and this is why i get so tired of people saying it’s bad to have a big instance like mastodon.social, like bro do you fucking want the platform to be successful or not? it seems like people just want a small isolated place to circlejerk each other rather than something globally useful.
i have to wonder if banks actively don’t want us to use them
that was one example of where they are used lol
this is such a nonsense argument, people navigate email just fine despite every single platform sending emails from their own domain.
wat? most things taste fine with just some salt lol, salt is the universal seasoning, this is basic cooking knowledge.
Other seasonings are great too, but without salt you’ll always have something kinda sad, and salt doesn’t strictly need anything else.
…i know how seasoning works, my point is that i don’t care and just adding salt after is still perfectly fine, potatoes are inherently tasty with just a little salt added at any point.
the seasoning i don’t care about, you can just add as much salt as you want at the table and it’s fine, but man they need to go for like at least another 10 minutes.
i agree, it’s time to let the next generation take over, grandpa
the irony of their post is absolutely off the charts lmao
it’s part of the appeal for me, it’s nice when things are fun
yeah sure, “cuter”, definitely nothing to do with “toot” being slang for “small fart”.
wouldn’t you then just break it up into chunks of 72 bytes, hash them individually, and concatenate the hashes? And if that’s still too long, split the hash into 72 byte chunks and repeat until it’s short enough?
there’s yellow paint and an indent on the back of the car, in the path of the bollard, which looks quite real to me and feels like a lot of effort to go into for an internet post
edit: now that i think about it some more, and look closer, i’m gonna wager that they did really hit the bollard and maybe fucked up the car, but they then posed things to fake the bollard going through the car. It’s convenient how the first photo hides the base of the bollard and the area where it would pierce the car, and the second one could quite easily be two separate photos with the middle of the bollard erased to match the outline of the car’s rear.
that still feels like a massive insult to tony stark, like stark did quite specifically save the universe didn’t he? pretty sure he’s supposed to be the quintessential hero who is very much imperfect but still ultimatly does good.
i don’t get why they’d do stuff like that in general, you just… don’t fucking refer to living people in media that’s set in the future lol, precisely for this reason!
it’s also kind of cringey to talking about currently living people because it feels like such a cheap grab at being relatable, “ooooo we’re talking about [person who is currently popular], that’s right, someone from your specific time period is relevant in the future!”
the one way you can do it in a decent way is to have it be an offhand remark, and even then you better be quite certain that they’re not going to suddenly start lighting orphanages on fire 5 years after everyone’s seen your production.
this depends heavily on the specific candy/dessert IMO, solid sugar candy is fine because it dissolves slowly, but some stuff just detonates a sugar bomb on your tongue and it genuinely makes me shudder in bone-deep rejection of something that must be poison.
Swedish desserts are generally really enjoyable to me because they have a bunch of savoury with the sugar mostly coming from some sort of jelly or stuffing, like in cinnamon buns.
it’s dead simple: lemmy is like 90% nerds
yeah i was thinking more the ability to pull water out of exposed moist stuff, anything that would get dehydrated when exposed to regular dry air.
to pull moisture out of cells and the blood you’d need to break cells, which is on the same level of power as bloodbending.
even without true bloodbending, imagine how miserable it would be to have someone pull the moisture out of your mouth and eyes… Living with dry air is bad enough, and that follows the laws of physics
I would say it’s largely a problem of big cities being where everything has centralized these days, and said cities failing to provide enough housing and/or sufficiently good transportation in and out of the city.
Britain and basically all countries need to stop spending money on useless roads that get backed up with traffic when 4 people want to use them at the same time, and instead invest the money in railways. London is so stupidly huge and important that the metro network should be like twice as large, and it should also have a network of express metro lines extending even further from the city as well as proper high speed rail connecting all the way to Glasgow.
