Actually I think a LOT of people who like what is happening think that the US democracy is at risk, and what is happening now is the solution to that risk, which absolutely sucks.
I think it’s forced perspective. They look like they’re nearly a foot away from the edge of the table or so.
I’m very happy for Rod.
The comic references the way Superman seems to rewind time at the end of the 1978 Christopher Reeve movie. In the the film, Superman flies fairly high above the earth, accelerating faster and faster until he travels back in time. The way this is depicted shows the earth’s rotation slowing down, and eventually rotating backwards. A common misconception of the movie is that he is making the earth rotate backwards - he is not, he is just himself accelerating to faster than light speeds high above the atmosphere.
Blech! Ew! Sheesh. I’ll take a crab juice.
It will never not be funny that Bob Dole outlived Norm.

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•The only Nobel Peace Prize winner to bomb another winner
21·2 months agoNo way, he’s gotta at least be the second. Kissinger won a nobel prize, and so did the red cross, and you can’t tell me Kissinger never bombed the red cross.
So about the size of my bathroom trash can, or the size of my mother-in-law’s corgi, then.
Soda is generally sold in 2L bottles here, with single liter bottles growing in popularity. Alcohol is usually sold by the ml, though in units like “fifth” and “handle.”
Milk though, milk is sold in half-pints (not sure why they don’t write cup), pints, quarts, half-gallon, or gallon. I like to pretend a quart is a shrinkflated liter though.
This made me sad and now my day is ruined.

Lemmy Shitpost•It's tax season and my parents don't really feel like paying this... Alright Lemmy, what should they do? 👀
8·3 months agoAre they able to itemize and take a larger deduction due to the increase in SALT limits? And all of the information entered is correct, and the amount owed matched what, e.g. a calculator like Smart Asset says?
Err, I mean, have they tried claiming that you are 7 people, your sister is a clergymen, and your brother was wounded in Vietnam?
I had to take an ethics class for my CS degree. I mostly trolled the professor.
That’s the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
I’d probably convince her to register x.com and create a payment platform on it. I feel like if that one guy never did that the world would be a better place.

Technology•Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable companyEnglish
97·4 months agoMy prior city ran a survey on whether they should build out fiber to the homes around the city, since they were building their own fiber infrastructure anyway. Despite the city saying it would be cheaper and faster than the existing 0 or 1 options people had, my fellow residents cried communism and the city government scrapped the idea. Infuriating.
Fun? fact, Hitler supposedly had a portrait of Henry Ford behind his desk!















There are some cheap wifi cards that have sketchy drivers that aren’t automatically installed, and my gigabyte motherboard only came with drivers for Windows 11 for its on-board WiFi, so while windows usually gets the drivers fine there are not-even-that-obscure situations where it just absolutely does not.
