Honestly, it is not worth it and only mildly funny. You didn’t miss anything.

It seems there is evidence that our larynx moves when we think. So the inner voice is actually ours as well.

Ah. I got baited 😆

You mean it doesn’t exist ? Perhaps I should be clear since I wrote just two lines.

If you take top comments on any (even non political) popular posts, there will be someone posting an intentionally controversial, yet unrelated, comment. I guess it boosts engagement of the post, or the commenter gets karma (or whatever fake points) or just some lunatics doing it for the kick of it. The problem is most people reacting to such comments doesn’t realise they were just baited into it.

Hence the thought in the shower 🚿

 

Considering the number of rage baits out there these days.

The real answer is a question - Is the timer still running ?

At first, drowsy me read the whole thing after reading the first line as “Teri Hatcher”.

I was surprised that many people didn’t know this magical ✨ shortcut

Ctrl + Shift + t
Cmd + Shift + t

If you accidentally closed a tab in a browser, it will reopen it. Most browsers also lets you open closed tabs one after the other.

It is easy to remember to since it is just a shift away from new tab shortcut

Ctrl + t
Cmd + t

Unpopular opinion - yes but not exactly

Searching the web is/was always like making a prompt. The difference before the current AI hype was that it was a different kind of algorithm, but still an algorithm tailored to make profit for the company. Or in other words, it was never in the user’s control on what information is received from the web. That is the nature of the web itself until, to some extent, we hopefully reach a dystopian decentralised non profit web. And hey we might even get there because you are reading this on Lemmy.

So to not die, we just need to stop breathing !

To be clear, OP is not questioning the validity either. You are, and that’s a separate discussion.

If I tell you “playing with fire is risky”, and then you bring up an old book to me where is it written “playing with fire is risky”, the discussion is not about whether I told you that from the book. It is not about whether my advice is valid or the book is valid. The discussion is just that people who had read the book should have already known “playing with fire is risky”.

 

TLDR - what’s the question mark in the following scale

Cult(-1)……………….Religion(0)……………….????(+1)

Long version (a.k.a my stupid mind’s question that is keeping me awake):

My understanding of cult is a group of people with an absurd or even possibly nefarious belief system. Like something negative.

By that definition I would put religion in the middle (though a majority of it leans towards the cult side). A group of people that is very serious about what they believe in, no matter how illogical it is.

So with this understanding what would you call the positive side ? A group of people coming together to have a tradition and belief system just for the fun of it ? Is there such thing ?

 

Additionally, what name would you never give to your kid ? And why ?

 

I see this trend lately where a lot of youtubers tend to face and look at multiple cameras while they are explaining stuff.

I don’t know if it adds anything to the experience. Sometimes I even feel dizzy, probably my brain not able to process so many movements while trying to understand them.

Do you find it amusing ?
