Yes, and the tabs are all nuts 🥜 and the brain monkeys 🐒 are after them! Get away from my thoughts naughty monkeys 🤨

It’s interesting because you can kind of tell whoever made that 4 panel thing must not have a clue about memes. There’s literally nothing left of the “Gru’s Plan Meme” format. It’s just 4 panels with a punchline. In fact I think it’s literally just borrowing arms from Gru 🤣

See, this is why I keep struggling when I’m telling someone about something I heard on here and they ask if it was on reddit

“No… it was on erm… well… it’s this other place. It’s not reddit… thank God it’s not reddit but it’s called erm… well it was Mbin and then that shut down and then it was kbin and now I’m on fedia.io but actually it’s lemmy… but it’s part of the fediverse… I think? it’s… yeah it’s like reddit basically but it’s not… anyway this asteroid is going to zip by the earth later today. Here’s a live youtube page that’s tracking it” 🤣

Wow, I had a look around on Google maps for “solar panels in NW China’s Qinghai Province”… it’s incredible and so vast and there’s so many other massive solar and wind farms everywhere as well. How do they keep them clean? Surely output must degrade over time no? There’s even one where they made it into the shape of a giant horse. I guess that must be the logo of the energy company? Amazing…

Yep

1 - Squeeze paste into mouth so you can sense exactly how much you’re using. 2 - Wet toothbrush (because everyone knows that magically removes anything nasty in the bristles). 3 - Put in mouth and spread paste around and only then switch toothbrush on. 4 - Divide mouth into 8 segments and brush 2 segments at a time till the brush signals 30 second mark. 5 - Get really bored at how long this is taking. 6 - Either tough it out to the 4 stop/starts signalling the end of 2 minutes or give up half way through and brush everything really hard for 5 seconds.

It’s like some switch is just flicked off. I’ve had it happen mid bite! Nom nom… click… done with this forever.

This is so accurate. I also get the feeling that the memory is removed even faster if I cared in any way about it.

Oh, a couple of nights ago I saw this YT short about how you can just scrunch up some tinfoil and rub it on your metal taps and shower heads and it removes all the limescale. Tried it immediately and it worked! However, then everything went blurry and in a fever dream state I cleaned my whole house till 3:30am…

If you have half a brain

Maybe it’s my age (its definitely my age) but although I used to think Neuschwanstein was magical, now I just think of all the steps you must have to climb to get to anywhere in there.

Thanks for that. It’s only a big deal for me to switch because Windows is all I’ve ever known so there’s some ingrained inertia there. I am genuinely curious though.

I can’t believe I’m asking this but why?

Nice 🙂

That’s less useful thank you 🤣

That’s really useful thank you 🙂

I was just being honest.

I’ll be honest, I was going to post a two word crappy comment like “No thanks” mainly because the amount of blatant Linux boosting is too damn high on Lemmy and it’s irritating. However, then I remembered how much happier I am here on Fedia.io since leaving reddit and it reminded me of the value of questioning established norms. I jumped onto ChatGPT and asked it to lay it all out for me. Which would be better for me, Linux or Windows? I was surprised at how positive it was about Linux and particularly Mint and it got me interested.

In the positive column it listed:

Speed and Efficiency Security and Privacy Customization and Control No Forced Updates or Reboots Free and Open Source (no licenses to pay) Ideal for Developers or Tinkerers

In the more challenging column (related to me being a user since the 80’s!) it listed:

Software Compatibility Gaming Driver Support Learning Curve

Does that sound about right?

It also suggested I could try it with no risk or cost by booting into Linux from a USB stick without installing it. It also said I could do it via a virtual machine or a dual boot which is interesting.

I don’t think Windows has quite given me a good enough reason to leave yet but I am curious now…

Done :)

I find that my short term memory is directly connected to how inconvenient it would be to forget. It feels like my brain is basically trolling me “Ahaaa… you wanted to remember this didn’t you! Well, how about I block the memory and give you a vague sense of unease instead? Don’t worry, the minute you don’t need this information anymore, I’ll give it back to you” (laughs in Disney villain).
