Well, was about to get upset and rant that oppossums are not intelligent, they are the very picture of stupidity, and then i realized the post said possums. And i dont know anything about those Australian fuckers, maybe they are intelligent.

Wonder if I’ll be able to remember that the UK-ism for a traffic cone is a witches hat. It makes sense of course, just not what I’m used to. Plus the oscilloscope probe add-on takes first spot for that in my mind. Would guess I’ll need more british comedies to reference it for the memory to stick.
Dollar General kinda already does this, and it makes food more expensive over all, as the packaging to product ratio is worse, and you end up paying a lot more for a lot less. Sometimes it’s so extreme you pay more for less product than if you wentt to a regular grocery store.

World News@lemmy.world•Fully autonomous drones have killed human soldiers for the first timeEnglish
71·3 months agoFalse equivalence. Jews belonged where they were, and were part of the german population. In addition, no civilians were injured or targeted. Thus there are no war crimes. I’m not saying I am a fan of even the idea of removing people from killing people, but as the laws are currently written, there is no war crime. War crime is a very specific serious, and well defined thing. Calling things we don’t like a war crime dilutes and weakens the very term.

News@lemmy.world•John Roberts insists supreme court not ‘political’ after Trump-friendly rulings
14·4 months agoHe’s either lying to himself, or just lying to us, but there’s nothing about this court that’s apolitical.
Through their own incompetence. Not to mention letting their guard down after signing a treaty saying they wouldn’t attack the Nazis.
Revisionist bullshit.
The soviets might have killed just as many germans without lend-lease, we’ll never know, but with over 75 percent of their trucks, and something like half the fuel being delivered through lend lease, there’s no way they would have made it into Germany. The US also delivered a great deal of food aid with that.
I am not sure if that’s sarcasm, but spent reactor fuel doesn’t glow, and it never glows green. Any glow you’re going to see is cherenkov radiation, and that’s a soft blue glow. But you wouldn’t see that either.

Games@lemmy.world•What game do you personally have the most hours played in?English
2·4 months agoDepends how we’re counting. Actively playing is probably WoW, but I have so many hours in Factorio, as i would just leave it running overnight. Had a server up for friends also, so probably have close to 1k hours of the game being open, but definitely feel like i wasn’t actively playing as much as WoW. Just to how many years i put into playing WoW.
As government employees, they would instantly be fired by the toddler. Im guessing theyd love to ride a rocket again.

politics @lemmy.world•Republican Gov Will Cancel Votes in Insane Racial Power Grab
37·4 months agoWhy on earth does Louisiana give that kind of power to the governor? Shouldn’t be possible to cancel elections of any kind, unless there is civil war in the state.
Or is this another instance of a republican see what their stacked courts will let them get away with?

Political Humor@lemmy.world•Things could have gone so very differentlyEnglish
2·5 months agoI get the involvement of France there, but don’t see how either would lead to the US speaking French. I could see a Canada situation with the purchase, as there would be more French speakers. But even there, UK had no involvement with that, as it was Napoleon’s focus on Europe that led him to sell the land to the US, so he could continue his conquests. The Revolutionary War wouldn’t have led to speaking French regardless of the outcome. UK wins, we’re still speaking English. We did win, and did not lead to us speaking French.
Aside from that, having not done a google, is that something the King actually said?

Political Humor@lemmy.world•Things could have gone so very differentlyEnglish
71·5 months agoIs this real? Seems fake. But having said that, is it the French-Indian war that the poster/king is talking about? Not sure what else would lead to N America speaking french. Outside of that, seems an odd arguement anyway, since it was the UK’s colony at the time, not a sovereign nation.
I’ve put too much thought into this, me thinks.

Late Stage Capitalism@lemmy.world•It's all connected. Our education system would like us to believe that they are isolated or compartmentalized but they're all interconnected by capitalism.
91·5 months agoIt’s still dumb. Patriarchy only existing due to capitalism is also dumb. Patriarchy has to be one of the oldest human ideas. It exists almost everywhere (I know there are exceptions).





'79 Nissan 280ZX. Ideally would be one that had turbo, but would take the exact car back in a heartbeat. Was a fool to sell it when i did. The clutch release fork mount broke off the transmission, making it not worth the fix, with my at the time knowledge and budget. Of course if i would have found the right mechanic it might have been cheap. But goes back to the knowledge problem.
Is someone fishing for security questions? Though i guess its normally first car, not favorite…
