Yep when I first joined I thought it stood for main Instance.

That is some surprisingly good VFX for a meme. I wonder if the background is fully CGI or if they recreated it and cut.

While this is funny, I’m pretty sure it isn’t real (or it was intentionally written poorly)- It doesn’t make any sense in Chinese either, and most people in Hong Kong know English at least somewhat.

You can do that? I don’t use Spotify so I didn’t know.

Assuming an average of 4 minutes per song, that is 7 years and 8 months of music. I wonder how much time the ads would add?

Perfect, if your playlist doesn’t give you severe whiplash every few minutes you’re not doing it right.

HOW DO YOU YELL WITHOUT CAPSLOCK?

I need multiple layouts because I’m bilingual.

I need the other languages, instead I disabled the hotkey to swap.

A similar thing I’ve run into where a feature that usually wouldn’t get activated much gets in the way because of games making you input weird patterns is the Windows language swap hotkey, alt-shift. I play a game that uses alt and shift a lot, and involves quite a bit of typing, so I kept getting confused why my language was suddenly different. Took me ages to find out why.

Here’s some music to get you into the festive mood.

Same way as English, by combining preexisting words. For example, ether + net + port = ethernet port. In this case the first two characters (that’s what they’re called) mean “net” and “road”, combining to mean “network”.

I think adding new characters is very, very rare. Would be kinda like adding a new letter to the alphabet.

I would say that getting healthier and fitter is absolutely useful, and so is entertainment.

But anyways, some sports can be useful for training purposes (Ever heard of the Firefighter Olympics? It’s really cool).

Also there’s also stuff like people jogging/biking to go places, and sailing maybe can also fall into this category though I don’t think it’s a thing anymore. (IIRC in the 1700s there was a sort of sport where ships would race each other across the Atlantic to deliver stuff as fast as possible. Not sure though, take with grain of salt.)

Motorsports have no defensive player and do not involve much physical movement (unless you count the car’s movement).

Giving a cat a bath involves a defensive player (the cat) and significant physical movement (depends on the cat’s mood).

The main advantage of early guns wasn’t that they were more powerful, it’s that they were easy to use. You can train someone to fire a gun in a day, while it takes months of training just to get an archer strong enough to draw a bow.

Also the whole “the Europeans were dirty diseased peasants” thing isn’t accurate, and I have to say that IMO the right response to racist depictions of indigenous people as unwashed savages isn’t to just turn around and say “actually the stereotypes are correct it’s just that it’s about the Europeans this time”.

And Indigenous people had more advanced technoglogy than many give them credit for but "The Europeans were technologically behind indigenous people in nearly every way. " is just blatantly wrong.

I do think you’re right though that without smallpox and other diseases the Europeans wouldn’t have colonised the Americas, though there were several other major factors in it.

P.S. I’m not a historian, grain of salt, etc.

Oh neat. I watched the anime version a while ago, but I didn’t read the original. If I ever get back into the series I’ll check your community out.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

The technology behind it isn’t new, but The Thought Emporium is a Youtuber who:

1: DIY-d a genetically modified virus to cure his own lactose intolerance (successfully)

2: Is currently working on a biological computer that runs on animal neurons.

3: Has livestreams where the viewers submit ideas (like making tomatoes spicy) and he designs DNA to accomplish it.

Also he helped shut down a scam health product that contained radioactive material which isn’t particularly futuristic (actually it reminds me of the “radiation is good for you” craze in the early 20th century) but I wanted to mention it anyways.

You can create communities on instances other than Beehaw. Beehaw has some restrictions which include not being able to downvote and not being able to make new communities, so yeah it’s an intentional decision on their part.
