Skittles. It’s the perfect example of a corporate advertising campaign that has been run out in the open in front of people, and no one can see it. From like “day one” on Reddit.

Burger King has a huge presence, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, so many others.

Kagi has been running a stealth spam campaign here on Lemmy for over a year.

It beats JO to the bra/panties section in the Sears catalog

I feel like the amount of knowledge and expertise in the overall community is very high.

I also think this platform suffers from the same issue that is natural and normal in every other sharing platform: very few people contribute, most people just drink from the content hose.

We had that, but there’s only so many times you can jerk off to the same pair of African titties

Yes.

I grew up in the 70’s where you’d run naked out of the shower to take a phone call, because that might be your only opportunity to be invited to a social occasion or event that day/week. Nobody ever turned down an invite to lunch, cards night, bingo, pot luck, watching vacation slides, etc, etc, etc. That was the chance to see the world, connect with people and hear what was going on.

I grew up when you’d read the same shampoo bottle 10 times every time you took a shit, hoping you’d find some new detail you once missed.

I grew up when reading every single word of the newspaper, literally from cover-to-cover was a normal thing, for want of better options.

So I feel if people were forced back into the system of non-instant communication, it would automatically make humans come back together. We are social creatures, and The Internet & SM is an ersatz version of socializing, but if it were gone people would have to find it in real life again.

It was pretty rough for the first 2 years, but I feel like the overall popularity is growing, and in general it’s attracting more of the type of person I’m interested in talking with.

Sure, even highly intelligent people can be jerks at times, and I’m no exception. But despite the friction that all discussion forum have, overall the community is just better for me.

I can talk about all kinds of different types of technical and artistic interests and when I do, people pop out of the woodwork to share connect and share their experiences. I am frequently informed by others here and I in turn can share my knowledge. That makes it worth it.

Ok thank you. I was gonna just say it looks like absolute shite as well

Fuck you’re just useless

AI has become a self-enfeeblement tool.

I am aware that most people are not analytically minded, and I know most people don’t lust for knowledge. I also know that people generally don’t want their wrong ideas corrected by a person, because it provokes negative feelings of self worth, but they’re happy being told self-satisfying lies by AI.

To me it is the ultimate gamble with one’s own thought autonomy, and an abandonment of truth in favor of false comfort.

Sorry friend, but you’re both uninformed and delusional. And sadly confident about your wrong opinions.

I’m trying to inform you without saying it that you are remembering wrong. It’s kind of irrelevant if I also remember it wrong!

I love it! I love being able to hack something together that’s better.

I feel you on the aesthetics OTOH I chose a gigantic purple milk crate attached to the back rack for that reason as well

Wow awesome, this is going in the bookmark pile. I’ve been so annoyed with every adhesive I’ve tried for fabric. Cheers for this tip!

You completely reminded me of this stuff called “Plumber’s Goop” which I never once used in a plumbing application but it was everywhere in my fix-it life.

It was basically some kind of silicone glue-sealant and heavily rubberized, or at least the cured product was like rubber, but also tougher than a $2 steak.

I used to re-tip pool cues with it! No lie I’ve played more than 10,000 games of snooker/pool and never once did a tip fly off. The ability for it to weather that level shock and shrug it off was incredible to me!

With exception of some incompatible materials, for a few decades it was my “do you want to stick these things together forever” go to lol

It also smelled like a skunk’s ass. And probably was deleting brain cells in realtime. Maybe that’s why I haven’t seen it on shelves for a while

I did the same for my Windows 10 PC… It says my 3-6 year ESU is active, but I get the bug in the setting screen saying Windows no longer gets updates… But I got a defender update the other day! Cautiously optimistic

Download the ISO from MS, make bootable USB with Rufus. After clicking Start you can choose local account only, bypass TPM and RAM reqs, etc

It’s clearly mold (e okay technically it’s mildew), and people who say it’s rust are smoking the drapes.

But it’s safe to eat the pickles because they’re not contaminated.

What are some things a person can fix with rope?
