I was sad once and then I realized that I cannot control my emotions and was forced to remain sad

FOMO is a bad beast

corporations use ice to give less of the drink, and shoved it up everyone’s ass with ads everywhere, and now people just accept it without questioning cough cough frog in a boiling pot cough cough

I really hate that California dropped all new shower heads down to 1.8 gpm

never heard of this, but wow I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I buy a shower head (which is probably never because of how much those things last, but good to know anyways)

Everyone’s thinking it, I’m just saying it

stop with the fucking drugs already

here*

so I actually tried it last night and it came out a bit too mushy for my liking, is that how it’s supposed to be or do you do something to it to make it more like regular pancakes in consistency?

What would be the utility for someone, who cares about privacy and currently uses Signal and email for communication?

Matrix is more like discord, no phone numbers, just email, and you can make big groups with different channels within. More meant for communities then something like Signal, that’s mostly for 1:1 conversation or small groups

What advantage would it give me over other services? Keeping the discord example i said above, no tracking, possibility to have end to end encryption, and open source code, along with the ability of having different instances that can communicate to each other, just like here on lemmy, so if you don’t trust anyone else you can run your own instance

Is Matrix anything good already, or is it something with potential that’s still fully in development?

It’s mostly good already, but as with many other privacy focused services it lacks a wide adoption, so most of the communities there are about privacy, Linux and that type of stuff.

How tech savvy does one need to be to use Matrix?

The most used client, Element, is IMO very easy to use, you can directly register through there, and you get the choice of choosing between the official matrix.org instance (which on certain occasions is laggy due to the many people using it), or other instances

the concept of homework was dumb in the first place anyways

Given:

Bite Force of T. rex: 45,000 Newtons

Jaw Closing Distance: Approximately 0.3 meters

Energy=Force×Distance=45,000N×0.3m=13,500Joules

Say we have a typical 10w led lightbulb, how much could it power it for?

Time= Power/Energy=13,500J / 10W=1,350 seconds, or approximately 22 and a half minutes with a single T-Rex chomp, assuming 100% conversion efficiency

the sequestering step is actually kinda easy, it’s the sun shield that’s the hard part

you absolute moron genius, as a fellow ketchup enjoyer I need to try this, what type of bread do you use?

“The probability of having a bomb on a plane is very low, and the probability of having two bombs on the same plane is virtually zero.”

Chubbyemu made me fear a lot of things

I have next to no experience but from the few times I went on those planes I can say the G forces are much more then you expect. It’s not just “oh cool I feel lighter”, it’s " oh god I’m falling to my inevitable death"
