Okay I agree that subscriptions are dumb, especially when you already own something. And I know capitalism is a fucking hellhole.

However, they did not steal the money you paid them. It has been 1,279 days since April 11th 2021. You paid $2.15 total for the app, per your screenshot. Assuming you used the game every day, let’s break down that cost to cents per day. It works out to 0.168ths of a cent per day for ownership during this time. For a game you clearly enjoyed playing, you paid about a cent per week, which was used to pay the employees who were supporting the maintenance and possibly further development of the app. that money wasn’t stolen, it was used to support the thing that you enjoyed.

Does it suck that you can’t use it anymore? Absolutely!

Should you be able to own your purchases forever? Yes!

Is the system fucked? You better believe it!

Did they steal $2.15 from you? … no.

Years of nail biting

Edit: I mean also the genes for a different thumb shape that inherently has a shorter nail in the first place; but besides that, the nails that are even shorter than the others in this pic would be due to habitual nail biting

I’m obsessed with this photo. I love all the subtle changes in the colors of the reflections on the windows.

Were you just in the right place at the right time, or were you specifically trying to capture this?

This post led me down a 2 hour binge of various cave Wikipedia articles. I’m not complaining, it was really neat. Thanks for sharing this!

…no the question at the top of this comment thread is “who is it?”

And in which case, the answer is written in the subtitle of the article, a single click away. Literally the text when you load the page is:

"Celebrity Number Six’ Internet Mystery Is Solved

Idk the source, but if you zoom in, it looks like maybe the notch is the top of a speech bubble. So I think it’s an identical frame with the bubble on top of the last one.

I say this largely to convince myself it’s not worth staring at any more 😅

Women are you going out of town for the weekend of the day 😄

It suggested the emoji too

Hey have you seen this fixed?

I don’t have the setting enabled for mark read on scroll, but I am using the setting for mark read on peek. That isn’t working for me right now.

Hoping this is the same bug and we’re both waiting on the fix, rather than this being a case of patching the original bug and causing a new one 😅

So when you do a French braid in hair, you start off with three small sections. Every time you fold over the outer sections, you incorporate more hair into those sections. This differs from a normal braid, which doesn’t increase the size of the three parts of the braid as you go along.

French braiding flesh would require a lot more flesh. Also it wouldn’t look nearly as tidy because the other ends of the flesh (those not in the braid) are not attached to anything (i.e. a scalp) so it would be a loose tangled mess.

There’s easier ways to make something grotesque and cursed.

Gatekeeping the evolution of language: the type of internet comment everyone loves the most.

(This comment is sarcasm. Your gatekeeping adds nothing of value to the conversation.)

Yeah, don’t tell us what to do!

When my vitamin D levels were tested low, the doc told me to take 2,000 IBU daily.

~7000/day seems quite high to me. But I’m not a doctor.

I would consider if the cost of purchasing all this vitamin D - a lot of of which your body may be excreting rather than absorbing - is a worthwhile financial investment in your health. I don’t know anything about you, maybe it is.

TIL!

That said, reading the Wikipedia article, there very much were tapes made for repairing ducts.

It was commonly used in construction to wrap air ducts.[20] Following this application, the name “duct tape” came into use in the 1950s, along with tape products that were colored silvery gray like tin ductwork. Specialized heat- and cold-resistant tapes were developed for heating and air-conditioning ducts. By 1960 a St. Louis, Missouri, HVAC company, Albert Arno, Inc., trademarked the name “Ductape” for their “flame-resistant” duct tape, capable of holding together at 350–400 °F (177–204 °C).[21]

I know just what you’re sayin’…

This reads like a Rimworld post.

I don’t think there’s a Rimworld community on Lemmy and I’m not going on Reddit anymore so I’ll just throw this comment into the void and hope some fans are out there. 👋

Also in Rimworld terms the answer is corn (if monoculture) and send everyone to harvest at the first sign of blight.

But in both Rimworld and real life, a monoculture strategy isn’t sustainable. Diversifying via multiple food sources reduces your risk of disaster leading to starvation.

Sorry to be clear, I am not saying Linux sucks. I just don’t have an opinion on desktop operating systems. And I was tired of every other post on my feed being about operating systems instead of the dumb internet pictures that I love and crave.

Cool story, Miss Issippi.
