I wonder if they would reuse the scraps similar to how Lego reuses defective bricks

Maybe it has to do with how the card is setup. For example if the phone believes it’s a portable device versus something for internal storage it might not provide the option in case someone encrypts the card not realizing they will need decryption software on other devices they want to use it on.

I believe they are sold in the same size box as any other soap so I don’t think transportation would really matter.

Yeah. “Dairy products” and ice cream is an example I feel like more people are aware of.

That was what I was getting at. From what I’ve read online Dove’s use of synthetic detergent and claims of moisturizing are reasons why it can’t be labelled as soap under the FDA

Thanks for the reply.

Why isn’t more soap oval? Economics. It’s far more expensive to mold mass-market soap in round shapes. It’s dramatically cheaper to make it square.

Would it really be that expensive?

From my understanding soap is usually pushed into some kind of oval plate to be trimmed before being pushed again into a press that shapes and stamps it simultaneously. If a company already needed a custom mold for a stamped label would the shape make much of a difference? Other than that I think the only alteration would be the plate the soap is pushed through. At a large scale the expenses related to not being able to use more common parts might add up I guess.

This does make me wonder how diverse large scale soap manufacturing equipment is. Maybe there is an industry-standard bar of soap and I’ve never noticed how similar different bars of soap are in shape to each other.

Kind of a neat concept.

Reminds me of projects that use open source engine recreations to create their own standalone games.

For example the dhwem3 (Doom 3) standalone game Rivensin.

I think they are separate and different enough to be enjoyed individually

Upvotes are meaningless on Lemmy and there’s usually duplicate communities hosted on different instances.

Why don’t you just join Exploding Heads and get it over with Tesla licker?

Linkin Park’s In the End but the MIDI version

It reminds me a bit of Garmin acquiring Pebble and discontinuing support. This does sound significantly worse though

It’s because right wing trolling is a lot of telling people they shouldn’t exist for matters beyond their control and left wing trolling is laughing about how dumb and absurd that mindset is.

OP is expecting the deletion of posts and comments to federate in the same ways posting them would. I don’t think they’re necessarily going scorched earth and care about someone quoting their comment in a reply or resharing a photo.

I think that’s a bit grandiose of a stance. If I misread what someone said or realized someone already said what I did I don’t think deleting it leads to any kind of growth.

That’s setting aside how draining it can be to reply to several people who are making the same argument about how you are wrong. If I couldn’t delete what I posted at that point I would just be creating a slew of edits to justify myself like people regularly do on Reddit whenever they get downvoted.

I’d be interested to hear what you think and if you felt it was a fair comparison.

What didn’t you like about it?

It’s not a movie I’ll likely watch several times like I have with Annihilation but I thought it was good and had memorable moments. That’s a lot more than I can say about other movies I’ve watched recently.

But that’s not what is being talked about. I don’t think OP is expecting an all or nothing situation. You’re talking like you’ve never deleted anything online

But deleting stuff is an easy way to limit the amount of potential viewers.

Most people aren’t going to put in the effort. If OP’s account deletion spreads across most of Lemmy, even just the larger instances, most people aren’t going to see their older posts.

That seems to be what OP is after. More in line with hiding poorly written Doctor Who fan fiction than hiding from the government in the woods.

Don’t you think that’s shifting the goalpost a bit? OP isn’t talking about something being archived they’re talking about a piece of content on social media still directly linking to that username.

Deleting things in as many places as possible making it harder to access is still a net positive.

It’s about as much of a part or mechanic of Lemmy as posting is.

No I have not. I’ve spent a lot of time browsing the help pages and pretty much every suggestion is the same and when it proves fruitless and the poster and several other people mention the issue still persists they don’t respond.

It probably isn’t for everyone. I do the same exercises every day so watching action movies like Heat or grindhouse movies like Dragged Across Concrete can help break up the monotony and I end up doing more reps. I haven’t really noticed it effecting my form anymore than listening to a podcast would.

I am American so I can’t really answer but what would count as American social media?

I feel like it would be most large social network sites and an unpredictable amount of smaller ones
