In this case, since it’s two different communities, nottheonion and offbeat, I don’t think there’s a way to do that.

jordanlund, to asklemmy in Thoughts on reddit reposter bots?
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Useless. It separates the content from OP so they never see replies. Worse than spam, spam at least has a point to it.

jordanlund, to movies in which movie has Danny trejo's best acting?
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Not his BEST, but he has a blink and you miss it cameo in Runaway Train, I think that was his first movie. Playing an inmate in an Alaskan prison.

jordanlund, to asklemmy in When/how do you think capitalism will be defeated?
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

“Defeated” implies being stopped by an external force, I don’t see that happening.

It will collapse under it’s own weight in less than a century.

jordanlund, to asklemmy in Does anyone else feel like every year is like the movie 'Groundhog Day'? Same holidays, same birthdays, same work week, etc
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

As you get older, it speeds up too!

I recognize it’s not quite New Years, but soon it will feel like I turned around and, crap! How is it 4th of July already?

I generally respond with “Yeah, wake me up when Gnu has it’s own bootable kernel… it’s only been 34 years…”

jordanlund, to asklemmy in What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

The Monty Hall problem.

You are given a choice of three doors, let’s call them 1, 2, and 3.

Behind one of the doors is a fabulous prize. Behind the other two are joke prizes worth nothing.

You are asked to pick a door. It doesn’t matter which one you choose, because it’s not opened inmediately.

Instead, the host opens one of the doors you did not pick to reveal the gag gift.

He then asks you if you want to change your choice.

What are the chances of winning? Should you choose a different door, or keep your existing choice?

The math says, your chance of winning if you stay with your choice is 1/3. Revealing the contents of one door does not change that, it’s still 1/3.

Switching to the other door gives you a 2/3 chance of winning. Not 1/2 or 1/3.

“If the car is behind Door 1, you lose. If the car is behind Door 2, Monty would have opened Door 3, so you would switch to Door 2 and win. If the car is behind Door 3, he would have opened Door 2, so you would switch to Door 3 and win. The odds of winning with the “Switch” strategy are two in three, double the odds of staying.”

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Stanley Kubrick never made an original film, they are all adaptations of other creators original works.

jordanlund, to asklemmy in Are there any people who were offended by Norm MacDonald's comedy? Was he controversial, or nah?
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I think the only person offended was that one NBC executive who was buddies with noted double murderer OJ Simpson.

jordanlund, to asklemmy in What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Temple of Apshai

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Apshai

You’ve never heard of it, and modern RPGs wouldn’t exist without it.

jordanlund, to archaeology in Many prehistoric handprints show a finger missing. What if this was not accidental?
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

OR - now bear with me here… OR one or more fingers were curled under when the tracing was made for reasons we can’t comprehend.

Maybe it was some ancient numbering system, or an attempt at a calendar. There’s really no way to know.

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

If you own a home, your address is already a matter of public record.
