As I look at this thing from the inside of the fedibubble, it looks like it’s going to be the best thing ever.

Next up: a racing game where you can’t drive any of the cars. Should be a pretty unique experience.

Thanks for taking the time to write this.

Posts like this prove to me that Lemmy is ready to replace Reddit. Probably not completely true for everyone, and every topic, but we’re getting there.

🤣🤣🤣

This is the way.

Proportional representation is pretty close. You still vote a specific politician, but the vote benefits everyone in that party. Basically this means that you really need to read what the party is trying to accomplish and pick the one you like the most. Then you’ll pick your favorite candidate in that party, and cast your vote.

Having looked at this table, it would seem that western countries are at the top of the list when sorted by deaths per million.

However, I don’t think the poor countries even had the resources to collect realistic statistics nor the will to report them honestly. I would only use this table for comparing similar pairs of countries against each other. Comparing wealthy contents with poor ones doesn’t appear to make much sense.

My guess is that poor countries handled it badly, and these statistics don’t even begin to tell how bad it was. Then again, what can you expect when you don’t have many hospitals, nor the money for vaccinating everyone.

Which is exactly what I’m going for. The longer you look, the more it hurts your eyes.

LPT: Design your own generic company logo, and have it printed on a t-shirt.

That was just the sort version. There are even more convoluted ways some consider to be unnatural.

Can confirm. I have a few accounts for keeping different interests separate in YT. I also keep those accounts in different container tabs, but recommendations tend to leak anyway. Google knows what I’m up to.

Here’s the correct way:

  1. Take a photo of your screen with a camera.
  2. Have the film developed or print that photo if you have a digital camera.
  3. Make necessary highlights with a pen.
  4. Scan the paper.
  5. Upload the file here.

You know that super flaky dough used in some salty or sweet pastries? Today someone brought a bag of those at work, and the break room was totally nuked as a result. No matter how careful you are, those flakes are going to get everywhere. [insert relevant prequel meme here]

 

While I was in the shower, I thought of a brilliant idea! Let’s trigger several smaller volcanic eruptions that release a semi-controlled amount of volcanic ash into other atmosphere. That will cool down the atmosphere, which should buy us some time to fix our carbon emissions.

Then I realized, that doing so would block visible light. Plants need the light to grow, and we need the plants to breathe and eat. Obviously, this is not going to be a long term solution. Oh, and how do you even make sure the volcanic eruption doesn’t spiral out of control and suddenly spew out 50 times the ash we were aiming for. Oh, and volcanoes also spew CO2 and even nastier gases, so… It sounded so good while I was still in the shower. The more I think about it, the worse it gets.
