ch00f,

I literally bought a Lightphone II because I was spending too much time on reddit. Like, I’d stay in bed for an hour just scrolling.

I’ve recently slacked off and started keeping my iPhone (on wifi) next to me when I sleep. I loose interest in like 20 minutes.

I’ve made a point of not posting or commenting on reddit since the recent debacle, but it’s really frustrating when I have some OC that would be great for a niche community that just doesn’t exist in any real numbers on lemmy.

like Playdate dev or Framework laptop.

Magnetic soap holder.

You shove a little metal bit into your soap bar, and the bar dangles from a magnet on a stand that holds it over the sink.

Soap dries quickly, no scum in the soap dish, any drippage falls right into the sink.

Only downside is the magnet falls out when the bar gets smaller, so you have to mash the old bar into the bottom of the new one to keep from wasting it.

Electric cars are indeed much worse for the climate at production time than combustion cars likely will be throughout their entire lifetime.

Break even point is currently around 13k miles though it depends on where you live.

And that’s not even counting the growing market of battery recyclers.

Buying a new car is worse than keeping an old one

Also, what do you think happens to your car when you replace it with an electric car? Do most people just drive their old cars into the ocean when they upgrade?

ch00f,

I swear there has been a big uptick on the other site of videos depicting and celebrating the brutalization of shoplifters.

I think people are increasingly inclined to just hate poor people.

ch00f,

I picked up a Solitaire app. ScreenTime says I played 6.5 hours last week.

ch00f,

It might fall back on the actual images in that instance. Captchas are a lot more advanced now. The ones where you just click “I am not a robot” use cookies to track your browser history and make sure it looks organic. Identifying images alone has gotten too easy.

ch00f,

It’s actually checking your mouse movement to see if it looks natural or robotic. You can get a few wrong and it’ll still pass you.

ch00f,

Eh, I would argue that having a scratched screen goes beyond a cosmetic issue. It tangibly downgrades your experience.

Plastic scratches much easier than glass cracks.

ch00f,

Autocorrect. Akira

ch00f,

One of my favorites is in Volver. The woman murders her husband and had to come to the door when a neighbor knocks. She has blood splattered on her face.

The English translation has her explain “I cut myself,” while the original Spanish is a much funnier “women’s troubles,” which better explains the confused look on the neighbor’s face.

In Akita Akira , didn’t the English dub totally change the gender of one of the characters?

ch00f,

I was thinking of Lady Miyako I think. I’m not a super big anime fan, I just remember a friend telling me about that when we saw it during a theater showing. In one of the American dubs, she has a man’s voice.

Alita Battle Angel

Fight when she’s like 100% gonna die, but she pulls it off.

ch00f,

Same here! It was during the MoviePass heyday, so basically once a week we’d eat dinner near the theater and go see whatever was playing. We were definitely pleasantly surprised.

ch00f,

Fear of robotic dogs.

2003-2007 will never be beaten when it comes to heist movies.

Though don’t get me started on how many things are called “holograms.”

Pepper’s ghost isn’t a hologram. It’s just a reflection with more steps.

ch00f,

Because OP didn’t want to pay for content-aware fill.

ch00f,

‘Twas joke

ch00f,

I’m using the Thunder app and none of your links work. What’s the best way to get to a linked community in Thunder?

ch00f,

Classically, mirrors used silver metal, and black and white photographs used silver halide. So strictly speaking, a digital or even color film camera would work.

ch00f,

Back in like 2013, there was a fruit cream soda with Shaquille O’neal branding called “Shaq Soda.” I think there was strawbeery and blueberry cream flavor.

I bought one at 7-11 and brought it to the bar across the street and asked them to make me a “Shaq and Jack.”

It was not good.

ch00f,

I love how some old military tech is like some shit an 8 year old would think up.

As someone who has operated a camera before, I have a hard time believing this camera ever took a single useful picture.
