Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the funniest impulse purchase you’ve made/seen someone you know make?
8·2 days agoI bought a turd shaped stress squeeze toy at Dollarama in Quebec for C$2 or C$3

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable companyEnglish
22·2 days agoGoogle started bringing fiber to neighboring towns and all of a sudden the cable company started offering speeds 3x faster for less money and AT&T built out a fiber network including in our town, which didn’t get Google for another ten years, and then only a franchise that was paying for the Google name.
I have only ever been able to tell when it was someone I did not want to have a crush on me, someone I was definitely not interested in. If it was a woman I was interested in, or even someone not on my radar but that I probably would’ve seen how things went had I known she was interested in me, I have not figured it out until years later, if ever. My now-wife had to come right out and tell me she was interested. I would not be surprised to find out there were people I’d completely missed hints from decades ago.
I remember seeing a stunningly beautiful woman at the grocery store, and I looked in my cart and saw lactose-free milk, lactose-free probiotic yogurt, and ultra-soothing toilet paper. I’m sure she was impressed.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the arguments *against* ending Daylight Savings Time in the USA?
3·10 days agoWe took my in-laws back to my father-in-law’s hometown on the west coast of France last year and it was kind of wild to have it not be dark out until 10 pm. A lot of times we didn’t have dinner until 8:30 or 9 because it didn’t feel that late.

142·11 days agoThey last tried DST “year-round” starting in January 1974 and people quickly hated it, with support dropping from 79% before it started to 42% three months in. Morning accidents increased and schoolchildren were injured or killed.
I don’t necessarily love the idea of the sun starting to rise as early as 4am in the summer, but I think if we’re going to stay with one we might as well stick to standard time year-round. We’d still have light past 8 PM where I live and it would mean activities better for the dark could start earlier. I see places wanting to take advantage of the warm weather for things like outdoor movies but they can’t start until after 9.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Every Terminal program should have a black background by default
20·13 days agoAre there any sickos that use black text on white?
IIRC that’s the default on macOS if the theme is in light mode instead of dark mode. So probably.
You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?
Wait there’s new King of the Hill?
Rarely; I think the last time was a live CD to try Linux on an older computer

Nostalgia@lemmy.ca•Does anyone else remember the magazine subscription "Highlights for Children"?English
31·15 days agoWe might’ve had a subscription. I think I mostly read it at pediatric doctor’s and dentist’s offices.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wonder what show has been played the most.
4·15 days agoI feel like it would need to be some relatively early show that has maintained a degree of popularity. Maybe an early cartoon that was seen as appropriate kid’s programming, like The Flintstones or The Jetsons.
So this is the strategy of putting 4 houses on your properties in Monopoly and never upgrading them to hotels because that way there are no houses for your opponents to buy

science@lemmy.world•New NBER research finds that US crash deaths rise by ~15% on dates of major album releasesEnglish
4·17 days agoI sure thought new albums came out on Tuesday when I was in high school and college, around the turn of the millennium. Am I misremembering that or did it change at some point?






















What do those letters in the ceiling mean? I’m especially confused by the h with a crossbar on it
