I’m on Lemmy.world because it’s the only instance I could make a account on the day Reddit shut down the API. All of the other popular instances had account creation stopped because of the flood of people.

I could probably make an account on another instance, but I’m pretty lazy. I honestly don’t know what the benefit of using another instance would be.

Oh man, that just reminded me that PB Crisps existed. Fuckin loved those things.

Good point. I think launching them at the sun would probably be more effective.

Oh, so like Donald Trump?

For android it’s power+volume up to bring up the power options menu (shutdown, restart, etc) and there is a “lock down” option that disables biometric unlock.

Wish I could do it with one hand, but good to know it’s there.

Yup. I can say for sure that SSDs were certainly a game changer, but now we have systems with like 10x the processing power that operate at the same speeds because the power has been spent on poorly optimized code and bloatware.

Sigh… I’m going to have to start fucking around with Linux, aren’t I?

The worst part is that Windows can do that, but Microsoft insists on enshittifying it. Like Windows 11 isn’t that terrible if it wasn’t for all of the data collection and advertisements and other shit.

I miss the Windows 7 days where you could download a stripped down ISO that was just the OS. It launched your programs of choice and didn’t suck up your battery running unnecessary junk.

I always liked “Master Race in Outer Space” by The Vandals. It’s about loading all of the nazis into rockets and launching them to the moon. Good stuff.

Plain NY slice from the window on the counter. Something about that 2nd heat up really brings the crisp out.

Not me but a buddy of mine was a “Cheese Monger”. I always found that one pretty funny.

Also when I was in high school, I was going through a book of prefessions in “Careers” class and I found “Chick Sexer”. Heh… Heheh… Chick Sexer.

I used one of those short term financing things to buy a video card a couple years back. I think I paid 4% interest over 3 months which wasn’t bad at all considering my original plan was to put it on my credit card and pay it off over 3 months at like 20% interest. As long as you have the means to pay these things back, they aren’t bad at all. If you cannot pay them back, they can and will fuck you in every orafice with no lube.

Not quite correct. The 2020 image should have a car completely covered in a dust of green pollen because city planners only planted male trees for decades because female trees would produce fruit or seed and be a “nuisance” and/or create trash/animal bait etc…

But if they only planted female trees, they would never get fertilized, so they wouldn’t produce fruit anyway… Or pollen.

Worst case scenario, they would produce fruit, and cities would still smell bad and have rodent problems. But without the allergies.

There is no cow level.

I have really annoying hearing. I’m not sure how to fully describe it but my ears are super tuned into sounds. Very often I will be sitting with my wife or somebody else and I am like “do you hear that?” and they are like “wtf are you talking about?” and I have to be like “Shhh… That! Did you hear it?” and they are like “no wtf” and then I’m like “Wait no no… Wait… That! Did you hear it?” and they are like “Wait yeah… How tf did you hear that while we were talking? Were you paying attention?” and I’m like “No, I wasn’t because I kept hearing this noise”…

Like… Sometimes people’s voices just sound like noises and I can’t hear them unless I focus because my ears are listening to the noises around me. It can be really frustrating.

The spooky orange filling Oreo Cookies. They just hit different.

Ahh yes. Reminds me of my teenage years. Experimenting with Marijuana, pirated MP3s, and the Milkdrop visualization plugin for Winamp. Those were good times… Real good times.

I don’t understand why anything anti capitalism these days is automatically communism. It’s such a large swing from one side to the other. I just want my taxes to pay for healthcare, infrastructure, and education instead of wars and prisons. I want to stop getting fucked by corporations that have infinitely more money than I can ever imagine. I don’t think that makes me a communist. I’m just anti-fucking-the-people. Capitalism can fuck people. Communism can fuck people too. I support Corpo-Politico-Celibacism. Stop the fucking.

Edit: Okay, fuck the people. You guys must have this figured out.

Oh man, that reminds me of the time that I was trying to record a demo for my friends band. They had a PA system, and apparently the 1/4 cable that went from the main speaker to the other carried power. I didn’t know this. I plugged it into the sound card on my PC. I’m super lucky that all it did was fry my sound card. It died so fast.

Sigh…

When I was in the 3rd grade, our class had to do reports on countries around the world and we were all assigned a country. I got Egypt. Coincidentally, some friends of my parents had recently gotten back from a trip to Egypt. My parents asked their friends if there was anything I could bring in to use for my presentation. They let me borrow this little statue they got. It was an eagle with a hat, I think it was a depiction of Horus. It was carved out of some really nice white stone, maybe marble or something? I brought it into school, put it on my desk, and waited patiently to stand up and do my report. When I stood up, I bumped my desk, and the statue fell to the ground and broke in half.

Now monetarily this may not have been the most “expensive” thing, but it was the souvineer that this family brought back from Egypt that they had on their mantle to always remember the trip. It was priceless.

Why the fuck would you let a 7 year old bring your breakable souvineer to school for a class project?

Anyway, those people stopped being friends with my parents after that, so I have a feeling it was either expensive or meant a lot.

This hurts me to think about. Why did you have to ask this question?
