  • Republicans shut down House floor to avoid Epstein vote

    Jump

  • My understanding: back when the population was small enough for this government to be actually representative, the idea was that legislators would go home to wherever they were elected from and be among the people who elected them so they could still represent their desires. Why it happens now? Tradition, I guess.

  • Since we're doing magic eyes now...

    Jump

  • Thank you so much! This is so much easier for me.

    I wasn't going to complain or anything, but this post made me realize that I'm actually incapable of viewing cross-eyed. It actually hurt my eye sockets to try.

  • Thanks for sharing! My wife tried to describe the OP image as "advertising absurdism," but I definitely think that label applies better to your link.

  • Anybody know of a proper term for this kind of humor? Where it's themed as advertising but subverts the purpose of advertising?

    It reminds me of this: https://youtu.be/Xc_kFFmDZME

    I think it's my favorite kind of humor and I want more.

  • Who here cries at TV shows or movies?

    Jump

  • The film Click always makes me cry. You know, the comedy where Adam Sandler has a magic tv remote? I'm not gonna go into too much detail on which scene; spoiler tags don't seem to work on my Lemmy reader, so I won't know if I'm doing it right. I'm just going to say it's the scene where he has an important message to deliver to his son. Gets me every time.

  • Why do smokers specifically seem to be disproportionally bad for littering?

    Jump

  • Smokeless tobacco placed under the lip for the nicotine to be absorbed by the gums. If you're familiar with dipping tobacco ("dip"), it's the same concept, but the tobacco is processed differently and is usually in little teabag-like pouches for convenience.

  • For something that old, you should try Q4OS. It's a Debian-based distro like Mint, but it's designed for stability while using the absolute minimum resources.

    I recently installed it on a gateway laptop that's at least 20 years old. I didn't try streaming video or anything, but just opening the browser and looking at wikis was a perfectly normal experience. I dare say that laptop is working better now than when it had Windows XP.

  • Palworld maker vows to fight Nintendo lawsuit on behalf of fans and indie developers

    Jump

  • It's not for copyright infringement, it's for patent infringement. Apparently when they made Legends Arceus, Nintendo patented the idea of pointing the camera at a monster and throwing stuff at it.

  • Navy officer lost job for secretly installing internet on warship to check social media

    Jump

  • I think you meant "morale" instead of "moral."

  • Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

    Jump

  • My understanding is that admins already have access to see who votes. This feature is to make then visible to everyone.

  • Target will only sell Pride Month collection in some stores after backlash in 2023

    Jump

  • Yeah, but the LGBTQ people in those areas probably wouldn't buy that stuff either for fear of being outed and ostracized.

  • Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter

    Jump

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but on PS5 you'll need to send individual images to a friend, to be able to download them from your chat session on the mobile app.

    That's the way on PS4. PS5 automatically sends all photo and video captures to the PS app on your phone. They disappear after 14 days, so if you don't save them within two weeks, then you have to get them with chat posts like PS4.
