Why is head hair different from other hairy parts?
  • I for one am happy I don't grow a long, smooth mane between my legs. Still not happy with pubic hair, though.

    If I had to guess it would be thicker and curlier because it supposedly has to do this job of spreading pheromones and not get too much in the way of action. Also, you get more friction from moving your body in those places, so hair too thin might not cut it, and break off. Or something.

    I really want to get laser hair removal, btw. Evolution has been leading up to lasers, everyone knows that.

  • You randomly get a hold of your colleague's phone. It's unlocked. You don't mind being fired. What sounds do you set as his notification and ring tones?
  • I would like to point out I did not ask lemmy "What morals would you preach to strangers on the Internet without knowing the specific context of the situation", but what sounds you would set.

    All of you nicely mannered boys and girls get a pat on the head, though.

    I was thinking of something like the Duff Man theme and slapping sounds and moans, but I feel that Lemmy knows better.

    (Obviously, I would start texting and calling him during the next meeting)

    Anon moves on
  • One of 4chan's main purposes to me is to create degenerate content like that, most likely (hopefully) fictitious. It serves the same purpose as a splatter movie to me. I still can't bring myself to upvote this piece of shit, though 😅

  • What is it with companies ditching Denuvo?

    I've been reading the same thing a couple of times lately, company x removes Denuvo from game y.

    What is happening? Are we returning to a state of innocence and purity?

    You finally made it

    Alright, your propaganda here over the past months has worked. I want to get into Star Trek. Where do I start? Can I take an abbreviated tour? Or do I need to go to TOS?

    Meta: Requirement to post year of creation?

    Hello, I love this community, but I can't stand it that so many posts don't feature the year that the artwork was made. That's such important information, just to place that piece of art in context. Maybe it can be made a requirement to include the year? What do you think?

    Alexa should react to short, weird sounds like glottal stops

    I think it's silly to speak in full sentences to home assistants, when I really just use 5 commands most of the time.

    It would be snappier to make weird sounds, produced by snapping ones tongue e.g., like some African tribes use in their languages.

    Or any other weird, short sounds.

    It might be more satisfying to use, and probably funnier.

    Also, over the course of a few years this might find its way into everyday spoken language. Which would be wonderfully dystopian and maybe funny.

    Why are there so many apps that could be websites?

    Seriously. I don't want to install something on my phone when the dev is just using a WebView, if that's what it's called. When the app is basically just a website with the browser hidden.

    What's the reason for that? To attach the customer? To sell the app for money? Is there more ad revenue that way? Do you reach more people?

    (Are there any good reasons for it, too? Security, maybe?)

    Is public transport in the USA owned by car makers?

    I once heard that in the middle of 20th century, public transportation in the USA was widely privatized and bought by automotive manufacturers, and then wilfully left to rot, so that people would buy more cars.

    However, I can't find anything backing that up. Do you know whether that's true, and where I can find some sources for that?

    What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

    I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don't recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn't cut it, either.

    The best thing would be several randomness sliders. One for randomness in bands, the other for randnomness of their songs, one for genres. Please tell me some music service has implemented something like that. I am dying over here.

    Would eating raw human brains make you high?

    With all the hormones and whatnot inside. Dopamine, adrenaline, melatonin, whatever. Also, there's this Hunter S. Thompson bit on the.. pineal gland?

    If it had an effect on you, wouldn't it be a really messed up high, all over the place? With uppers, downers etc mixed? (Not including the emotional implications of eating raw human brains.)

    Play it for the first time now or wait for September?

    Hey there,

    so I was turned off by all the drama at launch and waited until now to buy the game. I hear major changes are going to come soon.

    So do you think it's a better idea to start playing it now, or wait for patch 1.7/2.0?
