This is all very horrifying when reading with the childish mindset of what “charging-port” can be an euphemism of.

I’ve had that issue in several ways. Of course what you said, had an extension cord with a switch below my desk and I kept accidentally hitting that switch in the same way, lived in an apartment some years ago that had some shitty electrical work done by the previous tenant and if I had enough lamps on while my computer and screen where on and I tried to plug in my phone or turn the TV on the circuit popped, and most recently I’ve been playing games via cloud streaming (Shadow) and my Ethernet cable has lost the security tab thingy on both ends and I keep accidentally moving other cables so they touch the Ethernet cable and it falls out. Most of the time I can just put it back in an reconnect to the cloud computer but sometimes it just refuses to do that so the cloud computer shuts down before I’m able to get it working. Lost several hours of progress in various games throughout the past couple of years, but I never buy anything new unless it’s absolutely needed so I just live with and accept it '^^

As was*

It’s the one thing I just never get used to. Everything else about seasons etc. has stopped being surprising and anything more than “oh, this is happening again”, but it never stops feeling unreal that it gets dark so damn late in the morning and early in the afternoon.

User: Add enough detergent for this weight of clothes.

Washing machine AI: OK, I have added the correct amount for you, ready to start the wash.

User: You only added fabric softener, I need you to add detergent. Please weigh the clothes and add the detergent based on that weight.

Washing machine AI: Ah, I see what you mean. I have now weighed the clothes and added the needed amount of detergent.

User: you just added more fabric softener. Do not add any more of that, I only need detergent. Please, add detergent.

Washing machine AI: I’m sorry, I misunderstood you before. I have now made sure to add detergent.

User: you added more fabric softener…

From the little I’ve seen (or more had to be exposed to) they are 100% convinced that Lemmy is like 10 people and nothing else exists. They’re so walled in, much of those walls being built by themselves.

On a vaguely related note, reddit has been so deeply shit now for long enough where it has stopped being a good source of info. It used to be such a good place to find just about any info via a search but now the results are just so fucking weird. Trying to find stuff about new-ish games, tech support, recommendations for anything etc. has become so much harder now.

This is what happens in your brain when you tell yourself to remember something.

They died after being found in the basement? Because that’s what the title says.

I thought it was incredibly weird, it just left me with “what…?” in a not good way. Gonna give the next few episodes a watch but don’t have high hopes.

That’s the thing, they keep doing shit that goes above and beyond what anyone ever dares to think. We keep saying, like you, that we’re beyond the point of expected reason but they somehow manage to outplay that.

There’s mustard gas and mustard is definitely an emotion, but I’m pretty sure those two aren’t the same.

It’s “what it looks like” or “how it looks”, never “how it looks like”. That’s as dumb as “what it looks”, which I’m sure most people understand isn’t correct.
It’s one thing to make that mistake in a random comment, but in your fucking web comic? Seriously?

Used to up until my early 20s, I very rarely buy plain white bread now and it’s not that common in stores here (Sweden). Obviously there’s two or three brands of basic white toast bread and some in store fresh white bread but we have tons of choices with so many different ingredients, and never any weird additives or bread that is as much bread as american cheese is cheese (seen those kinds abroad and from images and videos from the US).

My current two favourites are a wholegrain durum wheat sourdough with flaxseeds and sea salt and the other is a rye sourdough with wort, barley malt and a small amount of dark treacle (similar to molasses in taste). But I often try new kinds, even the smaller food stores here have like 30 different breads (not including stuff like burger and hot dog buns etc.)

I don’t think that bottom hole is for a thumb…

But not a no neither.

I live in a small apartment, and when standing in the middle of the kitchen you can see almost all of if. So when I have new people over I like to ask if they want a tour then point to that spot and tell them to go there, then I say “ok, look around, that’s everything! Nice, huh?” There are generally only two different reactions: “Haha! Yeah, it is nice!” or “Oh, come on, it’s not that bad!”. I never say it in a way that makes it sound like I think it’s bad or too small, but people who have the second reaction generally like bigger and “more”.

It’s the perfect size for me, wouldn’t choose a bigger one even for the same price.

I just thought it was a 4chan thing, while that does include nazi shit, it’s not exclusively only that. Always felt like a mascot for the really bad parts of the Internet.
