Well, “Snakes in pants” doesn’t have the same ring to it, but it’s now more real than the movie!

Hey dude, I’ve been looking for you for so long, since my Dad stole your bike and that was a turning point in my life, since I made a point of stealing your son’s bike.
It is said that this will continue for generations until the seventh son of a seventh son, who’ll transform into an upside down toothless vampire who likes garlic.
In order for this prophecy to come true, please ensure all your progeny keeps buying bikes.
PS Welcome to Lemmy!
You’re certainly right about observing this incongruity. It’s probably one statement that feels so obviously correct that people upvote it without even bothering to read the article.
What is the sound of one banana clapping?
Zatoichi approves.
I stopped using Windows in 2008 (juggling between a mixture of Linux and Mac OS). One of the reasons, is that at that time I thought Windows was legitimately a mess.
Over time, I thought it got a bit better when seeing it on friends’s computers.
Due to laziness, Windows 11 got installed on my office computer (which I use 1% of my time) and I thought it was honestly pretty good (as in, I never thought about switching back, but it was fine to use it when necessary).
Now that they plug in ads, I’ll certainly want to switch back /s
Very recently I started noticing that if you search anything on YouTube you don’t find what you need at all unless you add many keywords and even then, the site only gives you one coherent answer and tons of garbage you don’t need.
Mostly because, instead of giving you videos on the full set of keywords you use, it gives the first video which is based on all of them, and all subsequent videos based on just a single of such keywords, so mainly you get a lot of crap from influencers or such.
Has anyone else experienced this and knows if there is a way around it?
Ah, wow. So some exams are happening online, even though classes are in person! There goes a combination I had not thought about. It is annoying to still need Respondus though, even if I understand why
Interesting (and annoying). I imagined that most exams went back to the usual pen and paper or laboratory, but there were tests written on laptops and in class long before the pandemic. I had forgotten about those!
You’re our hero!
How do you stay in a community, but filter content you don’t want through keywords?
Is it still being implemented? This awesome article is from 2022.
I just tried to look for newer hits, but I keep getting articles from 2022 (though several from Nature)
Wait, are universities still using Respondus?
I feel for you. It was used a lot during the beginning of the pandemic, but I thought it was dropped by now.
I apologize if I haven’t seen it in another comment, but there is a category missing (sort of, let me quickly explain).
I like reading books from my phone with a dark theme (inverted colors). It’s not exactly an e-reader, though it is electronic.
I don’t claim it’s the best way, it’s just very convenient because of (former Reddit)/(now Lemmy) addiction to using my phone to read about cool stuff.
It’s particularly handy before sleeping or when commuting
Edit: added last sentence
Wow, this is really how it happened?!? Unbelievable. Well done Spez, all your creativity shines every day…
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to see that!

This is tragic.
While the Wikipedia page lists food poisonings from sea turtles as rare, it still feels like a Russian Roulette kind of meal.
Would you eat something knowing that there is a nonzero chance it might kill you (as in really off you, not just give you a bad night at the bathroom)?
I suppose the answer is a lot of people would, since the article itself mentioned another recent poisoning.
It reminds me of the blowfish which is also lethally poisonous if not handled by someone who’s certified to do so.
I suppose everything in life has a risk and I’ve done my share of reckless things, but rolling the dice on food never appealed to me.

Well, I would like to think that this will get some more Redditors to become Lemmings, but I don’t have high hopes. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a significant migration during the APIcalypse, so I don’t see that happening now.
Off topic but related: you guys just broke the whole super hero concept for me. Now I can’t go back to reading comics or watching movies ignoring all of these things. I suppose I am happy to be my normal me (though perhaps super strength isn’t so bad)!
This link has been posted and discussed on Reddit too.
Of course, we shouldn’t care about what people on Reddit think (and I noticed this post by chance since I log on there very rarely now), but some users in the thread genuinely ask about joining Lemmy and so I guess it’s useful to know about possible obstacles to trying it that they may perceive.
This time is as good as any to cite Maroon 5’s “payphone” and link to its gloriously dumb video, which I contend being in the top 10 dumbest videos ever (I don’t want to claim it’s got the top spot, since maybe there are other gems I am ignoring)
