Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who dress "nicely" to travel through airports, why?
4·15 days agoIf I come with nice dress and makeup
I can’t help but wonder: a test scenario missing here is what if you wear a boring ‘professional’ suit and hairdo like men do.
Of course, a case of a dude in a dress also remains to be checked.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: If you use Imgur to share images here, anyone using a VPN likely won't see the image.English
2·18 days agoI’ve never once even managed to get anything from Catbox via Tor, via different routes. Seems to be a rather widespread problem.
They must’ve hosted something egregious to make a whole bunch of ISPs and entire countries block them.

3·18 days agoIirc Lemmy itself allows uploading videos when posting, though perhaps this differs per instance.

6·17 days agoThey made it into a quasi-Reddit like fifteen years ago. Back then, Reddit was mostly text posts, while Imgur only ever had image posts and later videos (including screenshots of text, of course). These days that’s not as much of a distinction — however on Imgur, short quippy comments always prevailed, and lots and lots of gif comments. After a while, this sucked even ten years ago when I used Imgur for a while, and I don’t imagine the situation improved lately.
Anyway, when uploading an image to link it elsewhere, you can just not publish it for others on the site to see it and comment.
P.S. Gotta say, though, the most fun I’ve ever had on social media is when people browsing by ‘new’ on Imgur decided that for one day they would upvote anything and everything that comes by. As a result, exceptionally weird stuff actually made its way to the main feed. I haven’t seen such abundance of weirdness and quirkiness even on the early 2010s Tumblr when it was still fresh and hip.

4·18 days agoYou get the image URL by right-clicking on the image and selecting ‘copy image link’ or whatever it is in your browser. It looks like ‘i.imgur.com/33blahbleh.jpg’, whereas the page URL is ‘imgur.com/gallery/cat-making-pizza-33blahbleh’.
If you use the app, I doubt it that they give you the direct image URL anywhere.

2·26 days agoTrump’s perverted brand of charisma is what propelled him to the two-time presidency. It was glaringly obvious in 2017, when the rest of Republicans started competing in who can best emulate his assholery.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do we dance and hop when we desperately need to go number 1?
3·5 months agoExactly, this depends on the circumstances. E.g. cats tend to bury the waste so it doesn’t smell, while other territorial animals piss on everything in sight to mark the land. Nevertheless, when an animal is jumped by another, they often drop deuces all over while hitting the road dramatically. There’s a recent-ish clip on Reddit of two hippos fighting, wherein one of them decided to do the helicopter distribution of dung in the middle of the altercation.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do we dance and hop when we desperately need to go number 1?
1·5 months agoNot really, it’s well known that animals tend to shit and piss, dropping the weight and encumbrance, right before executing on the fight-or-flight response. People are likewise prone to soiling themselves in fear. So idk why it’s the other way around when just going on my walks, but I’m not gonna complain about it when my city doesn’t have many public toilets open at night.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do we dance and hop when we desperately need to go number 1?
16·5 months agoIn my unscientific experience, if I’m on the go as in walking, the piss can be kept in for an hour and more. If I stop, I don’t think willpower alone will prevent me from pissing myself. So the dance is probably simulating the conditions of being too busy for a toilet break.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a gadget or appliance that you purchased that you would wholeheartedly recommend to others?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do steam games appear cheap in Asia?
8·5 months agoSteam singlehandedly diminished prevalence of piracy in some markets where it was overwhelmingly rampant before, by making it affordable to buy games compared to just downloading them from a torrents forum.
And just so it’s clear, I’m not gonna pay fifty bucks for a game, because I can live two weeks on that.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•In this modern world of AI, with devices everywhere having microphones, is it even safe to satirically joke and banter with a friend anymore?
25·5 months agoWelcome back to the USSR.
Four people are travelling by train, in the same compartment. They share a few drinks, and start talking trash about the party and the government. One of them decides to play a joke on the others: he finds the car’s conductor and asks them to bring four cups of tea to the compartment at exactly eight o’clock.
Meanwhile, the others in the compartment continue to insult the authorities.
“Aren’t you afraid to criticize the party so openly?”, asks the first guy.
“Who will hear you here?”, responds one of the others.
“All compartments in the train are bugged, you know”, says the guy.
“Don’t bullshit us like that”
“You don’t believe me? Okay then. Comrade colonel, please send four cups of tea to the fifth compartment”, speaks the guy loudly.
A couple minutes later, the door opens, and the conductor brings in four cups of tea. The others in the compartment fall silent, and hurriedly go to sleep.
In the morning, the guy wakes up and discovers himself to be the only one in the compartment. When the conductor comes around, he asks: “Where have the others gone? They were supposed to be travelling further than me.”
“I don’t know about that”, responds the conductor, “But comrade colonel really liked your joke.”
‘Angina’ in Latin means tonsillitis, i.e. throat inflammation. It was borrowed in this meaning into Slavic and some Romance languages. Somehow English missed the note that ‘angina’ already means a particular disease, and borrowed the other sense of the word: ‘choking, suffocation’, and uses it mostly for angina pectoris, i.e. crushing chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The way this egg peels in infuriatingEnglish
171·5 months agoThat’s not enough. It’s also important that the water is boiling when one initially drops the eggs in, instead of them putting the eggs into cold water and bringing to boil.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is cryptocurrency good for anything?
1·5 months agoWell, you presumably believe that you know what you’re talking about, so why don’t you tell me how this tracing is supposed to work?

I create a fresh wallet A. I go to John and buy bitcoin with cash, deposited to that wallet. John knows zilch about me other than that some person occasionally shows up with cash, among dozens other people.

John gets busted, his wallets are known.
How does the FBI tie wallet A to me?
