Right now I'm not sure this is my favorite because it's late and I am not thinking clearly, but I've watched Data in command countless times, so it's certainly one of my favorites
This is stunning!
It's also an incredibly curious phenomenon that if you turn your camera just a few degrees you get an entirely different picture of Saitama 😁
Hahahahaha! You're damn right!!!
I can only give you an upvote!
Well, it's not a trilogy yet, is it? Anything might happen and the third movie could potentially be cancelled (it won't happen, but it wouldn't be the first time some important project didn't make it).
You should call it so only when the third one has been released!
It's really not nitpicking because it feels like journalists are becoming invisible
This is starting to bother me. In a matter of minutes, I found this other post on Lemmy which is about another Variety article which must also be AI slop or really poor writing since it says that "Spiderman across the spider verse" is an Oscar winning trilogy!
The third one is still in production, but yeah, it's already won an Oscar...
Probably Nolan's explanation that he could make it is in her words because she told Bane she wanted him to survive a bit longer.
I don't even want to imagine the kind of pain you get from being stabbed, but I know I sliced my index finger this year while cutting bread and it was an immense pain (for a short time)
You're right and I know it's fiction and not realistic, but since we're shown he's suffering while she stabs him, it still bugged me because I imagined him bleeding all the way
That's a unique point of view, thanks!
You also just unlocked a memory of mine: a close friend's mom once got stabbed close to the heart by a mugger. She went back home and drove herself to the hospital and the nurse was shocked since she couldn't understand how my friend's mom made it in her condition.
I guess sheer determination can do miracles!
Well, it is a meme kind of thing in the How It Should Have Ended YouTube channel and often given as an explanation that he can do anything he wants (putting him on par with Superman). Here's a post about this
How did Batman survive being stabbed in the Dark Knight Rises movie?
Apologies if this is not an Ask Lemmy worthy question, but I couldn't guess an appropriate community to post it to and welcome suggestions to where to move such a question to.
Question is as in the title: how could Batman survive what really seems like a deadly stab by Miranda Tate (=Talia Al Ghul) at the end of the movie and still have the strength to go chase the bomb, the lucidity to set up the autopilot and the coordination to jump off of the bat(wing) to safety?
Wouldn't he have bled to death (and very quickly too, even if she was trained to miss internal organs)?
We're shown that she twists the blade too and he feels the pajn (so the armor didn't really protect him).
Of course, the standard joke answer is that he's the Batman (so he can take it when others can't).
The movie is fiction and not intended to be realistic, so there really is no need for an explanation, but at other times it explains things to us. For example, the autopilot explanation at the end of the movie or
Who told you to tell the truth?
You had no right!
This is disturbingly accurate
Cameras with stronger security will become more and more important, though on a theoretical level, they could be cracked or forged, but I suppose it's the usual cat and mouse game
True, sooner or later there might be ways to make sure that a picture or video are digitally signed and probably it would be very hard to crack, but theoretically a fake video might still pass for real (though it would require a lot of resources to make that happen)
Right, but anyone would like to not be in a video implying them in a crime, but I was wondering what would happen if fake videos of said person were to appear implicating a crime that actually did not take place
How are we going to have evidence in trials when deep fakes and AI is getting so perfect at "being real"?
If AI and deep fakes can listen to a video or audio of a person and then are able to successfully reproduce such person, what does this entail for trials?
It used to be that recording audio or video would give strong information which often would weigh more than witnesses, but soon enough perfect forgery could enter the courtroom just as it's doing in social media (where you're not sworn to tell the truth, though the consequences are real)
I know fake information is a problem everywhere, but I started wondering what will happen when it creeps in testimonies.
How will we defend ourselves, while still using real videos or audios as proof? Or are we just doomed?
... And also Eternity is uber cool!
How does the old saying go?
Ah, yes: "This is funny because it is true"
I'm always amazed how this gibberish song managed to become popular outside of Italy and, aided by memes and frequent resharing, still being known today!
Question: how do you update extensions?
I'm curious because I normally just update Firefox when it notifies me and normally reboot my machine once a day and I notice I never ever have seen ads with uBlock Origin + Firefox, not even on my phone.
Doesn't uBlock Origin update automatically?
Even if they did so, isn't Firefox entirely open source? At least their work could be forked (though I agree if they don't have the resources, hardly anyone else could make it)
An old meme, with a beautiful new spin.
I'm lovin' it!
What is a well structured origin story (or super power) for a comic book super hero?
Lots of superheroes are "children of the atom" in the sense that they derive powers from some sort of radioactivity (think Spiderman or Hulk or even Daredevil) while others are just born with powers without explanation (X-Men, Thor, Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman).
Who is a superhero that is somehow grounded in reality, meaning that they could "potentially" make sense (either their origin story is believable, even if it has some obvious gap to make a super power happen, or their power is somehow limited or constructed in a "reasonable" way).
I guess with these restrictions, Batman would be OK since he's got no superpowers, but he's insanely rich and therefore can both train himself and have access to sophisticated gadgets, but can you think of less obvious ones (even if they're minor characters)?
Thanks for reading this!
Edit: thanks for all the answers and apologies for the slow replies. I've had a couple of complicated days. I'll now go through answering you. Several people made
Where does pollution go when it rains?
I unfortunately live in a very polluted area, one where air quality apps mark in red and recommend that I never get out of my lair.
When it rains enough the air quality becomes more bearable and here comes the question: where does pollution go when it rains hard? Does it get pushed to the ground and stays there? Does it get embedded in the water (so instead of breathing it, I get to drink it later in the tap water)?
I'm curious to know where it gets dispersed or stuck (to possibly avoid it)
Why do some posts disappear, but can still be voted?
Yesterday I saw a post about the Reddit IPO and commented on it. The post was on c/World News of Lemmy.World and seemed to just have been posted since it had no comments.
I then kept scrolling as usual and found out that the same exact post with the same title had already appeared on c/Technology of Lemmy.World with lots of comments and votes, so I understood the first one I saw was a repost and this was likely the original post and I decided to write the same comment again.
Now something interesting happened. I use Eternity and see my two identical comments being up or down voted and someone replied to my first comment (and I can see this reply in my inbox), but I cannot access the first post anymore (it says "error refreshing the page")
Thought the first post had been taken down because perhaps the original poster or mods decided it was a repost, but I woke up this morning and both of my comments keep being voted, so someone must be able to see both posts!
How is this possible?
Raccontate le vostre storie terribili con operatori telefonici
Vorrei evitare di rendere almeno questo mio post una pubblicità con questo o quell'operatore, quindi anonimizzerò le varie compagnie (ma voi sentitevi liberi di fare ciò che vogliate).
Ho varie storie brutte di operatori mobili italiani
(1) Nel 2019 decido di cambiare dall'operatore A con cui ero da tre anni, all'operatore Z per vedere come mi sarei trovato. Il contratto che avevo con A durava due anni e dopo ero libero di cambiare, dato che erano quasi tre anni, passo a Z senza farmi problemi. Qualche mese dopo, nell'ultimo estratto conto della Banca Popolare di Vincenza (prima di essere assorbita da Banca Intesa) trovo 50 euro trattenuti dalla Cattiva A senza ragione. Non me ne sarei accorto perché la mia carta di credito stava venendo chiusa prima del passaggio e non mi hanno notificato niente
(2) Siamo nel 2023. Mia madre aveva un contratto con A (sempre loro) da ormai da 11 anni. Contratto bruttino (pagava 13 euro al mese per 10 GB di dati e telefonate illimitate), ma a lei and
The Cool Guy saga
They post a video every five years and it's simple, but I like their imagination.
Here's Cool Guy 2 and Cool Guy 2.5
Some feature requests and questions
Are any of these features already existing (and can be activated, but I didn't see how)?
(1) Making the sub-lemmy in the header have a different color so the user can visually spot the topic before reading the title
(2) Moving the header road footer, so see the topic/sub-lemmy after the title of the post
(3) removing the exclamation mark in the sub-lemmy header across the app. Since it's present in all sub-lemmy's it is a bit a nuisance
(4) change the size of the sub-lemmy names in the list of subscribed sub-lemmy's
(5) write in user's points in the about tab
(6) graying out titles of posts already read
(7) search through posts you only upvoted (but not saved). This may be a Lemmy feature request and not just Liftoff though as I've seen this lacking from all other apps I tried
Thanks for making a really awesome app!
Come faccio ad entrare su feddit.it con profili di altre istanze?
Sono su Lemmy da circa un mese e mezzo e ho due profili, uno su Lemmy.World ed uno su Lemmy.Zip
Vorrei unirmi ad alcune comunità di Feddit.it, ma non riesco a trovarle su Jerboa o da Connect for Lemmy (le app che uso per accedere a Lemmy).
Ho provato ad andare direttamente su feddit.it e immettere le mie credenziali di Lemmy.World, ma non hanno funzionato. Avevo capito che nel fediverse bastasse avere le credenziali di una istanza e tutte le istanze federate accettassero queste credenziali.
Come faccio a cercare e unirmi alle comunità con i miei profili di Lemmy?
Oppure devo per forza farne uno nuovo apposito per feddit.it?
Grazie mille
Why do I appear as "pending" forever in some communities and why can't I search for some instances I know to exist?
Since I joined joined Lemmy, I signed up for two instances (Lemmy.World and Lemmy.Zip) because I didn't entirely understand the fediverse and also because it seemed useful to be on multiple instances, since Lemmy.World sometimes has outages.
Anyhow, coming from Reddit I started to look for communities I care about and I tried to join them. It's been two months now and there are some communities where I clicked on "join" and I still appear as "pending". Of course, they need to chose to approve me, but I'm wondering what I must do to prove worthy.
Moreover, I learned about communities I might want to join and I cannot find them from the two instances I signed up for. More precisely, I wanted to join some communities on feddit.it and I cannot find them from the search bar in Jerboa, while I can see them from Connect for Lemmy but I can only browse them as guest. Is that because they're not federated with the two communities I signed up for?
I suppose in that case I need to try to make
