If you have reddit coins that are about to go to waste... I would search for a "fuck u/spez" post and award it as much as you can
A little extra traffic will go to reddit… but fuck them. They’re taking monetary value away from your account, so ya might as well use the coins you have as you see fit (while you still can). Fuck u/spez and fuck reddit
The Croc Hunter would have made a very powerful Animorph.
I’ve been reading the Animorph books and had a realization. So many people commented on how the Croc hunter would touch animals, just pick up something that was venomous or plain dangerous, and act like it was not a big deal. Yes, he always cautioned respect for living things, and the general idea was to show that these beings...
A year in Mars is longer than the ones on Earth, so ppl living on Mars would celebrate less birthdays and technically die younger.
Honking at someone when the light turns green is no longer rude because he is probably on his phone
"A Boy Named Sue" is the greatest song about accepting your struggles, while also refusing to pass that trauma onto your children.
The greatest song about accepting your struggles as key to making you who you are, while also refusing to pass that generational trauma on to your own children, is Johnny Cash / Shel Silverstein’s “A Boy Named Sue”...

A User Setting on Lemmy to View Only Votes from Your Instance

This way, you can have a unique experience depending on the instance you are in, as there are instances that cater to different audiences.

Tales about Kobolds imply the existence of Monobolds
And I am really scared about those creatures. Kobolds are most often seen alone and presumably searching for their matching partner to unleash their full power in cooperating. But Monobolds probably have their full potential even when working alone. so be aware of some creature looking like a single Kobold!
FPV drone pilots(like the guys from the footage ginning from Ukraine) are the closest we have in this world to Wargs in the Game of Thrones universe
The problem with AI alignment is that humans aren't aligned
I’m sure there are some AI peeps here. Neural networks scale with size because the number of combinations of parameter values that work for a given task scales exponentially (or, even better, factorially if that’s a word???) with the network size. How can such a network be properly aligned when even humans, the most advanced...
They really named Black Noir "Black Black"
The First Rule of Warfare is that the "First Rule of Warfare" is always the First Rule of Warfare.
You may have heard that the First Rule of Warfare is… [insert actual advice here]. ie.; don’t attack a stronger enemy, there’s no such thing as overkill, the weapon is always loaded, etc. They’re all the First Rule of Warfare.
The rat in Ratatouille will probably die within two years from the end of the movie
Rats don’t live long, the first result on Google says that they live 2-4 years on average and the longest living rat in captivity lived to be 7 years old....
We love old memes because they remind us of a time when we felt like participants instead of consumers
If there is a cartoon for girls called "Hello Kitty," why isn't there a cartoon for boys called "Wazzup Dawggy?"
Even influencers can't seem to influence platform choice

If wetness is the property of having water on something, what is the property of something in water?
I’m firmly on the side of “water is not wet” in this debate, but it’s a question that I was asked while I was high and have no answer to it. Water cannot itself be wet because you can’t get water on water. However, what is a fish in a lake? It can’t be wet until it’s taken out of the water, but it’s not dry...
Now we know that everyone on Lemmy is she 30 and olup based on the old memes everyone is posting
Will future generations look back at the rentention tactics used today like how medicine was used in the past?
Will future generations look at how big corporations do business today like drug dealers - have a product and then try and hijack the brain into continuously wanting or using said product - like how medical herion and cocaine were used as acceptable medical treatments in , I hopefully, assume ignorance...
The valuelessness of Reddit upvotes made Reddit create notifications when your post / comment gets upvoted

Going out of comfort zone is good because it can help catch our "inner demons" at work
When we go out of our comfort zone, go for some new adventure or new challenge, we will naturally pay more attention to what happens in our minds as we’re going through this new experience....
