Rolando@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Women are already sexy, but if they turn out in historic levels to destroy Trump they will somehow become even sexier48·5 months agoDO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED
- vote early if you can
- tell your friends to vote early
- contact your local campaign and see if you can help – it’s not too late!
I was going to agree, but I haven’t had Brach’s candy corn in a while, every so often those large companies change the formula to make things cheaper* so it’s hard to be sure.
*latest fad
The youtube algorithm determined the following: people who watch the kind of videos in your history, are also interested in recording netflix shows. And it was right, because you are in fact interested in that (general) topic. This is another possible explanation.

Rolando@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do my pets think I'm yelling at them when I start singing out loud?3·5 months agoMy BFF had this skill: whenever they sang an Elvis tune (like “Blue Moon”) their cats would start humping. They weren’t singing it weird, maybe a little more warbly than normal. Anyway, we were in this zoo once, and I said, “I wonder if that lion would react to your Elvis songs the same way your cats do!” I was just kidding, but my BFF started singing the same way and that lion suddenly became VERY alert and stared right at us. I started wondering if a properly motivated lion could leap that gap that was keeping us separated, and what I would do if it reached us. Anyway, my point is: it depends on how you sing it.
Rolando@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Lost Mayan city found in Mexico jungle by accidentEnglish222·5 months agoMr Auld-Thomas and his colleagues named the city Valeriana after a nearby lagoon.
…
It is “hidden in plain sight”, the archaeologists say, as it is just 15 minutes hike from a major road near Xpujil where mostly Maya people now live.
This archeologist just discovered a Maya city, and they decided to call it “Valeriana” (in the language of the conquistadors) insted of something like “Xpujil” (in the language of the people who still live there.)
They’re not thinking big enough. They should call it “openai.com” and go for corporate sponsorship!
Have also provided the footage to police to prove that said neighbor who stole stuff assaulted another neighbor in the street since the camera covers the driveway.
The problem is: the very next step is “why don’t you just provide a live feed of your cameras to the police?” Maybe we can start with just part of the time, like when you’re on vacation. Hey, we’ll give you a great deal on your insurance… for the first year.

The first time I heard that Prince sample on The Juggla, I freaked.

MMFCL. I just started to listen to them in January. FFFury, Tempest, and Mighty Death Pop are my current favorites, though every album has at least 1-2 amazing songs.

Rolando@lemmy.worldto memes@lemmy.world•Starter Kit to browse Web in 2024/2025 (Must-have)2·6 months agoHey, sorry for asking this here… I used to access public instances through a URL like this: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=sTEm--FVNe0 and previously there’d be a long list of public instances, whereas now there are only 3-4. I assume this is due to Google’s attacks. If you have a link available, can you direct me to a web page or discussion or something that explains exactly what’s going on there? I’m interested in learning more about the technical details. Thanks.
Rolando@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Store making me feel like an outcast because of privacy concerns17·6 months agoThe last time I bought a Mac was like 10 years ago, at an independent computer shop that specialized in them. The person at the register insisted on getting my personal info “because Apple needed it” but I didn’t want to give it. The person at the register very slowly sauntered up to their manager, had a long discussion, and eventually they figured something out because I suddenly didn’t need to give my info. It was kind of nervewracking because I was paying cash and I was like: what if I hand it over, and they change their mind? It’s not like I could call the cops, I’m the wrong demographic.
Anyway, whenever I thought about getting an Apple system, I remembered that experience and went with something else.
Rolando@lemmy.worldto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Rare VHS Tape Uncovers Details from the Data East vs. Capcom Legal Battle | Retro Gaming News 24/7English4·6 months agoCompare to excavation of the Atari video game burial:
Remnants of E.T. and other Atari games were discovered in the early hours of the excavation, as reported by Microsoft’s Larry Hryb.[48][49] A team of archaeologists was present to examine and document the Atari material unearthed by excavation machinery… Only about 1300 cartridges of the estimated 700,000 were removed from the burial, as the remaining materials were deeper than expected, which made them more difficult to access, according to Alamogordo mayor Susie Galea.[51] The cartridges found were from 59 different games, the majority of which were for the Atari 2600; six were Atari 5200 titles. Atari hardware was also excavated.[52] The burial was refilled following this event.
Rolando@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is voting before the deadline in US elections referred to as 'early voting'?4·6 months agoIf you look at the meaning of the word “early” there are several senses.
- One sense is “At a time in advance of the usual or expected event.” e.g. if someone suffered an “early death.” Another sense of the word is “Arriving a time before expected; sooner than on time.” e.g. “you arrived early today!” You’re right that in these two senses of the word, “early voting” sounds weird.
- But there’s another sense of the word early: “Near the start or beginning.” e.g. “Shakespeare’s early works”. There’s also “Near the start of the day.” as in “It’s too early for this sort of thing. I’m not awake yet.” Another sense is “Having begun to occur; in its early stages.” e.g. “an early cancer”. In these senses of the word, “early voting” sounds a lot better.

Rolando@lemmy.worldto movies@lemm.ee•What is your hot take about Stanley Kubrick's cinema?English6·6 months agoHis approach to adapting stories is worth thinking about. He didn’t take a book/story and start carefully adapting scenes. He used them as a starting point.
Sure, but… is “too much discussion” really a problem that Lemmy has? This is kind of a threatening time for some of us, especially if we don’t have a lot of friends irl.
