Is it considered normal to type out a normal question format when using search engines?

If I were looking for an answer instead of making a funny meme, I’d search “heat movie cast Angelina Jolie” if I didn’t feel like putting any effort in.

Then again, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve seen someone use their phone to search google “what is 87÷167?” instead of doing “87/167” or like… Opening the calculator…

People do things in different, sometimes weird ways.

At first I thought “wow, really? Only 8 seconds?”

Count out 8 full seconds in your head.

Now imagine you’re being hit by young teenagers with baseball bats.

8 seconds is a LONG time

Oh damn, that gave me flashbacks of trying to get my page to look the way I wanted it while knowing almost nothing about any type of coding…

You’re thinking of Lance Armstrong

He was a tall, bald black man who was a great actor and starred in movies like John Wick, and also did voice overs for tons of games, including Destiny.

Everyone, everywhere, has a duty to stop fascism and help their fellow man, regardless of what ultimately insignificant speck of a human decided to put a line on a map.

It was.

In Ohio? I’m almost positive it isn’t legal. It’s definitely illegal in states like California. But they’re banking on nobody recording their interview audio (which I will now be doing as Ohio is single-party state) and nobody complaining if asked.

I doubt it’s a company policy, but I did send an email to their company offices to complain about it, for all the good it will do.

Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.

Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.

I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.

Oddly, I did not get the job

I can go to my individual comments and check the scores, but I like that I can’t see any cumulative score. I’m a sucker for “number go up” games.

Lemmy isn’t a competition.

Ah, so you just wanted to stand on a soap box and let everyone see how virtuous and moral you are. Got it.

And with all fads, it’s cyclical. But on the internet, things move quicker so instead of 20-30 years, it’s more like 5-10.

Oof, you must have gotten a shipment of Ferengi pencils, they can be a little… “Eccentric”

I was gonna ask “And just how long is this pork, exactly?”

I’ve been told I need to redo paperwork because I marked the date like 12APR2025.

I get standardization for computers, but for something a person is going to look at I feel like it’s very direct, needs no explanation or interpretation. Anyone who sees it should be able to figure it out instantly.

I got it on one of those giveaways that steam/epic/gog sometimes do, so I never even gave them money over it and I still want my money back.

Damn, I’ve heard jokes about quebecios being snobby with their French but that seems excessive.

Which makes it all the more hilarious that the French people I know have joked about Quebec speaking “garbage French”

I paid 1k for my shitty pickup in 2018, it’s in worse condition than when I got it, and about 100,000 more miles on it.

It’s supposedly worth 3500 now. It needs about $300 worth in parts alone to get it into what I would consider a condition worth buying.

I don’t understand.

No, that’s a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock.

A few years ago I purged my face book profile with a script that edited every post with lorem ipsum, and then deleted the content.

It was embarrassing seeing posts from 10-15 years ago. Jesus christ I was an idiot. I still am, but I was then too. (thanks mitch)

In 2022 I did the same to my reddit account.

Same reaction.

Although it was interesting to see my comments go backwards from “burn the system to the ground” to “we need to make a compromise and reach across the aisle” and then from “all religions should be allowed to die” to “Yay Jesus”

Like I said, I was a big dum

Oh god I would hate to see my YouTube comment history from my first account…
