Cano , to memes in You are wrong.

I tried to correct someone’s grammar and someone else wrote a multi-paragraph response on why “should of” is an acceptable alternative to “should have”.

Best interaction of my life, unironically

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Kind of like the more proper “hell of” instead of “hella.”

bdonvr ,

The best part is their autocorrect changed it to “should have”, so they said something like “should have is just as correct as should have”

CyberEgg ,

Damn, I remember that discussion.

EmpathicVagrant ,

There’s no reason a civil discussion can’t be had, even when the other person insists on being confidently incorrect.

flashgnash ,

But it’s really funny to watch, especially if both of them are wrong and won’t back down

jaybone ,

Just curious, what was the main gist of their argument?

pixelscience , (edited ) to mildlyinfuriating in New cars are great...

Sometimes you can just tell something sucks without even using it… All you need to know comes from looking at the fonts and button designs. What car is this?

Yeah. Thing that sucks is that it’s a good car though. The “infotainment” system is really the only thing I don’t like about it.

Donjuanme , to noncredibledefense in Prigozhin you were the chosen one

I wanted the conscripts to take Moscow, then shoot both those soulless bastards in the face.

Fuck that guy for being unquestionably a Nazi, and fuck Putin for everything else. Putler wants to eliminate the Nazis from Ukraine by employing Nazis to do it. Russian citizens wtf?

Ramin_HAL9001 , to linux in Ad from 1985 - A saying about source code

Applications without source code don’t exist.

Oh, they meant, “you should have the source code to the applications you use.” Well in that case, good call on them.

erwan ,

Yes unfortunately they do.

In the 90’s I wrote some Visual Basic applications, the only source code they had was isolated snippets to describe the buttons actions.

But most of the app was not based in source code but directly on a binary formal that VB could understand.

Fun fact: flipping the switch on the surge protector while someone was working on one of these was absolutely devastating to their work. They would remind you about the incident nearly 40 years later.

WackyTabbacy42069 ,

Hey, I recognize you from this comment! You flipped that switch so many decades ago, ruining everything I had worked so hard for. I’ll always remember.

Those lost 50KB of work will forever be etched into my mind. Quite literally: the second I get my hands on a 30TB neurolink you bet your goddam ass I’m making a 50KB text file with your name on repeat, so that I’ll always hear your name echo in my thoughts. “u/[email protected] flipped my surge protector’s switch”, for x in range infinity

cmgvd3lw , to science_memes in It definitely *was* a good idea though

Someone give me some context

Dieterlan ,

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don’t know what “fossilized algae” refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom). After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it. He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak

bogdugg ,
@bogdugg@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know what “fossilized algae” refers to

Looked it up:

Nobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated in an absorbent inert substance like kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) it became safer and more convenient to handle, and this mixture he patented in 1867 as “dynamite”.

Diatomaceous earth consists of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled microalgae.

LemmyKnowsBest ,

Ooh. Diatomaceous earth is also the best safest healthiest most humane method of fending off bed bugs.

JudahBenHur ,

I’m all for being humane but I would stab a bed bug with a pin and yell “die, fucker”. Same goes for mosquitos, ticks and fleas.

Isn’t diotemacious earth cancer causing if you breath it in?

Microplasticbrain ,

Most shit will cause lung cancer if you make it into a powder and inhale enough of it.

Steve ,

Water. (Snow or frost)

Microplasticbrain ,

Pretty sure that if you got snow in your lungs you would get pneumonia, or perhaps frostbite in your lungs. if you get frost bite in your lungs repeatedly, just as any other repeated injury it can increase your risk of cancer in those cells that are repeatedly damaged.

onion ,

Neat

maculata ,

What if you got Celtic Frost, or David Frost into your lungs?

Or how about Frosted Cornflakes? (Fun fakt: Tony the Tiger’s real name is Anthony Tigris, but his close friends call him ‘Panties’ for binomial reasons as well as his penchant for white lacies)

TwoCubed , (edited )

In this case it’s pretty much the same risk as inhaling asbestos dust. Fun fact, in the past, beer was filtered through asbestos, which was perfectly safe because asbestos is only dangerous when inhaled. Nowadays it’s filtered through Kieselgur because its properties are pretty much identical to those of asbestos.

sandalbucket ,

Fortunately, diacontagious (or however you spell it) earth is not very “humane”. It cuts their wax layer as they crawl through it, leaving just enough of a gap that they can’t contain moisture, and they dehydrate / mummify to death.

This fun fact brought me much comfort while I lied in bed, slapping every itch and wincing at every breeze.

DrRatso ,

DE is abrasive, and that does help, but the main reason it works is because it is a desiccant, so like a silica packet it dehydrates the insect.

Quereller ,

Not when you mix it with nitroglycerin.

I’m just now learning that version I always heard was an FM radio edit and the song is not called “Sexy Chick.”

I ruined that song for everyone by insisting he says "Sexy Fish"
