scytale, in Mickey Mouse is now public domain (Steamboat Willie specifically). What do you think we will see this year?

I just saw a post with an article saying indie filmmakers already scrambling to make a horror movie like the Pooh one.

Critical_Insight, in What's a useful mental model you've put into practice

I’ll let you, OP borrow my brain anyday if you’d like to experience what it’s like to live always expecting things to go wrong.

highenergyphysics,

TIL neurotypicals literally just go about their day and work life just assuming everything will go right

afraid_of_zombies,

That is not what I have observed. I do kinda wonder sometimes however

Me: right so we said we would be there by 630. If we leave within the next five minutes we should be there at 6:25

Wife: it’s fine

Me: just you know we could leave now and no one has to have any anxiety about being late.

Wife: they aren’t going to care

Me: true they won’t really care that much but we did say 6:30. Wouldn’t it be nice to not be worried? Like what if we make a wrong turn and have to double back? We would still be on time if we left now.

Yeah, it’s so alien to me. I’m envious, though, must feel nice.

EdanGrey,

We really don’t

eatthecake,

TIL neurodivergents think neurotypicals are neuroperfect. You’re an idiot.

cheese_greater, (edited )

I’m nothing if not non-neurotypical neurodivergent haha.

dingus,

Right??? Like wtf I thought everyone just thought about how everything could go wrong all the time. You mean people do things and expect to succeed instead of expect to fail??? This is legitimately wild to me.

KpntAutismus, (edited )

i don’t expect things anymore, it goes how it goes. if it doesn’t go how it’s supposed to go, i’ll see if i can fix it.

Critical_Insight,

I wish I could do that. Currently I’m trying to start a bussines, but my mind just keeps coming up with the most unlikely terrible scenarios that might happen and convincing me to never try anything new so that I can’t fuck it up.

AA5B, in What's something you'd like to leave behind in the old year and not carry into the new year?

Lack of motivation. I need to start getting some of this shit done

thatgirlwasfire, in What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?

My mom got me a sweater, where they accidentally sewed the neck/zipper/ tag part inside out. I’m guessing she bought it online and never looked at it.

hperrin, in What are some tech predictions for 2024 that actually could happen?

I’m really hoping my email service gains more traction. People are so accustomed to crappy email providers that the current providers don’t really innovate anymore. I think it will actually have a chance of catching on, because it’s such a different way of doing email.

Check it out: port87.com

emmanuel_car,

Great concept, how do you fund it? I imagine running an email service isn’t cheap.

hperrin,

Right now I’m self funding it. I’m building out the enterprise features, like custom domains and domain user management, so I can start marketing to businesses. I’d like to be able to fund it to profitability without any outside investors.

It’s actually surprisingly affordable to run an email service. Right now my biggest expense is the MySQL server. With one server node plus one backup node I should be able to handle several hundred active users.

Benaaasaaas, in What's something you'd like to leave behind in the old year and not carry into the new year?

80kg :(

Anticorp, in What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?

I haven’t opened any Christmas presents yet. We’re having a late Christmas due to crazy schedules for everyone involved.

Seasm0ke, in What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?

The first opened coffee bag. It has been deposited into the trash and or toilet

Urist,
@Urist@lemmy.ml avatar

How was it?

Seasm0ke,

It was good, even if it was bad we woulda finished it though because coffee is coffee

Honytawk,

Why do you think it was chucked into the trash and or toilet?

Urist,
@Urist@lemmy.ml avatar

Because it belonged to the trash man?

someguy3, in Why was Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan so bad for the American people?

I think Reagan can be summed up as the start of “burn it all down”. He defined the government as the problem and the solution was to demolish it.

SocialMediaRefugee, in Why was Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan so bad for the American people?

He pushed the whole “the government is the enemy” mentality which has made it almost impossible to have national healthcare among other things. The republicans also jumped into bed with Christian fundamentalists at this point and the NRA went from being for gun regulations to no regulations. It was a continuation of the backlash against the 60s that started with Nixon.

confluence, in What are some small things we should change about the human body?

Redesign the spine for vertical use. Don’t put the eating and breathing tubes on either side of the same flap.

foggy,

We should have tons of little breathing holes all over.

Imagine if no one snored?

roguetrick,

While you can create spiracles that repel polar substances like water, you cannot protect them against surfactant like soap. No more showers unless you want to drown.

corsicanguppy,

So you’re saying I can kill a fly with some soap spray.

Wasps too? Those fuckers.

jennwiththesea,
@jennwiththesea@lemmy.world avatar

Wasps, definitely, and it does basically suffocate them. We use a water, dish soap, and peppermint mix on paper wasp nests that form in our eaves.

roguetrick,

You can waterboard them with it. If you want to effectively kill them, I'd recommend using the tried and true neurotoxin option sold at your local grocery store. You can be your own Saddam Hussein without having to hide in the most random places after committing your war crimes.

Tippon,

Never mind snoring, imagine how bad a cold would be!

foggy,

Yeah but we would have probably made weird body suits to deal with that by now if it were that big a deal.

We’re really, really bad at preventing problems, but were the best problem solvers we’ve ever found.

Seems just about every other animal is great at preventing problems. We’re the opposite.

key,
@key@lemmy.keychat.org avatar

So we’d have to be naked to breath at full capacity?

theneverfox,
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

Not necessarily. I’m far from sold on the idea, but lungs are able to take in enough oxygen to hyperventilate easily, clothes would reduce the maximum air intake to some extent, but from l full capacity would be max you need to breathe to max out your muscles - everything past that would be excess capacity

If we’re going for redundancy and throughput, clothes probably would be more useful as a filter than being a limiter (and filtration is why I’m not on board with this design)

ImTryingLemmy,

Yes, food hole and air hole should be separate

GreenDust,
scytale, in What are some small things we should change about the human body?

Make a full night’s sleep like 4 hours or something. As long as our corporate overlords don’t take advantage and make it a 12 hour workday.

Malfeasant,

They would.

balderdash9, in What are some small things we should change about the human body?

Reduce max fingernail length pls

RampageDon, in What are some small things we should change about the human body?

Hair and nails not constantly growing

Your body not over reacting to things (allergies and auto immune)

Che_Donkey,
@Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml avatar

Right? Im very cool with rhe whole balding thing but for fuck sake can I not be Chewbacca walking carpet from the neck down?

foggy,

Hunger annoys me.

Like, yo, tummy: I have not failed to feed you in over 30 years. Maybe don’t cause me physical pain and nausea? A simple grumble is fine until it gets actually serious, ok?

Kase,

goes a few hours without eating

Tummy: panik

A simple grumble would be perfect. Sometimes I get really hungry annoyingly quickly, and other times I don’t get hungry and go way too long before remembering to eat. It’d be really great if I could just program my body to just give me a lil popup reminder after a certain number of hours.

theneverfox,
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

I will tell you, it’s not that hard to train your body to treat hunger differently. You just need to fast now and then, most religions have guidelines for this. It doesn’t take much to give you hunger resistance, and it makes a huge difference… You become less affected by low blood sugar and able to ignore hunger when you need to

After your body adjusts, hunger becomes cyclical - you feel hungry, maybe even nauseous, but then it goes away after a couple minutes. If you’re doing something, it’s so easy to ignore you forget about it

stingpie,

Sometimes strokes can destroy the area of the brain that controls hunger. They require alarms to consistently eat, sleep, etc. I remember one story about a guy who put all these alarms on his watch. One day, his watch runs out of batteries, so his alarms stop completely. A couple days later, he calls the hospital because he couldn’t get out of bed. Turns out he hadn’t eaten anything the whole time. In short, you’ll probably forget to eat without any signal you have to.

Phil_in_here,

So you want hair and nails to grow consciously?

Like if I want to grow my hair out, I need to actively concentrate on it for a year? Or can I grunt out a moustache like a cartoon? Both are problematic.

xigoi,
@xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

You consciously initiate the process and then it grows on its own, with the option to manually stop.

Kase,

Ooh can I be Rapunzel/Wolverine? Both at the same time, that is. Oh and I’ll take Dumbledore’s beard.

theneverfox,
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

I would like the ability to change the speed of growth. Like, when you overeat, I’d love to just crank up hair and nail growth to burn away the excess

confluence, in The transition from the holiday season back to the normal drudgery is so depressing. Is there any way to make Jan / Feb less depressing?

Taking down my Yule decor, setting up for Imbolc!

ReiRose,

Yes! This is the true solution to the holiday blues (and may other problems). Become Pagan. Our celebrations are 13 + 8 every year, plus multiple life events and “because I want to” times.
