I chuckled. Kid is so cool that satan gets flustered. Even chained up the kid is still 😏. I don’t think there’s more to it

Whoops! missed that part 🤦 very good point

What’s she going for?

Whatever she wants because the UAE welcomes wealth and excessive spending, that’s kind of its whole thing (that and human rights violations). The idea that visiting Dubai is precedented by an interest in history is not grounded in reality. If Dubai was concerned about anything other than excess wealth, why do they keep building things like the burj khalifa and an indoor snow ski slope?

Ignore this, I really misunderstood the comment

Nothing good happens there.

This is incredibly dismissive of two entire countries and cultures. I suspect it’s based out of ignorance or preconceived notions rather than any actual experience or knowledge

“Amoral” 🤣 Like Dubai has any business judging morals

Ignore me, the point went “whoosh” over my head

I think I knew that. Thanks for the reminder. Thanks Google - enshittification for all!

How is piped supposed to work? Instead of a video, I see Got error: “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot”

Reminds me of this

“So I went to the fridge and I opened up the meat drawer - you know what the meat drawer is, right?”

Yeah his website doesn’t seem like a good place to get updates, Tapas tends to stay up to date and has his bonus panels, though:

That’s the joke

I think Lemmy developers should focus on developing and supporting Lemmy’s core features and not stuff like novelty bots. Lemmy is not a monolithic entity, so the rules regarding implementing such bots would be up to each instance and then each community on the instance. There’s no technical reason I’m aware of that would prevent such a bot from working, just a question as to whether it would be allowed or even welcomed.

But then who is putting everything on the treadmills on the other side?

He got the treadmills because he’s too lazy to go into the kitchen to get the snacks, and I assume the snacks being stored in the fridge and cabinets- otherwise, why not just keep the snacks where he is sitting now? But then how are the snacks getting onto the treadmills from their respective storage?

The National Guard is not monolithic either, as it is per service and per state. I.e. Minnesota Air National Guard, Minnesota Army National Guard, Iowa Air… you get it

Save science for people who understand things.

Does this not strike you as the least bit ironic?

They don’t have nearly as much of a problem as non-federated social media. The short answer is that it depends on how instances have things set up and how users decide to migrate- but still, compare that to non-federated social media where you’re just given the boot when things shut down

Asklemmy’s purpose is a place to ask open-ended questions, “an actual topic of discussion”, as the sidebar puts it, its not really meant to just answer questions that could be researched and answered.

I’m making an ass of myself assuming that he’s just a known quantity at this point. I should realize that not everyone was alive, watching those channels on TV then, or that corner of YouTube now! He was on Mythbusters, which was a very popular science entertainment show on the discovery channel from 2003-2018, and his livestreams on the Tested YouTube channel since then are pretty popular where he talks about being a “maker” and all that entails - freelancing, skills, tools, jobs, relationships, etc etc etc.

I can’t think of a particular video where he mentioned cardboard+hot glue, he’s mentioned it a few times because he’s not shy about repeating things- he’d rather convey a point than worry that he’s told a story or anecdote before. I mentioned it here because it really stuck with me with its simplicity- along with a thought in the back of my head that I should get a hot glue gun myself one of these days…

I do not, just passing along the concept. I catch his recorded live streams fairly regularly and I know that he’s mentioned cardboard + hot glue on multiple occasions, especially when “how do I get started?” type questions come up.
