I'm on Lemmy World and I can see it too.

Hopefully, the transition to metric is soon and I can stop reading this same joke every week.

It will be enough to entertain the idiots who lack media literacy, and for the studios, that'll be enough. There's no meaning or subtext behind LLMs or Sora. It'll just be trained to mindlessly copy the pop culture it's fed.

Uwb is ultra wide band. It's what makes things like Air Tags work, tracking them down to a few centimeters in accuracy.

Biden is a flip flopping coward, but I fail to see how electing him would be "more depressing" than wannabe Hitler.

Sure, but people bring it up every time someone hallucinates or thinks they heard something that wasn't there. Everyone should have a CO detector, absolutely. But because some guy correctly guessed it 9 years ago, based on the size of OP's tiny 3'5" x 10' bedroom, people think it applies to every post.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning will make you weak, dizzy, cause headaches, nausea, a whole slew of symptoms. It's incredibly unlikely that the only symptom would be aural hallucinations while listening to white noise.

YouTube was a big one for this. The Windows phone app worked better than its Android and iPhone counterparts and Google blocked API access.

Here's a quote from the reddit thread about it

I worked with a guy who wrote 44 like that. Romanian fella. We did a job where we had to write 44 on the ground with paint, in public, quite often. I never told him, I just hope it made it onto some hysterical local Facebook group at some point.

So yeah, some people write fours like that. No need to create some weird Nazi conspiracy theory around this guy

The article isn't fear mongering about bats spreading disease at all. It's about their resistance to the viruses that they carry.

I think the nature cam also takes saturated photos, making it appear brighter and more yellow than it really is.

If you live in Southeastern Indiana, you need to know about this. They're trying to bulldoze homes and property in order to build a new highway connecting Markland Dam to US 50. If this is successful they're planning on adding a new bridge to Kentucky and they're hoping to make a continuous highway to Canada, so this happens, it will affect the entire state, and the nation.

They say it's for freight purposes, but reports have been found that it will only save truckers from six to fifteen minutes. The proposed routes will also require new lights/signage, will make traffic worse, we will have a new road that will deteriorate away because we don't have enough money to fix our current roads, and with a new highway, we'll get more billboards. It ruins the landscape and will only contribute to the destruction of our environment.

One of the state senators involved with the project is CEO of Maxwell Construction. He wasn't elected, he's taking over because Chip Perfect resigned after one year and endorsed him.

One proposed route would cut a farmer's property in half and require him to drive 30 miles to go around the highway and get to the other side of his farm.

I haven't seen this get any attention beyond the local level, but it's important that people know this is happening in our state. There's a group on Facebook for efforts dedicated to stopping construction and if you're local, there are tons of places you can go to sign petitions.
