I just cited myself.
  • I appreciate you taking the time, and I understand where I was wrong. Thank you

    EDIT I'm going to take down my comments because it's affecting my mental health, so for those of you that see it as deleted by creator, I made an incorrect statement, was given information on why I was wrong, and that's about it. Please just downvote this to oblivion instead, I think I will process this being down voted better

  • I just cited myself.
  • Yes, but why am I being downvoted? My point was only that .9 repeating is still less than 1 in tangible measurement, did I misunderstand the meme? The whole joke (I thought) was about being pedantic

    If someone could let me know where I got lost, I would appreciate it because being down voted feels... really bad

  • I just cited myself.
  • I'm an outlier, but the difference between one digit to the hundred thousandth in my industry is YUGE. 0.99999 ≠ 1.00000 (this is just pedantic. otherwise it's a meh kind of problem IMHO)

    edited to be even more pedantic

  • Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
  • if you were actually around long enough there were literally polls of what to call Lemmy users. Lemons was actually the top name for a bit, but lemmings won out. So. Try not to be so needlessly mean. It was named Lemmy not just because of the animals called Lemmings, but also Lemmy from motörhead. that's like two sentences into the Wikipedia page.

  • We can't stop here...
  • I like the idea of you just sitting on your couch, suddenly looking around and slapping your knees to stand, just saying "WELP THAT DOES IT. I AIN'T LEARNING SHIT TODAY."

  • I think there's a clear winner here 😳👉👈
  • Girlfriend:

    [X] eats hot chip

    [X] lie

  • Pure light being
  • I like thinking about cats as my little contract worker. We have a great relationship, but as soon as I ask him to wear a tie or show up to meetings, I very curtly and loudly am reprimanded and reminded that at the end of the day, he. is. a. contractor. and to go fuck myself

  • Nintendo reveals that the new Mario game will have a trans character
  • Oh! Oh. Oohhhhhh. Oh.. oh no. No no no.no no no no NO! NO! NO! NO!

  • Pronouns and tribal affiliations are now forbidden in South Dakota public university employee emails
  • I am sure you are fine, and have never supported bad legislation like this. I think that the biggest complaint I've seen for old cis white males is their ability to claim victimhood when they are at the top of the pyramid, and to make everything about themselves if you can believe it

  • Search engines down?
  • This sentence is incredible.

  • What was the worst time you had at a fun event (party, vacation, etc.)?
  • When I was 10/11 we went to Florida to visit family/go to the Disney world or land, water parks, etc.. as Alaskans this was a big hot awesome vacation trip and we flew for a day and a half to get there.

    Two cousins were there and they were the same age as my brother, around 13/14. It was swiftly decided that I wasn't allowed to play with them or go anywhere with them. If we went swimming, all 3 would dunk me. One time we went to watch a rocket launch, and they were being so mean to me it made my mom start silently crying.

    So, obviously, I went to Disney with everyone and experienced the entire park just me and my grandma, who needed to rest often.

    It is worth mentioning that my father had died a year or so earlier.

    Yeah, that vacation was really upsetting, I am 37 and still get depressed about it sometimes

  • How to Rule
  • I feel called out. I feel proud, but also sad. I feel proudsad. I feel prad.

  • Tennessee woman denied abortion after fetus’ ‘brain not attached’ slams ban
  • It's just a weird detail for the author to include. It's a "while I've still got you here..." sentence. It's entirely unnecessary except to make absolutely sure that everyone knows that she is not speaking in favor of those abortions.

  • Tennessee woman denied abortion after fetus’ ‘brain not attached’ slams ban
  • Ms. Cecil said that she wanted to make clear to the legislators that "abortion is not black and white," explaining that every abortion is different. >

    Maybe I'm reading into it, but this paragraph stood out to me.

  • Rip Striker 2000-2024 😭
  • ...WHAT

  • U.S. company fined $650,000 for illegally hiring children to clean meat processing plants
  • thank you SO MUCH for educating me! I didn't know ANY of that until you so graciously taught me!

  • Day one and done
  • I am embarrassed to say that I like thin crust papa johns, but only if it's cold..? Although, I've only eaten it while hungover, so it's obviously a crap "pizza" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • I need to figure out how to prepare baby bok choy

    Hello! I really, really love bok choy, but every time I prepare it it turns a little sour. My intent is to eat it as part of a simple vegetable stir fry.

    I love blanching when it comes to green beans/peas, steaming when it comes to Broc/cauli, and stir fried for all else..

    What is your favorite way to prepare bok choy to achieve the best crunchy-and-tender texture?

    Does anyone else notice an uptick of extreme troll accounts?

    I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

    They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I'd like to try exposing them before responding and interacting..

    I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I've started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they're burner bot loser accounts.

    I guess i just want to say I've noticed it!

    Can you hide posts individually?

    When I used rif, you could swipe a post and delete it from your screen. Sometimes I want to hide a post so I don't get triggered or pissed off each time I refresh my screen and see it there, mocking me ... I only see options to block user, community, instance. Y no block post?

    How many of you are influenced by a condiment?

    Sometimes, I open the fridge (or a cabinet) and just see some condiment (mostly hot sauce) and realize it will dictate my diet for the next month.

    Like today. I opened my bachelor/nihilist fridge and saw a bottle of Walmart steak sauce. Now, I know, I guess I must eat steak inspired meals, or ground beef inspired meals, or whatever but my favorite is over easy eggs with steak sauce. Or, any sandwich. Also, boiled potatoes, because I am a genius that hates themself. Also green vegetables.

    Sriracha is similar. I see it and think, "oh, you TEASE!" and then put on a pot of rice and start blanching all my veggies.

    I see some local "Louisiana Hot Sauce" in my hot sauce cabinet? Looks like I'm eating pizza for a few weeks because I love the dipping options.

    I'm sure this has been a big, annoying, reddit/Lemmy monstrosity of a conversation already; I just wanted to ask what anyone else was assigned to eat by the Condiment Royal Family/Lineage/deity to obey this morning.

    How to recognize words

    Hello! So, I have always joked around with my friends about how when you say a particular word a few times, you start to question if it even is a word, or if it is spelled that way, etc.(think of tubing, or smock as examples) I have noticed in the past few weeks that I (37yr) am having that problem with almost any word that I try to write. We are talking about "and/it/the/Patrick" and whatnot, and it is really making problems for me at work.

    Does anyone else have this problem! Does your brain automatically make all words sound fake?

    And, yes, all words are made up.. I am talking about the ones that currently reside in common speech.
