American Psycho was filmed in Toronto Canada in 1999. An estimated 238K people died in Canada in 1999. Yet the “media” remains silent.

MASSIVE Dwarven energy. This image is the closest you’re going to get to seeing a bunch of children of the mountain sitting in their tavern, discussing their metalworking (hobby cars and bikes) and drinking brews that could atomize a human liver with a single sip.

Is there some way to trick the chatgpt training bots by intentionally mislabeling data? Like can I upload some furry pornography tasteful erotica and label it “AP US history assignment - Civil War”?

This is like the homeless person with the clever sign. I’m still not gonna give you anything, but at least I got a giggle out of it.

bloubz ,

Why wouldn’t you give anything to homeless people asking for money?

glibg10b ,

It depends on how well you get by and how widely drugs are available in your area. If I’m barely making ends meet, I don’t want to give the little I have left to someone who will likely spend it on drugs

haui_lemmy ,

Likely not in the same country as the person you asked but where I live, being homeless means you don’t want to go to the government and ask for housing/money. You get both. Those people who run around crowded areas do that as occupation, not because they’re starving.

Kusimulkku ,

I’m receiving the same welfare as they are, if someone is going to use that money on booze then it’s gonna be me

JokeDeity ,

It’s a very fine line. I try to help real homeless people, but there are literally scumbags that are professional panhandlers who will stand by the side of the road with a sign or come up to you with a sob story asking for money, only to get into their car that’s nicer than yours a few hours later and drive to their home that’s bigger than yours. I make horrible horrible pay at my job, there are plenty of these guys that have figured out how to be systematic about it and make 4x what I do from doing so.

Ilovethebomb , to greentext in Anon has a question

If you have a fireplace, used cooking oil burns great.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

How’s the smell though?

Tyfud ,

Like French fries

MachineFab812 ,

French Fry grease will coat your lungs. No reason to be subjecting yourself to that smell if not actively consuming french-fries. I’ve spent enough time frying fast-food and donuts that there’s only the two ways that smell isn’t making me puke: actively cooking or eating. Otherwise, I’m not stepping foot in your fry-scented cancer den.

Ilovethebomb ,

I didn’t notice a smell, all the smoke goes up the chimney obviously.

Death_Equity ,

I hope you get your chimney cleaned often because that flue probably looks bituminous otherwise.

BearOfaTime ,

Why? (Honest question, seems like a good PSA type moment)

sigmaklimgrindset ,

You know the grease you see on the range hood or ceilings of your kitchen/restaurants above the cooktop/stove?

Same thing would happen in your chimney, but combined with wood fire ash.

BearOfaTime ,

But the oil is being burnt?

Is there something from the combustion process that causes issues?

Or are you saying some won’t immediately combust and would go up the chimney?

Would be interesting to see research into this.

Death_Equity ,

Nothing burns cleanly in a fireplace, even gas ones except for ventless ones.

Anything you burn in a fireplace like wood, oil, fat etc. will produce organic compounds that the fire is unable to break down into non-flammable substances because it does not burn hot enough.

A wood fireplace accumulates creosote, which can build until it is capable of igniting and cause a chimney fire. Oil and fat combust very poorly and will coat the flue with material that is easier to ignite than creosote. This ends up being a hazard worse than just wood byproducts because they can ignite and then set the creosote burning.

captainlezbian ,

Complete combustion of hydrocarbons is difficult and usually requires specialized equipment for that hydrocarbon. A fireplace is probably for wood (I assume nobody here is throwing cooking oil into a gas fireplace), but it’s not even good at that. Cooking oil will spatter and polymerize

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Also a great firestarter if you like to go camping.

Viking_Hippie ,

As a 90s kid, I prefer a more twisted firestarter.

I’ll offer that I’ve had the DX for probably a decade and had zero trouble, but of course YMMV.

Digestive_Biscuit ,
@Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk avatar

I had a Xonar about 15 years ago. Can’t remember the model. Its surround sound has a delay on the rear speakers, made playing games in 5.1 impossible, horrible reverb effect. The official drivers didn’t fix it, I had to get a non-official driver pack to fix the issue.

Tupperware?!? In this household we wash the plastic takeout containers and reuse them for years until the become brittle and shatter.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Where i from, some of us call it tupperware too, every plastic container is tupperware.

MxM111 ,

What do you call Tupperware? I thought any plastic container for food is that. Not necessarily newly bought.

JoMiran ,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

Tupperware is a brand. Calling all containers Tupperware is like calling all tissue paper Kleenex or all cotton swabs Q-Tips. Sure, many people do that, but it’s not correct.

Also, Tupperware is expensive.

JohnDClay ,

Kleenex is actually now the correct term according to the dictionary since it’s so commonly used.

Karcinogen ,

Same thing happened to Trampoline. Trampoline was the brand. The generic name is rebound tumbler.

TWeaK ,

Velcro, Hoover (in the UK), Band-Aid; there are tons of them. I’d say Tupperware is at that level, even if not officially so. I’d even argue Coke is - even if I know a palce only does Pepsi, I’m still going to ask for a Coke.

troyunrau ,
@troyunrau@lemmy.ca avatar

There are parts of the US where they use soda; parts that use pop; and parts that use coke. In the latter, the following conversation is normal:

Server: what kind of coke would you like?

Me: root beer.

alquicksilver ,
@alquicksilver@lemmy.world avatar

Being from a “soda” location, this conversation makes my brain do a double take.

JoMiran ,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

That’s hilarious.

Pringles ,

This is quite common in some languages. In Dutch they call plaster plates gyproc, tilt windows velux, a stick of glue pritt and there are countless other examples where an item is named, if not officially at least commonly, after a brand. And of course, also kleenex.

Revan343 ,

Eh. Even genericized, tupperware is still only containers that are intended to be reused

MxM111 ,

Or call acetylated salicylate an aspirin.

brbposting ,
Potatos_are_not_friends ,
Revan343 ,

Plastic food containers that are intended to be reused are tupperware; containers that are intended to be disposable are not

Contramuffin ,

If you are still doing that, don’t do it. Those takeout containers leak microplastics like crazy

nossaquesapao ,

Don’t tupperware leak as well?

I mean, unless you use some sort of glass container or metallic, you’re eating microplastics.

jose1324 ,

Basically not / barely anything

nossaquesapao ,

Do you have any source for this information? If they’re plastic containers, they probably leak aa well.

Contramuffin ,

I’ve heard that they do, but for certain it must be less than re-using takeout containers.

I, myself, I’ve been avoiding all plastics and using strictly glass where possible

BoxerDevil ,

We use butter and cool whip bowls.

Siegfried ,

So, is this JoMiran or the micropladtics speaking?
