Eventually supply will catch up with demand

Not if NIMBYs have their way. We have a MASSIVE supply problem already, and it's getting worse.

We still have Hummers. Aerodynamics isn't everything.

I don't want my car sending any data out to anywhere, that's all. And all those features should be able to be manually disabled, because I personally am not a distracted or tired/drunk driver so I don't need any of that stuff.

Touch screens are cheaper, that's why they did it.

My dog bounces down stairs, she's like a little seesaw with her butt flying up at every step.

Also completely unable to walk up stairs, only run

That's what my dog does sometimes...and then when we come to check, there's a cat waiting in ambush for her around the corner

When multiple fields of science all agree, yeah they know what they're talking about.

I just don't get these anti-science types...

Within that finite set, one combination is the complete text of Hamlet.

Exactly. That's the point.

This article fundamentally misunderstands the entire thought experiment by using finite monkeys. With infinite monkeys, we'd have the script as quickly as it is physically possible to type the script.

Doesn't matter in the real infinite monkeys thought experiment. The chance of an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters producing Shakespeare is 100%. That's how infinity works.

You are now in charge of Russia. What do you do? (lemmy.world)

You have all the powers that Putin currently does. Everyone completely loyal to Putin is now loyal to you. Enemies of Putin are enemies of you. Putin no longer exists, and there has been a clean and absolute transfer of power to you. The economic, military, social and political situations are the same as they now are. You are not inhabiting Putin's body, you are just you. You're magically transferred to the Kremlin. The world at large doesn't know your past life, to them you have magically appeared as the new ruler. To everyone who knew you before, you just vanished.

Edit: no one knows your past life YET. They'll quickly figure it out. You will not lose any support based on your actions in your past life.

What are your favorite privacy-focused alternatives to standard apps? (lemmy.world)
 

Especially for those of us with no coding background, who can't just build/edit an app.

For example, I like using Gadgetbridge to replace my fitness tracker app: https://gadgetbridge.org/

It's not nearly as full-featured as a regular fitness app, but it literally can't connect to the internet so there's no way anyone can get my health info.

How many people here actually know any African-Americans? (lemmy.world)
 

Not like "I went to school with one" but have had an actual friendship?

I've had a couple of conversations recently where people have confidently said things about the Black community that are ridiculously incorrect. The kind of shit where you can tell they grew up in a very white community and learned about Black history as a college freshman.

Disclaimer: I am white, but I grew up in a Black neighborhood. I was one of 3 white kids in my elementary school lol, including my brother.

What's the story you would write if you were an author? (lemmy.world)
 

A lot of people worldbuild when they daydream and have the bones of a story kicking around in their brain, but have to pay the bills and raise the kids etc so they never flesh it out and write it down. What's your story's premise? Fantasy, sci-fi, alternate history, mystery, western, whatever genre.
