Is this going to be the Lemmy version of The Dress?

Brb, gonna take some of that Charizardimap the doc prescribed me against my anxiety. It’s super effective.

Regular multiplication? Sure. But this is Rustydrd multiplication, which assigns different values to products I don’t like.

Here you go. By the commutative property of multiplication:

2 + 2x4 = 2 + 24x

Rearranging this leads to:

x = -1/12

which means that x is the limit of the diverging series:

x = 1 + 2 + 3 + …

James fucking Holden!

Left is nigiri, right is maki. Both are types of sushi.

Yeah, me too. I’m doing the smartphone equivalent of typing with two fingers.

You monster.

I feel like this is probably common sense. The council of people over 20 have decided this months ago, and it should become law any minute now.

I don’t know, but my best guess is widely available child care even for very young children and full-time employment for both men and women being the norm. Much easier to be friends with the other sex if they’re not stuck at home with the kids.

This phenomenon is called a phantom border, and Germany is not the only example (but one that is really striking on lots of maps). Poland is another example, as are the Southern US.

Image quality is so bad, I can’t even tell if this is Euro, Ussie, or Aussie football.

There are two kinds of people: x and x.

IDK, the limiting factor for me is time, not my ability to read. Not every email is as necessary, important, or time-sensitive as the sender thinks it is, and some days I also gotta do other shit that isn’t responding to emails.

Tbf, I’ve been using sudo rm -rf /* for years, and it has made every computer problem I’ve ever had go away. Very effective.

Those first 20 results in 2025:

• 1-4: AI slop
• 5: Reddit thread (no comments)
• 6: Reddit thread (comment including the solution has been deleted)
• 7-9: AI slop
• 10: Microsoft support forum (two pages of generic advice from support workers located in India who get paid a starvation wage)
• 11-12: stack exchange (both with poorly written questions followed by angry comments)
• 13: quora (nonsense mixed with stuff that somehow actually makes things worse???)
• 14: Wikipedia
• 15-17: AI slop
• 18: Reddit thread (only one comment “nvm figured it out”)
• 19: Arch Linux forum (links to Arch Wiki)
• 20: the actual solut… no wait, it’s also AI slop

Totally. I’m an introvert, and when my phone rings, I pick it up with no problem. I also immediately put it down again with no problem. Works really well, except when people decide to let it ring for what feels like eternity.

Having fun/fucking around with something is often a great way to learn about it. Follow your curiosity and see where it leads you.
