Is this from something or do you just wander through life dropping awesome prose like this?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.
2·7 months agoYou make it sound like they live on the moon. While there might be no easy “law abiding” way to get to them, this doesn’t exactly sound like a law abiding conversation.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Uncircumcised penis owners, did you ever wish you were circumcised?
20·10 months agoI’m 42 and uncircumcised, born and raised in America. My entire life the total sum of what it’s amounted to from locker rooms to relationships is pretty close to “huh, ok then”. I can’t promise it will be the same for your son but it’s been a total non-issue in my life.
But people are more than 7" thick. It depends on how you interpret it I guess, I read it as moving 7" in any direction which means you’ll still overlap with your own body, but if you read it as there being a 7" gap between where you were and where you are now then it would work.

Technology@lemmy.world•All four major web browsers are about to lose 80% of their funding | by Dan Fabulich | Apr, 2025English
4·1 year agoI remember a lot of similar arguments about how ubiquitous Flash was when mobile devices were first taking off. Not saying it will be easy or even likely not saying it will never happen is a bit of an assumption.

People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Trump wanted to break his own record
6·1 year agoThis is dead on. I really have no idea how to deprogram even one person who thinks like this, let alone millions…
I’ve used both for work and I’m having a hard time understanding what you could possibly find better about SharePoint. It’s consistently the most frustrating sharing and navigation experience I’ve ever had to endure.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ultimate Steampunk. Canadian steam powered fusionEnglish
5·1 year agoThere’s actually a company called Helion which is trying to skip the steam turbine step completely with fusion energy. Although generally speaking you’re correct, they’re kind of the exception that proves the rule.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was so much larger than Valve, but Prime Gaming's former VP admits that 'gamers already had the solution to their problems'English
7·1 year agoOr they stop trying to lock people in with exclusive games and instead attempt to actually compete by the quality of the service. I know it will never happen but I can dream.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•The Cyberpunk sequel should stay in Night City
21·2 years agoIt’s possible that I’m also hoping that the sequel won’t take a decade to release if they’re able to reuse most of Night City from the fist game.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•The Cyberpunk sequel should stay in Night City
41·2 years agoYeah, I know what it’s based on, and I think you’re probably right that most of the setting in the original tabletop game takes place in Night City, but I don’t know if that means that CDPR will follow that lead or not you know? Obviously I hope they do but currently no one outside of that company has any idea what the plan is as far as I know so all I can do is hope.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much of a game changer was USB-C for you, compared to other cables?
3·2 years agoI find the plastic floss picks work really well because they are flatter than regular tooth picks. It has to be the type where the back part is a pick as that’s the part that I use.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you registered to donate your organs? Why or why not?
91·2 years agoAs the great Frank Reynolds once said “Fill me up with cream, turn me into a cannoli, make a stew out of my ass. What’s the big deal? Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a shit? Ya dead, ya dead.”
Ok, call it whatever you want, I’m not really into labels. For context I believe in universal basic income, socialized healthcare, prison as a tool for rehabilitation instead of punishment, strong government regulations for corporations, high speed Internet access as a state run utility, and a bunch of other stuff that I don’t feel like listing out.
Anecdotally this hasn’t been true for me. I spent my 20s barely getting by. In my 30s and early 40s I’ve had a series of lucky breaks that have enabled me to move into a much higher paying job resulting in luxuries like home ownership, retirement money etc. and if anything I’ve become more liberal.
I also don’t have or want children so maybe that factors in?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•1st time house buyer, potentially serious structural issues found... anyone have advice re negotiating price reduction / if I should pull out?
6·3 years agoThis is in the US so your experience obviously may differ but we recently bought a house that needed a completely new roof. We actually had to back out of the deal once because the seller refused to pay any portion of the roof. It took the house sitting on the market for another 3 months before they finally agreed to cover just half the cost of a new roof and at that point we were tired of looking and just wanted a house so we accepted the offer. Our new roof looks great and we’re happy with the house but paying for half of a roof was an expensive add-on to the purchase for sure.



Nice! Don’t see nearly enough Venture Bro’s references out in the world
