dan1101 OP , to showerthoughts in Our entire existence may be a sort of stable spacetime bubble that can pop at any moment.

Looks like closest white dwarf is 8.6 light years away. How would that work, would the light from the supernova get here before the radiation/matter/whatever wipes us out? With the star exploding in more or less a 360-degree sphere how much would even hit our solar system?

dan1101 , to worldnews in Companies are collecting your personal data. Here's what you need to know

Boy this was an easy article to write.

But no one can collect your personal data if you don’t give out your personal data. When signing up for mundane sites where no money is involved, give fake info; fake street address, fake birthdate. Abbreviate your name, many sites will accept J Smith instead of John Smith.

This is just prejudice mixed with ridiculousness. Yes covering head to toe seems weird based on western culture. But it doesn’t hurt anything at all, there are certainly no hygiene issues. Do these people know what’s in the ocean? Everything, that’s what, you name it, it’s in there. A bit of cloth isn’t going to affect the ocean .00000000000001%.

Amazon only profited 244 billion dollars last year, don’t make them spend money on actually curating things.

I don’t know, I would choose Voltage for cleaning up a crime scene. Blue things clean better.

dan1101 , to asklemmy in How is it even possible/practical to obey traffic laws?

But why would police look at a line of 100 cars going 65MPH and pull you out of the middle for going 51? Unless it’s for impeding traffic, which is a thing.

It’s not technically right, but you go with the flow of traffic and try not to stand out. Everyone technically breaks traffic laws, including the police. Unless you have exceptionally bad luck or you are traveling past the same speed trap or really strict cop, you likely will not receive any more tickets for 3MPH over. Stop signs though, I always come to a 100% complete stop, if the people behind me don’t like it too bad.

dan1101 , to asklemmy in How is it even possible/practical to obey traffic laws?

You just had some bad luck. I have passed dozens of police while going 3-5 MPH over the limit and they never took a second look at me. Same thing riding with others. The main thing in driving is try to be a decent person and try not to stand out. If you encounter an unsafe asshole, stay away from them. If you are in the middle a line of cars going 10MPH over the limit, you are probably fine. If you at the front of a line of cars going 10MPH over the speed limit, you are more likely to get pulled over because you stand out as the first speeder.

dan1101 , to mildlyinfuriating in lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmy

It’s rule #1 on their rules page (bottom of page): lemmy.world/legal

I wouldn’t expect to be able to use a general purpose server for sketchy content. Who would want that liability?

And without tourists Hawaii would probably be even more expensive.

Plus you get commentary and behind the scenes and such, not sure why most of the streaming services don’t offer that.

dan1101 , to asklemmy in How long does it take for you to fall asleep?

Less than 30 min if I turn the TV sleep timer on 30 min and listen to something quiet/boring. Not sure that’s the best way to do it, but it works.

While this looks very bad, at least we are able to talk about these violations and put a spotlight on them.

dan1101 , to asklemmy in What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

I think the statistics are likely incomplete and flawed. At low speeds and for small people, airbags are often more dangerous than the collision that triggered them. Especially the frontal ones that blow up in your face. Broken noses, black eyes, bruises, lacerations.

Financially airbag deployment tends to total many older or less valuable vehicles even if the rest of the vehicle is sound.

Wearing your seatbelt is the best protection. Seatbelt plus airbag is a bit safer for more serious collisions. Airbags without seatbelts is less safe than no airbags are all. I’m all for seatbelts, less for the big frontal airbags.
