If you’re still regenerating tissue, your body is still producing weight. Drastically reduced (I’d guess by 75% total, of which 2/3 is dead digestive bacteria you’d no longer need), but still existent.

Fun fact, you don’t defecate out weight loss, either. You exhale carbon in CO2

Meanwhile in 2025, I’m deciding if I need to wall mount my bidet remote for “anti theft” purposes

but,

Even without direct interaction, it’s easier to know someone as “the guy in the cabin on hillside road with the blue Honda CRV and the beard”. I assume that’s what the comment meant since they tied privacy to anonymity

Without seeing what you’ve seen, that honestly sounds more like a symptom of the platform, current internet trends, and algorithm gaming than it sounds like a cheesy viral marketing campaign

Doesn’t he have a bean to flick?

Found one item real quick, Husky Foam Kneeling pad. Same price of $14.88 for NYC, LA, Nebraska, and Delaware.

There’s definitely some cents coding for clearance there. A $100 item will be identified as being removed from inventory when it goes to 1st clearance at 50.06, 2nd clearance at 25.03 or 25.02. There’s a whole game to find those items at the next stage, scrap or return to vendor, when it get pulled form the shelf and set to 0.01. But the order isn’t always perfect and you can get lucky if you find it and don’t get caught

Reddit comments say 88 is a “special buy” item. In my experience, that means freestanding box with a giant price tag

That’s not my tax rate, although it’s a good guess. It occurs across a number of store sin my area, although all in the same state. My theoretical benign explanation is its an inventory code for short term items around holidays. I’ll probably be there later today and see what I can find

$14.88 is an obnoxiously common price for temporary box display items at home depot. Gloves, kneeling pads, drill bit kits. Always gets an eyebrow from me

Tesla has airways had volitility. It goes up when musk overhype it, it goes down when tesla underdelivers. I had some stock and got off that roller coaster when the truck was unveiled. I stopped believing it was above board at all.

Sick nazi reference in the numbers though.

I see you were given some confirmation it’s a larger problem. To explain why we needed more details, “lemmy” is not a singular site. You registered on lemm.ee, while I’m on lemmy.world, which are 2 out of dozens of different “instances”. Some other popular ones include lemmy.ml, Midwest.social, and kbin.social. These instances all federated together, meaning they have the ability to view and interact with each other. The “community” (like a subreddit if that’s where you come from) you posted to here is hosted on my home instance, lemmy.world. You’ll also see the term “defederation” used. If two instances constantly fight or, say, an instance creates a constant influx of bad actors, an instance may decide to defederate with that instance. This cuts off that interoperability between the two. There are ways to block them on your own as well, I believe.

On top of that, we’re all using different clients. Some from a web browser, some on various mobile apps such as jerboa, connect, etc.

This means to diagnose your problem (and any future problem), we need info to determine if this is a you-problem, an app problem, and instance problem, or a community problem.

Good luck. Stick around. It’s quiet here compared to wherever you came from, most likely, but you’ll probably find a bunch of the same people over and over. It takes some adjustment.

Idk, maybe I’m the one who phased out of cup stacking by being old. But still, we can’t be that far off from when explaining cup stacking will sound like how I feel about pole sitting.

Skrillex is sort of the face of mainstreamed dubstep. I just learned his subgenre is brostep. The work that came before him was… Gritty. Close to the Key & Peele skit. The FC3 song is closer to common EDM.

Sierra Leone by Mt Eden is probably what I’d use as an example of the best of traditional dubstep

The numbers used to denote the engine and trim, to an extent. The letters are the important part. RX series, as opposed to NX or LX

Look at symbols of Christian holidays, then read where they came from. I’d say that represents misrepresented mythologies. It’s all stolen symbolism to blot out the competition.

The Easter bunny giving eggs? Spring is about fucking and both of those are symbols of fertility.

4 is very similar to 3, in my opinion. It generally ranks lower than 3, but I’d attribute that to 3 defining expectations and 4 meeting expectations rather than pulling another groundbreaking move. 3 shared some notable elements with 2 but refined the direction of FC. 2 doesn’t have magic and FC enjoyers begroaned 3’s supernatural element, but here we are.

5 removed the supernatural element and got some mixed feelings. I’d put some of that on the fact that they brought the white American savior trope home to America. Instead of a foreign land under a whimsical authoritarian regime the West likes to go to war with, it’s a religious cult in classic Americana rural towns. It’s like changing from 1990s Batman movies to the Nolan trilogy. Gritty, more realistic, closer to historical fiction than fantasy. It harks back to the 1993 Waco Massacre.

I’ve played 6 on and off over the last few years. I read lots of hate but still enjoyed it. It’s in Cuba, so it was back to being a far-off fantasy for me, with lots of story rooted in the 1960s revolution (though the game is present day). That is until the Gaza war flared up. Suddenly the game got uncomfortable for me. You play as a terrorist group fighting the military. That’s not exactly different from 4. Sure, if you win, it’s a revolution, but if you lose, historical speaking, the winners call it terrorism. I suppose the story could be considered weaker, but it’s a change up. Instead of basing the story on you vs the big bad, it’s rooted more in the friends you make along the way. You’re building a revolution as one faction gathering 3 more.

There’s also 3 half-games. Between the main titles, half of the prior maps for alternate experiments. I’d wait for all the titles to be discounted but would say the halfsies need to be discounted more. Granted, they’re probably all regularly under $20 now anyway.

After 3 came Blood Dragon, using one of the islands for an over the top 1980s synthwave action comedy. It has corny 80s moves in lieu of superpowers. It’s fun.

After 4 came Primal, a prehistoric version of the FC formula. I think it’s neat that they developed a proto-proto-indo-european language for a 10,000BC setting. Spears, slings, clubs, and knives are the weapons here with some grenade-like items. There’s spiritual elements resembling living a mythology. It’s also fun.

After 5, New Dawn is actually a continuation of the story. A quasi-Fallout/Mad Max post-nuke-apocalypse world in which Joseph Seed still lives - and becomes an ally. I think it brought in supernatural powers from nuclear stuff. Probably my least favorite of the 3, but still enjoyable. It also introduced a number of the elements people begroaned in 6, so maybe that’s why I don’t mind 6 as much.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a halfsies between 6 and, presumably, an upcoming 7. 6 does have some extra story (dlc?) that has you relive parts of the prior titles. I haven’t done them nor read about them much so I can experience them myself.

In the world of phone keyboards doing whatever the fuck they want with autocorrecting capitalizations, that is effective (assuming they’re equally trained to accept both words and don’t autocorrect Gbits to GBytes)

Lol, who down voted your comment though? Why? Best I can do is bring it back to 1 point.

Same with every average ISP customer. 1GB/s down and 1Gb/s up sounds like the same thing. ISPs expect customers to know the difference the same way Tesla pretends everyone knows airplane autopilot is just a speed and vector system

Make it Bun Dem by Skrillex and Damien Marley

I’m glad you enjoyed the song. I don’t know your age, but seeing that screenshot made me realize how hard it’d be to explain the popularity of dubstep and, in particular, Skrillex to anyone who wasn’t there. Same goes for the immortalization of the “oh my god!” featured in Nice Sprites and Scary Monsters, screamed by the girl who stacked cups in record time. Or stacking cups. This feels like the making of an “onion tied to my belt” type of rambling story. I imagine most of this platform was there for dubstep and that the young adults today had way more internet access than I did as a kid, so it’s probably not even unknown yet.

The song shuffles into my playlist sometimes and takes me back to both that game moment and the generalized memory of blasting that from my ipod nano into my grandpa’s handmedown Ford Taurus with the headphone wire I hardwired into the cassette deck. If you think dubstep sounds bad now, I made it sound worse.

What a coincidence. I looked up the Key & Peele skit about dubstep. My exact generation of Taurus is involved, identified by the circular rear window. The skit is worth it on its own, of course
