  • Trump given power to rename Greenland 'Red, White and Blueland' under new bill tabled by Republicans

    Jump

  • This has to be ragebait cover for something else, right?

    Like even the dimmest, least self aware, MAGA-hat-wearing dumbass would feel embarrassed to say "Red, White, and Blueland" out loud.

    Right???

  • ICE Wants to Know If You’re Posting Negative Things About It Online

    Jump

  • I just saw few dozen identical comments with a bunch of upvotes, so the idea of people randomly dogpiling one single comment for no apparent reason struck me as funny!

    I seem to recall a subreddit like that... chains of identical one word posts, 20 comments deep, all with a hundred upvotes... and one poor dude with like -1000.

  • ICE Wants to Know If You’re Posting Negative Things About It Online

    Jump

  • Fuck ICE. All my homies hate ICE.

    Scanning this thread though, I was kinda hoping there would be one single "Fuck ICE" comment amongst the rest, that was randomly downvoted to oblivion for no apparent reason.

  • Former lurkers (here or elsewhere online), what changed?

    Jump

  • Lemmy feels more like a community garden while reddit felt more like a really packed lunchroom.

    That's it 100% for me. Reddit was just so busy that posting or commenting felt kinda pointless.

    Anything I'd feel like saying had already been said a dozen times by the time I popped into the comments, so why bother except to reap some upvotes?

  • Nobody Voted for Elon Musk | A self-interested, erratic megalomaniac has seized control of the US government.

    Jump

  • Hard agree. My mom is not the most politically literate person, and never cared much about tech, EVs, or space flight, but this summer out of nowhere she started talking about how great this Musk guy was and all his business accomplishments.

    The Trump voters have been have been fully prepped on how to feel about Elmo for quite some time now.

  • Ok. I was thrown off by the waist-height and suspiciously small neck hole.

  • What is that, a guillotine for.... oh. oh no.

  • Your New Order Has Arrived

    Jump

  • If the GOP is riding in under the banner of the Christian god, then Hail Satan indeed!

  • Trump Insider Says ‘The President Doesn’t Have Any Leverage Over’ Musk: ‘Elon Gives Zero F*cks’

    Jump

  • Not to single you out, but I have noticed a lot of people having a hard time picking up sarcasm lately, and obvious satire/sarcasm getting downvoted to oblivion.

    Like I get that hackles are raised as fuck right now, but I don't quite get the connection...?

  • Let's not jump to conclusions

    Jump

  • If he's not from the Nazi region of Germany, he's not real Nazi, he's just a sparkling fascist. 🧐

    (Not an original comment, but it's too good not to recycle)

  • A Perfect Shot

    Jump

  • I totally missed that. Honestly, it's a solid comic without the pun, but that kicks it up another level! Love it

  • xkcd #3038: Uncanceled Units

    Jump

  • Exactly, it's a unit of convenience, not a unit of abstract precision.

    Even a unit of "gallons/sqft" could be handy in the right context. If you were trying to design a storage solution for discretely packaged product for example, it could be a figure of merit despite literally factoring out to a unit of length.

  • Money is for saving

    Jump

  • Honestly, and I think this is part of what the comic is getting at, spending money to buy a new shiny can deliver a hit of dopamine at the moment. But once that hit fades, a variety of other feelings about that purchase can set in.

    So it's not as simple as whether buying something makes you happy, it's whether the act of purchasing the thing, experiencing the newness, actually owning and using the thing, all bring you happiness. And on top of that, whether the things you could have bought instead would bring you more happiness.

    I actually relate pretty hard to this, if it's not obvious lol

  • Pirates of Lemmy, how many torrents are in your queue that are just stuck?

    Jump

  • Same here. I normally have qbittorrent running 24/7, but typically shut it down and grab a different VPN server once or twice a week. It seems to affect uploads more than downloads though.

    Stuck torrents aren't really a huge deal for me, because I've usually got at least a couple weeks worth of backlog. But it is frustrating when I pop open the client and see like 3Gb of upload activity that day, when I have hundreds of things seeding.

  • What was the first thing you ever stole?

    Jump

  • M:tG cards back in the late 90s.

    There was a local comic book store called (no shit) The Funk Pit, which kept the mid tier cards stored in 3 ring binders full of those plastic card sleeves, and common cards stored in an "Inch Box" where they just charged you by the height of your stack. My friend and I would occasionally sneak a more expensive card out of the binder and slip it into our stack from the Inch Deck that cost $1.25.

    There's no way we were the first or last to do it, but I felt kinda shitty about it for years after.

  • Musk has been staying at a Mar-a-Lago cottage — right next to Trump’s main house

  • Aww, they are having a sleepover!

  • Are there any words that you pronounce in a way that seems weird to most people?

    Anyone who says gro-suh-ree can fuck right off back to whatever prep posh school for fancy people they came from

  • Are there any words that you pronounce in a way that seems weird to most people?

    Jump

  • It's "boggle" in my household. Wife and I are confirmed dorks.

  • What is something that only exists because people are stupid?

    Jump

  • Do you think that someone sits down and makes a list of all items that need to be labeled as containing X, which is then updated each time a new food or recipe hits the store shelves?

    Or is it more likely that regulators simply state that all foods for human consumption containing more than some percent by weight of X must be labeled as containing X?

    If your goal is to ensure that consumers are alerted to certain ingredients for allergy or other purposes, you care very much about a product not getting labeled properly, and you don't really care if something obvious gets the label.

    I'm not really sure why this is so hard to grasp...
