Literally every wireless controller I have ever owned that used rechargable batteries could be plugged in while I was using it if it started to die. I would bet that 99% of wireless controller users have a power outlet at least somewhere near where they sit to game.

I’m always extremely wary of post-mortem criticisms of hated figures. Especially when that criticism is about physical characteristics. Just way too many instances in history of people making shit up after the fact like “and he had a small penis too!”. Take the supposed autopsy of King Charles II of Spain which includes such gems as his body “did not contain a single drop of blood”, that his heart was the “size of a peppercorn”, and he had “a single testicle, black as coal”.

Not saying the people making these claims on Hitler are wrong, but it sounds very similar to other instances of historians not letting the truth get in the way of a good story.

I’ve seen this criticism a couple of times and I’m not sure I’m following. He was reading out the pledge that service members were taking on the field, you know the thing people do where the officiator says the words your supposed to say and you repeat them back? “State your name” is a pretty common thing in that when the person repeating the words is supposed to say their own name.

Are people upset because they think Trump should have said the oath himself, and thus, should have said his own name? Because that could cause some confusion with the soldiers repeating his words.

The only other thing I can think of is that people are just so pants-shittingly stupid that they couldn’t connect that he was reading out a pledge for soldiers to follow, and instead thought he was just reading from a teleprompter or a script and fucked up by not saying his own name. I really hope that’s not why people are upset because, holy shit how fucking stupid do you have to be to think that?

To be fair, it’s a block of salt. Not only would microbes have a hard time surviving on it, but you can just run water over it and the top layer will dissolve away.

The one that constantly pops into my head is where I saw a woman making ceviche. Except she didn’t add salt directly to it. Instead, when it was time to start cutting everything, she pulled out a 10lb block of pink Himalayan rock salt from her fridge “that you can get from any specialty salt store” and used that as the cutting board so the dish would absorb some of the salt.

I was just stunned. In what way is that any better than just adding salt? In fact, it’s far worse since you have no way of controlling how much salt is going into the dish. And what the hell is a specialty salt store?!

The censorship is so stupid I thought it was a normal image edited to try and make some kind of point.

Because when you see a wooden spoon, it’s just a wooden spoon. When I see a wooden spoon, I see a weapon.

He was also pro-slavery, but only for smart women. Many times, it was reported he owned women with facts and logic. Why he only wanted women with those qualities is unknown.

An uncut sandwich is better than a horizontal cut sandwich.

It’s 🥺🥺🥺 because it’s a fake story made by a child.

And then I started vomiting it was so cute. The dog collapsed from joy and also started vomiting, as did the trainer. Soon the whole terminal was vomiting and crying tears of happiness. And then we all fucked as doves flew overhead shitting out rainbows and butterflies.

I’m always amazed at the hoops some home owners will go through in a vain attempt to renovate an existing bathroom in their house, rather than just burning their house down and building a new one from scratch. It’s gotta be Stockholm syndrome or something.

Despite it being literally the biggest barrier brought up anytime someone suggests people should switch to Linux, it’s like you guys just can’t seem to get it through your head that literally 99.9% of PC users lack the technical knowledge needed to make the switch and find the amount of time and effort needed to learn how intimidating to the point that, yes, those “hoops” you mention are actually the easier option.

How much money do you think 4chan gets from the UK? I promise it’s not much.

Are you seriously trying to say that if you have a website, no matter where it’s hosted and what you are hosting, you are subject to the laws of EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY that has internet access?

Here’s a text picture of Muhammad lying down: O<–<

Are the admins of lemmy.world now subject to being put to death in Somalia? Under Somali law, that is blasphemy and punishable by death.

Cowbee: “Haha! What executions? All of it is completely made up and originates from things like satire! Things are wonderful in North Korea and anyone thinking otherwise has just been deceived.”

Also Cowbee: “Look, this execution was actually not a problem because of many reasons. Besides, DPRK was just going through a rough time, and the guy probably deserved it or something. Anyways, stop trying to judge a country based on its past actions!”

Tricia McLaughlin says, “This new ruling seeks to stop us from protecting our ICE Broadview facility…DHS extended fencing at the Broadview Processing Center after rioters and sanctuary politicians obstructed law enforcement, threw tear gas cans, rocks, bottles…”

Where’d the protesters get the tear gas cans from, Trisha? Where’d they get the fucking cans?!

No. Some no-name tik-toker claimed he had proof and threatened to reveal it, and then offered no evidence when the time came. But, the internet being what it is, people rolled with it because I guess the truth should never get in the way of a good story.

“We looked at opinions from predominantly leftist individuals, ignored any responses from rightwingers, and came to the conclusion that no one in America is believing it.”

I. Fucking. Hate. THIS. TIMELINE!

I want to get off the stupid ride! Do you hear me?! I WANT TO GET OFF!

I refuse to listen to anyone saying this wouldn’t work when we already have an example of it working in Australia.

“It’s impossible! Let’s just hand-wave away all the times where it was shown to actually be pretty fucking possible and straightforward.”
