Oh yeah, I'm sure these political memes are making some very deep points and are gonna change the minds of alllll those staunch MAGAs who are obviously all over Lemmy.

All three are generally true.

In all likelihood they would be neither. With modern technology, we don't need a large percent of the population farming. I realize communists typically eliminate the intellectuals and kulaks—those who would actually have useful knowledge—first, but the smart things would be to have the current farmers keep farming. You'd likely be assigned to a factory to manufacture widgets for the rest of your days.

The Oversight Committee inquiry was bipartisan and only the Democrat mentioned aliens at all in his opening statement. Christie refused to even deign to speak about UFOs at the GOP debate. The Mexican congress is controlled by Morena. I don't think this is being driven by the right at all.

Radio waves are on the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum from cancer-causing light. It's very well settled that radio waves cannot cause cancer.

Has there been any cause of RF leading to burns or fever? The idea that a cell phone could transfer enough energy to make even the slightest difference seems insane to me. I can't imagine it's physically possible for the health risk to be any worse than raising your thermostat by 1° would be.

This seems like nothing more than pandering to psuedoscientific quakery.

I did: ($15 × 13 × 18) ÷ (69000000 ÷ 40000) = $2.03

95% of McDonald's are franchised. Virtually all of the people you will ever see at a McDonald's really work for "John Doe's Eastern McDonald's Franchises #2 LLC" and are therefore not counted.

More than 1.7 million people work at McDonald's.

McDonald's has ~69,000,000 customers per day.

There are ~40,000 McDonald's locations.

Assuming a McDonald's averages about 13 employees working at any time and it's open for 18 hours a day…

They would have to raise meal prices about $2 on average to double wages, ignoring any drop in sales that might cause. (Generally, if a restaurant thought it could make more money by just raising prices, it would have done so a long time ago.)

Doesn't npm have this already? I've definitely gotten requests for donations and various political messages when installing dependencies.

Isn't that a war crime?

Not in most states.

Anything the government produces should be in the public domain.

 js

    
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

ReactDOM.render(
    <div>
        <h1>My Site</h1>
        <p>Welcome to my cool site. 😎</p>
    </div>,
    document.getElementById('root')
);

  

Me too. I'll take my salary now, please.

Edit: Lemmy stripped out my rickroll. :(

There is a real concern that getting too many boosters too frequently may be able to cause immune system "fatigue", essentially causing it to do the opposite and train your immune system to ignore COVID-19 because it starts to think it's just always supposed to be there. A vaccine once a year shouldn't be able to cause it, but we're getting into new waters with fighting COVID.

I would buy a Zenfone in a heartbeat if they had more than 2 years of support. Apple's doing 6 years. Microsoft is doing effectively infinite. I don't get why every Android manufacturer other than Samsung and Google seem so bent on producing mountains of e-waste.

Undercutting competitors is how you foster a pro-consumer market. That's one of the core tenets of capitalism. On its own, that's a good thing. The problem is when companies think customers are so attached to them that they don't worry about being undercut themselves.

There's no finite land on the Internet. You're just as free to set up your own server today as you were 30 years ago.
