I spent 30+ years thinking that a pony was a baby horse rather than a smaller type of horse. You know how cats have kittens and dogs have puppies? Well I thought horses had ponies.
Even all the times that Lisa Simpson wanted a pony, I just thought it was similar to how a kid might want a puppy.
I would like to be able to take compiled machine code and generate human-readable source code.
Imagine being able to fully understand and even modify all closed-source, commercial software.
Yup! Just last week it was revealed that they would be doing their adaptive suspension that way: https://www.motortrend.com/news/bmw-adaptive-suspension-connected-drive-subscription/
A large coke from McDonald's has 290 calories of sugar.
Maybe this will unintentionally help a bit with America's obesity problem.
Yes. With WiFi cameras you don't need to run any cable, just plug in to the nearest power outlet. That's very appealing to people.
You time traveled to the Middle Ages to avoid cars? That's dedication!
I did the same thing! It was pretty astonishing how many times I tried to go back there.
for a picture of a pet it is less important
What? That would likely give away the location of your home.
same price no matter where they are
This is not at all true. Here is a map showing Big Mac prices across the US:
You can just use Sky Map and search for Sagittarius.
What you actually want to search for is Sagittarius A*, but Sky Map doesn't have that, so the Sagittarius constellation is close enough to give you the general direction.
Why mess with cash and money laundering? Just create a large chunk of gold.
When I first joined lemmy, there were bean posts everywhere. People kept posting shitty puns about beans with pictures of beans, and people kept upvoting them. But it eventually died down.
Could these kinds of posts just be a fad on reddit right now?
For those who don't know, this is Philomena Cunk, a mockumentary reporter.
The CNN article has some seismograms:

You mean like Brock Turner, the rapist?
It could be a joke that's been around forever, but I know it from The Simpsons: https://youtu.be/4GzMizVAl-0
My understanding is that the problem with the gas mask is not oxygen, but rather it's so small that CO2 builds up, so the prisoner feels that they are suffocating.
Reminds me of that one Simpsons episode.
That's a cool quiz, and it's from 2022. I'm sure AI has improved since then. Would love to see an updated version.
Years ago, I used an extension called Tree Style Tab. It's better than just vertically displaying tabs. New tabs open as children, and you can collapse branches, so things stay organized when you have a ton of tabs.
TX has none
Huh?
I visited Dallas for the total solar eclipse. I got everywhere I needed using their DART train system.
I can't believe someone downvoted you for asking about the acronym.
I get frustrated when the title, body, and comments all use an acronym, but I can't figure it out from context. Even more frustrating is when the linked article also doesn't explain it.
You mean like electrolysis? That's already in use, and has been in use for a very long time.
If you meant something new that doesn't require a bunch of energy input, then yeah, that would great.
Also: "Thou shalt not take... moochers into thy... hut."
Can you give an example of one? Last time I looked it seemed like all the major brands only had smart TV options. So I end up using streaming dongles on smart TVs to avoid the lag, but I would much rather just have dumb TVs.
I heard projectors don't have any smart garbage. I might try that next time I need a new large TV.
I did this, and it was great at first. Then I needed more socks, so I bought another batch. Then I had a mix of worn socks and brand new socks. They might look the same at first, but if you take a closer look, the older ones are a little lighter in color and the texture isn't the same. I later bought a third batch. So now I have a mix of new, old, and really old socks. It actually takes more effort to match socks now than when I had many different socks.
I see this advice posted all the time, so I guess most people don't care if their socks on each foot are a different level of worn, but it bothers me.
I read that in Alex Trebek's voice.
It's still an option for me on the desktop, not mobile site.
Lol, that reminds me of Seinfeld's taking vs. holding reservations joke:
I was in a pilot state (Arizona), and I looked into it. It's only for federal taxes. You need to file state taxes separately.
There are already several online tax solutions that offer free federal and charge for state.
you could order something online and have it pop up right next to you minutes later
There are a few companies that want to accomplish that, but instead of using pressurized gas they want to use a miniature subway system.
For example: https://www.pipedreamlabs.co/
Speaking of palindromes, fun fact: "()()" is NOT a palindrome, but "())(" is.
The first one is like ABAB, the second is like ABBA.
I got a decent motion-activated trail cam for around $50. It has no connectivity, so I need to occasionally transfer videos from the SD card. Works great.
That's a neat website, but is there any way to rotate the countries?
Why is increasing salinity of the ocean bad? Doesn't that happen all the time on a much greater scale as ocean water evaporates into the atmosphere?
If you are logged into reddit, you can just set the account preference to opt out of the redesign. No extension needed.
Reminds me of a sculpture called "Karma":

I'm pretty sure the serving PC needs to be Windows Professional, not Windows Home, so that might not work.
Wow, you are right. The Wayback Machine shows that OP's link is from 2021:
