Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Eventually, you don't worry as much how you look in photos, and worry more about how you look in x-rays and scans.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Hummus and peanut butter are close relatives
3·2 days agoJust check the ingredient list on the packaging, if they have it. At least here in the Netherlands, “normal” peanut butter contains more palm fat than peanut and it contains quite some sugar as well. I can taste the sugar and dislike it, but then I grew up with “100%” peanut butter, containing only peanuts and nothing else, so I may be used to something weird compared to my countrymen.
From what I’ve gathered, peanut butter in the USA contains a lot of sugar, too.

12·2 days agoIt’s just a joke word combining “ja” and “nein”. It’s like English’ “yesn’t”.
I feel some passive aggression, here.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The gaming industry didn't remove cheat codes because they broke game balance, they removed them so they could sell those exact same advantages back to us as microtransactions.

Not from what I’ve seen, sadly.

It was Quake 3: Arena for us in college, and no I’m not that old we played something quite retro back then already

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there any such thing as "edutainment" shows for adults?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•AI investment should go towards live audio translation. Letting anyone in the world speak to anyone else, with no lag, in their own language, with just some earbuds would be revolutionary for humanity

If you’re translating 日本語はチャットに入りました。
EDIT Mine would even be “Japanese as context the chat as destination entered (conjugated to polite)”…

3·5 days agoAbout 45% of all world’s languages are like this, it’s the most common order! English (and some other European languages) are the weird ones out!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it just me or does it seem Google is either AI filled or becoming obsolete? Is there an up and comer that can be what Google used to be? Or are we stuck oogling stuff forever?
1·5 days agoThat’s not always true, point in case is open source software, but it’s good to look into where a company gets its profit from if any.
Well good news, DuckDuckGo has been profitable with privacy respecting ads for a long time, now.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The downfall of company logos
1·7 days agoI cannot find a Facebook logo like that, and it looks like Balenciaga did the reverse of most, here.
But yeah, in the 2000’s and early 2010’s it was profitable to look radical, now it’s profitable to look professional, so guess what happened? (:

1·13 days agoI think they’re referring to husbandry and pets.
Okay I’ve heard some elderly say this unironically. That’s sad. Hmm… I should call my grandma sometime, maybe come over for some tea and biacuits…
