Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you think of imitation and lab-grown meats?
2·3 months agoI’ve had a few miracle burgers. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. It just kind of tasted like a mediocre fast food hamburger. I don’t eat burgers that often anymore so when I do have one I want it to be really good so I probably won’t get another one unless there’s some great innovation in plant based meat in the future.
I suppose it accomplishes its goal in that it does taste like a hamburger, just not a particularly great one
I kinda feel like the name is part of the problem there. If someone says they’re serving me something called a “miracle” burger the expectation created is that it will taste exceptionally good, or at least better than average

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I beat the roaches in this house?
8·3 months agoHave you tried fumigation? Like bug bombs or getting an exterminator to do it professionally? You might have to leave your house for a couple of days but it would attack all of them at once that way

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What if a billionaire wants to help you?
5·3 months agoTell them you want a meeting in person to discuss exactly what the investment plan is and what they envision coming from it. If they really wanted to invest “millions” then they won’t mind meeting in person

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In the United States, what makes a 'libertarian' right wing?
171·4 months agoLibertarians are an odd bunch these days. They claim to be against “big government” but they want to privatize everything which would essentially make giant corporations into a new authoritarian government.
The love to talk about being able to take your business elsewhere if you don’t like the service your getting, but that doesn’t do a lot of good if your house burns down because you were behind on your fire protection plan and no one will come to put it out.
It’s basically become an entire party that believes the idea that “survival of the
fittestwealthiest” should be the only law

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If you put a "s" in front of the "sh" in chivalry, they turn into a "k" like in schism
5·4 months agoWhy would you add an “s” to the word “chivalry” though?
I don’t think it sounds stupid at all! I looked up some info on this and it appears the technology already exists in that RF and Infrared chargers can charge a device across the distance of a room already. I would worry about the safety aspects of the average consumer having access to some kind of wireless charging “router” though. With wifi if someone sets something up incorrectly the worst that could happen is that they just don’t have good wifi, or they inadvertently give all the houses around them access to it, or someone hacks into it and steals their data. What would happen if someone manages to set up a charging router incorrectly? You could have overheating issues that could lead to battery degradation or even injuries. If some nefarious person gained access to it they could tell when Aunt Sally is using her rechargeable dildo, or they could make someone’s TV remote blow up in their hand, or set someone’s phone on fire in their pocket possibly?
I’ll be honest I’m no expert on such things so this is all speculation on my part. I’m just very paranoid about this kind of thing. I suppose such a router could be restricted to only emmit a safe level of charging power but wouldn’t that mean some items charge quickly while larger items take hours or even days to get a full charge?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The name "seagull" implies the existence of landgulls, airgulls, and firegulls.
501·5 months agoI think a “landgull” would just be a pigeon

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why do some people put a space before a question mark or exclamation point?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Hot sauce is for Dad to protect his food from scavenging by lesser beings
5·7 months agoI get the hottest Indian food I can when I go out lol I’ve gotten so used to it that even the hottest stuff they have doesn’t seem that spicy to me anymore! I’ve started making my own dishes at home now with habaneros and I love it! I just made a post in another community with my new batch of pickled habaneros that I’ve been putting on everything lol

21·7 months agoI don’t get it. Hot sauce just makes things more delicious
It sounds like the employees are the bottom level of some kind of scam. A company that has so little faith in itself that it forces their employees to act as customers is either on the verge of ruin or just completely unethical. They’re definitely getting some kind of kick backs from this.
I’m sure they have found some kind of shitty technical loophole that makes it legal somehow, but you might still report it anonymously to the employment commission since it is 100% unethical and a serious conflict of interests.
Either way if possible find somewhere else to work as soon as you can. Once these people have bilked you out of as much of your paycheck as they can they will decide your no longer a valuable company asset

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Rewarding kids for pulling their teeth out may not be one of our better ideas
14·7 months agoThat sounds more like a personal problem than an issue with the time honored Tooth Fairy method lol I never felt the need to rip out my own teeth as a child

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There's probably some kind of deal between cellphone and pants makers to keep pockets small
10·7 months agoWhat are you talking about all my pants have giant pockets that the whole phone fits in with room to spare

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"I was born in the wrong generation" has turned from edgy to a sad reality for some
9·7 months agoThere are some aspects of life that make me wish I was born at a different time than I was, and other things I like now that I wouldn’t want to do without. I don’t think it’s as black and white if an issue as this makes it seem.








It’s all just more of the MAGA crowds overwhelming need to “own the libs” at all costs. It’s kind of like the flat earth movement. It started off as a joke perpetuated by a bunch of trolls with nothing better to do, but once it grew to a certain point a bunch of people joined in who were too stupid to understand that it wasn’t supposed to be this serious. Now everyone in power is too embarrassed to try and undo any of the harm so they’re all just doubling down even though they know it’s all bullshit because they’d rather everyone think they were right even if it destroys society than to ever admit they might have made a mistake.
