It’s not called maple syrup if it’s not real maple syrup. They’ll call it maple flavored syrup, pancake syrup, but never maple syrup.

A republican being anti-Fox News? That’s a bold strategy.

Because “the markets open at 9” is an international standard that everyone can count on. You could stagger it so that one country’s market opens at 10, then another at 12, and so on, but then what if one country chooses a different standard? What if a restaurant picks a different convention than businesses in one area? Time zones are great because once you understand them, you’ll always know how time works locally, anywhere in the world with a single piece of information, it’s a truly successful standard.

No one on LinkedIn has a real job, they’re all just bragging about being self-employed or paid to post there to “generate positive public opinion on 50 hour work weeks”.

Kinda wild how a web pages still take several seconds to load. I remember first hearing about multi-megabyte per second internet and assumed pages will load instantly. Now a webpage is so large it takes compiled languages several seconds to parse them.

He doesn’t have to be a homosapien, he could be a corporation instead!

Ummm…Windows 11 was way more of a KDE ripoff than a gnome ripoff.

The number of combat defeats of the F-18 is somewhere in the single digits, so you gotta take what you can get.

I’m far less worried about the imminent supply shock to the economy and far more worried about the long term damage to things like the FDA. We’ve decided we’re going to try to go from ~10% vegetarian to closer to 80% or 100% because I simply don’t trust that thing like meat and milk can stay safe to consume. I do have a solid amount of food in my house, and if shelves start emptying I think I’ll be okay for a bit, but that’ll pass. I can’t really leave this country, so I need to be planning for longer term problems too.

Python does not need to be compiled, have you ever used it?

Can you please articulate why Python and Bash are so different in your eyes?

They’re in the middle of a board election, all members get a vote. The union endorses none of the nominees, and suggests you vote for “none of the above”.

“If you don’t make news for the weekend, then the news agencies will, and we haven’t outlawed free press yet”

This fills me with an overwhelming feeling of societal instability.

There was a big mystery from the beginning, they all died in the plane crash, and they were building an afterlife where they were all together. They did reveal it gradually, with a mounting number of conflicting facts.

Battlestar Galactica also had an overarching plan, that they would end up on Earth and restart the cycle.

Ridley Scott is famous for his shit opinions. When he released The Last Duel in the middle of COVID, he complained that “them kids can’t even get off their phone for 2 hours to enjoy art” as thr primary reason it wasn’t making money.

Early in the mobile gaming world, it was looking like mobile games would catch up with consoles within a few years, but then Angry Birds made more money than anyone ever imagined with half thr effort, and then Clash of Clans did the same thing again, and suddenly the idea of working hard and making a good mobile game seemed like a silly waste of time.

It’s kind of a funny thing, I don’t think I can miss the super bowl. I used to play football at lunch in middle school, and loved watching and following it then. Once I learned about concussions, I pretty much stopped watching. Not a huge fan of the halftime shows lately, and the ads have definitely gotten worse. The thing is the super bowl is just a great time to go out and hang out with friends, so I’m going to watch it every year for a while.

You know what I’m really against? People asking leading questions in asklemmy.

Something this graph doesn’t include is there was way more content. Everyone put their stuff on Netflix, and it wasn’t a revolving door of awful Netflix originals.
