i think "poggers" isn't actually used by normal Kids These Days, just the weird extremely online ones that would've been saying "roflcopter" out loud twenty-five years ago. "no cap," "based," etc on the other hand are just normal slang as far as i understand

I don’t think poggers ever left twitch containment, obviously kappa/kap/cap did fake edit: I had to actually looked this up, “cap”/capping meaning lying is a hip hop term that predates twitch, at least back to the ‘00s. however, it exploded in popularity alongside kapp/kappa with the similarly meaning “calling bullshit” in the late 10s.

I've seen pog used unironically but poggers only in the context of kids these days complaining about kids these days, like you'd use exaggerated leetspeak

VirusNewbie 1 hour ago | parent | prev | next [–] I’m going to go down fighting keeping unions out of software. It’s the hill i’ll gladly die on. You’re welcome to go work at a software union shop, like Boeing. Writing low quality software that kills people, great job security even if you are at fault for peanut pay. I’ll take my non union job any day. reply

rexpop 21 minutes ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: The secretive world of North Korean science fiction > SF is pretty much always about the current day. I can't comprehend this. Scifi is famously occupied with the future, and not the current day. Space travel, advanced technologies, artificial intelligences, and generally things that don't yet exist are par for the course. Most of SF is literally not about the present. Do you mean to say that SF's subtext reflects the zeitgeist at the time/place of its writing? reply

Unsafe for people who smoke pot and unsafe for people who like to let their kids play outside unsupervised. Looks like Canada is inheriting the worst parts of our politics.

fidotron 21 minutes ago | prev | next [–] I have a really controversial view about smoking: it has undeniable downsides but as a society we are now feeling what happens when a huge proportion of the population no longer experiences the cognitive upsides they used to get from nicotine.

verisimi 14 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] Yes, we can imagine this or that, but we don't find it from the article. Of course there is also the issue that no information about Antarctica can be confirmed by citizen journalists as the whole world (US, UK, Russia, China, etc) all agreed to preserve this continent and Antarctica can never even be felt explored by the public. Anyway, Antarctic information is certainly mediated for us. reply

DrFlipper 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–] Freedom is the key component of capitalism, in the purist sense. Including the freedom to trade the "right to repair" for other benefits, such as a superior vehicle due to higher integration, reliability and peace of mind knowing that any work will have been done by authorised repairers, lower up-front cost afforded by vendor lock-in, etc. If people wish to voluntarily trade vehicles without the "right to repair", that's their choice, that's capitalism. The state intervening in transactions one way or the other is a violation of the capitalist ideal. reply xg15 8 hours ago | unvote | parent | prev | next [–] I think in the current flavor of capitalism, the key component is "gently caress you, I got mine". reply surprisingly the first comment is grey and the second is not

MayeulC 7 hours ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: Portal 64 – A demake of Portal for the Nintendo 64 While I agree with the sentiment, and it's awesome that a lower-specced version of the game exists... > port [...] to consoles like Xbox original Uuh, in the name of energy efficiency, let's not. My smartphone is much more powerful and has a much lower power consumption than these systems. My Steam Deck even more so, though it's higher-power than a phone. Targeting energy-efficient, low power hardware should be the goal, not porting to inneficient obsolete HW, IMO (though it's pretty cool, and demonstrates that you can do a lot with little computing power). Still, I agree that something that runs well on old commodity hardware can run well on most existing hardware, reducing the need for hardware upgrades. But my point is, running ond old HW is probably counterproductive if you only value ecology. At best, you could emulate old HW with much more efficient modern HW, and integrate most of the system on a single low power chip. reply

A couple that rents owns zero property, but upon buying a home they do own property. Merely buying the home does not substantially change their net worth. reply

TheAceOfHearts 1 hour ago | prev | next [–] I can't wait for daily teeth brushing to be a thing of the past. It amazes me we've had so many technological advances while still having such primitive mouth cleaning solutions. There's people that basically never have to brush their teeth, why can't their magical bacteria be used by everyone? I recently asked a dentist in training and they told me the bacteria would die after eating the plaque. Even if you have to regularly re-add the bacteria, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal. You could make a lozenge which you suck on once a week, and it's still less effort than brushing daily. reply

it's almost like there are other reasons to brush your teeth than just preventing cavities iirc the natural acidity of your mouth is more important than the specific bacteria (higher acidity is a better environment for bacteria that cause cavities, lower acidity is better for the good bacteria) Improbable Lobster fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Sep 10, 2023 |
