Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL The ancient Romans created an artificial sweetener called "Sugar of Lead" by corroding lead in vinegar. It has a mildly sweet taste and also causes brain damageEnglish26·17 days agoI believe they were making a joke about sugar free corn
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the worst/most embarrassing thing you've done before realizing someone else was in the room?2·21 days agoWe mostly laughed about it after I explained what I was doing
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the worst/most embarrassing thing you've done before realizing someone else was in the room?27·22 days agoHad an ingrown hair on my taint. Mom walked in to find me standing on the bathroom counter, balls pulled up, leaned back against the wall behind me, and squeezing it. She thought I was fingering my ass lmao
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Fediverse@lemmy.world•When an instance like lemm.ee shuts down, what happens to the posts and comments?English19·1 month agoI am in no way techy, but from what I gather because the posts are federated they are also stored on the other instances as well, so posts are still visible. In the post announcing the shuttering of .ee they specifically mentioned adding a note on your profile to link to your new profile, so people can find your new profile after that shut down. That implies to me that everything not intentionally scrubbed remains open/visible long after the shut down of the original source.
Again, though, not techy, so I may be vocalizing from my posterior
I don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other. But I do have a fun story!
When my mom was pregnant with my older brother, they had a phone repair guy at the house. She was going through a book of baby names and trying to pick one, while her husband was yelling from the other room that his name would be the same as his (we’ll go with John for the example and privacy).
Husband: (yelling) his name will be John, same as me!
Mama: no! I will not do that! He’d be a junior, I’m not naming my son Junior like some redneck!
Husband: it’s not a redneck name! You don’t have to call him junior, call him john!
Mama: no, it’s trashy! It’s a white trash name and I’m not doing it! I want him to be able to read, not learn how to make moonshine out of an old radiator!*
*That one’s an actual direct quote
Phone repair guy: turns around I need something from the truck.
Mama looks up and notices his name tag. Junior.
Dude left, got in his truck, and drove away. Sent someone else out the next day to fix the phone
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•WTF is a rural town in the USA?101·2 months agoDon’t forget BFE. The sticks are almost always right about halfway between BFE and YouGottaPurdyMouth

Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Technology@lemmy.world•Mom sues porn sites (Including Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Superporn and Hentaicity) for noncompliance with Kansas age assurance law; Teen can no longer enjoy life after mom caught him visiting ChaturbateEnglish501·2 months agoI think it’s just poorly written pseudo-legalese, and it’s intended to mean that he will be unable to enjoy life in the future because of the psychological damage that poor is doing to him (unrealistic expectations and mental harm, et cetera).
While porn addiction and unrealistic ideas of beauty and sex are genuinely real things that happen, the way to prevent that is with frank, open discussions about sex and pornography, not trying to prevent your 14 year old from masturbating. I was a 14 year old boy at one point, and lemme tell you, nothing could stop me from masturbating. Nothing. It’s just not going to happen. Kids will find ways to find porn, and if somehow we completely do away with it entirely (again, won’t happen), they’ll find new ways, and they’ll read and write erotica or get into hentai or whatever. This woman is insane, Kansas is insane, and so are all the other states imposing this bullshit
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•would you rather retire or cryogenically freeze yourself to see a new world?6·2 months agoAsk me this a couple months ago and I’d have opted for freezing me, no question. But I lost my person, and I’ve realized it’s not that I was afraid to die or that I wanted life to go on forever. I wanted the life I had to go on forever. That’s gone now. I’ll opt for the end date on the tin.
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"With all due respect" could imply that no respect is due and therefore none is given25·2 months agoOnce told a boss “with all due respect, and I do mean all the respect you’re actually due in this moment, I won’t be doing that”
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What ya nerds set your thermostats to?1·3 months agoAs cold as the other people in the house will let me. I have rarely lived anywhere with functioning central heat and air (and have never liked it when I did), so generally I use window units and a cunningly devised system of curtains. I don’t care if a hallway or the bathroom gets hot, so long as the bedroom and kitchen stay cool, y’know?
In the winter I almost never use heating, except for a small space heater I just take room to room with me, and one that I run while in the shower.
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What ya nerds set your thermostats to?422·3 months agoIt’s the same thing in that both cutting sugar from your diet and living inside a 90°F/32°C box both take all possibility of joy out of your life
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are three questions you can ask someone new to know if they are friend material or not?2·3 months agoI’ve never played, what do I need to know?
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are three questions you can ask someone new to know if they are friend material or not?2·3 months agoMy answer would be something along the lines of: I think astrology is vague enough to apply pretty generally, but the interesting thing about it is seeing people’s reactions. It’s a social placebo, and we can see how different people read into the same thing. “A new experience awaits you, Aries” and we see one person anticipating a raise a work, and thus behaving more confidently and getting it, while another is expecting divorce papers, and their behavior is helping them to reach that goal, too.
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are three questions you can ask someone new to know if they are friend material or not?5·3 months agoYes, but I haven’t watched a ton.
Those two are my favorites of what I’ve seen (outside of Ghibli, which I feel like is a category unto itself).
I haven’t seen the last season of Attack on Titan, so don’t spoil it, but I feel like Eren is complicated enough that I’m not going to form a full opinion until I see how it plays out. Light, however, I think is an irredeemable sociopath that justified his murderlust by going after socially convenient targets until he decided it didn’t matter anymore, and began to think of himself as a god.
Fucking excellent storytelling, but I didn’t care for the L replacement kid
Curious, why do you remain registered as a Republican?
