Nice idea - I remember on reddit some subs had a rule that required exact source headlines only, no user-written version. Lemmy doesn’t seem to have that restriction.

Congrats, I’ve been reading news headlines since I was a kid in the 60s.

If you had been an adult during a decade or two before the Internet you would know that a headline used to sum up the basics of a story. For example, picking a random 1980s headline: “Six US embassy aides escape from Iran”. Nowadays that would be more like, “US admits Iran plot.”

Yes, I don’t get how watching videos on tiny screens is so popular. Seems like self-imposed misery.

Looks the same to me on a PC. Up/down arrows still adjust the volume. Scroll wheel on my mouse scrolls the entire screen as always. Do the changes only affect touchscreen devices?

I prefer Van Halen’s versions of Pretty Woman and California Girls - to some this is sacrilege but I like Eddie’s guitar work.

Quite a few famous songs people think are the originals were actually covers of songs by musicians who never got famous. Some of Elvis Presley’s hits were older blues songs. “I Love Rock & Roll” by Joan Jett was originally done by a group called The Arrows. “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” was originally recorded by a guy named Robert Hazard. Who?? Yeah, exactly lol.

I’ve never understood reading on the toilet, or nowadays playing on a phone. I sit down, shit, wipe, I’m gone. The whole process takes me like 2 minutes and I don’t go in there til I’m ready. Seems like there are much more comfortable places to read. Am I some kind of mutant with a lucky metabolism? I just don’t get that whole concept.

LOL where can you find $4k/month? My dentist said her office rent in W. Seattle was $11k/mo.

American here, but this photo feels like a legit parody of American eating habits. If I were gonna make fun of us I would use this exact image LOL.

Trump should know how to recognize tapping people along, it’s one of his signature moves, right up there with tax fraud, stiffing creditors and strategic bankruptcy.

I would be among Native Americans in what is now the Seattle area. To them I would be a gibbering idiot who didn’t even know their language, and they would probably kill me.

Why does a calculator need my fucking email address? We’re not pen pals, just do this arithmetic.

If society collapses, the time until people forget enough to make whatever’s on the hard drive a rare information repository worth its weight in gold will be a lot longer than the working lifespan of a typical hard drive.

Have to admit, the name “Recall” does have a better ring to it than “Take a Screenshot Every 3 Seconds”.

At some point, none.

At last, hardware built to run my code!

Also are the Rolling Stones involved? Asking for a friend.

Deconditioning. If we had a really serious full-on plague we’d eventually get casual about the corpse disposal wagon.

Same question for morning glory, blackberries, and every other kind of wildly spreading thing.

It’s true, I can’t even put away a million krill before I start feeling like a glutton.
