  • 40% I'd estimate, I tend to write very long and in depth comments and will realize either I dont care enough about the subject to finish my statement or argument point, or I'm likely being baited by someone who doesnt care about having a genuine exchange of ideas and just wants to be "right".

  • None, they are all metal boxes that get me from point a to b. I accepted a long time ago im just not a car guy, i dont even reserve the neurons to differentiate make/model/year at a glance. Forming emotional attachments over hunks of metal/ machinery that all operate generally the same way is a very monkey-brain thing to do. He smugly says as he nervously eyes his book collection he would actually tear up over if they were damaged in any way.

  • Nickelodeon gave Fred their own TV show+movie and YouTube bankrolled some popular creators to make a few YouTube red originals, that's about as far as I can think of

  • What's the story behind that last sentence with the feds if you dont mind sharing

  • Depends, when cooking an egg in the microwave you damn well better not overcook it lest you end up with eploding scrambled eggs all over the microwave. When it comes to potatoes you have to let them heat up and cook so its unavoidable to wait for the cool down

  • The cat version of sitting down on the toilet only to find out the hard way that the seat is up

  • This is a great point, I did not think about that. Thanks

  • The problem with NVG and all the battery operated stuff is that once it runs out its useless unless you have a means to replace them through looting replacable batteries or recharging lithiums with an offgrid power system and the electrical knowledge to make sure you dont cook them in case of a jerry rigged system. It might be really useful for a good couple hours of operation but after that it becomes dead weight you spend calories or fuel hauling around with the faint hope of maybe being able to recharge it again sometime in the future

  • Not sure what or who you are referencing with that, I wish though lol

  • They came from one of the prototype layers of hell

  • Probably a piece, those false teeth probably cost a buck or two a piece and then factoring in the time and effort to either chisel out or melt a cavity into the rock for the teeth to go into

  • Real image of DharmaCurious collecting resources for their lovely artisian homestead

  • Whoever came up with don't dump December is trying to get people to win the darwin award: impaction edition. Sounds like a psyops cooked up over at 4chan

  • Water purifier - clean water is essential

    Fire Axe - for fire wood collection as well as wood based structures for shelter and defense. Also it is a decent weapon that takes relatively little skill to effectively wield.

    German Shepard - loyal and lethal companionship, living thinking alarm bell, will instinctively assist in protection/attacking, could be trained to track game. Will gladly accept food scraps, the bones and flesh of my enemies, and pets as payment for services rendered.

    Body armor - reduces risk of infection through scratches to body as well as mild protection against various weapons. Also an added insulative thermal layer for the cold. Body plate can be replaced with old thinkpads as needed

  • Ad blockers do still work on YouTube if you switch to Firefox. Aternatiely you ca n try out some 3rd party YouTube front end websites like invidious and piped. Just try out a few different instances each are a little different and some may work better than others.

    I personally like vid.puffyan.us for invidious and piped.video for piped.

  • POV: you've just done DMT and stared at a clock

  • Support as in the 'stroke the ego' sense not 'help financially put food on the table and heat their home' sense

    I would really like to see lemmy add a 'direct donation' button to post and comments that links to their paypal or whatever. I think throwing a dollar or two directly at the person who made the comment or post you really liked is an infinitely better way to support them than throwing that money at a company so that they can award a shiny digital icon above the post.

  • I've had good success with FairEmail its open source and on Fdroid appstore but google made it so it will only work if you download through the play store which is BS.

  • Reality is equal part abstraction and physicality, energy and information are two sides to a coin we are currently unable to percieve in full. Also, there are some aspects to reality that will never be able to be understood through the lens of science or math, due to their need for falsifyable truths within a working model. Some truths cannot be proven, and some non-physical aspects of reality cannot be directly observed through lenses or interacted with sensors or broken down into particles. The moment we start examining conciousness and psychadelics seriously as a new avenue of understanding reality our collective understanding of the universe in its totality will skyrocket.
