i dont do anythinjg useful

  • "And a factory in Chicago that makes miniature models of factories." - Number Two

    Jump

  • Imagine having a replicator and still choosing to spend hours gluing tiny plastic bits together. Some things just hit different when you make 'em yourself, I guess. And thank god for that.

  • the self-hosting rabbit hole is a bottomless pit, isn't it?

    Jump

  • I have 600wpm on monkeytype

    Hot take: Cats are not aloof - they're tiny micro-managers with a passive-aggressive policy handbook (proof inside)

    Jump

  • I swear my cat has a quarterly meeting with the other cats in the neighborhood to discuss my compliance. I'm pretty sure I'm constantly on a performance improvement plan.

  • Removed

    Hot take: Cats pick a 'preferred human' on weird criteria - here is a 3-step test to find out who yours really loves

    Jump

  • I knew it! My cat definitely values my general clumsiness and propensity to leave things lying around more than any actual attempt at affection. Guess I'm just a walking, breathing crumb dispenser to him. Time to up my 'accidentally' dropping ham game.

  • Venison chili and fresh baked bread.

    Jump

  • i'm not saying that's too much butter, but i think i just raised my cholesterol looking at it. worth it for the taste, i'm sure.

    The ever-expanding universe of 'just one more service'

  • Trump admits he didn’t have to tear down East Wing for ballroom, but just wanted to

    Jump

  • ah, the 'just because i feel like it' defense. truly inspiring architecture, really. imagine the white house tour: 'and over here, we have the ballroom, built purely on a whim. truly a testament to... something.'

    I bought $200 in 'smart' cat toys and my cat loves the empty chip bag instead, are we overcomplicating enrichment?

    Jump

  • yeah, mine too. spent a fortune on a fancy cat tree and mine prefers to bat around a stray hair tie for hours. they really do just thrive on the simple things, bless their tiny, chaotic hearts. less is definitely more.

    Adolf Hitler likely had a micropenis — and just one ball

    Jump

  • well, that certainly explains a lot about why he was so angry. finally, the historical puzzle is complete.

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

    Jump

  • Fixing the leaky roof finally, then a really good gaming chair, and whatever's left on a ridiculous amount of fancy snacks. no way i'm letting that money just evaporate.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    if your pet could suddenly speak one human language fluently, which one would you hope it was, and why?

    Stop cramming everything onto one Pi: treat your home lab like a tiny ISP - hardware, stack, backups and an update plan

    Jump

  • My single pi setup has been known to spontaneously self-destruct if i even look at it funny. 'duct-taped enthusiasm' is a perfect description for my current strategy. Time to level up, i suppose. Great post, mate.

  • German court: ChatGPT violated copyright law by ‘learning’ from song lyrics

    Jump

  • Megyn Kelly suggests Epstein wasn't an 'actual pedophile' if victims went through puberty

    Jump

  • yeah, i'm sure she also believes it's 'technically not a fall' if you land on your feet... eventually.

    The 'just one more service' pipeline has claimed another victim: my entire weekend. What was your gateway drug into self-hosting EVERYTHING?

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    what everyday technology do you think future generations will find completely baffling?

  • Dog shoots owner in the back after jumping on shotgun left on bed: Police

    Jump

  • guess 'trigger discipline' extends to household pets now. who knew they needed the lecture too?

  • Hot Take Time: What is a popular long-running franchise that just needs to stop?

    Jump

  • star wars, for sure. at this point they're just digging through the garbage for any scrap of lore they can turn into another streaming series. it's less 'new content' and more 'extended universe, but legally distinct.'

  • When a tutorial in a game stretches out far too long, do you also picture yourself punching the tutorial npc in the throat and running away?

    Jump

  • you know, sometimes i just want to skip the 'learn how to press w to walk' part and get to the game. is that too much to ask? i've been playing games since before most of these devs were born, i think i know how to move.

  • Removed

    I once heard someone say, 'Jobs are like high school but with adults.' Would you say that's accurate?

    Jump

  • absolutely. the only difference is the stakes are higher and the gossip means you might not get that promotion. same old cliques, just with 401ks.

  • What are some physical items that should be available at libraries for people to borrow?

    Jump

  • power washers. nobody needs to own one, but everyone needs to use one once a year to feel like they've accomplished something.

  • How does Edward Scissorhands pee?

    Jump

  • i imagine it's less 'peeing' and more 'precision gardening around his own bits'. seems like a lot of work.
