In the future, computers will do all our art and entertainment for us so we can concentrate on making rich people more money. Yay!

Ehh, I mean yeah I get what you mean, but guns are still pretty useful tools (if not exactly pleasant.) US gun fetishism is way off the deep end, but we're still pretty far from "bluetooth smart diaper" territory

Guns are inanimate.

People who do dumb shit like this are dumb.

And in your opinion, how could I have better represented someone test firing a gun in their own goddamn hand?

Wait, you're right. After your reply I think "moron" was way too lenient of me.

Please tell me you weren't wearing eye or ear protection, that'd make this even better.

Yeah, using the wrong kind of filament accidentally is understandable and doesn't say anything about anyone's intelligence.

Takes a real moron to test fire a brand new experimental gun in their hand, and then cry about it and blame their friend when it inevitably goes sideways

Surprisingly few downvotes so far.

Lemmy stalinists are going to enjoy this one

I'm hesitant to say it because I've gotten some ridiculously hostile reactions for it, but I've really liked Kagi.

Yes, it's a subscription service but that means they have an incentive to not show you shit results. According to some, paying for a search service is wrong because online services should be free, and I'm just astroturfing if I even mention it

Or, I dunno, maybe just don't use Google?

Yeah, same, I found it a bit surprising they have fewer than Germany

Oh I wish it was. Eg. here in Finland sharing movies etc. among friends or downloading them off the internet used to be legal as long as you weren't doing it for profit or distributing stuff to a huge audience, but that changed in 2006 because the new EU Copyright Directive required it, and that directive was hugely influenced by the likes of WIPO.

After a certain age people stop asking you what your favorite dinosaur is, and I think that's sad.

My current one's the Anchiornis, because it's in the same clade as birds so it's in their family tree, and it really looks like a prototype of a bird. It had 4 wings for example, but it already looked very birb-y:

(Figured I'd just turn an earlier comment into an actual post because why not)
