Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the scariest shit you can think of?
7·2 months agoSome form of torture. The thing about torture is you can always add “and then…”
Psychological and physical
Imagine being forced to rip off your significant other’s fingernail.
And you might say “There’s no way I’d do that”
Sadly you will. Either to save yourself or them from more torture.
You will do it, we all would. That’s scary.
I’m half Mexican half Finnish. Strange mix. Pure white.
I understand the hardship
Random people do not think my father is my father.
I’ve been stopped multiple times by police walking with him to make sure I was okay when I was a kid. All good, just walking around the neighborhood with my dad lol.
Edit: It’s also funny growing up people asking me who our gardener was. Also my dad.
I remember my grandfather telling me a story about how he didn’t know which bathroom to use when he came to the US and someone told him to use the white.
Interesting
I’m a white hotel towel Mexican
Always thought it was strange to mark “White, Hispanic” on everything because that was an option always growing up. Like you all really do need to know my skin color don’t you.
If you didn’t know my last name you’d never guess I wasn’t “American”

6·2 months agoI remember watching a show called deadliest warrior. They had a Spartan on it. Their shield would fuck everyone up.
Unless you’re using a two handed weapon having a defensive weapon on your non dominant hand was extremely powerful
If I remember right the shield was a better weapon than their sword.
Sure going against a weapon designed to beat a shield is a different scenario
Two Spartans, one with a shield other with a sword. I’d put my money on the Spartan with the shield.
The swordman has to get a clean strike or they are just going to get bashed to death

politics @lemmy.world•Trump says tariffs are going to be enough to pay down national debt. It likely won't even touch the sides
2·2 months agoYou have to turn debt into debit and then flip everything to get credit. It’s simple.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Be honest. You were also fooled by what you thought that you saw
15·2 months agoIt’s because of the tree’s “shadows” on the lake.
There is a dirty spot right where a shadow should be on the right trees and the tree in the yard blocks all the shadows of where the other trees should be.
If you removed the tree and cleaned the wall it wouldn’t look like a lake at all.
Every animal in the comic should be a horseshoe crab.

News@lemmy.world•Hundreds may have been exposed to rabies at bat-infested cabins in Grand Teton National Park
24·2 months agoA bat can bite you in your sleep (more likely to bite a human if rabid) and you may not even know you were bitten because they have tiny teeth.
Definitely worth notifying everyone that could have came in contact.
Sludgeyy@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Newsom communicating the only way Trump can understand. Nah I'm kidding. Trump has dementia he would think he wrote this.

3·3 months agoChimpanzees are one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.
Chimpanzees are known to be cannibals
Does that make cannibalism “natural”?
You can’t cheat sound placement
If you want the T-rex to roar to the back left of you and then run around and roar to the very right of you. You need two speakers placed exactly in those spots.
With just a sound bar under the TV the roar is always going to be in front of you
Does a sound bar ruin the Jurassic Park movie? Of course not.
But 7.1 gives you front middle, front left, front right, middle left, middle right, back right, and back left.
12.1 goes a step further with ceiling speakers for each speaker creating more atmosphere
If you want good full sound then a sound bar is fine. And most people would be really happy with that.
But if you want directional surround sound you have to place speakers in locations where the noise needs to come from. No other way around that.

Would be a great bumper sticker

You’re assuming people who are forced to buy into the suburban hell have a choice.
If a person had a choice between a 100k house in a suburban hell or a 100k house in secluded heaven. That they pick the suburban hell.
Have you seen the housing market in the US?
It’s also funny how “Suburban” meaning has changed. It’s supposed to be non-urban.
But with these “suburban” neighborhoods in cities. It has basically became a word for a neighborhood with houses built next to each other and less about where it’s located.
Suburbs use to be an inexpensive option as opposed to urban living.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Have most people never seen a full starry night sky
1·3 months agoHighly recommend going to see it in person. Pictures can’t do it justice.
It’s like the grand canyon. You can look at pictures but being there to actually see the scale is a different experience.
It’s honestly mind blowing

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Have most people never seen a full starry night sky
101·3 months ago
I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.
Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.
I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.
I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.
