What really annoys me is the endless stream of scam, “earn money fast with 1 simple trick” ads

It’s literally a scam every single time and trying to report those fall into deaf ears (or blind algorithms) because hey, they’re paying to be shown, why should any high ranking executive care? “Oh, I can’t be held responsible, sorry!”

Trump hates it that he’s not number one most listened to Spotify artist, but he’ll tell you all about the millions of people who listen to his speeches there

So it’s theoretically possible that some of those anaerobic bacteria survived for 4 billion years and are plotting revenge against us right now?

Honest question: how do the typical bees (the big ones used for honey production) negatively affect native bee populations? Competition for polen?

That’s why kids should learn Pascal first!

If you see ripples, you’re about to die.

Yeah, but from which threat? Snake? Spider? Swimming kangaroo?

So I guess that’s partly why most mammals’ milk glands are in the abdomen. Other than primates, I only know that elephants also have mammaries on the breasts

Hell, we’ll even try to domesticate things that are anything but cute, like crocodiles, fish and spiders

Can I make t-shirts + shorts + flip flops become a new formal wear if it’s fashionable enough?

As for something more fashion-y, for men, I’d make something with lots of freedom of movement, aesthetics as pure afterthought. I hate stuff that shows my belly whenever my arms go up or legwear that won’t let me sit, crouch, stretch or anything without feeling like my fat ass can rip the fabric at any time.

Yup, that was something Sony was already doing back with the PS2, you could have Linux for PS2

Thanks for ignoring the mostly in my original comment and implying I was talking about all anime

Japan still mostly treats and creates anime as media for kids and teenagers

Even wasm relies on javascript and frankly, I see its existence as a failure of many layers. Machine code -> Operating system -> Browser -> WASM (emulated machine code)

I guess we just grew up and Japan still mostly treats and creates anime as media for kids and teenagers, not unlike how cartoons are still mostly “for kids”.

I don’t “hate” anime, like many people here, but some stuff just doesn’t entertain me anymore. I’m too old to find Dragon Ball Z and every other similar shonen even minimally entertaining. Hell, I was probably too old for that shit back when I was 19, I remember checking Bleach and giving up on episode 7 or whatever, though I think it was Naruto that “woke me up” when I was 16, I was watching it but wasn’t enjoying it for quite a while, until I just dropped it around ep 120, “this shit ain’t going nowhere”.

I’ve only watched Evangelion the first time during covid years, and it was clear it was two stories in one: the one they wanted to tell, which was kinda interesting, and their struggles with budget and how that affected the product.

The thing is that the anime that reaches mass appeal is meant for the masses, much like movies with mass appeal are the ones that require you to shut down your brain. The last 2 anime that I watched, enjoyed and wouldn’t mind watching again are Legend of Galactic Heroes and Taxi Driver, both are low on nonsense and bullshit.

More often than not, it’s just better to read the manga, when the anime’s based on one. Slam Dunk is a much better read than watching the anime, plus you end up knowing about the author’s other work, Vagabond, which is amazing.

Your comment reminded me of this very old meme

There are many ways to stop or deeply alter the Spanish Inquisition, like never getting christianity going, never getting islam going, ensuring the Arabs wipe out all the christian kingdoms of Andalusia, ensuring the Cordoba Caliphate doesn’t disintegrate, doing something to both Isabella I of Castille and Ferdinand II of Aragon so they don’t get into power.

That wouldn’t work because you’re a single person fighting against the same companies that finance climate change denialism. Hell, between understanding that leaded gasoline was harmful and banning it were at least 20 years

I’d invent the printing press during the classical era and watch what happens from there. I guess the folks at Carthage would also enjoy knowing about paper making, better wind-powered sails for ships and to be on the lookout for those “Romanes”

Gimme a fucking keyboard instead of extra screen size
