Through what mechanism am I being teleported?

Can I be teleported to the origin of it?

C’mon man, you know how big retro stuff is

There are people unironically out there listening to tapes on warbly old walkmans just for the aesthetic of a nostalgia they’ll never have

I can also completely believe that scenario.

Imagine if you got to the point where someone was making jokes like this about you and everyone was laughing with them

Elon is genuinely such a cringey loser it’s kind of remarkable

“my father is a cringelord”

A large number of Americans generally seem to grow up with a main character complex thanks to all the individualist & jingoist propaganda people get bombarded with over there.

The search for something “exotic” as you put it is just an ego-driven search for the piece of evidence that they are, in fact, more special and unique than everyone else.

No no, terrorists would also do things like bomb hospitals or run over civilians with a bulldozer

Not strictly always true, if the lights have any kind of dimming capability (like many of the ones with automated patterns) you’ll likely be dealing with PWM which means the time spent lit can vary significantly

AI “tools” like this are an absolute piece of piss to create, and they are also the kind of thing that bro investors love to throw money at currently

Chipotle Cholula is what these are missing

I’m in the UK where we’ve got the NHS and cheap medicine, so that might be why I’m hard on the “just give me the medicine” side of things.

I can’t think of any situation when I’d pick an alternative herbal medicine over the medical solution from a chemist if I actually had a problem I wanted to resolve.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like they’ve really stuck with it

I think technically if you can get it from a butcher minced that day, you should be good to freeze it on the same day

Not so much supermarket mince

And there goes another one

Do we literally have to wait for it to escalate to world war before people remember that actually right-wing politics makes things worse for the vast majority of people that vote for it?

I’ve always thought it was stupid, but maybe the accelerationists were right…

Do you guys still do the hilarious chip & sign thing or have you finally switched to using a PIN?

Not what you’re asking for, but unless you know your decanter is made from lead free crystal (most aren’t), don’t store booze in it for any amount of time. You should be safe to use it to serve a spirit in, but lead leaches into the spirit much quicker than you’d realise

All grass users should touch Lemmy just to see what happens

TBF those streaming sites are usually the lowest common denominator, run by people who are just trying to make as much ad money as they can before they get caught or shut down.

When one shuts down, another inevitably pops up—it’s been this way for a couple of decades. No site ever lasts longer than a couple of years tops, it’s just a way too obvious way of doing things to not get caught eventually

Generally it’s best to go with a download based approach anyway (or one of the streaming approaches that doesn’t involve a web browser), given the quantity of shitty ads and tracking those sites have on them.

Who’d have thought a headline could contain all those words

Different people in different places.

If you never leave your hometown, you’re keeping your brain in a baby crèche for the rest of your life.

It’s much easier to understand how the world works if you’ve seen it yourself

Americans talking about socialism is like teenagers talking about sex

Zero clue
