  • And the water always tastes like shit out of these because they don't clean the tip. On the old style it was always sharing lemonade or Powerade and you could just run the line for a second or two to clear it

    In light of the latest Nintendo controversy...

    Also we're charging full price for an 8 year old Wii-U title, DLC sold separately.

  • My 16-year-old cat just needed an ultrasound a few days ago, and they gave her some sedative that made her go completely limp in my arms within like 30 seconds. I was not even remotely prepared for that, and it felt like she died in my arms. Needless to say, I cried a bunch and I think I also got a taste of some shit I was not ready for that day.

  • Screw #8. Everyone here including OP missed out on the actual best Zebra mechanical pencil. The Zebra DelGuard.

    It has this crazy mechanism that resists lead breakage by dropping a shield down if you press too hard.

    They even made limited edition Hello Kitty ones years ago I imported. Best 0.3mm mechanical pencil I've ever used.

  • Maybe not in your country. I literally just checked on the American store and it's still included with the Valve Index.

    They even give you a free copy of Half-Life Alyx if you buy a pair of knuckles controllers for $279.

    Pet food nutritional facts are lying to you (Explanation in the body)

    cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/30405690

    Hello! I realize the title sounds a bit clickbaity, but it's not hyperbole.

    The short explanation is the nutritional facts on pet food includes its water weight, which makes the other percents like protein and fat on the packaging effectively pointless and impossible to compare from one product to the next, and they almost never include the ash and carbohydrate content. What you need is the dry matter basis, which is the percent breakdown excluding the water.

    So what to do?

    Well if you want a simple answer, just use https://catfooddb.com/ which has already done most of the leg work for you. Go find your preferred brand and check out the foods you're already feeding and pay attention to the pie charts to see how much protein, fat, and carbohydrates there are in the food you're currently using.

    Is your food not list? Don't fret!

    If you are taking your pet food choices seriously, you can repeat her find

    Now that we know the 'Duty To Warn' letter written by Stephen Spoonamore is misleading per Snopes as discussed here: https://lemmy.world/post/22317681, I figured it was worth mentioning there is another unrelated letter with a similar message that seems more credible. The letter is linked in the article, but here's a direct link for the curious: https://freespeechforpeople.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/letter-to-vp-harris-111324-1.pdf

    TIL eating 1 gram polar bear liver can be fatal due to an overdose of vitamin A that makes your skin fall off

    A healthy human liver contains 575 international units (IU) of vitamin A per gram while a polar bear's liver contains between 24,000 and 35,000 IU per gram. Compare that to the tolerable upper level of vitamin A intake for a healthy adult human: 10,000. Signs of toxicity generally occur when approximately 25,000 to 33,000 IU are consumed.

    Illness severity depended on how much liver the explorers consumed, but symptoms typically included drowsiness, sluggishness, irritability, severe headache, bone pain, blurred vision and vomiting. While milder cases merely involved flaking around the mouth, some accounts reported cases of full-body skin loss. Even the thick skin on the bottoms of a patient's feet could peel away, leaving the underlying flesh bloody and exposed. The worst cases ended in liver damage, hemorrhage, coma and death.

    SSC 2023 Grand Finals - Kurabba (Yoshi) Vs. Isai (Pikachu) Smash 64 Tournament

    Kurabba, the #1 player in the world, beat Isai sending him to losers bracket 1-3. Isai turned on the heat and proceeded to steamroll the rest of the tournament and beat Kurabba 6-0 resetting the bracket and taking the championship! Truly the GOAT. His aggressive pikachu was amazing to watch.

    TIL upper atmospheric lightning is terrifying looking

    Lightning sprites literally look like something out of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and they're frankly horrifying! I can only imagine what ancient civilizations must have thought.

    Ocarina of Time is unplayable 😞

    I ran into this while taking geology courses at university, and the lack of attention to detail by the developers is frankly insulting.

    EDIT: The red line is what the developers did. The green line is what they should have done for realism. Explanation in the comments.

    I got a lot of push-back on a comment I made here about how bigger trucks/suvs are the primary cause the increasing pedestrian death-rate in America so apparently more people need to see this video.
