i want to go back to the time when “advertising” meant a sign outside a store that didn’t even have text on it, to ensure accessibility for the illiterate

it’s hard to overstate how fortunate we are that the fundamental infrastructure of the internet is decentralized and extensible, it means it’s incredibly difficult for corporations to ever truly kill the free internet.

i maintain that a phone with lineageOS on it is by far the best smartphone experience you can have, it’s basically just all the best parts of smartphones and dumb phones in one.

11·3 hours agoso wait, people should be happy with the penis they have, but if they want a vagina they should get one? why shouldn’t we just strive to give everyone a body they’re happy with regardless of circumstances?
There are people who want a smaller penis too.

3·3 hours agoit should also be noted that modern “IQ” tests are much more detailed than just identifying patterns, it includes stuff like testing how well you can recount numbers forwards and backwards and whatnot.
You get scores for multiple different areas of cognition, like verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing Speed.For example i test highly in everything but working memory, where i got a hilariously low score of 80 which rather reflects how i feel when i forget food in the microwave oven…

1·4 hours agoit’s neither bad nor good, it’s just a relative score. If everyone except you was einstein then your IQ would be 1, but that doesn’t magically make you dumber than you are now.
Basically everyone is constantly getting smarter (due to stuff like education and better access to food), so you can’t even compare IQ scores over time

2·3 days agobut then the things added by tubular are so vital that i just switch to newpipe while things are broken
it also entirely depends on which state we’re talking about.
The norwegian state can absolutely be overthrown if the “overthrow the state” party gets 90% of the votes with 100% voter turnout, whereas the american government might well just nuke seattle if they see any third party getting more than 3% of votes…

2·3 days agothat’s the beauty of it, an e-bike will inherently help lessen any range anxiety you might feel, as it helps train your legs and heart!

1·3 days agothat’s one very severe reason, but there’s also stuff like being heavy or having huge fat tyres that add a shitload of friction.
I just want to highlight that you should make sure the bike works fine with things turned off and the battery inserted, so you don’t have to worry about being completely stranded if you run out of juice.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•can i still consider myself to be a valid asexual?
2·3 days agosee, what you did here by explaining your sexuality, is how you should approach it in general.
Pick whatever label gets the basic point across (sounds like demisexual is the most apt, but since it’s quite niche to know what it means “ace” might be more useful), and then if anyone actually needs to know the precise details you simply explain it to them like you did here.The label doesn’t define you, it’s just there to summarize your unique experience.

2·5 days agoyou almost certainly will, just make sure to get one that isn’t clunky. Some e-bikes, for whatever reasons, end up being impractical to pedal without assistence which IMO means they aren’t really bicycles any more.
I got a turbocheap department store e-bike that is almost literally just a normal bike with a motor and battery slapped onto it, and it’s been great. It’s not quite as easy to pedal as a light acoustic bike but it’s plenty pedal-able with the motor off even with the battery mounted.





it utterly baffles me why ads for context-relevant things are so uncommon, the only places i really see them are woodworking channels…
Yeah you get less money from those ads, but it also means your channel won’t implode in 3 years when you accidentally advertise a company that drives customers to suicide…
It also means you build a reputation as trustworthy, which especially these days is pretty valuable and will drive viewership.
