  • I use glycerin myself, but I'll have to try vegetable oil next time.

    The other thing that greatly helps speed things along is letting the oil / glycerin sit for 5-10min, then following up with an ear syringe full of warm water. Instead of spraying directly ahead, they're designed to safely spray to the sides, and the agitating motion of the water works well to clear the clog very quickly.

  • Haha, I get your point in a vacuum, but literally every animal since Gallagher took over from his uncle is capable of doing graffiti, commenting on others, doing pretty much everything a human can do, and especially-- making sarcastic comments.

    That slug is an interesting "slug" in the sense that the cat regularly wears "MEAT" helmets, with the creator gets a full paycheck either way.

  • avocado based cream sauce

    Oh wow, so that's a thing, eh?
    Gonna try it with Greek yogurt, thanks!

  • D'oh. I'm subscribed here, see three comments tallied, but can't actually see the comments.

    Anyway, I wanted to ask what the two green sauces / paste are. One seems too dark for guac, and one too light.

  • Saw that coming, as Heathcliff is usually right next to Iggy in these situations.

    Aside from that, it still bothers me that Gallagher's so low-effort with stuff like this. It would have been pretty funny if the slug created something interesting, but instead it's more like "yeah, right, that lame-ass lettering is worth a fortune, yup."

  • Because the title leaves out the fact that Kirk's native character was actually inspired by Horatio Hornblower, not Cook. Also, Hornblower was such a complex character that his attributes got split up in to both Kirk and Spock, evidently.

    It's a pretty interesting read!

  • I'm a huge iced tea drinker, and recently tried Earl Grey out of little more than pure boredom. It's good! Whereas hot, the flavor is a little too much for me, when iced and diluted further, it has a really enjoyable floral bouquet, not unlike Constant Comment.

  • Difficult to tell when he’s playing an android

    I thought that was a big part of how Spiner made Data just about the most interesting character in the series-- the understated little flourishes, tics, and burblings of emotion showing through.

    To me a very clever variation on Nimoy's amazing work on Spock in the series before, but of course Brent made the character wholly his own to the point that it barely registered that he was cut from the 'Spock template.'

  • excellent, thank you. i didn't realise people were using such detailed prompts, or that it was possible for the ai to understand such properly.

    consider yourself lucky

  • I agree, but like I say, it gets even more ridiculous sometimes. Or at least it has in the past. Check this out:

    Grandma's lower body is clearly inside the house, but there she is standing straight upright (i.e. not bending forward), and somehow her upper* body is in front of the window frame, with the window being half-open.

    Physically, it really only works if she's made out of thin cardboard.

  • I really like the trending communities; great way to find new communities...

    Hmm, I don't really get that. Most of the time "trending communities" seem to be newly-created communities with little if any content. Considering how common it is for people to grab a community name and sit on it indefinitely, I feel like the 'trending detection' formula could be tweaked to display newer communities with solid growth, instead.

    ...or remind you to look for something you hadn’t thought about.

    I salute the spirit of that, but the number of healthy communities across the FV seems pretty limited so far. Sure, it's not that hard to find ghost communities with search tools (I tend to use this one), but that's kind of a bittersweet feeling.

  • I always thought that kind of quirk was amusing, especially when Grandpa Nutmeg & wife are at the window, in which case there's really no other way to explain the visual other than to conclude that the characters are simply cardboard cutouts.

  • Oof, pardon this tragically late reply.

    So... TBH I don't quite understand what you're saying.

    From my POV, I'm envisioning a way where Mastodon content could populate the ALL feed of Fediverse users, for example us lemmings. Do you reckon that's possible?

    Note: I already know how to search mastodon content btw, via tools like this

  • This particular image has not been hosted on lemm.ee before, as I’m the one who uploaded it to pixelfed.social

    I'm guessing that means you're also the image creator, otherwise you wouldn't be sure nobody had uploaded it here before, right?

    In any case, my first thought would be to try to do a test, replicating the event to see if the same thing happens again. Unfortunately, it looks like pixelfed.social is closed to new accts, so I suppose it would need to be someone already with an acct there. Feel like giving that a whack?

    If so, there's a junk community here that would make for a good testing ground. I just whipped up a test image with the same dimensions as yours, and right about the same size here.

    if it's not convenient for you to do a test at this time, maybe you could clue me in as to how to make a pixelfed.social acct?

  • Thanks, interesting. I'm not sure what's happening, but it also seems to be hosted right here, scaled down 50k: https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/5fdd577a-609b-409c-8811-ff59a0443f1b.webp

    Unless that's a disguised redirect link, I'm wondering if the server somehow mistakenly hosted it here. Or possibly the image was already hosted on Lemm.ee, and the server software decided to list the match link rather than the new one you provided.

    If it sounds like I'm trying to make something out of nothing, I'm just concerned that there might be an image loophole attackers might use, as with what happened to Lemmy.World some weeks back.

  • Funny stuff, and whoa... the image is hosted at Lemm.ee??

    That got disabled over a month ago AFAIK, and is still listed as such on the sidebar.
