And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.

Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?

In Germany you can always tell if a historic thing was good or bad by whether it started or ended in 1933.

Technically, the oath says not to ever perform an abortion.

I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.

Though there may be a loophole, since Hippocrates seems to acknowledge the existence of surgeons (“I will not use the knife, […] but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein” ), and his oath doesn’t seem to apply to them.

no or fewer children

So… they killed other people’s children?

I used to think people stay years on death row. Are you saying you can stay morbidly obese on prison food?

TIL I learned these things are called balloons.

That’s the sensible thing to do. You can’t do everything. So if you’re going to fail anyway, you might as well do it lying down.

It’s interesting that even on lemmy people aren’t so open-minded to give eating insects a chance.

We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.

I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

Meanwhile every other person:

gets shot for not following an officer’s orders in .5 seconds

I don’t see evidence that Hamas attacked the base, either. Is a hole in a tent and a picture of a tank that could be taken anywhere there is sand supposed to be evidence?

I didn’t find that in the Twitter UI and wondered why OP thought it was an AI. Thanks for sharing.

The tweet: (Is the preview working for you? For me, it’s not).

The game is called geoguessing and those who do this regularly are crazy good at it, taking into account the kind of trees you see, where the sun and shadows are, even the color of the dirt and the pavement.

Tom Scott did something similar and was frightened too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGqEBvlmFAQ&pp=ygUSdG9tIHNjb3R0IGZvdW5kIHVz

Or – just a thought – you’re reasonably confident that the shit you wrote actually works.

Isn’t that also the shorter route, because you’re circling the Earth where it has less circumference?

Also the North Atlantic Tracks are there. Might also play a role.

Judging by eye on the map projection OpenStreetMap uses, the direct line between Japan and Hawaii is about one quarter of the westbound straight line between Japan and Hawaii.

Well, I just typed “1 gallon in liters” into google and took the first number, because I couldn’t be bothered to deal with your system of measurement more than necessary. My point stands regardless of the exact volume of one gallon.

OF COURSE THERE IS MORE THAN ONE DEFINITION OF GALLON

Imagine getting Diesel in Germany. “Sorry, that was actually 15 liters of regular gas. ¯_(ツ)_/¯”

Edit: Ok, it’s not as bad as I imagined, since this picture seems to be about E15/E10, not diesel/regular.

How fucking big are American canisters? In Germany the regular size is 5l, [Edit: just shy of a bit more than] one gallon.
