Why are black people still Christian?
  • Why is a YouTube video being posted in an ask thread? You have already provided an answer to your question in the form of a video. This isn't answerlemmy, and it isn't you providing any of your personal thoughts in the context of the question.

  • Pokemon - US Edition
  • Do the rom hack right.

    • Toll roads everywhere. Paid each time you enter.
    • Pokemart is a monopoly and gouges you.
    • Arceusism is the state religion and others are barely tolerated.
    • Gyms are privatized and cost per attempt.
    • Pokemon sweatshops.
    • PC access is a freemiun model where you get the first 5 for free, but beyond that you have to pay for Pokestorage+ and pay monthly. Also pokes come out hating you so pretty sure they getting abused. And occasionally pokes get lost.
  • New to Lemmy. Why did you choose Lemmy when there are bigger alternatives such as 4chan and reddit.
  • 4chan is a wholly different type of site. It's an image board, not about link sharing. Use of screen names is discouraged.
    Also why would you go to a site labelled the asshole of the Internet if you're looking for actual discussion and conversation. If you want porn or want nazi-adjacent discussion or great wallpapers, sure, go there.

  • Chocolate eggs in little egg cartons
  • Look up the piece by pbs and by John Oliver. They also do a cocoa bean tracking system so they know where the beans are coming from. This is importa t to know that the beans are coming from the good farms and not from the bad ones. All that being said, they say they can't say slavery free due to how bad it is in that area. They can't guarantee that.
    I think for me it's as simple as - do I go with the brand that seems to be doing something about it? Or go with the brand that misses it's own targets and is satisfied with the horrible status quo

  • This is $87 worth of shopping. Please feel free to use the space below to critique my purchases
  • You can get jelly that's a lot less sugar than the cheap stuff. As for kids - I'm a firm believer in letting kids butch and moan for a few days and after that they get used to it and eat it. Just take the time investment to save yourself some hassle later on. Or tell them to make their own.

    • Muffins/Swiss rolls - depends on how much it is but I get it being a quick comfort food. However, check if there's a bakery of some kind (including
      Chinese / Latino bakeries) near you. It's nearly as cheap or cheaper and much fresher. Good bread there too.
    • Pasta sauce: my wife actually just makes a Alfredo sauce from scratch and it seems to be just a bit more complicated than Mac and cheese sauce. Flour, milk, and cheese. Probably a lot more cost effective.
    • Instead of a red tomato sauce I would buy diced tomatoes ( or those fire riasted ones) and dump them over noodles. It tastes better than the bottled red sauce.
    • Mac and cheese: see above - but also, if you're going to get it, get the box. The single serve things are worse than the generic box Mac.
      -froze spinach is great. Try throwing that in whatever you're cooking. Never goes bad. Already bite sized.
      -Also, you gotta report that grocery store. Cats are friends not food.
  • To those who got the Reddit/MorganStanley email... Are you gonna do it?
  • Put your entire savings in. Then open up a few credit cards and take out as much cash of them as possible. Put it all into one stock. Then be confident that you're smarter than everyone else and will sell at just the right moment, and much smarter than the people shorting the stock.

    Someone needs to do a fantasy Hitman game.

    Magical accidents. Potions. Demon summoning accidents. Hitman already ventures into the absurd and this would just be one more step.

    Crazy Ideas @lemmy.world Hello_there @kbin.social
    Schedule a "drag" racing tour throughout the southern US.

    Steps:

    1. Schedule races in only Trump counties
    2. Heavily publicize it via monster truck style ads
    3. Have people asking and recording mildly leading questions about gender and sexuality to audiences waiting to get in.
    4. At halfway through the race, inform audience that all drivers are current/former contestants on Ru Paul's drag race
    5. Profit off of video compilation of rednecks questioning their sexuality

    Does kbin take advantage of image caching? Pages seem to newly load images each time the page is reloaded

    I might not know what I'm talking about, but if they were cached on my browser I'd see them load instantly after loading once, right? But they take a bit to load each time when viewed on opera mobile. Seems like a good way to reduce server costs?

    Air at EV charging

    I had a tire that needed air in my tire, so I went to the gas station with my EV and got some in there. That's great for now, but what happens in several years when the number of Gas stations declines? Gas stations have been great resources for air, bathrooms, and snacks on road trips. What is going to replace it?

    Help me understand security of push notifications

    With Surveillance Station, you can set up push notifications to send an email, text, or notification on mobile via DS Cam app.

    I get the email service - you're authenticating yourself as the email account holder and sending an email. Do images transmit to Synology controlled servers before getting to your email inbox?

    With push notifications to DS Cam, the same question. Are any images transmitted to any other servers before arriving on my phone?

    These may be straightforward - but I was burned on the Eufy scandal and don't want a similar situation here.

    Caster wheels for office chair?

    I need to either replace my office chair or replace it's wheels - they're killing my wood floors when the chair moves off the mat. Amazon is now an abyss of sponsored listings and fake reviews and algorithms - so I'm unable to get good feedback on a solution. I've heard that the skateboard style replacements are good - but too rolly, leading to unwanted movement. Any suggestions on replacements that have worked for you?
