I was looking for a paper from fucking 2010 that was cited in a Wikipedia article and it was still behind a goddamn paywall.
Sci-Hub is the GOAT.
The original announcement is from 2020, but this article is from a few weeks ago and makes it sound like breaking news. Kinda disappointing.
I'd love to see the source on this. I didn't see anything from a quick search.
I feel like Fry didn't try hard enough. There definitely still were options, avenues to explore. By running away he just outed himself for how vanilla he is in bed.
I want to see someone build this so badly.
This guy did something in the same vein but tried to make a musical instrument instead: https://youtu.be/yFIxf2gTg_k
There's actually a great XKCD "What If?" post that covers this: https://what-if.xkcd.com/140/
It was obviously designed to distract from any rumors of a Stargate program underneath NORAD in the Cheyenne Mountain complex.
Why wait for an app? Just start posting personals ads in the comments under memes you like.
crazy idea
I was thinking vol-cel, but yeah.
crazy idea
I'm the polar opposite of an incel. I don't hate women, I respect them too much to subject them to my bullshit.

Another meme inspired me to make this

I really wonder how much of these wild swings is just from sampling bias, because I'd expect the actual trends to be a lot smoother.
This is the same article that was posted yesterday with the title "Kill DNS"
I mean, I've never actually set foot inside a strip club, so maybe they're not all owned and patronized by total skeezeballs like the media portrays. I just don't have much reason to assume that's the case here.
But like OP said in another reply, it seems like it might have been a hoax anyway, so it doesn't matter.
That sounds... weirdly specific and exploitative. If it was for queer people in general that'd be one thing, but I dunno.
Why the fuck would a SOUND BAR need automatic updates? It's not exactly a complex system.
Does the genus name literally translate to "shapeless dick"?
God, I love scientists.
Edit: yeah, basically

Just listened to that one. Also great.
If anyone is a punk rock fan, Dropkick Murphys put out an album based on unused Woody Guthrie lyrics.
It's called This Machine Still Kills Fascists.
The human body is 70% water. The energy required to evaporate all that would wipe out anything you'd get from combusting the organic matter. And it's not like they could leave them out back to dry out like seasoning firewood.
In the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), having multiple faiths is explicitly forbidden in the Ten Commandments: https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James)/Exodus#20:1
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
And you can see this play out historically: when Christians met peoples of other faiths, they didn't see it as an opportunity for learning and cultural exchange, they saw them as heathens that needed to be proselytized... or eradicated.
Conversely, I feel like Buddhists are the most likely to have other faiths, because Buddhism changed and adapted as it spread throughout Asia, and incorporated elements of the local religions.

Hey they're not lying, it definitely looks sharp

The order of the person ahead of me was still on screen when I pulled up to order. I took the picture in a bit of a hurry cause I didn't know when the screen was gonna reset.

(Archive link in case it's changed.)
This article is a surprisingly entertaining read for a few reasons:
- one or more people who wrote it clearly have very strong opinions about how nuclear weapons should be built
- the article contains a surprising amount of detail, including stuff that seems like it'd be classified or at least censored
- due to both of the above, there's a ton of

Has anyone else gotten emails out of the blue from random members of Congress that sound like replies to something you sent in?
Over the past couple weeks I've gotten emails from both Senators and a House Rep from the State of Minnesota. All three emails have been concerning the Israel/Palestine conflict, and are worded as replies to a some message I sent them.
I've never set foot in the state, let alone lived there (I'm on the other side of the country). I've never sent messages to any of those members of Congress, and I've never signed any petition giving any group the right to contact Congress about this matter.
I suspect my name and email address might have been used in some sort of astroturfing campaign targeting Congress. Or these might be spam emails impersonating the members of Congress for some reason. I noticed the House rep and one of the Senators is up for re-election this year.
Has anyone else gotten emails like this?
I've tried to send messages back to these people but the forms on their websites require submitting an address in their state/district, so I'm not sure what to do. The From: addr

This meme has become a running joke in my friend group: https://lemmy.world/post/7405623
We were fucking around with the Meta AI in WhatsApp and I got it to say this
