Etterra, in history ppl

They both suck.

It exists so that you don’t need to create it with AI

Etterra, in Given the global cultural significance of monobloc chairs this makes sense

If you turn it sideways it looks like a condom designed by H.R. Giger (the guy what designed the xenomorphs).

That’s due to Special Relativity. Of course, some people are relatively more special.

Pantherina, in Every website

Literally all people on regular browsers are soo transparent?

I would never trust Firefoxes builtin blocking even with Arkenfox, so noscript with nothing loading by default, and opt-in on every single website, is the way to go.

lolcatnip, in The future is here.

Who’s that dude and why is he standing next to a William Gibson quote?

Viking_Hippie,

Dale Earnhardt Sr and because leftists from the South decided that he was too good to let the fascists co-opt him like they do with all other southern things, so they beat them to it.

What makes him “too good”? I’m confused by this

Viking_Hippie, (edited )

He was just a very talented and seemingly likeable person who a lot of people loved and admired. The fact that he died young trying to win a race* probably added to his regional hero status.

You’d probably need to understand how big a deal NASCAR really is in some parts of the South to fully get it 🤷

*death actually even MORE badass, see the reply below

He didnt die trying to win, he died blocking for his teammate who was in 1st and his son who was in 2nd on the final lap of the Daytona 500 (the biggest race in NASCAR) his final words were, “Look at them boys go.”

Viking_Hippie,

Ok that’s MORE badass 😁

youtu.be/IxTAJNifDAI?si=8X4PvxUGF55FXpV9 cant recommend this video enough if you want to have a true appreciation of how bad as Dale was on the track

I’m from the south, and I do get how big NASCAR is. I took “too good” to mean morally. Makes sense after reading the reply below.

Pat_Riot, in What is this? Wrong answers only.

That’s a mandolin

Etterra, in O.O

Now you know one reason why you should always ask who a gift is for instead of assuming.

ebenixo,

How would the confusing meme work if we can’t assume that the protag is somehow idiotically/unrealistically confusing their own gift with the dogs?

vynlwombat, in day 10, there's so many stock photo memes here now!

Hate to be the one to point this out, but those aren’t seeds

How do they even come up with this?

RojoSanIchiban, in What's that on the horizon?

“Hey, everybody, there’s a shit cloud coming! Run for your lives!”

theangryseal,

I’ll take shit clouds over shit hawks any day. What was that pigeon that went extinct that used to block out the sky?

Imagine them as shit pigeons.

Terrifying, Ran.

einfach_orangensaft, in Every weekday

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.

Zippit, in 2 genders

I’ve always wondered even as a child why we can’t get rid of genders and just call it human and nonhuman (to include our alien friends).

It would make life so much easier for everybody, except for writers I guess.

samson,

Reactionism, people often feel tied to their gender identity. Gender is a social construct but a very well built construct.

Zippit,

I don’t know, I like my vagina but have often wished I was born male, just for how much easier life would be. This is biased of course.

On the other hand, I’ve never ever been mad or jealous of other people who wanted to change their gender or be themselves sexually (lbgtq+). Isn’t none of my business and people should have the right to do with their genitals as they please. It’s a basic human right, just like abortion.

We should disconnect our bodies from any labels is my point. That way, no government or religion can have an influence on it. The ‘My body, my choice’ is still the right way to go.

electrogamerman,

Religion shouldn’t have an influence on it. Ideally, governments should have an influence on it, but our governments are in a lot of cases ruled by religious idiots.

samson,

Of course that would be nice, but I feel we are a long long way culturally as a species from disconnecting from the gender binary as a whole. I think so strongly of myself as male, and it seems for many queer people that they think of themselves as transgender within that binary. It’s important while we still think this way to vehemently preserve the right to indentify legally in or outside of the gender binary but I totally appreciate that idea as a long term goal.

redcalcium,

My language is not gendered, so yes, writers do have to work harder when they want to imply gender without explicitly mentioning the gender in their writing. But it also makes concealing a character’s gender easier to make it harder to guess the plot.

ebenixo, in Me in a nutshell

Be homeless for a couple of months then tell us how you don’t like setting the alarm.
