  • Why is the process of initializing and starting software called 'execute'?

    Jump

  • Is to carry out a death sentence.

  • Example : at one point it was seen as obscene to talk about copulation, coit and fornication. So, for the houses where the king approved fornication, they simply created a modest acronym F.U.C.K. (short for : Fornication Under King’s Consent) that later became itself seen as (of course) obscene.

    I believe that theory has been debunked and 'fuck' is from low German, meaning 'to strike'.

  • What Did Y'all Buy on Black Friday?

    Jump

  • I don't need a whole pineapple to cook a hawaiian pizza.

  • What Did Y'all Buy on Black Friday?

    Jump

  • Yeah, pineapple pieces in tins.

  • what's a cool gift? (like an infinity mirror)

    Jump

  • I bought myself a lava lamp because yes, they're cool. Takes an hour to warm up, though. I usually lose my focus on it before that.

  • Burger buns. Salad greens. Tinned pineapple.

  • What's the story behind your username and avatar?

    Jump

  • As a child in the local library, I always passed the large print section and there was always this one book there: The Spitting Image. It had a furious-looking gargoyle on the cover and it used to scare me at first, but over time it seemed goofier and goofier. And since as an adult I have to fight the urge to be goofy when I should be serious, I felt like it was suitable.

  • Are they still underpants if you aren't wearing pants?

    Jump

  • I suggest establishing a formal hierarchy of -pants, with individual terms to distinguish shape, purpose and colour in conjunction with effective and/or absolute layer. And you should be the one to do it, because I don't have time for that.

  • What would be a valuable thing to have memorized by heart?

    Jump

  • It's useful if you're a network engineer or a web designer.

  • Why are the you are the problem comments so common on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • The times I've said have been because I genuinely thought the OP was the unreasonable one in the described situation.

  • Do you think you’d be able to identify a given Gatorade’s color just by taste?

    Jump

  • Nope. I've only drunk two Gatorades, both blue. The first one convinced me I prefer coke, the second one was when I had gastric flu, hadn't eaten in three days and badly needed to replace some electrolites. I was a rosebush at that point, if my memory is reliable.

  • AI Youtube Videos are like going to the garbage and remixing everything so it's shiny and new.

    Jump

  • I'm sure they plan to make even more money later on when AI is no longer a free service.

  • What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?

    Jump

  • It's like eating wet sawdust.

  • What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?

    Jump

  • mathematically it makes more sense

    Care to show your work?

  • Grated carrots are not food.

  • Non-US Lemmings, how is Christmas celebrated where you are?

    Jump

  • New Zealand here. Most of us don't do a lot of decorating, but some people are really into it. My wife has put up a mini-tree already. The big one comes out on December 1st, even though I argue that's too early. We like to have an outdoor BBQ on Christmas Day, as it's generally shorts weather.

  • If cigarettes are called "cancer sticks", then cigars are "cancer logs".

    Jump

  • What's chewing tobacco, then?

  • How is it called to be able to add "rulers" or "paths" to the vision for orientation?

    Jump

  • Would you count that as a Head-Up Display?

  • You are the fourth Wise Man that nobody talks about. What did you attempt to bring the baby Jesus that they cut you out of all the stories?

    Jump

  • Vaccines.

    Come on people, do you want the son of God to get whooping cough?!

    (For the record, I'm in favour of science-based medical care, including vaccines. I shouldn't have to say that. What's the world coming to?)
