-for humanity to survive, it must eliminate the rich

-pineapple can go on pizza. You can put whatever you want on pizza. You don't have to like it for it to be a valid topping. Some people just hate things because they heard about it online.

-new York pizza is not the best pizza in the universe.

  • the people who want to change the date of celebrating Halloween to the last Saturday of October (or anything similar) are childhood hating assholes who think that it's more important to keep the capitalistic society going than celebration human culture. They would rather things be convenient for them and their bosses than to let people celebrate things when they please. There's also probably a bias against non Christian religions. If you find it inconvenient you should be mad at the system that makes it inconvenient for you to do something on a Tuesday night, not a holiday that's centuries older than your job. Work should work around holidays not the other way around.

Pineapple is fine on pizza in small amounts. Sliced tomatoes don't belong on pizza because they are mostly water and make the pizza soggy.

Apple products aren't any better than anything else, it's just marketing and branding. They're like the Starbucks of computers.

You should have to get a special license to drive something as big as a modern pickup truck.

And you should have to have a justifiable reason to buy and own one.

And there should be restrictions on where they can be driven.

Basically most people shouldn't have pickup trucks.

Phones have become boring and are all the same. I want options like we had with Nokia back in the day. So a music phone, gaming phone, business phone etc. but with a modern OS. All we have now are camera phones. Google announcing that they've added a second possible function to The Button in settings just doesn't excite me. Smartphones have become shit and it's not because we've perfected them or some shit, it's because chasing lines on marketing graphs and playing follow the leader has resulted in no choice anymore and everything being lowest common denominator, mass produced slop.

camera phones

Why are all "modern" phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back. I just want a phone with no cameras. Even 1 might be O.K., so long as it's on the phone's backside.

Why are all "modern" phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back.

Because different lenses are good at different things. On a three-lens setup, one is usually a telephoto lens for distance, another is a standard wide-angle lens for normal photography, and the third is an ultrawide angle for capturing more of a scene and for macro ultra-close-up photography.

Also you can film in 3D using two of the three.

Multiple lenses are a big part of why phone images are as high quality as they are these days.

And the one on the front is obvious, it enables things like video chat, selfies, and sometimes facial recognition (though that can also work by infrared and lidar).

100% with you on this. All I need is a QR code scanner. I don't care about the pixel count, I want everything in my phone to be in performance

Dampening is making things wet. Damping is reducing oscillations in something.

Every time I hear or read people using them interchangeably is infuriating.

Your opinion of Monty Python is bad, and you should feel bad.

The word Data was originally a plural word, and should be again, for all time

  • ISO 8601 (e.g., 2025-05-23) are the only correct date formats.
  • We should stop using time zones and daylight saving.
[โ€“] wischi 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Stop using timezones? So every day would actually be two weekdays because at some random point in time it would switch date during the day. Let's meet next Monday wouldn't even specify a single day anymore in most countries. And there is no real benefit to stop using timezones, just downsides. Yes you'd know which time it is anywhere but you still wouldn't know of they are awake or not and have to either look it up or remember it - the same you have to do now.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

No. Let's go for the craziest option. Continuous time zones! Your clock changes a bit every mile east or west you go.

The race of a voice actor doesn't matter

I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there's a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don't. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and ...yeah he could probably pass but that's...well it'd be a much easier call if the character and the VA's "race" matched.

(In the star trek universe this wouldn't matter at all, I'm only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)
