  • To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand cropped memes. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of memetics and linguistics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also the high contrast color pallette, which is deftly woven into the message. Lemmy users understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike cropped memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in longing for the bottom half of the text, "Join our Discord". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the meme's genius wit unfolds itself on their smartphone screens. What fools..

  • Can you imagine if this was normalized for the president, and then over time became acceptable for other people?

    "You can't have congress people worried about whether some lawyer will go after them."

    "You can't have CEO's worried about whether the DA will go after them."

    "You can't expect your boss to worry about whether you will go after them."

    "You can't expect your pastor to worry about whether the faithless will go after them."

  • I'm in the minority of people who really like the design, I just wouldn't ever consider buying anything from Tesla.

  • ‘Magical thinking’: hopes for sustainable jet fuel not realistic, report finds

    Jump

  • The real question is whether sustainable jet fuel can melt steel beams.

  • You didn't say, "can't be", thats why I said it's like you said that.

    We didnt call it, "incel" 100 years ago when someone acted like an incel. If someone was making jokes and promoting a mindset at the time that would now be labeled "incel", then we can retroactively say the ideology they promoted fits our current label.

    I am in the same conversation, and I hear what you're saying. I don't think you sincerely understood what I was saying the first time.

  • That's like saying someone can't be a homosexual in ancient Rome because the word didn't exist yet.

    Like, in an extremely pedantic way you could say that, but it doesn't reflect what was actually happening.

  • About 1 in 4 US adults 50 and older who aren't yet retired expect to never retire, AARP study finds

    Jump

  • I have had conversations with evangelicals who believe retiring is morally wrong, based entirely on this one passage:

    For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: Anyone unwilling to work should not eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10

    I can't begin to wrap my head around this.

  • You crazies actually trust the Sun to be there when you need it?! Ha!

  • The US used over 3.6 million gigawatts hours of energy in 2020. If you round down, and assume no increase in the last 4 years, that's over 9800 per day. 30 is a drop in the bucket. We have combined cycle natural gas plants, along with other green options to pick up for dips in production exactly like this.

    A better question is how much energy we gain from solar if losing it for a couple hours once a decade or so is such a big deal.

  • What is your idea of a perfect day off?

    Jump

  • I wake up, all the chores were done the day before. I have nowhere to be. My wife and I make our coffee and sit outside. The weather is cool enough to be comfortable with a blanket. We sit in silence mostly, observing the changing autumn leaves.

    We meander, doing nothing of importance all day and go nowhere until we pick up a deep dish pizza from our favorite local restaurant. We take it home and eat it on out couch while our cats watch enviously.

    We go to bed, and fall asleep immediately.

  • I have all the issues with Discord that you mention, but struggle to find a better alternative. Do you have any recommendations?
