Lemmy really helped scratch the Reddit itch. I was lucky enough that my app of choice (boost) was also available for Lemmy, so the transition was pretty seamless (actually, more seamless than it would've been sticking with Reddit, since I left over the API shit, which would've forced me over to their half-baked app).

The only thing I really miss is the sheer volume of users, especially in more niche communities, but the posts on Lemmy imo tend to be more quality over quantity than Reddit, so that helps.

Menu translations are hilarious, but this does sound like an LLM mistook "chicken pops" for an eggcorn of "chicken pox" and described it accordingly, though it may not necessarily be the restaurant that used the LLM. It could also be an auto-generated summary from a search engine, for example.

Elmo would never!

It's like if ObviousPlant did PSAs

Hands down best twist ending

A goddamn classic

Yeah, disliking the format is one thing, but it's used correctly in this case.

Oh nooooo, not their reputation! That's almost as bad as all the, y'know, genocide.

Or the ones where people point out how inconsistent JS is with adding strings to numbers.

Yeah, maybe don't do arithmetic on numbers as strings?

I think they're referring to the software issues that bought down multiple 737 MAXs, though it shouldn't be relevant here because 787s don't have the modified software that caused the crashes.

Damn, that's so fucked up.

In many ways, yes

This is beyond my comprehension.

There are a lot of euphemisms in The Sims so they can keep their T rating, with sex being called woo-hoo probably being the biggest one. The other big one I can think of is that alcohol is referred to as "Juice"

Zeg makker...

I love how the complexity of life is taken as evidence of intelligent design, since that falls apart if you look at it more than a few seconds. My favorite example is the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which loops down your neck and comes back up for no good reason. Better yet, it's the same for giraffes, which means they have a massively long nerve that goes all the way up and down its neck just 'cause. If an electrician wired something like that, their fellow workers would call them anything but intelligent.

Outstanding

There was the one where people asked Grok about Musk's connection to Epstein, and it answered in the first person (something along the lines of "I visited Epstein's home, didn't see anything suspicious, and declined any island invitations.")

cheap desktop microphone (those white/grey/cream sticks, you know the ones I'm sure).

You mean the same microphone every desktop had in the 90's? Boy do I!
