None of us are going to get to vote anymore

Maybe after 9 trillion fucking dollars they’ll realize that it’s a scam and you can’t achieve AGI let alone super intelligence by throwing infinite data at an LLM.

A buddy of mine has a PHD in Cajun Fusion. Turns out, harnessing the power of the sun is only slightly more complex than a good gumbo. Who knew?

I went to a Hotel Furniture liquidator for some new furniture. Saw a good looking office chair and they only wanted $20 for it.

Brought that bad boy home and only then did I find out that they had sold me a new Herman Miller Aeron for only $20. Completely insane.

I’d get an electric car if I could charge it easily. Right now EV ownership is coupled to home ownership and mass adoption will never happen while this is the case.

If my apartment complex installed EV chargers in our parking lot, I’d be a lot more willing to get one. I ain’t spending 8 hours a day twiddling my thumbs in a grocery store parking lot just to drive between work and home.

Don’t wash your rice for any kind of flavor reasons. Wash your rice because there might be bugs in it.

I’ll never understand the eternal hype around “flying cars”. Fuckers out here can hardly drive on a 2d road. Now you want to introduce a third axis on them?

I guarantee that if the general public gets their hands on a real “flying car”, it’ll take about 2 weeks before some drunk idiot commits a mini 9/11.

This is the answer. I’m 26 and most of my peers didn’t really use the internet beyond the occasional usage of the school library computers until Apple released the first iPhone. By that time places like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit were up and running.

That’s all their experience with the internet is. Polished experiences through dedicated apps on extremely popular platforms. Now those people have had kids and all those kids know is the same thing. It’s all apps on phones and tablets.

Lemmy: A) Is too complicated in it’s current form for those types of people to effectively understand and use.

B) Lemmy is currently emulating a type of early internet experience that only nostalgic older millennials nerds crave. General users tend to prefer bigger platforms.
