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

  • HOW DO YOU YELL WITHOUT CAPSLOCK?

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

  • Or that castle sieges were much more boring than made to seem and would last months

    Huh, what media are you talking about? Might just be the generes I enjoy but I've never seen anything suggest that castle sieges didn't last ages. Wouldn't that kinda go against the point of a siege?

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

  • 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.

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

  • Jragon

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

  • I need multiple layouts because I'm bilingual.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • Huh interesting. Here in Hong Kong there's a snack that is exactly that. It's basically the exact same thing as ramen, but it's meant to be eaten directly out of the bag and the seasoning is already mixed in.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.
