They never said otherwise. They’re just talking about a relatively recent cultural shift towards blocking people for no real reason

Frell yeah

Someone else said Friends, so I think Penny Dreadful counts

Haibane Renmei. For a show that’s 23 years old with only 13 episodes, I manage to hear new and unique opinions about it like once a week

It’s a perfect anime for people who like anime, but not, like, anime anime. No fight scenes, no sci-fi, no spellcasting, just a girl with amnesia trying to get used to the strange walled town she recently woke up in. There are not enough superlatives to describe how much I love this show

I literally can’t imagine a box that makes things cold being made cooler by having a screen on it

It’s a fucking box that makes things cold. Humanity is cooked if we can’t bring ourselves to look away from a screen for all the time it takes to get a slice of cheese out of the fridge

Mac and choc

Counterpoint: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wet

Made up of liquid or moisture, usually (but not always) water.

Water is wet and I’m tired of people arguing about it. Wet literally means “covered in or consisting of liquid,” and yet everyone seems to think water can’t be wet just because it also makes other things wet, which it does but that doesn’t mean it isn’t itself wet

Authleft, it’s communism

Lemmy is generally a lot more lax than other social media sites. As long as you aren’t doxxing anyone you should be fine

Just a regular platypus.

PERRY THE PLATYPUS!?

My understanding is that they use something like polarizing filters. Both slits have the same filter, they make a diffusion pattern as the waves interfere with each other. Both slits have different filters, there’s no wave interference and you get two lines.

Calling it an “observer” is maybe the most damaging name in the sciences since some douchebag decided to call the orthoganal number line “imaginary”

Me when I engage in em-dashes, rules of three, and promotional language — it expertly sets off sensitive AI language generation detection methods, cleverly appearing to other users that I’m using a Large Language Model myself.

Pirat gave me an egg emoji, so I baked some more cupcake emojis. Have one for getting it so close without even using a calculator 🧁

You got as far as nanoseconds so here’s a cupcake for extra credit too 🧁

The other day I saw someone ask ChatGPT how long it would take to perform 1.5 million instances of a given task, if each instance took one minute. Mfs cannot even divide 1.5 million minutes by 60 to get get 25,000 hours, then by 24 to get 1,041 days. Pretty soon these people will be incapable of writing a full sentence without ChatGPT’s input

Edit to add: divide by 365.25 to get 2.85 years. Anyone who can tell me how many months that is without asking an LLM gets a free cookie emoji

Fuck sweet summer child
