The fact that places exist where they protest any incremental regression with extreme prejudice is awesome. Doesn’t matter if their schools are currently “better” then other places. They hold a line that protects their schools and other services from the death of a thousand cuts we experience everywhere else.

memes@lemmy.world•Fuck software that easily could have a setting but doesn't
17·10 days agoMy current problem with Google (and a problem that I never thought I would have wtfuck) is when I watch some YouTube videos in French the AI auto translates the goddamn audio to English. I don’t want an AI audio translation of the fucking audio and there is no way to set the default not to do that. I have to manually go into the video EVERY TIME IT DOES IT to put it back to the original sound. It’ll create new audio but I can’t get half the videos to show the in language subtitles for non-english videos. SO DUMB.
I mean:
Wait… Are you saying if this happened someone likely learned these “bee facts” from an AI? That is painful. I swear those things are fucking intelligence cancer.
3%? I’m honestly surprised it’s that’s high. Considering for that for most of human history we couldn’t write or read.
I mean there are bees vomiting. Bees do spin around. And there is a centrifuge. This is pretty close to true.

192·14 days agoI love that apparently additional metal has to be added because the truck itself is made out of so much plastic and other nonsense that it wouldn’t work with a magnet on its own.
Polident denture cleaning tablets. Fill it with water, drop a tablet in, and let it soak over night. Wash/rinse the next day it until the minty flavor is gone (or toss it in the dishwasher). The minty flavor won’t hurt you but it makes coffee taste weird. Also works to clear stains off old mugs or rubber pieces that have gotten funky.

4·15 days agoMy cousin kill a phone this way. He would leave it on the sink to listen to music while he showered and it died (old house - no exhaust fan). It happens.
We were always told in America anything is possible. I never knew that that was a literal curse.
Wifi? You may as well believe in magic. Buy a box of cable and one of these!

No testers - raw dog it. Party like a Quake party in 1999.
Have you met English? It’s a fucked up amalgamation of meshed up loan words and spellings that don’t sound like they are spelled. There are no rules only vibes. We have grammar police but I feel the same way about them that I do all cops. ACAB.
Our toys are “sexy” too. They are still toys. Why wouldn’t our ancestors have given their kids dolls to play with? Why is every thing from ancient cultures a ceremonial artifact? How many ceremonial items do any of us have in our homes? Why do we like to treat people of the past like an entirely different species? They were humans just like us and behaved very much like we do because they are us. And we give our kids toys. When people dig up landfills a thousand years from now to learn about us they are going to find heaps of discarded plastic toys we made for our kids and then declare they are part of fertility rituals too. As is tradition.


Is the same as this:

They weren’t “fertility idols” they were toys. But thousands of years from now barbie will get the same treatment after they find some collector’s shine in an old basement.
Duuuude where do I get a pair of those for my dog? He hates the snow.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There are probably people walking around that are still "it" 40 years after playing tag on the playground, that don't realize it.
38·26 days agoOh we realize. We are waiting. Poised for the moment you least expect to strike and pass on the dreaded curse of it.
Any day now.

10·27 days agoG-force taking the blood out of the brain.
If a person suddenly stops breathing there is still oxygen in their blood that their brain can utilize. However with strong g-forces the blood can be displaced out of the brain entirely. Think about where the feet will be on the coaster and where the blood would be pushed to.

3·27 days agoThis one. Google isn’t free. It’s augmented reality advertising.


WHO CARES. This fuck can buy a new identical house every hour of every day for the rest of his greedy life and still be disgustingly rich on his deathbed. I genuinely don’t think people comprehend how much money this sociopathic narcissist has.
