Check out the history of bird migration science. There was everything from birds going to the moon for winter, swallows burrowing in the mud, transmorphing to different species, up to the 19th century

Most men reach a point in their life when their hair loses the fight against gravity. There are two choices: accept reality, grab a trimmer and pick something between 12mm and full-Picard, or try to haggle with nature and experiment with Leisure suit Larry/crazy bus driver/hobo looks. I'd suggest the first, as an extra bonus you'll save a lot of time and money on haircuts, too

Wait, there's noone collecting mushrooms there? It's not random stuff of course, it's species they know. And there's a good chance you won't find those is the shop.

It seems there is an arms race between search engines and content creators. The latter come up with those pages that will tell you the life history of the writer and their dogs, and 20 ads, five popups, subscription offers, allow the site to access your location and send updates questions and 'read more's later you might find out the thing you need. All this to have more ads and rank higher in various searches. 10 minutes ago I wanted to find out what the hell a float needle is. I couldn't. ChatGPT gave me the answer I needed in two questions.

I did some travels in places where bidets are common, here's my take:

  • Egypt - basically a brass pipe targeted at your hole, everyone shitting oh it - no for me
  • Italy - standalone, you have to jump over - impractical, takes too much space
  • Japan/Korea - toilets from space, heated seat warm, water and dryer - comfy, but you need electricity, and if it fails, expensive
  • Finland - a shower attached to the toilet's water intake - just cold water, but it's fine, that's the easiest to install and use

So nothing has changed since the world war. As I gathered you only had a chance if you were over 80 or under 10, and to make things worse you weren't allowed to talk about what happened in the following 50 years if your country was liberated by them because the Soviet soldier doesn't do things like that so you'd get in trouble

Answer from another: nothing. We also have them in various places, like parking, or highway vignettes - you are not using their facilities, you save them money, so they charge you some extra

For one, my chosen server disappeared without any sign in a puff of logic, so I'm back here

Please don't. The only thing that makes the place livable is the option that if things go even worse the door is still open to leave.

So that's the reason of normal posts downvoted to hell and troll comments?

In the future we'll have flying cars and images will be stored long-term as Dall-E prompts, and will be generated on demand. Future archeologists will never know why people posted so many pictures of cats with weird limbs

The same happened with terefere.eu, it still pings but the web access is shut down. That's it for me about the idea of using a small local server to relieve the big ones

Is there any better place for hospital/coffin ads?

If you go for that, take your time and do your research on razors, don't pick the first one, and don't worry on spending 100+€/$ on one, you can hand down that thing to your great grandkids.

I'll be honest - anything a hair trimmer can do (<2cm at best, likely less) will be better than the current state. The only one who is worried about your hair loss is you, just own it and go with it

That, plus not just the TV channels but all the radio channels, printed media and billboards. And guess who has the most money for online propaganda

These people have serious issues. So, cleaning your butt makes you gay? Is toothbrushing OK, though?

Sounds stupid, but not worse than tiny animals in your blood making you sick (germ theory), or basically anything from cosmology from the Big Bang to dark energy

Depending on the operating system this could be Safari on OSX, Firefox, Brave on basically anything, Opera, if it still exists, Konqueror on Linux (fun fact: I think most current browser engines spawned from that), or lynx if you're hardcore

That's what I did. Then lemmy.world got slow, I found a small nearby server with great local content, moved there (took days to subscribe the groups again). Then the server went offline, now back to lemmy.world, and I have no idea if the server will be ever back again.

I think XCom already has a meaning, and it's definitely not Twitter.

I was staring at your comment for quite a long time to understand what the Austrian money has to do with recommendations, but at least I learned a new word, thanks!

I wouldn't get wasted, if you're in your 30s that can give your worst headache ever. If the wifi is good enough, maybe start a series? Possibly something with short episodes, a well-selected anime will easily kill something like 10 hours. And if possible, try to get as much sleep as possible

One thing I learned is that you shouldn't believe anything any side says, especially before the thing happens

I'd really love if I could download the weight files and do the chat locally on my computer

There's this: https://the-federation.info/ but don't know how up-to-date the data are

probably something with beans?

I do that too, but I also tend to check where the front of that car is...

So they just got worse

Isn't it an independent fork?

Indeed!

If something, that's the logo of the X window system

Thank you for your service to the community!

Which part of it is supposed to be complicated? I've seen this argument many times, and while I'm still trying to figure out the user interface(s), the whole idea is pretty basic

Am I the only one who purged reddit accounts when it became too personal?
