Sleep Token put out a song called "Vore" recently and all the kids are crowing about it. It's boring af, but it's literally about vore, so that's something I guess.

I don’t use fabric softener in the wash, so I’ve always depended on dryer sheets to soften my clothes and it’s worked out great for decades. Snuggle was my favorite brand of dryer sheets, but ever since the parent company got bought out by Henkel a few years ago, the texture of the sheets changed from an actual fluffy towel sheet to a thin plastic-y paper-like thing with little to no softening agents or scent on it. I think the only thing they’re doing now is preventing my clothes from sticking together in the dryer and nothing else. I switched to Bounce for a bit, but even Procter & Gamble seems to have jumped on the “gently caress you, consumer” train with similar thin sheets. The scent is actually there in Bounce, but you have to use more sheets to get the same results one or two sheets used to do. I was using like four or five sheets of Snuggle when they changed every load to get the results one sheet used to do. Now I’m using house brand sheets that seem to have kept the old formula (for now) because the name brand stuff is garbage now.

mawarannahr posted:You can dodge the shittiness by not using dryer sheets, they're like pouring lotion on your clothes Yeah, been using sheets for decades and my clothes last forever and I know how sheets work  Also, I don’t use liquid fabric softener in the wash as stated because of what that article says (lipid buildup over time), but also because liquid softener is prone to building up and clogging your drain over time. It’s also apparently very hard to remove from gray water for reuse. One sheet a load is (or was lol) perfectly fine for my needs.

Google image search through chrome can absolutely lick my ball sack in 2023. I used to be able to track down exactly what I was looking for: a source. Now if I use the context menu to "Search image with google" it brings up Google Lens. A piece of poo poo that takes up the entire right side of my screen. It never gives me a real source for anything. If I took a picture of Ben Affleck and ran it through Google Lens it would snipe what shirt he was wearing and show me a bunch of ads to buy it. It's so loving annoying. I just want to know where the image was originally sourced from you chucklefucks.

drhermes posted:Apparently Japanese wear cloth masks whenever they have a cold or are at risk. Works for them. They'll find all kinds of reasons to mask up. I had students wear them to cover up acne, get some public anonymity when they didn't wanna be bugged, etc. I even had a student who wore one because he had bad breath that day. Alao this is tangentially related, but most Japanese people cover their leisure reading material with non-description blank paper (like I had to do with textbooks back in the day) presumably because (in addition to protecting the book) it discourages random people from rushing over and asking about what you're reading. I think that's neat.

aniviron posted:The answer seems to be no, weirdly enough. Millennials are getting more liberal with age, if the few surveys on the matter I have seen are accurate. Probably going to turn old and crusty at some point, but buck the trend of Xers & Boomers going hard right. We as a cohort have much less to conserve. The ones who do manage to get on the property ladder still get brainworms because of taxes and then get sucked in to the right from there

The people all about conserving things are centrist Democrats who love Joe Biden and want American politics to be like The West Wing. Modern American reactionaries are counterrevolutionaries who basically want to throw out the traditional idea of America and replace it with something more like an interwar European nationalist society.

The convenience store closest to me has raised prices on 20 oz bottles of soda so much that they are now identical in price to a 2 liter. I'll never get through 2 liters of cola before it goes flat because I only use small amounts of it for occasional lovely mixed drinks, but I still feel compelled to get the 2 liter and lug the bastard home so I don't feel like I'm "wasting money".

Returning to Google - Google Translate. Used to be if you highlighted a word in the translator, it would automatically show you its dictionary definition and a list of possible translations to the other language. Now that absolutely essential feature is hidden behind a link that opens up a side window and only then are you allowed to ask for details and they are displayed in a much inferior vertical layout that makes them less legible.

This bothers me a lot. Old Translate worked perfectly for attempting to translate poetry or dig into the nuance of something in the native language. Want to know what the double entendre a native speaker might automatically know? Highlight and look at the synonyms in both languages. Want a better way to phrase something than the literal translation? It was simple.

Triikan posted:Bing and DuckDuckGo also do not show Oglaf.com I just had a look and I'm not an expert but they don't appear to be doing any of this. They don't have a robots.txt (it's been obsolete for a while apparently); they don't send a header requesting the site not be indexed. They do have a meta tag in the page source: <meta name="robots" content="FOLLOW,ARCHIVE"> which afaik means they are giving search engines permission to add the site to their indexes.

Apparently the issue is that the landing page with the age warning is set to "do not index", and as it's the page that pops up for every new visitor, it causes the robots to ignore the site.
