Armed to deter cops
  • Cops much prefer to beat up their unarmed wife than an armed group.

  • me_irl
  • A purse?!

  • Since America is bringing back kings what other kind of stuff is on your medieval wishlist?
  • The stockade is something we desperately need. Some people need to learn how other people see them. Driving 50mph in a living area, stockade. Making a lot of noise at 6 in the morning, believe it or not, stockade. Being a racist cunt, straight to the stockade.

  • [from [email protected]] Spain - Adults who want to enter porn websites must have a 'digital card' with 30 accesses valid for 30 days
  • I don't use this term often, but which smoothbrain thought of this? 30 tokens per month (so, 30 individual visits per month, never mind if you can't find what you're looking for on that particular site or just plain want to see it more often), and then only 3 visits per site. I'm sorry, what? Did someone in that panel own a bunch of unknown porn sites or something?

  • Ladybird, a truly independent web browser.
  • Meanwhile on their website:

    Chris Wanstrath (Secretary & Treasurer)

  • Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative
  • Funny how in the video the guy say that all other browsers are based on Google's code. But Firefox is also independent right?

  • Highlander reboot, starring Henry Cavill in the lead role, the movie is set to start filming in early 2025.
  • Oh I didnt even hear anything about that. But if I trust anyone with that IP it would be Cavill.

  • We coulda had Bernie...
  • They're revering to the genocide in Gaza.

  • It's rare that I have to do it now.
  • Rubbing damp hands over wrinkled shirt.

    Well, that's ironed enough.

  • The Peace Corps released this warning for black people volunteering in Ukraine
  • American culture is interwoven with the black slavery history, most of the rest of the world is not. So no, they don't have that baggage when it comes to black face or the like. Like you don't understand the Indian caste system, for example.

    Making them out as racists is stupid if you stop to think about it and not just give kneejerk reactions. Not everyone is as obsessed with race like Americans.

  • exponential growth of wolverines
  • Wolverine is difficult because of his (unnatural) metal skeleton. So whatever is attached to the skeleton will regenerate. If you slice of the tip of his finger it will just die and he'll grow a new finger, but if all that's left is a tip of the finger clinging to the skeleton he'll regenerate.

  • [Gamers Nexus] "Google is Getting Worse," ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs
  • It's not even that their results suck, per se, but they straight up ignore most of my search query and focus on one or two words only. Obviously that makes your search results suck.

  • Think of the children!
  • Divide them into the ones thinking poor people also deserve to be healthy and...?

  • China's state subsidies in green technologies significantly higher than those in EU and OECD countries, distorting competition, researchers say
  • What the fuck is this bullshit article? China gives subsidies for green tech? GOOD! And then they want the EU to stop is? See, this is why we can't have nice things. When we lay parched on our barren sun baked fields this is who we can thank.

  • Balanced lethal systems
  • Ah this actually cleared things up for me. Yellow coat is probably more evolutionary beneficial, and then even if a quarter of the young die its no big deal, just lay more eggs or whatever.

  • Grass is Greener
  • Wait, clover is a legume? How tiny are their peas?

  • TIL about Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment considered by some to be an "information hazard" - a concept or idea that can cause you harm by you simply knowing/understanding it
  • So, capitalism? If you don't participate you're screwed (tortured via poverty). So you have to work on the system: working for money, buying from companies (advancing the system), continuing the trend to make poor people suffer.

    Of course the only difference is ignorance of capitalism doesn't make you safe from it. Although you can argue that societies that don't know about capitalism (at all, so no money) have no poverty.

  • At least 1,300 hajj pilgrims died during extreme heat, Saudi Arabia says
  • Dying in Mecca is also an honour, so I wouldn't be surprise is a lot of these deaths are because of pre-existing conditions, worsened by the heat.

  • A cool guide to sushi etiquette
  • Unless you hand me a soy sauce pipette i'll just dip the rice part in the soy sauce, thank you very much.

    And wtf is tiny tiny rice?

  • 10/10 kids books.
  • Good Omens (the book, by Gaiman and Pratchett) is also hilarious.

  • Does anyone know what jellyfish this is? I saw it at the beach in Thailand.

    Saw quite a lot of them in around 2m deep water. Looks like Phyllorhiza punctata but then with reversed colours. About 15cm long. Didn't seem very dangerous, as in I saw no one screaming in agony.

    Not my picture, but the only one I could find.
