Sounds like absolute torture to me. Imagine how bored and frustrated you’d be after seeing generation after generation of humans repeat the same mistakes over and over.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Given dogs' propensity for sniffing other animals' buttholes and piles of other animals' shit, do their noses and sinuses have specialised bacteria/antibodies that protect them infection?
5·6 hours agoThat’s not how bacteria are transferred. They aren’t just wafting off the turd and going airborne. If you place a shit in the vicinity of a Petri dish in a sterile field, it’s not going to grow anything.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Honestly impressive how pharmacies are able to find a new type of problem every time I go to pick up my meds

It’s mainly exercise, diet, and skincare.
Make like a tree and fuck off

Games@lemmy.world•What game do you personally have the most hours played in?English
51·7 days agoWorld of Warcraft. Only played for a year back in 2010 but racked up an entire month of time played on my main, not even counting my half dozen alts.
Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) - over 1000 hours logged in flight, countless hours spent learning and researching avionics, checklists, airliners, procedures, hardware, software addons, etc.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How much wind would a wind turbine make if you flipped its generator to be a motor?
8·7 days agoI see two problems with your assessment here.
-
The gearbox is not going to be an issue. It will be very low torque if you try to drive it from the generator side because of that reduction. You’d have to spin it very fast but it would be low torque. The gearing makes it easier, not harder, like a car in first gear. (Or, from the power generation perspective, like engine braking in first gear.)
-
The blades aren’t running in reverse. You’d rotate the shaft the same direction as when it’s generating power.

This is all to make resale easier. Future adults will never be able to look at a building and say, “Hey, that bridal boutique used to be a Pizza Hut!”

Games@lemmy.world•[PlayStation] [DRM] Licenses now requires an online check-in every 30 days.English
2·12 days agoI don’t think most modern releases work offline, as in the disc is just a key or only part of the install data. You need to get online for that extra install data or required day one patch.
Shit sucks.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him?
13·13 days agoTsar/Czar is also derived from Caesar.
It’s also your greatest ally. Never had a terrible hangover or comedown? Soul-crushing grief? Nothing like the passage of time to alleviate those.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you use or rely on dynamic currency conversion upon cash withdrawals abroad whilst traveling?
2·15 days agoMaybe if you have a bad bank, I’ve checked mine and it’s competitive. April 17 I did a Bandcamp transaction in GBP, charged my Chase card and got <1% difference in USD compared to the mid-market exchange rate on that date. It’s $90.21 on my statement, $89.92 when I calculate it, so +0.3% off the mid-market rate.
If you’re getting anything worse than this, you’ve got a shady bank, and there’s no lack of competition.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you use or rely on dynamic currency conversion upon cash withdrawals abroad whilst traveling?
3·15 days agoIt’s not hard to find a bank that only charges a 1% fee on the spot exchange rate. You shouldn’t be using a debit card (“cash in the account”) almost anywhere. Credit is so much better.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you use or rely on dynamic currency conversion upon cash withdrawals abroad whilst traveling?
5·15 days agoDon’t use a bank that charges $5 for currency conversion. If it’s anything more than an additional 1% it’s a shit bank. Always charge things in the local currency and let your bank do the conversion for +1%. Need cash? Hit a real bank ATM (not a shady kiosk one) with a debit card that refunds ATM fees and withdraw local currency for +1%. Currency conversion any other way is a complete ripoff, aside from ordering money from the bank before you leave.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•People with bad/no hearing, can you "hear" yourself chewing when you eat?
2·16 days agoSomeone needs to make a vibrator with aux in so you can really feel the music
Have a source within arms reach 24/7 and drink as much as you can everytime you think about it. That’s it. It’s one of the many annoying maintenance items of life, just get used to it like brushing your teeth. Eventually you’ll hate how you feel when you don’t do it, and this outweighs the annoyance.
Good luck going anywhere else. Also, if anyone finds out you’re immortal they’ll probably eventually gang up on you and torture you for ages because you’re a devil or some shit.
Fuck that. Dying is a gift. The impermanence of life is essential to enjoying it.
