Adding my voice to the 2 crowd.

Nothing about that sounds particularly unsafe if you’re reasonably healthy, except maybe the restroom part if you really have to go and hold it in. I wonder if the unsafe nature from the sexual meaning of the phrase leaked over somewhat.

I want to say I’d strategically accrue wealth and use it to make the world a better place, but realistically I’d probably just end up running around turning random stuff into gold and totally crashing the gold market.

Why would I want to hide it? I’m turning myself in and letting them do their best to figure out what happened to me, on the condition that I’m paid fairly for my time (just as with any other human trial). If they can figure out how to replicate it, it would be incredibly useful.

I think any scientists or government organizations would be much happier experimenting on a consenting and cooperative subject than a kidnapped and imprisoned one.

That’s a good point, though there’s a significant financial barrier to building renewable infrastructure that doesn’t go away just because land is available.

I agree with the first one, the second one is factually incorrect (agriculture is only 10% of human CO2 emissions even in the meat-hungry US), and I have no clue what Mass Effect is so I can’t comment on the last one.

I’m so glad I deleted my Instagram account.

I kiss it while I’m eating it, does that count?

All your amazing astrophotography and yet that’s the one you choose as your best? :p

I’m on an Mbin instance, which federates with Lemmy but I guess doesn’t get recognized as a proper Lemmy link. These two links to the actual community instances should work: first post second post

Best by the numbers, this post on programmer_humor.

Best in my opinion has gotta be Logsday. I literally went outside and lit an edited calendar on fire for that one. :D

I like the comments here a lot more. Reddit’s comment ranking algorithm mostly prioritized highly upvoted comments, so the top comments on every thread would be the earliest ones, and anything much later would be lost in the sea. Here new comments get ranked higher than older ones even if they have fewer upvotes, which gives them a lot more visibility.

If you’re not talking nicely to the plants, you’re not a vegan in spirit.

Sometimes knocking an idea down is justified, especially in the case of astrology.

Should be pretty easy to put a lightweight Linux distro on it and use it as a TV + media player. According to Microsoft it only has a 4th gen i7 and 8 gigs of RAM, so there’s not much point using it as an actual computer these days anyways.

I think I’m too young for Facebook, and I deleted my Instagram account about a month ago. I was primarily using it to socialize with friends, but decided that wasn’t worth the privacy cost.

It’s a good plot for a book, but as for actually happening in the real world haha no way.

That comes out to a speed of 7.5km/h or 4.7mph, barely above a brisk walk. Good to know if I ever need to outrun humanoid robots it won’t be hard. (The self-driving cars are another matter).

Robots are a lot more energy efficient than humans. Human muscles are around 25% efficient while robotic motors can be >90%. However they lose massively in energy density. 100 grams of carbs has 1.7 MJ of energy, which is equivalent to 2-3kg of lithium batteries. A human can run for hours on a kg of calorie dense foods, while a robot would need a bulky battery or constant battery swaps/recharges.

I think it’s a pretty good response. It communicates that you have a crush on them, while giving them a simple way to tell you whether it’s reciprocated, and implying that you care what they think.

Of course you could just be direct, but that can be hard, and this way is pretty funny too.
