  • Subscribing to YT premium is also an evil act

    Jump

  • Same. I still feel the individual is worth it for me as YouTube is the bulk of content I watch. People also tend to forget that a portion of every subscription goes to the creators that you actually watch.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make

    Jump

  • As much as I hate Epic, they gave Remedy a lot of money through the publishing deal like likely made Alan Wake 2 possible.

  • TIL that whales were saved from massacre when kerosene appeared (1860s) because, until then, whale oil was widely used as illumination fuel.

  • We’ve killed off many other species simply by existing and expanding. And even more with what we do to the environment constantly.

  • Airbnb's struggles go beyond people spending less. It's losing some travelers to hotels.

    Jump

  • Also generally with hotels, especially chains, you can actually talk to people to get issues sorted or at least get refunds etc a bell of a lot easier than just chatting with someone overseas through an app.

  • What happened? Take me back

    Jump

  • The beefy 5 layer burrito was introduced in 2009/10

  • What happened? Take me back

    Jump

  • They removed it from the menu in the last couple of years

  • Commentary, behind-the-scenes features, bloopers: What did we lose when we said goodbye to DVDs?

    Jump

  • The first 3 pirates movies DVDs had amazing making of docs

  • TIL When a person receives a kidney transplant they don’t take out the old kidneys, they just shove em to the side and leave em in there.

    Jump

  • In a lot of cases the bad kidneys still do some work, even if not enough ok their own that you might as well get the benefit. And removing them adds risk.

  • My relationship with books. [Roonie the Rabbit]

    Jump

  • Seveneves by Neal Stephenson was mine. I liked the concept but the way he writes women in that book is just…not good at all. Along with a few other annoyances

  • How avoid microplasics?

    Jump

  • The receipt thing, is about the general carcinogenic properties of the thermal paper, and if anyone is a cashier that handles them regularly, wear gloves.

  • Firaxis preserves the 33-year-old, $10,000 386 PC Sid Meier used to develop Civilization – and it still works

    Jump

  • Big one would be capacitors. They don’t last forever and with time with work less efficiently, or not at all. They can leak and corrode the board.

  • The biggest diamond in over a century is found in Botswana -- a whopping 2,492 carats

    Jump

  • I just want to know what genius named carats and karats ostensibly the same thing, especially when both are related to jewellery, but one means purity and the other is just a measure of weight

  • More than 100 people treated for heat-related illness at Colorado airshow

    Jump

  • Yeah I don’t care if I’m gonna have to pay for the water I’m giving away but if I’m a vendor and this is happening anyone can get free water from me

  • Think about it

    Jump

  • I’ll bring weed

  • Horses Can Plan And Strategize, New Study Finds

    Jump

  • Do the horses that work in the Medieval Times entertainment center/restaurants think they are actually in the medieval time period?

  • TIL about the Gell-Mann amnesia effect; when experts find articles published within their field to be full of errors, but trust articles about other fields in the same publication

    Jump

  • I get this with 5-10 minute educational type youtube videos. When it’s a topic I know, it’s obvious they just slightly changed the Wikipedia entry, or took google result headlines. But when I don’t know I’m tempted to parrot the information without checking it

  • Cats appear to grieve death of fellow pets – even dogs, study finds

    Jump

  • Yeah it sounds like they had a bonded pair. As much as it sucks, this is the best option for them.

  • 56 days and counting: Two NASA astronauts are still in space as tests on Boeing capsule continue

    Jump

  • You jest, but a pinhole leak can be temporarily safely sealed on the ISS with a finger over it.

  • Nobody believed in me

    Jump

  • This is the equivalent of “you don’t want to be like that Janitor over there” energy. Needlessly mean to a specific class or profession because they don’t see it as valued.
