I’m a real big fan of grunge. All my discovery feeds are based off nothing but 90’s grunge.

yoz, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

Have you considered killing yourself ?

Dinodicchellathicc,

Are you from my other post lol?

visnudeva, in Do actors all need to agree to casually smoke for some roles?
@visnudeva@lemmy.ml avatar

I have a question of the same kind, how do they do when they clearly sniff coke ? What kind of white powder isn’t harmful to the nose is used in cinema ?

merfolk,
@merfolk@lemmy.world avatar

I believe they use inositol powder.

@fearout@kbin.social avatar

As far as I know, it’s usually crushed vitamin B. Shouldn’t feel like much unless you do dozens of takes.

At least that’s what they used in Mr. Robot.

Thank you for your answers !

neko, in Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?

Instance admins can simply disable downvotes. You don't need them.

teawrecks, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?

Most people I know sleep with a fan on for this reason. Really common, yeah.

whodoctor11, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?
@whodoctor11@lemmy.world avatar

Man I would turn off the activity collect and erase it’s history in myaccount.google.com, besides do the same thing with anything else, like YouTube history. Bad things still show up, but you receive more things related to your subscriptions. When you receive bad things just hit the three points and go to “Don’t recommend this channel” (for me is more effective than “Don’t recommend content like that”).

That’s a very common YouTube complain and have a simple explanation: this alt-right folks are the top adversities on social media. They pay millions to Google to do this.

AdmiralShat, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I buy used flagships.

A 1.5 year old flagship costs the same as a brand new midrange phone, but is significantly better.

I just got a S21 Ultra for cheaper than I would have paid for an A54. (Also Exynos is hot fucking garbage. I wanted to get away from Samsung altogether, but the price on this made sense and I has a snapdragon. Significantly better)

lvxferre, in What is a beautiful concept or idea that continues to blow your mind?
@lvxferre@lemmy.ml avatar

Evolution as a concept; not just biological. The fact that you can explain the rise of complex systems with just three things - inheritance, mutation, selection. It’s so simple, yet so powerful.

Perhaps not surprisingly it’s directly tied to what OP is talking about cellular automata.

dipbeneaththelasers,

There's something interesting in here about the persistence of legacy systems that I can't quite put my finger on. Rest assured I will be consumed by the thought for the remainder of the day.

lvxferre,
@lvxferre@lemmy.ml avatar

There are plenty things that we could talk about legacy systems from an evolutionary approach. It’s specially fun when you notice similarities between software and other (yup!) evolutionary systems.

For example. In Biology you’ll often see messy biological genetic pools, full of clearly sub-optimal alleles for a given environment, decreasing in frequency over time but never fully disappearing. They’re a lot like machines running Windows XP in 2023, it’s just that the selective pressure towards more modern Windows versions was never harsh enough to get rid of them completely.

Or leftovers in languages that work, but they don’t make synchronic sense when you look at other features of the language. Stuff like gender/case in English pronouns, Portuguese proclisis (SOV leftover from Latin in a SVO language), or Italian irregular plurals (leftovers of Latin defunct neuter gender). It’s like modern sites that still need animated .GIF support, even if .WEBM would be more consistent with the modern internet.

treadful,
@treadful@lemmy.zip avatar

DNA still blows my mind. Some weird simple molecules that just happen to like to link together have become the encoding of how complex biological systems are constructed. Then mash two separate sets of DNA together, add a little happenstance, and you have another new being from those three things you mentioned.

heavyboots, (edited ) in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
@heavyboots@lemmy.ml avatar

Anything where the scenery moves, yes I am enjoying it whether I’m riding, biking, hiking, inline skating, trail running, etc. I think part of what works for me is I almost never repeat the same route twice and if I feel myself getting burnt out on one activity I switch it up and do something else. Too much road biking? Go mountain biking? Too much of any kind of biking. Go trail running or inline skating, or at least go for a hike.

But weights and gym stuff? No. Just no, I cannot.

Lucidlethargy, in What is the best anonymous image hosting site?

Pixelfed seems decent!

djsaskdja, in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?
UnelectedReimu, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I bought a Redmi Note 11 pro last year and it’s a great phone! Really though, buying new phones every year is something only well off people can afford (or people who are ok getting into lots of credit card debt). There really is no point right now, newer phones just aren’t that much better and in fact smartphone sales worldwide are slowing down exactly because everyone who wants a good enough smartphone already has one. My current phone does absolutely everything I need, in fact it’s much more powerful than my first laptop ever was, I can emulate most retro consoles, watch uhd videos, use any app I need, listen to all the music I want, I can even do things like use microsoft office on it. I don’t need a new one, this works just perfect for me. The only thing that would make it better is to get it rooted so I can install a custom rom and get rid of xiaomi’s bloatware infested android rom

yoz, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

This can’t be any more clearer

Android TV- install smartnexttube Android phone- Set private DNS to Nextdns and block all ads + install firefox w/ unlock origin Or if you want an app install - newpipe from fdroid app store
