  • YSK - Prune juice helps with constipation, but don't drink too much of it

    Jump

  • I once had the great idea of drinking a litre of beetroot juice, which I had read is amazing for sports recovery because of something something helping blood carrying more oxygen or something like that.

    Instant diarrhea, and on top of it, beetroot tinted it looked just like blood, so up until I realised what was going on and the fact that it actually wasn't blood, that was a scary experience.

    I don't know whether beetroot is known to cause diarrhea or it was just my body noping the juice out of it, but I have steered clear of beetroot juice ever since!

  • Salmon change sex too if I recall correctly.

  • Will the Democrats learn from Zohran Mamdani’s victory? | Bernie Sanders

    Jump

  • I think the opposite. They will learn not to hold primaries because that goes against their interests.

    They'll keep trying the Hillary / Kamala strategy until they get lucky or the US is done for good and the notion of a government becomes pointless.

  • So many moods

    Jump

  • I would say except "no thoughts, head empty" and "want to do nothing", the rest of the moods are failures to regulate.

    If you can regulate, you don't get into a hyperfocus that lets you forget your own physical needs; or feel you want to do "all the things" but simultaneously none of them feels appealing/right.

  • I think this means we can make a torrent client with a built in function that uses 0.1% of 1 CPU core to train an ML model on anything you download. You can download anything legally with it then. 👌

  • The emulator that lets you play NES games in 3D has left early access on Steam

    Jump

  • Still, being able to argue they're not for profit is what typically has protected emulators from being sued to oblivion (and with Nintendo, even that's risky)...

  • Anyone get this?

  • I think this might be the first time I find the right words to say this. Also it's probably not the right thread but if I try to make a post I'll lose motivation and not write this, so... Since we're in an ADHD sub, here we go.

    It irks me when people say I physically can't get off the sofa and do things. Because no, there's nothing physical preventing us. There's no barrier, there's no muscle weakness, our neurons haven't stopped telling our legs to work. We're mentally blocked instead (as evidenced, for example, by the fact that we might be able to get up to go get more crisps, while moping and feeling useless all the way to the kitchen and back).

    Our mind, and by this I'm talking about the area of the brain that controls executive function, it's refusing to either put together a plan (10:04 am - get up, 10:05 am - clean kitchen) or might know the plan but refusing to execute it and send the commands to another part of the brain.

    I think when people say "I physically can't move", neurotypicals roll their eyes and don't understand, because there's nothing at a physical level actually preventing an able-bodied individual to move, and they make the mental shortcut to "this person is lazy".

    Sorry about the rambling. TL;DR: I think we need better wording to explain this to people who don't experience it, as we're blocked mentally, not physically.

  • Photography Trends That Reveal Everything Wrong With Modern Society

    Jump

  • I don't agree - to me, it feels the article is not about generations but about society. For example, take the fact that right now aesthetics are shaped by algorithms, and anyone from any generation needs to tailor their photography to what the algorithm likes. This is not a "gen z bad, millennial good" complaint - this is cross-generation and the complaint here is "we're all letting corporations dictate our tastes like never before".

    The other points such as FOMO, Monetization of human relationships (influencers), can be similarly linked to social interactions being primarily corporate controlled.

    I don't think it's fair to dismiss those issues as "things young people like", nor to put the blame on them and say "these issues are caused by how young people interact socially".

    FOMO is a genuine cause for anxiety and it's a direct consequence of a modern society where social media exists - not something that Millenials, Gen Z or Gen Alpha like or are responsible for.

  • It it more common for us to love physical media?

    Jump

  • I would say it's mostly because of ADHD that I prefer digital. I don't lose it, it doesn't turn into clutter, I can take it with me without having to remember (e.g. on the steam deck or switch)...

    There's the downside of publishers sometimes removing access to the content, but that's more of a downside of bad actors rather than digital explicitly - people who bought The Crew as a physical copy still lost access because ubisoft sucks, not because it was digital.

  • In different ways. For example, it's very rare for a car to explode in a collision, other than in movies.

    One of the reasons that make hydrogen difficult to work with in this sense is that hydrogen (H₂) molecules are so small that they can permeate most materials, such as steel. Then it can get somewhat easily to wherever there is a spark, and chaos ensues. Annoyingly you don't even need 100% Hydrogen for that to happen, as it can ignite with a concentration of just 4%.

    After we stopped using Hydrogen mostly as a consequence of Hindenburg's accident, it's taken years to perfect hydrogen fuel cells to a safety standard that can be used in cars. As far as I know, its use has been limited to rockets/space propulsion otherwise (where you can just throw millions at the problem to make it safer).

  • As much as it pains me to say it, the Switch 2's short battery life is a real bummer

    Jump

  • I mean it's your money, but if you already have a portable handheld with better screen, better battery, and that can run the whole of the steam catalogue... why spend $450 (or whatever) on the Mario Machine, is it just for the exclusives?

  • Are we seriously valuing this comic based on the quality of the drawings rather than the idea they convey?

    IMHO this is all about the idea/text, which doesn't look like AI slop to me.

  • Digital Foundry: Yes, It's Faster: Switch 2 Back Compat vs Batman Arkham Knight + the Witcher 3

  • A console in 2025 "runs at a stable 30" fps and that's good news? Of course this is slightly faster than a mobile chip from 10 years ago, but that's an incredibly low bar to set.
