Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It would be so funny if China colonizes Mars, then the Martian Colonists declare independence, and Mars become a new bastion of Freedom and Prosperity.English
9·3 months agoSound familiar?
Yeah, it’s the basis for a lot of sci-fi stories; though China is interchangable with any country, corporation, or mega rich jackass.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does it get windy in New York City?English
281·4 months agoThey don’t block the wind so much as funnel it down the streets between them. But I don’t think NYC gets as windy as Chicago. There’s a reason it’s called “the windy city.”

How do you feel about my right as a man to become pregnant?
Authoritarians cosplaying socialist/communists.
I was once rocking out to heavier shit I am pretty sure I sound like shit singing (specifically Animal I Have Become by 3 Days Grace) while on lunch in my work van just parked somewhere and a woman walked by and complimented me, which of course made me turn it off, roll my windows up, and become a turtle inside my jacket. You know, a normal reaction.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something you had as a kid you wish had modern batteries?English
2·9 months agoLiterally anything. Even the things I still have that use AA and AAA batteries (of which the newest things are my VR controllers which is so stupid…), I have rechargeable lithium ion AAs and AAAs for so I don’t have to constantly buy batteries.
As a kid, tho, I loved 9volts because they had the best connectors. I could take a little battery powered motor apart, glue it to some legos and use it to make machines that moved or did stuff. I almost killed myself once wondering what would happen if I took the cord from a busted fan, wired it to the 9volt battery motor and the plugged the cord into the wall outlet.
It blew up the motor and started a fire. 🤣
Just DuoLingo, watching Japanese stuff without subtitles (including cultural guides for further understanding) to force myself to listen, and then looking up words I don’t know when I come across them.
My goal was never to learn how to speak or write anything; just understand it well enough to watch Japanese media in the original language. I still often have to rewind and play back stuff to get it all. Especially if they are saying a long sentence really fast.
It also probably helps that Language itself is one of the things that tickles my autistic brain.
If it was a sign on a broken escalator, it’d be okay.
