I remember reading so many of these as a kid. I had completely forgotten about these. A nice surprise in my feed.

I never really learned this skill. I can just lie down in bed all day doing nothing (apart from thinking), and not get bored. This trait is not very beneficial for productivity…

I know at least Firefox and Signal do the same. I don’t see why it should be changed, since pinching and double tapping are also supported. Although, the zoom on double tap is indeed way too strong.

My cat: “You are a heated bed for me to nap on. If you even think about getting up, I will murder you.”

In general and if you don’t know the person you’re making the recommendation to, agreed. But I know several people I’d definitely recommend (and have recommended) Arch to as the first distro. Even just the installation process is so educational, it’s a worthy starting point, after some general youtube videos perhaps. If someone just wants to take Linux for a quick test drive, Arch definitely isn’t the way to go.

Although, I’ll admit I’m not sure how to describe the type of people I’d recommend it to. If their interest is less practical, and more theoretical. Or if they get really into their hobbies and like to tinker and poke at things to see what happens. Or if they just have an endless curiosity and need to understand. Surprisingly many people I know fall into these categories.

That was pretty much me when I first decided to try installing Arch… at 2am.

I did always find those bird enthusiasts strange. As a side note, I wonder if there’s a conspiracy theory among birds about how humans are actually government surveillance drones…

Their true legacy will be their fabulous eyebrows which shall be remembered for thousands of years.

When I was done reading the comic, this is exactly the image I had in mind! Good thing I’m not the only pessimist around, I love it.

This little frog has sparked some joy. It shall get me through the next week or two.

Older houses definitely have them… but there was this trend at some point to renavate older houses and remove the oil heaters and fireplaces and wood heated saunas, and replace everything with electric ones. Why? No idea, trends are weird.

Why does anyone need any temperature? I find it most comfortable! I’ve also noticed sleep is a lot better when the air is a bit cooler. Anything above 18°C just makes me feel uncomfortably warm.

I like to keep my home at 16°C (60.8°F) when possible. Summers are hell.

Wait, what would similar reaction actually be? Would they send 100 000 women to Sweden?

By losing consciousness. Usually our minds keep us anchored to a single layer of the multiverse, even during our dreams (which do allow shifting between worlds) it pulls us back most of the time.

If you have ever been unconscious, this most likely isn’t your original world. Symptoms usually include ‘misremembering’ of historical events or trivia, as well as changes in people’s attitudes towards you after the episode of unconsciousness.

The longer you remain unconscious, the longer your ‘fall’ will be. Small fall will have you waking up in a mostly similar world, but the further you get from your home, the more differences will emerge. To travel into fundamentally different worlds would require longer than one human lifespan (not to mention additional spatial shifting to avoid landing in an environment hostile to life) and thus isn’t currently practical without help from Outside.

How are you still alive? I have to remove batteries from clocks around the house during a migraine because even the ticking noise is too much…
