We did a lot of straight algebra in highschool, I don’t need the exact skill but its boosted my abstract thinking a lot which helps in other things

GeneralVincent ,

Lucky, my school only did gay algebra and look at me now 😩

daellat ,

But have you found x 😁

polonius-rex , in Look at his little helmet

My fave part is when Ripley fights the xylophone queen in the mech outfit

RandomVideos , in Toss a coin to yer Witcher

I put the toilet roll without thinking, resulting in the orientation being random

gcheliotis ,

I am disgusted and appalled.

terminhell , in But can it run Crysis?

Mine already does it. Send help, I have 20+ years of playtime.

Cagi , in The "xylo" is greek for wood

The vibraphone wants a word. Lionel Hampton is spinning in his grave.

Fester ,

The marimba has left the chat.

As far as I understand, a vibraphone is basically a glockenspiel with resonators

praise_idleness ,

Ah, I see. It’s Xylophones

bstix ,

A xylophone has wooden bars.

A marimba is a xylophone with resonator tubes.

A glockenspiel is a xylophone with metal bars…

A metal marimba is a marimba with metal bars (or a glockenspiel with resonator tubes).

A vibraphone is a metal marimba with a motor spinning a disc inside the resonators which can create a vibrato and it has a damper (sustain pedal).

oooh I see, thanks for that clarification :)

Slovene ,

No, vibraphone is the setting that discretely lets you know someone is calling you without annoying everyone around you.

Unboxed?

Worthless.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot ,

At least it’s still got its accessories.

UltraMagnus0001 , in Remember this when you feel powerless

Remember that skit where Tom Green put pooh in the soup and ask the restaurant employees to mell it?

Whenever you’re feeling powerful just remember one thing…
Your pubes are going to turn gray.

UltraMagnus0001 ,

I heard some tastes are on the salty side ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Console_Modder , in They captured a Russian shed!!
@Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works avatar

So, does the entire shed have to spin when the turret moves or can the tank only shoot straight forward now?

Magickmaster ,

Apparently yes

Kangie ,

The “tank” has an immobile or mostly immobile turret, depending on the particular design of this piece of battlefield ingenuity. Units appear to be making these modifications at the frontline to improve survivability against FPV drones but there isn’t a standard package.

Absolutely brilliant

andrewrgross , in Israel's Perfect Match

This meme is bad.

  1. if you look closely, you’ll notice that there’s no real joke. Israel and Nazi Germany should date. That’s a shit tier joke. It’s relying on edginess too hope paper over that there’s no real humor.
  2. from a political commentary perspective, it’s awful. We have a colonial state founded by people who have experienced a collective tragedy that they then allowed to justify displacement of an indigenous population, followed by decades of alliance with Western imperialism and a slide to the hard right, with lots of delusion and gas lightning. And we have an aggrieved former great power looking to expand over neighbors while killing of undesirable immigrants. Yeah, two genocides. But they’re materially different in terms of approach, and the groups pictured hate each other. It’s like you know there’s atrocities, and you know Jews are involved, and that’s kind of the end of your insight but you really wanted to make a meme anyway.

Find something interesting to say.

Also, free Gaza, release the hostages, lock up Netanyahu and all the rest, etc etc

9point6 , in The "xylo" is greek for wood

This always messed with me as a kid because for no reason I can come up with, xylophone made sense as the metal one and glockenspiel made sense as the wood one

It took more effort than it should to unlearn this

pumpkinseedoil , (edited )

German Glocke = English bell = made out of metal

Literally Glockenspiel = bell game

menemen , (edited )
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

And this is why it is good advice not to think too much about that word as a German speaker.

Flughoernchen ,

Chiming in for clarification: Literally it’s “bell game” but the word’s meaning is more like “bells that play” or “bells to play with”.

Xylo=wood in Greek

Knowing this made this even more confusing though!

Reason: so suggesting genicide is ok?

Have the Zionists ever done a number on people.

Reporter and @SatansMaggotyCumFart, what if I told you a people is not a state?

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

I didn’t report the meme, I just commented on it.

I know, and sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that you did.

Got_Bent , in Math

Most of the math I do at work is related to compound interest. Of all the math I believe the general public should understand, the concept of how paying interest to others is a total screw would get my top vote.

I have a co-worker who took out a car loan last week at, wait for it, FIFTY THREE PERCENT INTEREST! No concept of what that was costing her. She could only see, “I can afford the monthly payment.”

(1 + r)^n and its friend 1/(1 + r)^n have been the two most important concepts in work and personal life that I’ve ever learned and applied.

ScrotusMaximus ,

Sounds like predatory lending

Got_Bent ,

I would agree, but it’s not my life, not my money. You can’t really go around telling people they fucked up every time you see it.

zonsopkomst ,
@zonsopkomst@lemmy.ml avatar

True. Plus, while dumb, 53% will always beat the interest extracted by two goons and a baseball bat. There’s always a trade-off!

RememberTheApollo_ ,

53%?!

Sounds like one of those shitty used car joints “no credit, no problem” that you sign your life away for a mediocre car.

barsquid ,

That is usury. That cannot be legal? Oh, no, I just checked, wow, usury laws are weak af.

Got_Bent ,

Usury was indeed the term that immediately came to mind.

FlihpFlorp , in Checkmate

Wait is his chest censored

Track_Shovel OP ,

No. Just rendered by a PS1

Makes sense

I’m also noticing a disappointing lack of giant blue dong

FlihpFlorp ,

I don’t swing that way but it’s truly unfortunate 😔

Tylerdurdon ,

He’s just not whole without the blue kielbasa.

…like Kool aid with no sugar, ham with no burger!

Bertuccio ,

If you’ve seen the film, it will do all the swinging for you.

Something was clearly wrong with this picture.
