So intelligent talking people-rats can run a five-star restaurant but can’t understand the concept of hygiene? Why? Because “Rats are unsanitary”, apparently. Sounds pretty bigoted. Sounds like you found a big-worded sciency way of calling them icky. You’re a scientific ratcist.
If they have to live in the walls and don’t have sanitary living conditions that’s a societal issue, also due to deeply entrenched anti-rodent bigotry.
I can’t wait for Ben Shapiro to clip this and use it as evidence of the crazy woke left.
Idk if you had intelligent talking people-rats like in the movie then being excluded from whole industries just because people think they’re icky would actually be pretty bigoted.
You’re right, they aren’t trying to make something sustainable. I guess I was giving them too much credit when I said that.
The problem they’re facing here is that if they can’t sustain even the appearance of a functioning site that investors might want to buy, then they fail at that too.
So maybe the best way to fix this is just to ride it out and not close the subs, but if they’re just full of users that have finally clocked why mods are needed and that the place sucks now, that’s also a bad look.
If the search engines start to realise that it’s a cesspit with nothing worth linking to anymore, then that really hits their metrics. I’ve just realised I really need to get onto downloading my posts and deleting them.
Seems like the way for reddit to “solve” this is to just close bad subs.
But that’s easily exploited, if people migrate to other subs and start protesting the sub closures, those subs get worse and they need to be closed…
Oh no, reddit, did you just discover that you relied on your users to make your site good and by screwing them over you’ve made your entire business unsustainable at scale?
Also, somewhat related, is there a short snappy name for lemmy communities? Some people call them subs out of habit but I don’t wanna do that, and “communities” is four whole syllables, and ain’t nobody got time for that.
I have firefox and ublock and they’re not always working, so I just open the video url in any video player that supports it. In potplayer I just copy the video url and use ctrl+v in the main video window and it opens with no issues.
If we’re just trying to make a proportional change, then the area formula is all you need, since we can assume the height should be roughly the same between them.
It really should be a simple calculation. In fact, you don’t even need pi, since that’s a common factor. All you need is the ratio between diameters squared.
If you want to go from 12" to 16" recipes, you take (16/12)^2 ~= 1.8
So just multiply all the amounts by that factor and it should be about right. If it’s not, adjust it a bit for next time.
I’d say they’re different to bone apple tea because that’s a nonsense phrase whereas these could conceivably stand in for the original.
Eggcorn in particular has somewhat replaced acorn in a region of the US where those words sound the same, and the reason it’s not wrong is because it is a corn - a seed - and it does have an egg shape in it, so “eggcorn” is descriptively accurate.
“Gay coated” is just an amazing eggcorn that I have never heard before.
So eggcorns are misheard phrases that are then reinterpreted in a way that still makes sense in context, and that video makes the point that they’re not actually wrong, and sometimes they can compete with the original phrase.
The original term is “gay coded”, as in the creators have used commonly recognised “code” to signal that the characters are gay.
But I actually love the idea that they’re just slathered in the gay, just lubed up head to toe.
Memes. They hijack pop culture and turn it into a dogwhistle, like if you’ve seen people randomly saying “is that a jojos reference?” underneath some worryingly bigoted comment on youtube, they’re trying to indicate that they’re a fellow right wing asshole. For a long time “subscribe to pewdiepie” was used. Both references had some nazi connection, like jojos had a nazi character, and pewdiepie flirted with nazi stuff in a deniable way.
The point is that it’s silly and innocuous so that if anybody tries to call it out then they can just gaslight them and point out how silly it is, and they’re clearly making something out of nothing.
