  • {Closed} [New Rule Vote] - No AI Slop - (July 2025)

    Jump

  • Most of the fun is that people actually wear the shirts out in public. If it's AI then it's more like a comic strip with a funny shirt.

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

    Jump

  • The new Twitter has an 'x' in the top right corner that does not close the page. Asshole design.

  • Trump's polling has hit a new low! Surely these low opinion polls are the final straw. /s

  • Disposable products are getting out of hand

  • Is it a meat smoker?

  • Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets?

    Jump

  • Sounds like your basing this on a new tech vs. old tech? Not looking at safety rates?

    You can achieve airspeed at 35 mph in a small enough craft. A propeller plane is simply slower. Airplanes as a whole are extremely safe. Turbulance is normal and not a sign of the aircraft failing.

  • Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Firefox (long term user) and my backup is Brave (in case something isn't displaying right) and my extra backup is Chrome which I hope to never use. And then there's IE that I used to download those.

  • 70% of games that require internet get destroyed [Accursed Farms]

    Jump

  • I checked and Vollyball is, but the other variants are not.

  • 70% of games that require internet get destroyed [Accursed Farms]

    Jump

  • We lost so many good ones when Flash died.

    Like Slime Vollyball still works, but we lost Slime Basketball/Bowling and all the versions. And a thousand more just like it that are gone now. https://oneslime.net/

    The number will eventually approach 99.9%.

  • Are we only comparing the best of the best in each? Because both can be great in their best form.

    But if I had to pick one and lose the other, for the good of society, I can't imagine the videos are helping more than the written word is helping.

    For example, we've only had 1 president in the USA since television who was shorter than 5'11.5", Jimmy Carter. We refuse to elect short people now that we can see them.

  • Videos can be misleading, unhelpful, and fail to paint the whole picture. Look no further than the society we live in today, where loads of fake videos get pumped out and then we need written articles to explain all the things wrong with the video.

    Obviously fake info can be written down too, but we have a much bigger problem with fake videos. TikTok is the modern equivalent of a newspaper. Newspapers have laws about what they're allow to print. At least half the stuff on TikTok is engagement bait, ads, political ads, etc.

    In which era were people better informed? Print era or video era?

  • Because the app seems to think "ad free" can include ads as long as they carry a "skip" button. Which are still ads.

  • Yeah ad blockers are great for that. I know from experience Peacock with ads will all be blocked if you have an ad blocker. But that only works on my computer not my Roku.

  • It clearly says it's on the paid tier only?

    Not that I care much one way or the other. I'm still frustrated with HBO Max selling me "ad free" and then putting a skippable ad at the start of every video. It's not ad free if there's a "skippable" ad! I paid extra specifically so I wouldn't have to see that.

  • Did you know Taylor Swift was named after Albert Einstein?

    Jump

  • Did you know that comedian Albert Brooks was born "Albert Einstein" and changed the last name for Hollywood?

  • Dreams are extremely forgettable because the plot is flimsy, the dialogue is uninspired, and the acting is lifeless.

    Jump

  • It's what your brain is thinking about during your rest state. If your dreams are frantic, frighting, memorable; you're not resting. If your dreams are forgettable, not troubling, you're probably resting well.

    Is it time for blue states to pause gun laws?

    Jump

  • So that's a 'yes' to my civil war question?

  • Removed

    Is it time for blue states to pause gun laws?

    Jump

  • Gun laws in most blue states aren't nearly as restrictive as you probably assume.

    Also what's the goal here? Civil war?

    This country has 65,000 gun stores. 300+ million people. That's a gun store for every ~5,000 people. A "small" town of 10-15k has 2-3 gun stores. Everyone has a lot of guns. Everyone.

  • I'm pretty sure Friar Lawerence smoked weed.

    Jump

  • The 1500's. They had hemp rope. But a Friar smoking weed is not something I think you're gonna see historical evidence of.

  • How much is this jar of coins worth?

  • You were closest! It was $79.85
