My nephew has a bunch of depictions of dinosaurs in his room.
The only logical conclusion is that dinosaurs have roamed the earth within the last 6 years.

I don’t remember if I saw this one in person or not, but the Morton rotates through large, nature-inspired sculptures like this every few years. And you’re right, a lot of them will include natural materials but they are generally metal or concrete shells over a metal frame.
Here’s their current installation: https://mortonarb.org/explore/activities/exhibitions/of-the-earth/
It’s especially hacky since that thing looks much closer to the size of a banana than a pineapple anyways!
For me personally, pepperoni better nails the sweet/spicy/savory trifecta a little better than ham, but it’s very much in the same ballpark.
She was a fax machine she kept her modem clean.
That’s a legit start to a Weird Al song right there!
No Internet meant 1st person in line had a real chance to get front row seats Tickets were 30.00 maybe…I paid 40 to see van Halen with Alice in Chains open
I get this probably wasn’t your main intent, but no internet also meant that if you didn’t live in a large-ish city with physical access to those tickets, you either took hours/days out of your life or were just SOL.
Internet ticket sales aren’t really the problem, it’s automated and sanctioned/coordinated scalping for resale. (To be fair, that is largely enabled by internet sales…) There’s certainly no technical reason all tickets to a popular show couldn’t be sold at the same price and/or to those who had virtually queued up. It’s just those aspects that make a better fan experience are generally directly opposed to making the most money.

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a Tootsie Pop, but a lick that gets 1/364th the way to the center sounds somewhat more aggressive than I would want applied to the vagina that I don’t have.
(and now that is in my comment history…)
I do find it interesting/funny that Google felt the need to actually provide this, as a sort of acknowledgement that their main search “results” page is so full of random info boxes and generated content that people can’t find actual links anymore.
Personally, and In principle at least, this makes sense. About half of my web searches are looking for a quick answer to a question (what’s the per pound cook time for a frozen turkey?), so having that answer highlighted and summarized alongside the source is very useful. It’s actually the minority of the time that what I really want is a link to an external resource.
The effectiveness of that implementation and the accuracy of the summarized info is a whole other topic…
It’s honestly kinda wild how many comments here are in favor of cops kicking down doors to enforce this law.
I know, I know, Lemmy isn’t a singular person. But it’s rare to see the anti-gun crowd advocating for aggressive police action–apparently it’s okay just because they are gun owners?
I absolutely believe we’d be better off with less guns floating around this country, but that necessarily is going to be a slow generational shift unless you’re advocating for violent standoffs between well-armed citizens and an even more well-armed state.
My Minnesota homes know what’s up
On the power disable feature topic, I’ve only bought a few used enterprise drives from Goharddrive.com and Serverpartsdeals.com, but they both included a handy little SATA power adapter with each drive for exactly that reason.
The first desktop I installed them in worked just fine with the factory PSU cables, but when I upgraded I was left scratching my head for a few minutes until I remembered those adapters!
I think their point was that unless 100% of men are contributing to a problem, the problem clearly doesn’t exist, no matter how many women experience it.
If your goal is to access a random account as quickly as possible, why would you ever try anything other than the next most common PIN?
It’s not like Vegas where longer odds = higher payout. Less common PIN just means any given account is less likely.to use it, and therefore it’s less likely to be correct on any given attempt.
If you look at it another way, the brightness of each square on that grid is the probability that there is a prize inside. If you wanted the most prizes as quickly as possible, picking the darkest avsilsble square is always a bad choice.
Yeah, “Hot” is just short for Hot Garbage. It’s basically “New” for posts with a couple of upvotes and maybe 1 post.
I think it’s a divide by zero thing where posts are weighted by activity divided by age. So a tiny amount of activity on a new post is weighted the same or more than an active post that’s a few hours old.
Edit to add: Top 6 Hour seems to be where it’s at for a mix of fresh content that is also active.
Clearly “Yinz” is the ideal second person plural term. The rest of the english-speaking world just hasn’t caught up to Pittsburgh yet.
Ha! It took me a minute too to realize that having to google WTF a skibidi toilet is was the Millennial test, not being expected to know it.
Finally, a sterotype of “millennial” that recognizes we kinda be old now!
Very related, but the song that was played over every retirement, graduation, and other big life event photo montage for about 3 years was literally called “Good Riddance” lmao
Begrudgingly given in.
Good fully wireless ear buds are truly an amazing convenience, but I value having flexibility and redundancy in my hardware more than having a slightly sleeker form factor. Thay includes things like removable battery, SD card slot, etc. Unfortunately, the market has spoken, and keeping those features limits you to a more and more niche selection every year. By now the tradeoff just isn’t worth it to me.
As far as USB dongles, I seem to have enough problems with USB-C ports becoming loose or flaky for charging that I avoid using them except when necessary. Wireless chargers abound in my house.
I’ve never heard of this… what’s the idea behind it? That you get the RH near 100%, and any dust particles will be a nucleation point for water to condense on, causing them to literally rain out of the air?
