I always cut my pizza into 6 slices, i feel it has the best ratio of crust and topping

The vertical axis is labelled “activity per day”

At least in Finnish there are ways to communicate politeness without a separate “please” -word. For example, “Can I have…” (=“saisinko…”) is already considered polite enough.

I mean cartoon villains usually succeed up to a certain point. Trump is a desperate loser that cannot accomplish literally anything.

Nah we white people don’t know shit about spices

With a post-it note saying “be polite, don’t hallucinate”

Maybe better name would be “The Kurt Cobain murder weapon”

They want undisclosed, black-market advertising seems like

Even when buying alcohol you just have an employee walk 3 meters to you, you show your ID and the employee clears it. Thats how it is in some stores, others just prohibit alcohol completely.

In my local Lidl in Finland I was able to buy beer upto 2.5%abv without checkups, until about 18:00. The employee explained to me that during the day when they have more employees they let you buy it without checking, but in the evening they have less employees so less eyes on the self checkout.

In the Finnish news it had been said that a part of the deal is google will bring their own electricity, and that this halt is due to ecological investigations

Yea i get it. But like i’d rather eat them bugs than olives, for example, thats just how I feel

I’ve eaten thai-style fried crickets, they really weren’t that bad. I think you just have to turst that they indeed are edible, so its easier to think of them as food rather than bugs

Because units less than a litre are so common. 2ml of syrup, 4dl of flour, 12cl of wine, 0.5l of beer, etc. But things you measure by mass rarely go below 1 gram (in day-to-day life at home). Candy bar is 50g, a packet of cheese is 200g, a chunk of meat is a kilogram. Besides, most people just call it “a kilo” so the common units in the spoken language are “a kilo” when talking about mass and “a litre” when talking about volume

Where I live there is no scales in any stores, you just scan and pay. Well Lidl does have a scale for produce, but the scale is only active when measuring the product.

Heads up, your link has your google account tied to it, prompting me to message you… You can disable that on your youtube app’s settings

Wdym expensive, steam engines run on water

I think it will boil down to people leaving the internet, caused primarily by platform decay. The regular person realizes they are wasting their time looking at ragebait, ads and propaganda. The algorithm will no longer be able stimulate the user in a way that keeps them hooked and genuinely engaged. The influencers will be the last ones to quit, as they will be getting “engagement” by bots while regular users - mostly viewers who don’t post or comment much - keep steadily leaving, also taking their friends and family with them.

Edit: I will add a bit of hopefulness:

I do think social media advertising has a bit of a bubbly vibe to it, I think the effectiveness of social media advertising is highly exaggerated. I can see internet advertisements get scaled down in the future, thus keeping the mainstream internet going for a few more years longer than if they keep up the current levels.

I am also feeling hopeful that the internet has helped people find offline hobbies easier, so leaving the internet will be easier and less socially devastating. People are getting ready to go outside.

Final edit:

I don’t think internet will ever fully, permanently end. It has connected so many people from across the world based on so many different interests. For example, internet based gaming (selling, sharing, developing and playing together) is such a big and popular hobby, that there is no way in hell it will go away ever. The mainstream internet (meta-platforms, reddit, youtube, etc) will probably loose majority of their human users in the future, but as a whole I don’t think internet will ever loose 100% of its users.

Also why fines should always be based on income. A static, $100€ speeding ticket can only keep the poorest in order

I learned last week that in Ocarina of time, you can use the fishing rod to remove that fishing hole -keeper’s hat
