Swedish Chef as Tom Bombadil is perfect!

The Lord of the Rings, but Gandalf is the only human actor and everyone else are Muppets.

• Tells people to stop hiring humans
• Markets AI to look like a human

Americans: “Wait, you can do that?!”

Yes, you’re correct. My mistake. Here’s another pizza with cheese on top instead of glue. (It’s still glue)

Gonna need someone to be ready to flip the switch on the drone’s AI when it decides to target schools and hospitals.

Saved you a click:

The Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed 18 Russian vessels that were providing logistical support to occupied Crimea.

According to information from the General Staff, the vessels struck included 13 tankers, three dry cargo ships, one ferry, and one support vessel.

According to the Ukrainian military, these vessels are used to support the Russian Federation’s military logistics, transporting fuel and lubricants, military cargo, and other resources necessary for conducting armed aggression against Ukraine.

Using drones, according to the article.

I just utilize gluttony to empty the bag, preemptively removing any need to close it in the future.

I’m going to start calling them this now. It’s perfect. Thank you. I usually call them Compensators or “Ferd F-Teen Thousands”

this might arise to the level of cruel and unusual

They’ll just say it’s not unusual because everybody is being forced to not be trans. If everybody is subject to the cruelty then it’s not unusual, as shown by all the other horrendous things the US prison system has done to people. The courts have decided that a punishment must be BOTH cruel AND unusual otherwise it’s perfectly fine to torture people with.

A US takeover of Greenland is currently the only way to address the long-term security risks surrounding the ice-covered island belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark, a senior US official said on Sunday.

Why would you be concerned about Denmark (and Europe) being able to attack the USA if there’s no war with them? Unless…

I heard the new James Bond game locks single player abilities and unlocks behind an always-online connection. You can play without it, but you can’t level up or unlock any new skills or abilities.

And even though you don’t need to get the battle pass, it has items that are meta-defining and you can’t viably play in online multiplayer without them without getting crushed.

TLDR:

Debating Christianity in class will likely create more non-believers

As many an ex-evangelical can tell you, direct exposure to what the Bible actually says is often the first step to walking away from Christian fundamentalism altogether.

Can’t believe I had to open a clickbait link just to skim through an article.

A majority of what I’m seeing might not be bots but is definitely “low effort” as you said. I’ll browse through the Hot posts across all instances Federated with my instance and it seems like most of what I see is just low-effort, copy-paste links with no description in the body of the post and a click-bait title leading to a pay-walled news article.

Now add in bots reposting spam-blog slop and see how it shifts. It seems like 80% of the posts I’m seeing on Lemmy are bots just spamming articles to pay-walled news articles or someone’s news blog, all without any text or description other than a click-bait title, to drive traffic to the site.

The headline sort of implies that he earned it in some way, such as through smart buying/selling, and not stealing it through outright market manipulation and money laundering.

I always use some sort of dark mode wallpaper. I’ve been using a screenshot from the game Elite Dangerous for several years now on my phone, while my PC uses the default dark wallpaper that got set when I updated bios drivers for my motherboard (AMD Ryzen wallpaper). There’s another community that has some good dark wallpapers for phone if you want to try changing things up: https://lemmy.world/c/amoledbackgrounds

This is a big reason why I have a problem with streaming services these days. With anime, it can get worse when some services only stream in Dubbed or Subbed where you want the opposite. And even with a great fiber optic internet connection the streaming sites will reduce your playback quality like mentioned above, to the point where a few times now I’ve opted to find and download the show elsewhere even though I’m subscribed.

Password managers are great until you forget the password to the password manager. That’s why you use a second password manager to backup the password for your first password manager. Just don’t forget the password to that one too.
