These cubes are not actually moving
  • Maybe it's not working for you, but it works on my phone... The lines of which the cubes are drawn are white/black. By changing the amount of each on a side, (WHITEblack whiteBLACK BlackwhiTE blackWHITE etc) in quick succession, one edge of the cube can look like it's approaching or receding. It's based on the way shadows would behave for a real cube, and your brain processes it as such. (The ones I made up aren't in any order, whereas the ones in the gif are carefully synchronized)

  • Google’s carbon emissions soar by 48% due to AI
  • Are you happier with "inadequately-developed"?

    In both cases I was referring to the fact we're letting the equivalent of a toddler run amok while being exploited by greedy capitalists and trained by fascists. It's a very smart toddler but that just makes things worse.

  • Ribbons on vents. Why?
  • We don't hose our streets down every night either, it just works better for movies because any stains or dogpiss puddles get evened out and reflecting lights bring out the perspective, and are pretty.

    Chances are, you've seen lots of HVAC vents without ribbons in Hollywood movies without noticing them, because whether they were blowing wasn't important to the scene.

  • I'm helping I promise!
  • "belly up on my lap" I'd be eviscerated trying to achieve this step with the cat I have now. All our previous cats were, well, pussycats about nail clipping compared to her. I finally had to resort to a dose of gabapentin, which barely slows her down but enables me to get one claw at a time over about 3 hours, with a toothy treat after every claw, and plenty of freedom and "da bee" playtime in between to tire her out.

  • I joined a community choice power provider with 100% renewable power, and my bill went down
  • Remember to try to avoid using power 4-9 pm if possible. Because it's peak hours, and the sun is setting, fossil fuels kick in to meet demand, even if you aren't directly hooked up to them. Later at night, wind/hydro power can supply enough because demand is lower.

  • Following tradition, within means
  • If you loved the look of your "good china" and wanted to enjoy it every day, but couldn't afford to replace broken or chipped or worn-down pieces all the time, displaying it was safer than using it every day. You could eat off the same old plate, whether it's a damaged part of the set or something else entirely, while looking at the pretty ones you're not having to wash (or even dust often, if behind glass). Then for big fancy gatherings you'd have enough nice ones for everyone.

    Edit: Looking at OP's picture brings me memories of long-ago college parties, so it's a similar reminder of good times with good friends that old grandmas might get from looking at their china case.

  • I just hit Cancel by accident AGAIN.

    My muscle memory is having a stupidly hard time shifting from Reddit to Lemmy, so I keep typing out comments I've put careful thought into, and at the last minute hitting the Cancel button!

    How do I go back to being myself?

    Ever since LemmyWorld went down in the hacking, I haven't been able to log in using the account I created there. I do the login thing, and the little pop-up says "Logged In" but I'm not. I can't see my Subscribed feed, I can't comment or post. And I couldn't ask this question! I also couldn't start fresh because I only have one email, and it knew that. So I came over to shitjustworks which graciously allowed me to create this profile without an email address. I guess it's okay, I can work on resubscribing to stuff under this name, neither one is my old Reddit name anyway, but I would prefer going back to my other account or at least knowing what happened...? In case it happens again?
