Ancient Iran had air conditioning
  • And get it has way more upvotes than down, just like reddit.

  • Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?
  • It says something that Kevin James as president was the least believable part of that movie.

  • It's the difference between believing the pyramids were built by ancient Egyptian gods, and believing they were built by aliens. It just doesn't fit the swashbuckling source material the other Indiana Jones movies were built on. Same reason time travel didn't work as a plot device. It doesn't fit the genre.

    I know almost nothing about the Fast & Furious franchise, for instance, but I'll bet if aliens made an appearance there it would be met with scorn as well, but they have no problem doing physics-defying scenes all the time.

  • Discount American DaVinci code was fun both times.

  • I loved it and my favorite shirt in 5th grade was a Glow-In-The-Dark Godzilla shirt.

  • As someone who grew up on Archie comics, that movie NAILED the casting (except for the Cabots, who weren't really in the film much anyway).

  • The first is infinitely re-watchable even with the terrible CGI, but the second one is unwatchable.

  • George of the Jungle (43%) is still just as fun as it was when I was a kid.

    Tookie-tookie!

  • Ancient Iran had air conditioning
  • That's just not true, a modern home can be at 70f or below when its 110f outside. Air comes out at 50-55 even at those outside temps.

  • Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky
  • It starts off interesting and devolves into being even more nonsensical and less rational than the original.

  • YSK: Just because something is easy for *you*, does not mean that it is *easy*.
  • This is a good thought but a bad post for YSK

  • Why are indigo and violet in the rainbow and not just purple?
  • There's a difference between linguistic simplicity and color blindness.

  • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
  • Is picking a server/federation too complicated?

    Yes, but because 90% of the fediverse is older tech nerds, good luck getting them to acknowledge it.

  • Steam likes to keep it interesting in the UI department
  • Didn't they just fix all of this mess a few weeks ago? Or did that just introduce even more inconsistencies?

  • Who misses Grooveshark ?
  • Yeah, there was a music channel where I'd hang out all day with people who I never saw again when it abruptly shut down. Sad day.

  • YSK these e-mail tips
  • Improving my work emails is 99% of what I use ChatGPT for.

  • "However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon" I've been trying to do this for ten minutes and still can't figure it out

    EDIT: Solved! Feel free to comment/message me if you're having the same issue and I'll be happy to help.

    Supposedly I can subscribe to stuff from *fediverse accounts on other instances, in fact it's one of the main selling points of the fediverse, but I can't for the life of me figure out how.

    "You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: "

    Except nothing ever shows up in any search, either in community searches or the top search bar. It doesn't even look like it's trying to search. I also can't find a place to just paste what specific instance sub I want to sub to.

    Does this just not work or am I missing something obvious?

    EDIT: Here's a screenshot https://imgur.com/04FfhiC

    EDIT2: I DID IT! So my error was following the instructions to "paste the following into the search engine of your instance" [email protected]. What I ACTUALLY needed to do was just search for syncforlemmy in 'All'.

    Also, I can just use the URL field to navigate to a page that has a subscribe button, like this: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] I still have no clue what [email protected] does and why I'm instructed to use it 🤷
