No need to thank me

we don’t talk about accents

The hell we don’t, I was visiting a friend in Firenze and they were constantly bullying me over my “perchè”

Ew gross a Reddit

* starts posting screenshots of mind-numbingly inane posts from Twitter and calling them memes

I’m more upset about the “think, Mark, think!” meme - I can understand replacing “part” with “thing” in this macro, but where the actual fuck did that second “think” come from?

i was hungy :c

Americans were too illiterate and unhealthy to serve in the military

could kill whistleblowing

The lawmakers in question:

This was my reaction at first, but after reading the entire thread, the crashout is actually somewhat entertaining

Yes, even if the conversation involves that guy from Limitless

Step 1: launch X3: Terran Conflict

/s and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

They have greatly increased the likelyhood of those of us who read wild takes to understand they’re sarcastic, but they have spoiled society, have made doomscrolling unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to misunderstandings, have led to widespread psychological brainrotting (in the Third World actually no, the lack of social media has some perks) and have inflicted severe damage on the human ability to discern facetiousness.

The continued development of LLMs will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human users to greater policing of “”“spicy”“” words and inflict greater damage on media literacy, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical confrontation even in “advanced” countries.

Ah, this takes me back to that time I found a meme with this template here on Lemmy and 9/10 comments interpreted it as OP unironically arguing that whatever_it_was_instead_of_math_idr was a farce

The human body evolved for resilience: having a large number of bones provides redundancy, meaning that we can break many bones and still have at least one to spare.

It’s also partially a vestigial trait, as our ancestors needed to do a lot of boning in order for the species to survive - nowadays we don’t need to replenish our numbers as much.

Australians serve food on flat landscapes? D:

In USA metropoles during rush hours, maybe.

For people where >3 out of 4 stop sign encounters are uncontested, the feature is idiotic because not only it slightly wears out the starter, but shutting the engine off and immediately turning it on burns more fuel than letting it spin for those 0.5 extra seconds worth of power, and I doubt the catalytic converter feels that little difference.

Granted, I regularly see a few cars idling while their driver/passenger is buying cigarettes and it drives me nuts, but that has little to do with the start-stop system itself (and that *little* involves them disabling it).

At this point my muscle memory simply toggles it off as soon as the engine is on, occasionally I even manage to predict when I have to stop for more than 5 seconds and turn it on in time.

It seems unnecessary, they could just have its user-set switch as one of those factors rather than forgetting everything upon disablng it.
