If frozen embryos are considered as children, then it must be acceptable to freeze children.
Please don’t take this satirical thought seriously, just take it for what it is, total nonsense.
We should stop saying "The customer is always right" because it's not true
In the grand scheme of things, the customer may have slightly more pull than the cashier ringing up their order, but it’s the CEO and the board of directors that control the narrative. That’s why we’re getting bigger and less fuel efficient vehicles, bigger and more fattening meal portions in restaurants, and bigger less...
English is weird
I got hung up on contractions this morning regarding the word “you’ve”. Normally, I’d say “you’ve got a problem”, which expands to “you have got a problem”, which isn’t wrong, but I normally wouldn’t say. Not contracting, I’d say “you have a problem”, so then should I just say “you’ve a...
Part of why internet search sucks is that many gave up trying in the face of Google.
Pseudo-monopolies are great at extinguishing imagination like that, and tbh Google search (as I understand its basic setup) was only as good as it was thanks to timing and few really good competitors.
AI is like a hammer
Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough....
Dinosaurs wouldn't be that popular if they were small like dogs
Alternative title: Dinosaurs wouldn’t be that big if they weren’t that big
Gloves should be a requirement to keep in a glove box.
Otherwise it defeats the purpose of calling it a glove box. If gloves are not in this box it would be more accurate to describe that volume as a passenger compartment.
Instead of only voting for one candidate we should be able to upvote or downvote each candidate
It would be great to be able to vote for every candidate in an election instead of only once and you can decide to upvote, downvote, or not vote for any candidate. This way you never “throw away” your vote and extreme/hated candidates can be downvoted so if im not a fan of any candidate but one is particularly awful I can...
Saying you're down to do something means the same thing as saying you're up for it.
“Do you want to do this thing with me?”...
If anything happen to Linux today, like what happened to Windows, most of the internet would be dead.
Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime
People are out there right now trying to correct every grammar mistake on the internet.
English is such a peach.
It’s bullshit that the opposite of “impeachable” is “unimpeachable” instead of “peachable”
Why don't we put butter and sour cream on French fries? They're basically like tiny skinless baked potatoes...
I bet it would be delicious
With this heat, I find an idea of a safe and temp-regulated bath-bed tempting.
But I’m sure a daily 8hr sleep in water isn’t something our bodies are ready for. What are probable effects? Can we mitigate them?
Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife?
Lemmy's major collective account cake days are coming up soon.
Are we doing anything interesting for the celebration?
Lemmy is a perfect reddit replacement in terms of saving a post "for later" and never coming back to it
Applicants probably spend more time skimming job openings than Managers spend skimming through CVs
Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company
A universal basic income to the ultra wealthy would be perceived by them as being given a couple pennies every month
The way someone with $100,000,000 would perceive $1000 is how someone with $100,000 would perceive $1.
What if life is a roguelike game ?
What if when we die, we respawn, as another human, or even, another species....
Getting mad at having a headache is your brain getting mad at itself for hurting
That said does anyone have any tips for having a headache?...
The word movie is probably only about 100 years old, yet incredibly ingrained into our culture.
Where the hell does wind begin??
I could swear I knew the answer in grade 5 and no longer remember but like at what point is it one step to the right and no wind and suddenly wind a step further. Like rain starts from the clouds (and I assume thunder too) but what about wind.
