solidgrue , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in How come neither burps nor hiccups are usually painful, but a combination of both is?
@solidgrue@lemmy.world avatar

When you burp, your stomach contracts and your esophagus relaxes, allowing air to expel. When you hiccup, your diaphragm contracts, and your esophagus closes up. I dunno. Kinda. I’m mock-hiccupping and burping as I type this and that seems to be what’s going on.

When all three contract, everything jams up, and that hurts.

Cool story time: Sometimes I hiccup really hard and it’s kind of painful. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

fubbernuckin ,

My hiccups always hurt. Why does my body have an internal fist it can use to repeatedly punch me in the stomach?

I think your diaphragm is more like a fist punching you in the lower lungs.

Best answer, thank you!

bungle_in_the_jungle , to games in Where do you find new games nowadays? (Both singleplayer + multiplayer)

SkillUp’s “This week in video games” videos are great both for news about the industry, and what’s coming up and worth keeping an eye out for. Listening to podcasts is another good one. I listen to MinnMax every week in particular.

MadhuGururajan , to lemmyshitpost in The duality of Lemmy

Funnily this post is so meta as it is trying to ascribe multiple behavior to what looks like a single entity called Lemmy whereas it’s a town square that anyone can post to.

MotoAsh ,

More stupid human tribalism expressing itself through anthropomorphization of a community.

Stupid humans be stupid. It even turned “being a redditor” in to an insult.

CallMeButtLove , to science_memes in I love antique books.

I unironically really like that name.

I don’t know why, but to me it looks like their eyes should be further back, closer to their ears, or maybe their ears are too far back. I assume that’s why they went extinct.

Empricorn ,

I’ll pass that along to God…

BakerBagel ,

That’s where the wyes are located on surviving rhinos.They are technically a prey species, sohey didn’t really need to see what was dead ahead of them, since they were foragers. No predator is coming at them from the front, so they really only need to see what is at their sides.

sj_zero , to patientgamers in I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release?

Creative industries in general have been somewhat stagnant including TV, video games, movies, and so on.

Part of it is the raw bureaucratization of society where box checkers and rule followers are getting into creative positions and being uncreative.

That's also why there are good things out there in niche spaces, because creative people didn't disappear they're just keeping low.

artinel , to linux in How was your experience using Linux in college?

Software engineering student here. Well we had a course about Microsoft excel but i used Libreoffice and almost got a full mark. There were no problem with lessons like Advanced programming (C#) and Data structure (C and C++) and few others with languages like python and php. There has been few courses that requires softwares that are not available on linux(Cisco packet tracer and Proteus) but wine solved the problem perfectly. Back in high school i even managed to run Visual Studio but it was hard tbh. I don’t know about what they teach on the other countries colleges but i think you should mostly be fine with linux and wine.

OpenRCT2

An open source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2

Psythik ,

I really wish someone would do an OpenRCT3. It was so much fun being able to ride your creations. I had a 3D projector back then too, which made the game even more awesome. Such an underrated sequel.

And yes I’m aware that Planet Coaster exists but has anyone actually tried playing that game? They made everything way too complicated and I just can’t get into it. I don’t want to engineer every single bend and design the perfect landscaping from scratch, I just want to slap some rides together, see the guests come pouring in, and occasionally ride one of my rides (in VR, ideally). No game since RCT 3 has satisfied that itch for me.

cucumber_sandwich ,

You might want to have a look at parkitect! Its an hommage to rct1/2 but in a modern 3d presentation

Scrollone ,

OpenRCT2 is awesome, but as of now you still need the original commercial game to play it, since the open source version doesn’t have graphics.

Maybe one day they’re going to recreate graphics from scratch, like they did with the other Chris Sawyer’s reversed engineered game OpenTTD.

TIL “Increasing predation pressure by pinnipeds through the late Cenozoic drove Nautilus into its present-day refuge in the deep tropical Indo-West Pacific Ocean.”

Neato!

Also “Cenozoic” is rather… broad… so for anyone who is curious like me, nautilus…es? Nautili? Whichever, they slowly retreated to their current habitat starting around the Oligocene to the end of the Miocene (source).

@QuarterSwede@lemmy.world avatar

I think the Switch and the Steamdeck/PC are where the creativity is. Indie devs are making games themselves instead of working for large game development studios. If it’s popular enough they publish on Switch as well since it’s Arm based. Mobile is where it’s at honestly.

fpslem ,

Agreed, I’m fairly impressed how many games Nintendo is still releasing for Switch very late in its lifetime.

The services like renting power tools is amazing, or free tickets to museums and stuff.

I loved the Last Week Tonight segment about it, and not just the taxidermy parts 😁

Hadn’t heard of that, thanks, I’ll check it out

SteposVenzny , to gaming in What JRPG combat is your favorite?

Radiant Historia

The enemies are placed on a grid and your characters have abilities that can move them around or place traps on certain squares, plus as part of the game’s time travel theme you can reorganize the upcoming turn order. Use those together and you can arrange the absolute sickest combos, knocking everyone into a big cluster and then wailing the shit out of that cluster.

Just be sure to play the original DS version and not the enhanced 3DS version with new art, voice acting, and story additions that ruin the tone.

That’s actually amazing that we have eclipse shots from Mars. Anyone know how it was taken? What instrument?

CitizenKong ,

Probably a camera of some sort.

Viking_Hippie ,

That would be my guess too. Perhaps aided by a kind of telescope.

Anticorp ,

Think about that though. I guess it’s no big deal to younger people since Mars has been reachable for their whole life, but the fact that we have robots on Mars taking pictures of a solar eclipse and sending it back to earth is just amazing to me! Mars was a huge mystery when I was a kid. Heck, my childhood was at the tail end of society wondering if there were martians living on Mars.

As a younger person… was this thought of as a real possibility by some people? I find that hard to believe

Anticorp ,

Idk if adults believed it was a real possibility, but us kids having read The Martian Chronicles certainly did.

explodicle ,

Yep! They thought Venus might be habitable too. When The War of the Worlds aired, listeners (who missed the disclaimer) thought it was real and panicked.

ElHexo ,

NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars has returned a stunning sequence of images of its moon, Phobos, eclipsing the sun. From Mars’ Jezero Crater, the rover’s SkyCam and MastCam took over 65 images of the event on February 8, one per second, to ensure it captured the short event.
