Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Fox News doc says not enough ’15 to 19′ year-olds are having kids: ‘The fertility is down’English
21·10 days agoI mean, isn’t it odd that the statistic reported uses that age range? I don’t wanna defend Fixed News for anything they do, but if the range they’re given is 15-19, and they want to say that “young adults” (18 to early 20s) birth rates are down, they have to include the 15 year olds.
It’s really strange that the data available lumps “barely old enough to be biologically capable of bringing a child to term but mentally and emotionally incapable of making their own informed decisions” into the same category as “legal adult who may have taken deliberate action to prepare and plan for a pregnancy”. I’d be curious to see how splitting the ages up to something like 14-17 and 18-21 would effect the data, and what was reported.
I genuinely want to know the thought process that leads anything resembling a representative of any kind of company to attempt to advertise their product on a hyper-niche platform that is pretty much only known for its anti-capitalist nature, specifically in the “shit posting” community.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•How can I stop Red PETG from being *too* Transparent on a Top Surface?English
2·13 days agoCan you please upload some screenshots of the model you’re printing in the slicer, and the related settings? That’s really odd behavior.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•How can I stop Red PETG from being *too* Transparent on a Top Surface?English
4·13 days agoIt isn’t an “infill” setting. It’s “top/bottom” settings. I don’t what slicer you’re using, but every slicer should give you the option to set the number of top layers and bottom layers.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•‘God, you’re hot’ Tennessee school board member says to student during board meetingEnglish
10·14 days agoThankfully, if that hard-to-get little vixen of a teenager lied about what school she goes to, he likely has the resources to look up her school and home address!

The Button@lemmy.zip•Announcing The Button: Season 2 - Easter Boogaloo (Sunday 5th April 12:00 UTC)
4·17 days agoHey, thanks for giving the 24 hour reset a try! I promise to actually press it this time…
But there’s larger channels with more success from creators who are pieces of shit.
It’s nitpicky, and it doesn’t matter in the slightest, but they’re right, the phrasing is a bit much
WHITE???
…
I’m just playin man.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•How Infill Percentage Affects Strength, Speed, and Filament UseEnglish
3·19 days agoCNC Kitchen did a video a few years ago demonstrating that infill percentage has little to no effect on part strength, provided the rest of the print (walls, floors, ceilings) has enough material to grab on to.
This is a pretty slop-py article.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the most embarrassing thing you’re willing to admit to online?
10·19 days agoI feel like 37+ is really not that strange of an age to have lost both your parents. That’s an odd reaction.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's funny the only adaptation or derivative of LOTR that I'm aware of that keeps Tom Bombadil is the outrageous parody Bored of the Rings where he's a drug-tripping hippie named Tim Benzedrine

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•I found this ancient banana under my kitchen shelves
14·19 days agoIn highschool, someone as a joke put a banana in the laptop pouch of my backpack, figuring that I’d find it later that day and wonder where it came from.
I didn’t have a laptop, and I didn’t use that pouch. It was a separate zipper, and was heavily padded, and I had no idea it was there. They forgot about it.
After a few days, I kept noticing a wet spot wherever I set my bag down. After a few weeks, the weird rotting look at the bottom of my bag was too much to ignore. I investigated, and the horrors that were at the bottom of that pouch are not the likes I’d speak here.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•How come you only see news about famous people dying, but never about them being born?
3·19 days agoOutrage sells. They don’t care about the stories that make you happy.
I personally was kinda disappointed cause my press got overridden really quickly.
While I see what you’re saying, I don’t see how having a second press that could just as easily get overridden would solve this issue. You’ll regret using your last press regardless.
Maybe, if we have more people and the timer lasts longer, it could be that your press regenerates every 24 hours?
Personally, I think only having one press makes the game a lot more fun and exciting. Even if the game lasts a shorter amount of time, knowing that this is your one click gives it a lot more meaning IMO. Even getting down to your last one wouldn’t feel the same as you’ve already had the “rush” of clicking.
Just my two cents. I had a blast in the chat, even though my time fell definitively to last place and I never used my press, lol.
