It looks the most satisfying to touch

There's a non-zero chance both sides are grippy so it doesn't matter which way they are put on.

Notice how even with the foot pointed straight out, there are still wrinkles of fabric on the bridge of the foot which leads me to believe it can be worn in the other direction as well

I hope you aren't playing any competitive games because wireless introduces extra latency and makes you play worse

I personally got ahold of the final version of the source code to Ryujinx after it was pulled from GitHub and put it on archive.org and I'm literally a random nobody who had nothing to do with the project so you are very incorrect. It was almost immediately picked up by other developers and is still seeing development to this day

Okay nobody else is going to link it? I'll do it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8fgNixllFJg

I wouldn't even download apps you don't feel comfortable with because the permissions they are granted are agreed-upon at the time of download and you are also boosting the download and usage metrics simply by installing it and opening it once.

It's also extremely unlikely that an application such as X could ever be reported enough to have anything happen. I'm sure it's on a manually approved list

To this very day, iOS dictation still inserts U2 instead of you two. I had to manually set a correction to get it to mostly stop

We're literally talking on Lemmy/Piefed right now, which would continue to work so I would just come here for recommendations on which search engines and websites to use as alternatives lol

Don't read into it too too much. It's better experienced knowing as little as possible, but things are absolutely not as they seem

Everyone saying this is AI generated is dumb

This meme has been circulating for at least 12 years

Here's a different version of it on shutter stock from 2012 https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/sleeping-positions-part-one-122824720

 

I was introduced to https://emojikitchen.dev/ today. Let the shitposting begin!

 

Now that we know the 'Duty To Warn' letter written by Stephen Spoonamore is misleading per Snopes as discussed here: https://lemmy.world/post/22317681, I figured it was worth mentioning there is another unrelated letter with a similar message that seems more credible. The letter is linked in the article, but here's a direct link for the curious: https://freespeechforpeople.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/letter-to-vp-harris-111324-1.pdf

 
 
 

A healthy human liver contains 575 international units (IU) of vitamin A per gram while a polar bear's liver contains between 24,000 and 35,000 IU per gram. Compare that to the tolerable upper level of vitamin A intake for a healthy adult human: 10,000. Signs of toxicity generally occur when approximately 25,000 to 33,000 IU are consumed.

Illness severity depended on how much liver the explorers consumed, but symptoms typically included drowsiness, sluggishness, irritability, severe headache, bone pain, blurred vision and vomiting. While milder cases merely involved flaking around the mouth, some accounts reported cases of full-body skin loss. Even the thick skin on the bottoms of a patient's feet could peel away, leaving the underlying flesh bloody and exposed. The worst cases ended in liver damage, hemorrhage, coma and death.

Lightning sprites

Lightning sprites literally look like something out of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and they're frankly horrifying! I can only imagine what ancient civilizations must have thought.

I ran into this while taking geology courses at university, and the lack of attention to detail by the developers is frankly insulting.

EDIT: The red line is what the developers did. The green line is what they should have done for realism. Explanation in the comments.

 

I got a lot of push-back on a comment I made here about how bigger trucks/suvs are the primary cause the increasing pedestrian death-rate in America so apparently more people need to see this video.
