@futurebird I know it’s not your point, but an interesting question is: What is the smallest human population that could sustain a modern lifestyle?

This is my tiny hill I will die on.

@kingrat The solution is probably more regulation on foodstuffs.

@kingrat Yeah, me too, but it can kill a joke delivery so it’s bad for funny stuff

What do I need to buy to make speech intelligible in modern shows and movies? I assumed I was just getting old until I watched some older films and shows and discovered that, no, mixing is just trash these days that makes it impossible to hear what’s being said. What can I buy/change to make human voices stand out?

Something ironic about international men’s day falling nearly on the same day as the gender gap day

Always get the biggest pizza size. The interior-to-crust ratio will always be better. The price/area pizza is usually a better deal (remember, area increases as the square of the radius). And leftover pizza is always good to have.

this seems like a pretty good design honestly https://electrek.co/2024/11/13/this-new-sun-powered-electric-cargo-moped-is-literally-giant-solar-panels-on-wheels/

Buy used, whenever you can.

It's better for your pocket book, it's better for the environment, if you're buying from local people you are putting money directly into the local economy, you'll probably buy fewer things, and sometimes older used things are even better quality than new.

@forteller And now that’s in my head… ta!

Remember when people (myself included) were worried switching to Kamala so “late” would tank the campaign? lol

@rek @neauoire I guessing y'all know this already, but the "peace" symbol ☮️ is derived from the flag semaphore for N and D for Nuclear Disarmament.

I have some t-shirts of my own design I want to own. Some of them, I can see other people wanting too. I’m not looking to make money from this, I have a job. Anyone have a recommendation for a website for this? A simple store front and decent t-shirts?

I’ve tried searching but the space is filled with a lot of unreliable info. I’d like to hear from humans.

I'm too lazy to actually do this, but is there a mailserver I can run on my domain which will give me uniquely generated email addresses every time but route all email to a single inbox?

Perhaps I'm shockingly naive, but I didn't realize that companies can directly donate to American political campaigns and the very notion disgusts me.

We now have a neighborhood rooster. Roosters aren’t allowed, so the going theory is that someone just let theirs free rather than deal with that fact. Anyway, it wanders around, and nothing has eaten it yet.

I dunno if cougars eat roosters, but dogs will certainly go after one, and we have plenty of loose dogs.

Just gonna search “cougars eating cocks” on my work computer to find out, what could go wrong

Who has a podcast app they like? For a long time, I’ve been using Overcast and absolutely hating it, but the UI redesign is the straw pushing me to action.
