  • They're already very cheap as long as you only want two wheels and aren't fussed about having a roof.

  • Dog people vs cat people

  • Nothing wakes a cat owner faster than the sound of hyuk hyuk HYUK HYUUURK on the only piece of carpet in the house.

  • Our chemistry teacher made us memorise up to Argon with a song, that was literally just him singing the 1/2 letter names of all the elements. HHeLiBeBCNOFNe...

    It was on a poster on the wall in every lesson. It was in the textbook. It was printed on the exam papers.

    I've no idea why he tried to make us do that, and the annoying thing is I can still remember a good chunk of it 30 years later. I could have been using that chunk of my brain for something useful.

  • My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories

  • Why can't you get a good lemon meringue pie any more?

  • What fandom or community is the hardest to please?

    Jump

  • I love the idea of Star Wars, but every movie since Empire has been a toy advert.

    I feel it only really gets a chance to shine when you pull out out of its comfort zone of the Skywalker family. Rogue One, Andor, most of The Mandalorian.

  • ‘I Didn’t Vote for This’: A Revolt Against DOGE Cuts, Deep in Trump Country

    Jump

  • "I didn't vote for this" - someone who voted for this.

  • Is entertainment getting worse or am I getting old?

    Jump

  • Or indeed that if they actually looked at everything produced in the past, they'd see roughly the same garbage to gems ratio we have now.

  • China to cover all out-of-pocket childbirth expenses

    Jump

  • Especially considering the pedestal it lives on on Lemmy.

  • UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones

    Jump

  • Kier Starmer is a nevernude. Pass it on.

  • Republican lawmakers slam Trump's "inappropriate" posts on Rob Reiner

    Jump

  • In the list of things Trump has done, I doubt that would be the straw that breaks any camel's back.

    It might open a few people's eyes to the fact that he's a classless piece of shit, but I think deep down they all knew that anyway.

  • Jack White has spoken

    Jump

  • You'll be pleased to hear the orange man has seen the error of his ways in making a social media post, and decided to double down and repeat the claims to journalists in person.

    Because of course he did and why would you expect anything else at this point.

  • Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium"

    Jump

  • Honestly, no idea. I think they're just clutching at straws for things to "offer", because the the next step is obviously going to be "take away the other options from free users"

  • HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continue

    Jump

  • 4% is hardly a spike in the scheme of things. That's just inflation when things aren't really coming down in price any more.

    I bought a drive a year or so ago and was surprised how expensive it was. At some point the price just stopped dropping. Presumably there's a limit on how cheap you can make a spinning rust drive before it just doesn't work any more.

  • Who's got enough hours in the day to only watch reaction videos of teenagers eating foreign chocolate bars at only double speed?

  • Satire is dead.

  • The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" while I was watching it

    Jump

  • I cancelled it the day they announced that

  • The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" while I was watching it

    Jump

  • Yeah, there's stuff under the subscription and stuff you pay for (although you can pay for anything if you're not a subscriber iirc)

    It gives them a perverse incentive to remove shows from the subscription tier if lots of people are watching it. You also get shows where the first few seasons are in the sub, and then suddenly switches to pay for.

    They're an easy cancel.

  • You let somebody else do it.

    They're are ways that involve extracting keys from vulnerable devices if I understand correctly, but if they become well known then they get blocked.
