I have commited the Num-Code for ™ to muscle memory.

Other interests include bicycles, bread making and DIY. I do own a 3D-printer and adore the Nintendo 3ds.

  • I very deliberately explained everything in too much detail that is common knowledge, except the very thing people would need an ELI5 for as a funny bit, and you still accuse me of using AI?

    You should turn the screen off for today, prevents you from jumping at the shadow it casts behind you.

  • Introducing: co-op dating.

    You put 50 people in a pile and everybody votes who should date whom. You win if anyone leaves happy.

  • Marlboro is a major producer of cigarettes. Cigarettes, and tobacco products as a whole, are expensive, smelly and are proven to increase cancer risks due to the inhalation of carcinogens as the cigarette is lit and then inhaled. The burning of cigarettes also creates tar that is then inhaled, so there is literally black sludge that slowly accumulates in ones lungs as one inhale the smoke.

    Reading all that, you might wonder how one could "love" it. Thing is, Tobacco products are incredibly addictive, once you start smoking cigarettes it is incredibly hard to stop. People start by only doing it with friends once a month or so, many people say it has a relaxing effect, especially when taken in a social circle, but then their brain craves it twice a month, and suddenly they want to do it every day or more often. It's as we grown ups say, "a hooker who takes all your money but wont love you back".

    Cigarettes also make hrt less effective.

    This is then revealed to be a breaking point for the portrayed smoker, evidently a hormone replacement therapy user. See, hrt is helping a lot of people growing into a body they feel comfortable in. It's like puberty, but a more controlled process some people really want to do to feel comfortable in their body. This meme is showing that this desire is so great they even give up something that is incredibly hard to quit, because this step in their life is so important to them. The same way some people love to stay fit to feel good about their bodies, hrt users expend real effort to get to a body they don't hate when necessary.

  • Finally, a EU law designed to fight against Germany's fossil fuel addiction. Because I guarantee we will buy no new cars before we embrace cashless transactions.

  • It's easy, we create a problem with AI, and the best solution is to use even more AI, and when everyone is dependant on it to manage digital infrastructure that used to function for decades, then we raise the price.

  • Tunic is great, it really is a love letter to the instruction manual and note taking. The combat was so satisfying to improve at as well.

    Secret Treasure 4: Vintage. I get that they wanted to reward people who figured out the language, but you cannot then make it an English Cipher AND localise everything except it AND hide 1 of the 12 secret treasures behind it.

    They localised it, so a portion of their targeted playerbase will not speak English. They are now locked out of exactly 1 of these trophies, that is frustrating as fuck. And because I happened to notice that the booklet language does not change when I changed the game language, I thought I would have to learn toki pona or something, and gave up on a puzzle I would have probably enjoyed otherwise, because I thought despite me specifically speaking English, the developers would not be so cruel as to hide exactly 1 out of 12 trophies behind a specific language.

    Yes, I am still mad.

    Hiding like easter eggs or minor rewards behind it is fine, and although making ones own language would exclude more people from ever finding it on their own, it is at least fair.

  • “We take these failures seriously and will hold those to account who fail to keep their workers and other people safe.”

    ... I know a great article that proves otherwise.

    • Prisoners dilemma doesn't work when people are thinking of tomorrow. Once you take into consideration how your actions affect the decisions other people make in the future, it is always better to cooperate. That's a big assumption from people, but if they don't, they are not acting rationally in their own interest like in the dilemma.
    • I'm pretty sure this comment is not complaining about people driving through the gap, it's about people who are too absent minded to create a gap in the first place. In that case that's not prisoners dilemma at all, they don't get anything from not moving to the side.
  • I would go and tell on you for using aborteddreams image, but they probably already live off the grid in a cabin in the woods.

  • You do realise the thing under the video is a "source link", and takes you to a website where there is more information on the crash?

    So no need to speculate, the drivers of both vehicles went to the hospital for apparently minor injuries, as did 2 children from either vehicle.

  • In the US perhaps, over here we are proud to dismiss anyone with anxiety regardless of gender, women in particular get instead dismissed with period cramps or potential pregnancies! /s

  • Admiral comes from Arabic "amīral". "Amir" means king, prince, chief, leader, and "al" is the definite article, in English "the" (compare algebra or alchemy).

    So admiral means "leader of the", the Arabic for "leader of the sea", Amīr al-Baḥr, was too long to survive the whole game of telephone.

  • Sucks to be a marsupial in a placental mammal world.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    If kangaroos were carnivorous, they would be incredibly good persistence hunters.

  • I guess it's a European privilege that we even get a "nice" version of colonization. Now to be fair, you can read

    "For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:"For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: "

    in the US declaration of independence and draw some comparisons (Anne Sacoolas/Christopher Van Goethem), but come on, get a new name for this.

  • If the "it" is a network, not just a single path.

    If you just connect 1 parking lot to the next and leave it at that, no one is going to use it even if you did your best to make it non-hostile to whatever mode of transport.

  • I got myself a broken, 12 year old, 2nd hand e-bike for 100€. The battery still lasted a year, then I replaced it for 150€. It has since become my main mode of transport.

    At this point it's not even counterculture, but good economic thinking. I need to help repair broken bikes for my family to not feel like a dirty Capitalist for how much money this thing saves me nowadays.

    So bikes may not be the cheapest hobby, but if you get so into it that you do your own repairs, its worth every hour in terms of money and fullfilment.

  • But your facts based on data were for other questions, questions I didn't ask, you do realise that? If I had asked how many fatbikes were illegally fast, you'd have nailed it, but it didn't answer anything on if they were tuned or not.

    I know it is only an estimate, but why are you being so hostile about that? I had a specific question, you found some sources that showed related facts, but nothing on your original claim. I appreciate that effort. I now find a rough estimate, do you have a reason to doubt it? Why?

    I believe at this point, you are just being angry at me for the sake of it. Take a breather, I assure you everything I wrote was genuine, I am just particular about this 1 question. If you don't see the point, that's fine.

    I am not entirely satisfied with an estimate either, but it is something to go off.

  • Oh, but I did find a (German) source for my question right now: "According to estimates by police and experts, five to ten percent of e-bikes in Germany are tuned."

    I am cautious of trusting a police union on this without any source, but it is at least something.

    So now you can specify: "Less than 10% of e-bike riders remove or know a guy to remove the limiter", since of course this was an estimate on tuning in general.

  • If you don’t want to believe something that’s fine but that doesn’t change the fact that it is true.

    But you never showed anything that said it is true, you are the one believing without checking for the facts. I am the one saying: I don't know if people actually go out of their way to tune their e-bikes. If you are sick of searching for sources, all you need to say is "I don't know, I just feel like a lot of people get their limiter removed, I don't have any sources on that."

    How about you find me some numbers about

    You cannot ask me to prove a negative, everyone knows that.

    In the context of mandating a limiter being built in by law, it is important to distinguish between people who get the limiter removed, and people who buy bikes which never had a limiter, because group 1 spends effort or money to make their bike illegal, and the group 2 doesn't spend to make their bike legal.

    I agree, in the context of "people drive illegally fast", this does not matter.
