, Accidentally Describes Appetizer in Way So Disgusting That We May Never Recover

    Jump

  • Why save 2 clicks when you could save 3?

    The menu item in question reads as follows:

    Chicken Pops

    Small, itchy, blister-like bumps caused by the varicella-zoster virus; common in childhood.

  • Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer

  • What's the most frustrating experience you've had with a website? (Sign-up, form, downloads, etc.)

    Jump

  • Wow, Silverlight - now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

  • TIL the QWERTY keyboard was not designed to intentionally slow down typing

    Jump

  • Because YouTube thumbnails are designed to generate clicks and engagement (including this conversation right here!), not to be correct or informative.

    TIL the plastic wall plug, used in homes and construction worldwide, was invented by German engineer Artur Fischer in 1958. His simple nylon dowel forever changed how we hang, fix, and build.

  • Interesting! I wonder if it’s in any way linked to the word ‘doobie’?

    TIL: Up to 85% of Americans Believe Abortion Should Be Legal in At Least Some Circumstances

    Jump

  • ‘Up to 85%’ is a meaningless figure

    Whats your favorite Pink Flloyd album?

    Jump

  • Realistically, it’s Animals for me. Solid narrative theme, Roger Waters’ trademark cynicism at peak potency, great tunes.

    But part of me also wants to play devils advocate and say The Final Cut? Okay it’s not the greatest album they made, but it feels raw and real and heartfelt in its own way.

    (Yes I also enjoy Waters’ solo albums)

  • Made with Frontpage 98

    Jump

  • Sadly(?) I don’t think it was actually made with FrontPage 98 - the source is far too neat and clean!!

    Why does Safari by default have all kinds of weird "Experimental" settings enabled that are laborious to disable?

    Jump

  • Like what?

  • Ok now this is just ridiculous

    Jump

  • It’s just a joke about Apple Wallet serving ads for their new F1 movie.

    Not sure why it got posted in the first place, but it’s already been flagged & removed from HN.

    What are the most sedating foods per se, not necessarily needing to be full of it to get the sleep aiding effect?

    Jump

  • Specifically the hops used to flavour beer are a potent herbal sleep aid.

  • Show HN: Sick of emailing yourself stuff? me too

    Jump

  • Per the author:

    i never even knew about syncthing until now. it's (clearly) a lot better, but again, the reason I made this is because of my school's software whitelist. they only allow certain apps to run on my laptop, one of them being python due to out compsci class. since then, I've been using it to get around whitelists and make my own stuff. this allows me to sync up me and my friend's stuff (like projects, etc.) while we're in school and not have to worry about the whitelist

  • UK’s Porn Providers Agree to Age Checks by July 25; Aylo, Owner of Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, Will Add Age Assurance Checks.

    Jump

  • So this will affect Reddit and Lemmy too, presumably?

  • uBlock Origin Lite Beta for Safari iOS

    Jump

  • It’ll be interesting to see how it compares to AdGuard

  • NSFW Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • I don’t think I’ve ever used a fake name to order anything online.

    I can understand doing it for something potentially embarrassing or compromising, but until I saw this post it never even crossed my mind that there might be people that do it as a matter of course.

    What are some slow paced and minimal plot movies?

    Jump

  • Brian and Charles.

    The vibes are similar to Napoleon Dynamite, but the setting is rural Britain instead.

    Heartfelt, kooky, a little bit bleak but ultimately feel-good.

  • ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Will End With a Fifth and Final Season

    Jump

  • To be replaced with what? SNW was (is, for the time being) a great show and the torchbearer of the franchise IMO. For a time it looked like Paramount was finally righting the ship with SNW and LD, but now they’re both gone and they’re back to putting out dross like Section 31?

  • What MS-DOS Can Do That Linux Can't

  • This article is about 20 years old - it’s a geocities archive. Why it got reposted now, other than to start some pointless internet arguments, is anybody’s guess.
