The technology behind it isn't new, but The Thought Emporium is a Youtuber who:

1: DIY-d a genetically modified virus to cure his own lactose intolerance (successfully)

2: Is currently working on a biological computer that runs on animal neurons.

3: Has livestreams where the viewers submit ideas (like making tomatoes spicy) and he designs DNA to accomplish it.

Also he helped shut down a scam health product that contained radioactive material which isn't particularly futuristic (actually it reminds me of the "radiation is good for you" craze in the early 20th century) but I wanted to mention it anyways.

While this is funny, I'm pretty sure it isn't real (or it was intentionally written poorly)- It doesn't make any sense in Chinese either, and most people in Hong Kong know English at least somewhat.

Nope, sauropods were already right up against the limit of what's physically possible for a land animal on Earth. If they were that chonky they would have been too heavy and would have overheated just from their body heat.

I mean this seems like an easy answer to me no? People in the past wouldn't suspect you're from the future, they'd think you were posessed or something. People in the future would be much more likely to think of time travel, plus they'd have records of old accents and stuff.

They're not contradictory. All other headsets' passthrough is just so bad that even though the Apple headset isn't good it's still way ahead of them.

Motorsports have no defensive player and do not involve much physical movement (unless you count the car's movement).

Giving a cat a bath involves a defensive player (the cat) and significant physical movement (depends on the cat's mood).

Aww that's a shame, the real Neptune looks really dull.

I read the first 15 or so chapters, then stopped because Harry was just a completely insufferable Mary Sue. I see a lot of people praising for the ideas behind it but the actual writing itself is pretty bad.

Yep when I first joined I thought it stood for main Instance.

It really depends on accent. For me, half of these sound very different.

A similar thing I've run into where a feature that usually wouldn't get activated much gets in the way because of games making you input weird patterns is the Windows language swap hotkey, alt-shift. I play a game that uses alt and shift a lot, and involves quite a bit of typing, so I kept getting confused why my language was suddenly different. Took me ages to find out why.

Assuming an average of 4 minutes per song, that is 7 years and 8 months of music. I wonder how much time the ads would add?

Oceangate as well.

That's a good idea, saving this image for later. Thanks!

He's a wizard, the revolver is actually firing shrunken 16 inch HE shells.

Ignore that other person. This was well written and interesting, I read it all the way through.

Oh, is that a new feature? Before it would always open everything in my email app (I'm on Android).

Looks cool.
How much of the post-processing was done in Photoshop vs in Blender?

Suprised no one has mentioned Minecraft yet. That's probably it for me.

Same way as English, by combining preexisting words. For example, ether + net + port = ethernet port. In this case the first two characters (that's what they're called) mean "net" and "road", combining to mean "network".

I think adding new characters is very, very rare. Would be kinda like adding a new letter to the alphabet.

That is some surprisingly good VFX for a meme. I wonder if the background is fully CGI or if they recreated it and cut.

Perfect, if your playlist doesn't give you severe whiplash every few minutes you're not doing it right.

Oh neat. I watched the anime version a while ago, but I didn't read the original. If I ever get back into the series I'll check your community out.

Cool, where did you find all those pixellated icons?

Bruh this is Lemmy you can say suicide and blood.

I need the other languages, instead I disabled the hotkey to swap.

I don't think it's been decided yet. My favourite is still Lemmings.

75% of all species, not all life. Larger species and photosynthesizers were more heavily affected, while smaller species, scavengers, and deep sea life were less affected.

And I'm not a biologist, but I'm pretty sure even 75% of all life, not species, still wouldn't be close to completely ending life on Earth, cause in the end as long as some microbes survived around a hydrothermal vent somewhere total extinction would be avoided.

Always. I kept a dream journal for a while and I definitely would have noticed if one of my dreams was in greyscale.

Going a couple comments up the chain:

Even if humans manage to kill off most life on Earth it will continue to exist, propagate, and become more complex. Again we’re talking about billions of years. There have been huge shifts in climate and mass extinctions many times before and yet here we are.

So I took it to mean all life on Earth being dead. As long as one microbe survives to reproduce and start evolving it doesn't count.

I would say that getting healthier and fitter is absolutely useful, and so is entertainment.

But anyways, some sports can be useful for training purposes (Ever heard of the Firefighter Olympics? It's really cool).

Also there's also stuff like people jogging/biking to go places, and sailing maybe can also fall into this category though I don't think it's a thing anymore. (IIRC in the 1700s there was a sort of sport where ships would race each other across the Atlantic to deliver stuff as fast as possible. Not sure though, take with grain of salt.)

Which suprises me. Someone who was a kid when Minecraft came out would be 25 now. I wonder what the age demographics are like on Lemmy.

You can do that? I don't use Spotify so I didn't know.

Eh I doubt it. Every single nuke ever built combined still doesn't come close to the power of the Chicxulub asteroid (the one that killed the dinosaurs) and even that impact didn't come close to eliminating all life on Earth. Unless someone accidentally compresses a mountain into an artifical black hole or something there probably is no way to wipe out all life on Earth.

I can barely see it if I look forward. If I look down though it takes up the entire side edge of my vision.

But how do you get the bold text?

Woah how did you get your username like that?

Oh damn, nice. I also finished the campaigns (Neter and AotE) this year, though I definitely couldn't do it on Very Hard- I had some trouble even on medium.

Sure why not. I haven't really built anything optimized recently though, so I might have to send an old design. Do you want to do a land, sea, or air battle? (or maybe space?)
