Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could see one statistic above every person's head, that is updated in real time and never goes away, what would you choose?
191·2 months agoSimilar to some other answers here, but “number of times they’ve deliberately lied”. Not only do you get an instant “trustworthiness” stat, you also get to know if they’re lying to you right now.
I remember being SO. INTO. Hot Topic when I was like, 13.
Then when I was like 15, figuring out that this is exactly what Hot Topic was. Early lessons in how the world works… 😖
It’s what Ms. Hannigan drinks when she’s singing “little girls” in Annie. At the end of the song she literally pours a bunch of it in the bathtub and is swimming around in it.

Funny@sh.itjust.works•Never been an art fan in my life. This street art makes me emotionalEnglish
47·5 months agoMaybe I’m just drunk and missing something, but… Why is this in Funny?
Is it just that whoever wrote the text at the top is a little bit cringe? Is it that the art itself is, I dunno, derivative? Is it something to do with the actual stop sign? I’m lost…

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an online service you happily pay for?
6·6 months agoMealime.
Meal planning app. Has a database of hundreds of easy to make, healthy, tasty recipes. Tell it how many people you want to cook for, for how many days. It builds a whole meal plan, adjusts the quantities of all the recipies, builds a shopping list for you, and will even forward the list to Instacart for you if you’re into that.
It also builds the meal plan based on reducing food waste, so if you have one recipe that uses half an onion, it will automatically find another recipe that uses the other half. You can also define ingredients you don’t like/allergic to and it will avoid recipes that use those.
MASSIVELY increased the amount of at-home cooking I do by getting rid of all the boring/annoying parts. Kinda like Blue Apron, but you just go buy your own groceries. Best $2 a month I spend.

pics@lemmy.world•Brass piranha plants belching flames in Portland, OR.
4·7 months agoGreetings fellow Portlandian! I was at WLF last night too! Such a great atmosphere!
Years ago I got to visit the perfume lab at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, where students learn about making perfumes.
It was kinda like this! They had rows and rows of little bottles all filled with concentrated oils of different aromas. Probably the weirdest one I remember is “money”. I cracked it open, and sure enough, it smelled just like a stack of well used bills.
Was a really cool experience. Maybe see if there’s a perfumer anywhere near you who would let you come explore their lab?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?
18·1 year agoThe live action Chip N’ Dale Rescue Rangers remake on Disney+ is SOOOOOO much better than it has any right to be.
It should be terrible, unwatchable, irredeemable garbage.
It is probably one of the best “kids” movies I’ve seen in the last decade.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump lawyers tell Supreme Court that Constitution doesn’t apply to the president
2·1 year agoI agree with everything you said. You CAN draw a logical line from what Trump’s lawyers are saying to the conclusion that “Trump lawyers tell Supreme Court that Constitution doesn’t apply to the president.” That statement and conclusion is not, technically, factually, incorrect.
However, I do feel like using that statement as a headline strips away all the context and nuance, leaving nothing behind but rage-inductive click-bait. That headline gives no meaningful information, and if someone takes it as literal truth, without reading the rest of the story, they will be massively uninformed about what’s actually going on. It’s a disservice to the reader.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump lawyers tell Supreme Court that Constitution doesn’t apply to the president
191·1 year agoI’m just as frustrated and horrified by what’s going on as everyone else, but this headline is SUCH a stretch. Like, 98% click bait, 2% kinda-sorta truth. PLEASE read the actual article and not just the headline.
This story is about a specific legal mechanism (universal injunction) that has been used by federal judges in dozens of cases throughout decades. It’s a controversial mechanism that has been used on both sides of the political spectrum. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. It’s currently being used to pause some of Trump’s worst bullshit.
Trump’s lawyers are arguing that this very specific mechanism shouldn’t be permitted in current cases regarding immigration. They’ve also argued that this particular mechanism is unconstitutional. His lawyers are wrong, and shitty, but they are in no way arguing that “the constitution doesn’t apply to the president.”

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Encryption backdoor debate 'done and dusted'English
46·2 years agoImportant to note the “done and dusted” quote in the headline of this article (and most of the rest of the “content”) isn’t from anyone at any government agency. It comes from a guy who runs a “data encryption start-up” and is shilling his own product. Most of the “news” being covered here is just speculation from this one guy.
The only “reversed course” from the government, as alluded to in the article, is CISA encouraging government employees to use E2EE messaging since our telecom infrastructure is basically perma-pwn’d by the Chinese.
Government intelligence agencies would still VERY MUCH like to have backdoors in this encryption and there is nothing to indicate that has changed.
There’s… No indication of what any of the talks are about?






How insanely toxic is their poop though?
