Tigtone. It’s so weird and disturbing to watch,yet hilarious. Perfect



One time I was out walking someplace and a woman was walking about 20 feet in front of me. I just took out my phone and called my wife and rather loudly announced where I was walking to, asked her about her day etc. The woman visible seemed to relax.


I always go with experiences over stuff. I want to do something with the people I care about and collect memories instead of things. It gives people the freedom to be as frugal or lavish as they want and I don’t have to store or return anything.


10 people were killed in an oil well explosion in 1955. A large group of people had gathered to watch the well be torpedoed (early form of fracking). There’s a small plaque at the site now. It’s next to a pretty good brewery. https://wchsutah.org/miscellaneous/escalante-well-explosion.php


Kind of… It’s really that weird bridge period between the two generations. 1980 seems to be the sweet spot. The further your birth year is from it, in either direction, the less tech savvy they seem to be.


Also, the first time using a mouse for look/steer-ing. Before that (e.g. Doom 1/2 etc.) you just used the arrow keys.


No, it was genuinely bad. Yes bugs, but it was also the classic example of corporate overlords forcing “creativity” and hoping that the licensed property would make it a success regardless of the quality.


I’ll go with a classic, “E.T. the extraterrestrial” on the Atari… It was bad. It’s badness is legendary for a reason.


Mormonism isn’t true, but she’s worth it. (not the girl you think I’m talking about, she dumps you while you’re on your mission.)


I missed Rush Hour 1/2, is it a prequel to the first Rush Hour? 😉


Same here. I write software for a living, but my philosophy logic course was gave me a huge lead as the ability to deconstructe what people say into logic blocks is the first step of writing code.


Well, the research says that therapy is great, but only after you’re on meds. You don’t lack willpower, it’s a physiological problem that needs to be addressed by medical care.


In order to consolidate power the Trump allies multiple factions of right wing nut jobs. I one of which is the anti-vax group. Most of the covid knee-jerk reaction was to appease this group. The leaders need to keep the loyalty of the groups, so when a pet issue of a group comes up in the main public discourse the sub-group demands the leaders act, the leaders then tell the rest of their followers what to think and do.


I have been looking for an alternative. Haven’t really found one yet.



One of my all-time favorites. Whenever I have to point to something on a map, I always say “Dot!” with a Leeloo accent… no one gets it.


I get the best eye-rolls followed by smiles from my wife when I say: “you choo-choo choose me?”




What's the difference between the sort options in lemmy?
Reddit refugee trying to understand the differences. Maybe I'm missing something but it's not obvious what the difference is between "Active", "Hot", "Top" etc. Any place I can get an explanation?
