I'm with you. Thinking of sour is more likely to get my mouth working.

That's not what they said. You ignored the beginning of the sentence.

How adorably naive.

For the US: The Supreme Court has ruled that flashing your lights to alert other drivers of an upcoming speed trap is protected by your First Amendment rights.

Flipping off a cop is also protected, but that's less helpful to others.

Aside from maybe my local paper which reports on things NOBODY else cares about, there is not one source that I would want to invest in like that.

Paywalls nudge people towards choosing one or two sources for all of their information. The more sources they pay for, the less value each one provides.

Diversity of information is better for society.

Dammit Jim! I'm a doctor not a comedian!

Looks to be a combination of the cleanest (rounded) number for that currency, and how much are the people there willing to pay.

I feel like I'm too old for this answer for two reasons, but:

I get 6-7!!! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let me know if you ever find out how to make it stop.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

No. At the very most someone might say it, but that's about the end of it. Unless someone is jealous, I can't see why anyone would hold it against either of them.

"I am very smart" vibes. This guy read a book and needs to let everybody know it. There's a good chance he actually is intelligent, but obviously has a LOT to learn.

Yup. He got my iTunes code and I got his Amazon code. All worked fine.

 

I've had suspicious about the little one for a while now.

 

Just now, I'm standing on my porch, and I see a bird fly down to the sidewalk. She then walks across the street as fast as her little legs can take her. Once she reaches the other side, she flys off.

I laughed and thought "That's some shit I would do and have no idea why."

Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?

Avocado. I heard much about these fruits/berries/whatever. But I am a poor guy from a very poor and totally non-tropical country. So apples and carrots are the sweetest things around and apples become too expensive too.

Still I bought a few. Just out of curiosity. It tastes like... butter block. Internet says that it should be this way. So... Why people eat it? Maybe it is bad alone and\or raw, but after some preparation it is delicious?

Am I missing something?

 

She was the Sands Seraph.

 

As a kid, Diet Coke was all my mom ever bought, so I spent years getting used to it.

I dont drink much soda anymore, but it seems the last few times I've had a can of Diet Coke, it's just not good. It seems more bland than ever before. I don't seem to dislike any other sodas more than I used to.

Anyone else notice this?

 
 

The Internet says it's an oil beetle. I've never seen one of those before.

 

This is something I thought up earlier today.

I'm not sure if the phrasing is too ambiguous or not. I've been doing cryptic crosswords lately, which include very misleading clues (hint hint).

Give me your answers and any suggestions on phrasing that might make this better, without making it too easy!

 

Great news everyone! I've just been offered a position to remotely train an AI and I can make up to $6000 a day!

Yeah, right.

I'm in the middle of a conversation with someone who randomly instant messaged me. I like to play dumb with these people and then occasionally throw some obscure questions at them and watch them squirm, or just toss subtle insults in my replies.

Anyone else get a kick out of messing with these scammers? Any particular shenanigans you like to throw at them, out any good stories that have come from it?

 

22 years ago (has it really been THAT long?), we got rid of this law.

I think everybody should wear a helmet every time. Not wearing a helmet is extremely stupid and dangerous. I've known lots of people who have riden without a helmet and have been fine, but I also had a cousin that died that way.

That being said, this feels like a "protect me from myself" or "we'll decide for you, since you can't be trusted to make good choices." law. I think I'd rather it stay the way it is, let people make their own poor choices.

I'm curious what others think.
