My car is made for it, and the e85 is 1/5th less expensive than standard gas.

Is e85 in a flexfuel car actually Satan or is everyone being a boomer about it?

Is it beans?

I like the idea of riddles in theory, but in practice they’re just tedious. 98% of the time the answer to the “riddle” wasn’t really knowable in the first place. They just want to ask you an essentially impossible question and watch you flounder.

Riddles need to be solvable, unambiguous, and based on tools you would expect your audience to have.

• If, even when I have the answer, I won’t know it’s the answer, your “riddle” is a waste of time.
• If, when I have come up with some other answer, and there is no particular reason it isn’t a valid answer (a common oversight being part of the riddle for example), your “riddle” is a waste of time.
• If your riddle depends on some random piece of sidereal astrological whatever, your “riddle” a waste of time.
• If your riddle is actually the set up for a joke, and you actually make me stand there for multiple minutes thinking about it before dropping the punchline, well, you have to know what you’re doing there.

So if you ask me if I like riddles, I’ll have no choice but to say “no”.

I am very interested! Thank you!

Gentleman pro tip my grandpappy taught me: If you’re a man following a woman on the street late at night, stop and tie your shoe laces together so she knows you won’t chase her!

That’s sort of what I was looking for! Thank you, you gave me a thread to pull.

I’m craving some piece of art that requires you to “meet it on it’s own terms” something that makes you sort of perform it yourself as you experience it. Examples:

-Hypnospace outlaw, a game where you sit at your computer and do computer stuff.

-This tabletop pen-and-paper type rpg I can’t remember the name of, where even the manual is disconnected, surreal, cryptic.

I want something like that, but much… more. I don’t know how to get this idea down. Maybe this will be my inspiration to do something creative for once in my life.

But if they didn’t have ads there is no chance users would ask for them. Ads are only ever user hostile.

The thing I like most about FOSS is how, while not always being the most user friendly, it’s never user hostile. Showing ads is user hostile behavior.

If everyone was going to just turn it off, they wouldn’t have bothered putting it there in the first place. Clearly most or at least many users won’t turn it off, by mozilla’s estimation.

I can’t believe how bad everyone seems to be at recognizing AI anything.

The top reply:

(And yes, the video appears to be AI. That is not what a Fox News chyron looks like, for one thing.)

The fuck you mean “appears to be AI”? It’s plainly AI. You don’t even have to dig into the details. Can you not hear the robotic edge on the voices, see the weird motion blur around the edges of objects, see the characters making off-model expressions?

I’m actually going to die of a stroke trying to explain to some why an obvious AI video is AI aren’t I?

Don’t forget the duress password feature. On graphene you can set up a second password that if entered, will immediately wipe and lock your phone.

I haven’t run into anything I can’t install with aurora store yet, and the apps on f-droid tend to be better than their play store counterparts when available anyway.

What’s an automatic wifi hotspot? You can certainly do a wifi hotspot “manually”

An interesting read. The FPAL has disbanded at this point unfortunately.

I fw remembering who was wrong this time, or more specifically what worldview leads to being wrong, the next time there’s a world moral crisis like

But one day they will “have always been against this” and I don’t intend to let them get away with it.

The r/conservative Charlie Kirk mourning post appears to have 41 poop emoji reddit gold stickers on it. Am I seeing that right?

When people are being cringe about flags, they’re always squirrely and evasive about what they mean by it. It’s often obvious that they support exactly whatever said country is doing, even the “bad stuff” but won’t admit it when pressed. You also see a lot of people who want to “reclaim” that flag, as if it has ever meant anything else.

All that to say, I’m surprised there isn’t a symbol (e.g. 👥) you can superimpose on a flag to signal “I mean the people who happen to live in this area of the world and cultural context, explicitly not the state”. Not that I think it’s a “good idea”, I’m just surprised it doesn’t exist.

I’ve said this before! Everyone could benefit from knowing at least a little sign language. It’s not very useful to me personally because no one knows sign language but imagine if everyone did and you could just sign something from across the street, or on the gun range, or while mowing the lawn. I feel like once a critical mass of people knew sign it would just sort of perpetuate culturally.
