I don’t think you understand. The faction taking over won’t stop with the US. They want unfettered power. They’re well aware American military might exceeds the rest of the world combined by tenfold and will eventually use it to intimidate or destroy anyone in their way, after subjugating our own citizenry of course.

Yeah but like any successful politician he’ll readily compromise his principles in order to hold onto power.

You could maybe just share a meme like this one.

Some folks in the comments there share actual LLM results, a few of which are sensible but plenty that aren’t far off from the joke.

BuzzKill is great for wrangling your notifications. Match a word or phrase and group them, snooze them, set special vibration patterns, whatever.

GO. TO. THE MIM! it’s the Musical Instrument Museum. It’s huge, it’s incredibly well organized and informative, and it’s fun for anybody (unless you kick puppies and have no soul).

Their collection is crazy impressive and spans the whole world and pretty much all time. I never knew how many cultures had bagpipes and accordions. Or how many weird types of horns were even possible.

Yep this seems even more blurry and pixelated than the last 3 times I saw it haha

I imagine people resharing memes (long before OP here) take a photo of their monitor with a potato phone and then reupload that after resizing it with some shitty Motorola app or whatever first. Do that 3-4x and soon it’s a mess.

Happy to help. Finally, spending too much time on the Internet has paid off, huzzah!

When it’s not lazy or technical (as others said) i think it’s sometimes used when the post itself is entirely self-explanatory or self-contained in some way, and having a title in addition would detract from it. Like when the entire joke setup and punchline all belong in the body text, and any title would spoil it.

TIL I’m a grandma.

I wish I was as brave and well-spoken as this young man.

When I was 17-18 I scored really well on a test and the US Air Force tried to recruit me. It was tempting because I was fascinated with aerospace and it would have kickstarted my career and possibly meant no student loans. I’d easily be $100k better off today if I went down that path.

But I couldn’t imagine myself dropping bombs on potentially innocent people at the behest of some smug politician, or even loading ordinance for someone else to do it. The thought made me sick to my stomach. So I figured out my own path. But that was easy for me, because there was no major conflict at the time, no one threatening me with jail, and no social repercussions from that decision. I have to wonder if I would have made the same decision if it was under Tal Mitnick’s conditions.

I believe that resolves the same as

ain’t!(!untrue)

That’s clearly a hamster.

For real though, H. Keller was actually pretty badass as a prolific author, orator, and political activist. That’s what people should actually remember her for. I was disappointed that school never taught me that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller

Lots of people are mentioning old electric car lighters, but not why things burn. The answer is the fire triangle, which just means you need 3 factors: fuel, oxidizer, and heat. Oxygen is obviously the most common oxidizer (hence the name) and basically everywhere in the atmosphere. And any substance that undergoes a sufficiently exothermic reaction will produce enough heat to propagate that oxidation as a chain reaction (i.e. fire) once enough heat is present to start it.

Not all fuels are equal. Ones that burn slowly will smoulder, while the ones that burn extremely fast explode. Too many unintended and destructive fires occur because people don’t realize when fuel sources are susceptible to heat (even a tiny spark), such as dust in a grain silo, a pile of oily rags, or even a compost heap (which builds up heat due to bacteria breaking down the contents).

But yes, back to the point, lighters just need to create heat because presumably you already have fuel and oxygen available.

As I recall there’s not much left of that temple to dispute.

I don’t know how to steal an entire horse. But if you praise one, bring it snacks, take it for long walks on the beach, maybe read it some French poetry under the autumn moonlight… well you might steal its heart.

This video from PBS Space Time is a good summary of the current state of science on this topic. https://youtu.be/z-syaCoqkZA?si=nRK78T_FAD5By-f0

The “Many Worlds” interpretation of quantum mechanics proposes that there are other universes separate from our own, perhaps even an incredible number of them if there’s one for every quantum interaction.

It’s consistent with our mathematical understanding of reality. But scientifically, it’s still an open question on whether the hypothesis is testable or whether those other potential universes will ever be observable. https://youtu.be/z-syaCoqkZA?si=5_KJB2rcscjhD9_e

That’s a philosophical answer, not a scientific one.

I’m sad there was no “zero” option for “exasperated by the abject stupidity”. I don’t expect most people to know much chemistry, but you don’t even need to pass middle school to understand that H2 + O does not equal NaCl.

Oof, good one.
