rhythmisaprancer, to science_memes in Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

One of the craziest interactions I have seen was when a Peregrine Falcon attacked a Canada Goose in flight. We were watching the goose fly up canyon and the peregrine must have thought it was too close to its nest or something. Only time I've heard a goose make a sound like that!!

Is this a Mitch Hedberg joke???

rhythmisaprancer, to asklemmy in What news source or sources are you go tos
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

I just took a quick look at All Sides. How does it compare to Media Bias/Fact Check? I don't know how to "fact check" either one of these sources but that's what I have to do so.

Thanks for sharing All Sides, it is new to me.

rhythmisaprancer, (edited ) to asklemmy in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

I don't know if this is unpopular or not, but I really don't like hearing about folks' medical history. Like yes, I know you have anxiety/diabetes/whatever because you tell me every single time I see you. I, too, have a condition that requires me to take multiple pills everyday for my whole life, but you'd never know it bc I don't make it my identity. I'd rather not, and I'd rather not others who aren't facing death do it. On some cases I guess it speaks to the status of mental health care in my country since it almost seems like a cry for help that I just cannot answer.

rhythmisaprancer, to asklemmy in What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

I was never a reddit member and so may miss some of that nuance, but I vote for things I enjoyed reading or for folks I enjoyed interacting with. I thought about down voting one thing, but then leaned that group didn't work that way. The whole point was to say something that was against the grain.

I didn't know about the down votes, thanks for sharing.

If two people are just bickering back and forth, they both get downvotes.

You made me think of this:

rhythmisaprancer, to privacyguides in Perfectly legal for cars to harvest your texts, call logs
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

This, and the other things I read about (like subscriptions for heated seats) are what will lead to some bizarre third party hack market for cars. Instead of taking a new vehicle to a place for custom pinstriping or whatever, folks will get them privatized.

rhythmisaprancer, to datahoarder in That many people need old Ubuntu installations?
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

I don't know about now, but my first Linux OS was Ubuntu and I appreciated the long support because of this. That was in the dial up days, tho, I can't imagine why anyone would require that now ☠️

rhythmisaprancer, to linux in [Old 1997 story] The Greatest OS That (N)ever Was
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

Wow, big memory trip! It was os/2 warp, I saw that package and knew it!

Dad worked for IBM in the 70s, no surprise. I also remember him having an OS box with a penguin on it but I don't believe he ever installed it. ~95ish.

This is funny because 2008 is also when I got stuck on it. Interesting read, thanks for sharing!

Gosh my dad ran that in the early 90s. Was that Linux? He was then and still is a Microsoft person.

This is awesome. I only know some of one other language but am not as fluent in it. This is good to know, thanks!

Well this changes that Alice In Chains song for me 🕳️

But this is something that makes English both frustrating and fascinating!

rhythmisaprancer, to news in U.N. votes to end US embargo on Cuba; US and Israel oppose
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

This seems like such a no brainier but the US always says no.
