  • why are fitness weights filled with sand?

    Jump

  • sand is cheap. steel is not.

  • How do you objectively tell if a parents "I love you" is actually sincere, if they actually care about you? Or if the words are lies and they don't actually care?

    Jump

  • based on all the questions you've posted lately you desperately need to talk to a psychologist. We don't know your situation, and you need an objective 3rd party with training, experience and a legal requirement of privacy to figure your issues out. Someone you can tell everything to, who won't share it, and can pick through your perceived and actual experiences to guide towards healing.

  • Oh the irony.

    Jump

  • What happened?

    You put all your eggs in one basket then let someone else carry it, that's what happened.

  • How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mother told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering?

    Jump

  • Headphones don't make you go deaf, it's the volume level. Just keep the volume low and your hearing will be fine.

  • Why do communities make 'unpopular opinion' based sub-communities, but can't handle it when someone gives a good one?

    Jump

  • People lie to themselves.

    I want to eat healthy. I want to be a good person. I want to be understanding. Etc.

    People want delicious food, to be an impervious god in eternal control of everything.

  • Where can I see all the websites censored in China?

    Jump

  • Why do all text LLMs, no matter how censored they are or what company made them, all have the same quirks and use the slop names and expressions?

    Jump

  • it's all sixes and sevens, yeah baby

  • I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

    Jump

  • you can use a live USB - you run linux off a USB Thumbdrive as a test. Ubuntu would be a good place to start: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview

    There's a big ol scary warning before entering the installer and before any changes are made to your HDD/SSD, it would take a lot of mistakes in a row to somehow erase Windows by accident while using the Live USB.

  • Anker Survey Tracking

    Jump

  • The link may have an identifying code in it, that was custom generated just for you, and would be different in emails sent to other Anker customers. It would not matter from which device or IP address you viewed it from, if the URL has identifying information in the URL parameters.

  • What are the most popular conspiracy theories?

    Jump

  • Popular conspiracy theories according to me:

    1. Fluoridation of municipal water supplies is some evil government program to disperse drugs / chemicals
    2. Roswell was an alien UFO crash, the aliens / craft are being kept at Area 51.
    3. JFK was not assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald alone. He was killed by the CIA / 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll.
    4. Moon landing was faked
    5. Condensation trails (contrails) from high altitude aircraft are actually chemicals being dispersed by the government (chemtrails)
    6. The Earth (and only the Earth, not the Sun, moon, other planets) is a flat disc.
    7. Automakers have cars that run on water but they refuse to sell them to protect the oil industry.
    8. Global warming / climate change is a hoax to sell solar / wind / hydro power.
    9. Big pharma / doctors have all the cures but they're not selling them to keep you sick & them rich
    10. 9/11 was an inside job (planned by George W. Bush)
    11. COVID-19 vaccines deposited secret microchips in the population

  • What is known or said about darkrooms?

    Jump

  • Well, if you're only doing black and white photography, you can have dim red lights on once you've processed the film into negatives. Black and white photographic paper isn't affected by red light. Color photography is a whole different beast, and all the steps need to be done in complete darkness.

    I guess the one thing said about darkrooms is, "Even when you think you've blocked all the light, there's something you missed that's gonna ruin your first roll of film."

  • how do school shooters know how to use guns?

    Jump

  • parents and family introduce them to guns.

  • What's the thing video players do after lag where they speed up the footage to catch up to the current frame before playing as normal?

    Jump

  • time compression

  • When robots create robots, we would call them as 'robots' too. By the same logic if God created us, robots are humans according to God.

    Jump

  • Ray, when someone asks you if you're a God, you say YES!

  • "The Continental United States" should include Alaska since it's still a part of the same continent, but common usage of the phrase seems to exclude it anyway.

    Jump

  • The phrases "Lower 48" or "contiguous 48 states", are more typical than "the continental United States".

  • Is a faraday bag for a laptop any use?

    Jump

  • Just because the laptop is powered down does not mean that no circuits are getting power. Wake on LAN/WLAN is a thing, and most devices without a physical power switch, (a power bitton is not a switch), mean that there is a miniature power draw listening for that signal. The manufacturer might have other bits that are still active as well, you can't be sure. If your ultra paranoid about state level actors it might be a good idea. If you're just worried about somebody swiping your credit card number or something, probably overkill.

  • Removed

    how do i remove this BS?

    Jump

  • deets? assuming youtube? desktop? mobile? app? browser? which one? shield looks like SponsorBlock? Usually just waiting a sec the UI disappears when you're not moving the mouse on mobile, usually tapping once somewhere except the center of the video. Good luck.

  • what type of laugh is this?

    Jump

  • when the giggle is held back at the end, it's a snicker.

  • META data collection - a post from Mastodon

    Jump

  • if i had an account decades ago (real names only era), and deleted every post (manually) and my account when a .edu wasn't going to be required anymore, and I currently use noscript + uBlock origin, apple devices with Brave, how much of this stuff do you think the company has?

    Do you think my name shows up in other people's accounts even though I don't have an account?
