Alright, alright, the shurethra if you want to get technical

Relevant xkcd, you were warned about this at least a decade ago

Yep, turns out when your tinkering around in someone’s brain it’s good to make sure you’re not breaking the thing they like doing

No such thing as bad press, eh?

From what I’ve heard there’s a serious need to be able to see past tiny censor bars in Japanese media, maybe this explains it

Gives any what? Sorry I can’t read that heavily obscured text.

Did we bring ‘pointing out comedy homicide’ over from reddit? Because a giant reaction face to point out a joke is peak that.

Mrs Melling said she took her children out of school during term due to the “unbelievable price” of holidays in the summer months.

One travel agent told the BBC that holiday costs can be as much as 40% higher during the school holidays.

“It was £5,500 to go in the summer and to go in February it was £2,500, it’s a no brainer,” Mrs Melling said.

Yes, the reason it costs more is because everyone else is following the rules

Are you referring to any news stories in particular? Because the only big one I recall recently was the xz backdoor which took three years of social engineering to get in and was detected and patched within a couple of weeks!

Are you new here? “Threadiverse” has been used to refer to thread-based fediverse technologies that use threaded comments since before Zuck’s “threads” was even announced!

it’s easy to be communist of you only touched it online

This is almost certainly the case, these kids read about the ideals of communism and think it sounds great, and they know about how things are in the USA and think that’s bad. Two fair assessments, but they then deduce that the because capitalist America is bad, then Soviet Russia “communist” China must be good, ignoring the fact that every person who survived/escaped those reigemes described them as hell.

We’ve managed to cut the crazy units down to a handful just for special occasions

Quart? I’m not storing a bushel of grain to be inspected by the lord of the manor!

Seriously though I do love efficient storage containers and would happily fill the house with them.

Thanks for doodling over the letters U and C for me OP, my delicate eyes almost saw a naughty word!

Seems like a perfectly cromulent unit of measurement

I’m guessing a fifth is like a fifth of a gallon, but handles‽

gms/kg

That doesn’t look right

lb

Ugh, at least I’ve heard of that

quart

Was this chart made by a mediaeval apothecary?

cylinder

Alright, what the fuck‽

Because we’re not children whose precious eyes need shielding from the big scary word

Not sure why anyone would be interested in yet-another corporate-controlled platform

Copying my own reply to a similar question the other day: Most users don’t give a shit about the tech or politics, they just want to go where the people they are interested in are, and most of them don’t care either! Bluesky is actively promoting itself as the new old Twitter, so that’s where people who want that are going.
