I’d like to see the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy done well. The cast was pretty good for the movie but the script was a mess. Plus getting to the later books you can get a little weird with it

Honestly the monkey’s paw wouldn’t have to do anything. Back when we had dinosaurs the earth had significantly more oxygen in the atmosphere which helped them be as large as they were. Most dinosaurs would probably slowly suffocate to death today from oxygen deprivation

Of course not, the same people profiting from those prisoners are huge donors to their boss. You don’t bite the hand that feeds

There’s an easy way to avoid this curse (nsfw comic warning)

There’s precedent for tall:

The MicroCrocs stay on while having sex

Well it’s a good thing America has a stellar track record on wars against ideas, e.g. drugs, terror, and Christmas. Let’s declare war on Opposition, there’s no way to lose that one

Look, people showing cleavage are aware it’s going to draw attention. In the same way women know if they put words on their tits you’re going to read them. There’s a difference between noticing something and staring right at it

Step 1: mandate large portions of school work be done on computers

Step 2: sell subscriptions to schools instead of textbooks

Step 3: remove internet access for poor children

Step 4: kick poor kids out of school for bad grades

Step 5: put the kids in jail for truancy

Step 6: free child slaves

If you’re a ghoul it’s a pretty straightforward and easy plan for free slaves

Your mom has been posting a lot more on Instagram recently

Imagine being the woman who drags herself in there, still mostly asleep, orders her coffee, gets it free?, drinks it, goes outside and sees this

That’d be pretty fucking gross

I think the US infrastructure leads to a confirmation bias. There probably aren’t that many people who are actually “bad” drivers out there. The majority of people aren’t getting tickets, damaging their car, or hurting people most of the time when they drive. Our culture being so car centric however means that the actually bad drivers don’t have a choice but to be on the road. Bad driving also calls a lot of attention to itself because it’s dangerous. So when you drive you frequently see bad driving when realistically most people are just fine drivers, leading to you thinking more people are bad, and thus you must be better

That and American exceptionalism probably

I never said useless. Mustard Gas is really useful, State Sponsored propaganda is useful. Usefulness does not equate to goodness as much as capitalist will try to convince you otherwise

“It’s just the corner of the fireworks store that’s on fire, I don’t see what you’re concerned about”

AI power growth is projected to grow exponentially for a service a lot of people view as morally reprehensible and actively harmful

Spencer Weart identified the dangers of global warming in the 50s, we ignored the warnings and now people and entire species are dying. Excuse us for trying to prevent accelerating the problem

At 283 it takes 25 seconds to go 2 miles. So I think it’s pretty safe to assume it took around a minute since it does take time to get to that speed but I assume it gets over 100 in under 10 seconds considering that’s not super difficult for a sports car to achieve

Because if you don’t want to play that “boring racing game” there wasn’t a reason to buy a switch 2. Almost every launch title was an upgrade of a switch 1 title, or was available on something else. Mario Kart World was the unique game until Bananza came out

Hey quick question: how do you know who I voted for?

AI Data centers noticeably fuck with the grid. As a result they are facing internal and external pressure to generate more of their own power. Microsoft is opening a nuclear power plant. I would not be shocked to learn through solar, wind, and coal they provide the majority of their own power

I disagree, that looks like a record player. You can see the plastic cover and what looks like part of the plate on top. There’s also a VCR and I doubt there were many instances of PS3s and VCRs being plugged into the same CRT. I don’t doubt it happened, but this is giving more late 90s/early 2000s than mid/late 2000s

The reason why I assume a certain number of lemmy users can name every element of the periodic table
