You can guarantee a random 10% of the world population all basic human needs, but you have to sacrifice a finger every time you make that deal; how many people will you help? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

OP, are you a billionaire trying to reframe global poverty as me being unwilling to chop my fingers off rather than you being unwilling to share your enormous wealth?

All I need to do is walk through solid objects. Got it. 😐

OP, did you have a stroke?

Isn't that Nick O'Teen? Shame on you, Nick. Teaching kids to smoke on behalf of your corporate masters.

Before 60, being naked in public is your problem. After 60, it's everyone else's.

YSK: In China, a growing number of people are avoiding Starbucks. Many prefer local owned brands. Starbucks corporate executives are angry about it. in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Local companies are out-competing the multinational on price, quality and local knowledge. Isn't this the free market working as intended?

'Start' talking? Did you all just forget about the previous talk of having him jailed?

What's the point of constitutional monarchies? Why even keep the monarchy in place if they aren't even doing anything? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

See? I knew we'd find a use for him.

Now I really want to answer your rhetorical question, because you've badly misunderstood how popes work.

Monarchs are like cardboard boxes. Someday they'll be useful again, you just know it.

I watched a youtube clip last night about scientists inventing a technology for giving tardigrades tattoos. It'll be useful in multiple non-tardigrade scenarios (obviously) but the news reporter knows how to catch my interest.

Would you be okay with AI users? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I might be okay with specific use cases, but overall no. Why do we need to invent users? Users are a thing that already exists. This is a solution desperately hunting for a problem.

Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices? (lemmy.world)
 

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

Is dessert a snack or a meal? (lemmy.world)
 

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

What are the levels of BBQing? (lemmy.world)
 

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?

Message bullets (lemmy.world)
 

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

Tesco's Laser-Etched Avocados to Save on Packaging Waste - Core77 (www.core77.com)
 

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. πŸ™‚

Alternatives to onion grating (lemmy.world)
 

I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?

Loki (spoilers) (lemmy.world)
 

I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?
