Excrubulent, to lemmyshitpost in Rat snacks

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.

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.

Did you kill them with a plunger?

Whemp, video doesn’t lie. I guess the first law of thermodynamics is wrong.

This was the original concept for R2-PO.

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.

It botheres me that it’s -59% and not -69%.

It’s not because 69 is all that funny, but because it’s not very funny. It was a low effort joke that Elon dragged into the toilet and pissed all over, so it belongs in there with the rest of them.

I guess “subs” isn’t exactly a reddit specific term. I don’t even know if it started there tbh.

I’ve just realised there’s nothing wrong with taking some of the language they used, we are after all following the basic link aggregator format.

I like “group” actually. It’s short and descriptive.

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.

Well thankfully they’ll be easy to defeat.

You’re fucking the guy, he likes his name being said and it turns you off? How’d you get to that point? You don’t have a nickname? I don’t care if your name is Rumplestiltskin, if you want me to say your name I am making deep eye contact and saying it and I will mean it. I will moan it. Nothing is better than knowing what my partner wants so I can give it to them.

Normalise following orders like a good sub.

Excrubulent, to cooking in How much flour would I need for an XL pizza?
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

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.

The overlap between people who love trains and people who are good at engineering is pretty high though.
