Ffs. Really now, has anybody ever said "omg yay Santa Baby has come on! I welcome this development!"

Jump

  • is she going to fuck the mythical creature, or is she going to fuck her parents (the real "Santa")?

    Neither. She's singing to her boyfriend (not husband - "forgot to mention one little thing a ring") and listing the presents she'd like, plus IMO heavily implying sex as a reward.

    See also.

    • The stars aligned and you are now one of the most sought after people currently living. What is it about you that the world is in desperate need of?

    Jump

  • Dreadful puns, and obscure references to movies, music and TV shows. It's what the world's been waiting for.

    • Like Neo in The Matrix and "I know kung fu", what one ability would you choose to upload directly to your mind?

    Jump

  • Just put this fish in your ear.

    • Announcing a Departure

    Jump

  • There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. It's easy.

    • Google Photos now shows what Albums images & videos are in

    Jump

  • Great. Now remove the restriction on sharing a photo with someone if it's "already in this conversation".

    Yes, I may well have shared it before. Yes, I now want to share it again. Why is that a problem?

    • What are your top android apps?

    Jump

    • Is there any security in the communication with Voyager I?

    Jump

  • it doesn’t use any common protocols or software that anyone outside of NASA would be familiar with.

    Suddenly Lemmy hates Voyager because it's not FOSS...

    • TIL about the Utsuro-bune legend, a young woman aboard the "hollow boat brought inland, but unable to communicate in Japanese

    Jump

  • Certain ufologists have claimed that the story is evidence of a close encounter with extraterrestrial life.

    Of course they have... 🙄

    • Why does the Music Industry allow Spotify/Apple to profit off of them?

    Jump

  • Well hopefully not. I didn't know it had been tried before, that's interesting.

    • You live in a dystopian future where paper and writing utensils are banned, and the world government has outlawed all dissent. How would you secretly communicate with your fellow revolutionaries?

    Jump

  • I'll get Lil to come over. She's my mother's sister's girl.

    • Do spam calls "I wanna buy your house" ever work? Has anyone ever sold their house like that?

    Jump

    • You have the ability to control any person in the world for one minute, what do you do with this ability?

    Jump

  • Can that include the end of the monarchy itself, please? 👍

    • If a contestant on Jeopardy! gave the correct response "Alexandre Dumas" but pronounced the surname as "dumb ass", would the response be accepted?

    Jump

  • If they gave the response "Alexander Dumas" wouldn't it be rejected, regardless of pronunciation, because it wasn't in the form of a question?

    • What are some signs your getting older?

    Jump

  • I agree actually, I was only kidding because of the subject of the post.

    • What are some signs your getting older?

    Jump

  • You start correcting people when they say "your" instead of "you're" :-)

    • How is this astroturfing?

    Jump

  • It's pretty clear. You said "instance mods" but instances don't have mods, they have admins. Communities have mods.

    So did you mean the admins of the instance, or the mods of the community?

    • TIL Netflix ad tier blocks some shows and movies unless you upgrade your plan

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'll put my hand up and admit I haven't read the article :-)

    That said, I think someone else pointed out that just because a show or movie is labelled as a Netflix Original, doesn't necessarily mean they made it. So the kind of licence issue I was speculating about might still apply to a bought-in property.

    • What's your "American healthcare" story?

    Jump

  • Once upon a time there was a man who was very, very, very, very, very glad he never had to deal with the American healthcare system. He lived happily ever after.

    • There's now a phenomenon where everyone's (including you) political beliefs are now visible to everyone within a 1KM radius, how fucked are you?

    Jump

  • I'd be fine, I think. Might find out one or two things about neighbours that they'd rather wasn't known, but I don't think there's anyone who would take great offence at my views, even if they opposed them. And I've nothing I'd want to hide.

    I actually kind of like this scenario, as a way for people to understand that what they think about something may be far from the majority position.

    • TIL Netflix ad tier blocks some shows and movies unless you upgrade your plan

    Jump

  • Devil's Advocate here, but I wonder if that could be a choice made by the creatives or the production company - like, "we hate advertising and don't want it shown during our show, so that's the kind of licence we will agree to".

    I think a lot of people would applaud that sentiment of refusing to have ads in their show.

    Unfortunately the result would be that for noble, purity of the art, reasons they end up accidentally screwing people in your situation.

    No idea if that's plausible, but maybe?
