For a secondary joke, consider that although the painter painted a tiny moon, the comic artist managed to draw a large moon.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump says he regrets nominating Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and BarrettEnglish
61·2 days agoIf I was on the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, I’d push to give the next Nobel Peace Prize to Obama again.
Oompa Loompas were always edible.
In fact, they were bred that way, so that you could take them on trips with you, but if you run out of food, you can just eat the Oompa Loompas.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump ads paid for by US government allegedly violate anti-propaganda lawsEnglish
5·3 days agoIt’s all due to legal liability. Even in your example, it’s theoretically in the realm of possibility that the cops found the person stabbing a body that was already dead. It’s stupid, but if they just say alleged, most of the possible lawsuits just go away.

5·6 days agoJim Jordan is certainly somebody who would be in prison right now if there was justice.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Animals with Misleading Names by Bird and MoonEnglish
4·7 days agoIf you look at the Wikipedia pages for many of these animals, they’ll use terms like, “true eel,” “true goat,” and “true cobra.” I guess that’s how they generally handle animals that share common names despite not technically being in the correct family or whatever.
I looked up the etymology on “kite”, and it’s quite interesting. Apparently, its original use was to describe a hawk whose call sounds kind of like “kite”. Then it was used more generally to describe all birds in that family.
The kite toy was named after the bird, because the bird tended to try to sit on some wind while hunting, so it was basically hovering like a toy kite.
The action of leading an enemy around is named after the toy kite, because a kite in flight is always the length of the string away from the person flying the kite. So, like if you tried to run from the kite, it would always be the same distance away chasing you. You’re leading the kite around on a string. And so you would kite an enemy in the same sense.

politics @lemmy.world•Cohen introduces impeachment articles against President TrumpEnglish
7·8 days agoI listened to today’s “The Daily” podcast from New York Times, titled “The Life, and for Now, the Death of the Kennedy Center,” and honestly, if just the things they stated as factual in that episode are true, I personally would consider Trump’s actions on that issue alone to be worthy of removing him from office.
Impeachable? I’m guessing probably not, but only because I don’t think Congress would vote to impeach him for it. But when you lay out what Trump did and why he did it, he’s a person who shouldn’t be allowed the tiniest bit of power. A cashier at McDonald’s has at least a hundred times more responsibility than Trump should be allowed.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Tired of expensive disposable batteries and rechargeable AA suck. So I made a 10k mAh pack for my deadbolt.English
2·9 days agoI guess if you had french doors and opened the “wrong” door, it would be similar to a reversed deadbolt.
If you assume that the aliens who might come across Voyager 1 would be at least as advanced as us, they’d probably know that a civilization that is cool doesn’t need to try to look cool.

Technology@lemmy.world•Engineer says Claude Code has made his job "soul-sucking" as workers spend 12-hour days pressing enterEnglish
311·10 days agoThe engineer added that employees are now pressured to ship products as fast as possible, leaving them with little time to review Claude’s output or understand the code being created.
Companies have always pressured software teams to ship products as fast as possible.
What’s new is the part where all of the worst coders can shit out code a lot faster and pretend like they’re doing a good job. It used to take them a while to write garbage that they didn’t understand or review themselves, but now they can do it so quickly that it makes the actual good coders look like they’re taking a long time.
This is why you absolutely have to have documented coding and review standards. The idea that you’d ship any code that has never been reviewed by a human is horrifying.
The idea that you’d work 12 hour days is so stupid to start with. I’ve seen people consistently work that long and… surprise, they don’t actually work that long. They work about the same as anybody else and goof off the rest of the time. I doubt you can even just press enter for that long. People just don’t work that way.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins Tells Americans To Change Their Diet If Beef Prices Are Too HighEnglish
3·11 days agoI also enjoy beef. I had been trying to cut back on red meat for health reasons, but recently, with the stuff that Trump has been doing, like cutting back safety and importing beef of unknown origins, I just completely stopped eating beef.
I don’t want to have to keep up with the news in order to know what’s safe to eat.

Technology@lemmy.world•Trump says the US is officially renaming AI to ‘super intelligence’English
2·11 days agoIf we ever have free elections in the future, whoever the next president is should order that Donald John Trump be officially and irrevocably renamed to Orange Adolph Hitler, and all of Trump’s properties be seized, demolished, and rebuilt into affordable housing.

5·11 days agoMy first thought was wondering why The Onion chose Super Intelligence instead of the more believable American Intelligence, which keeps the AI abbreviation. I really just thought this was going to be some worse Onion knockoff website.

politics @lemmy.world•Texas Democrat under fire for honoring convicted abuser Chris Brown at concertEnglish
53·13 days agoBrown pleaded guilty in 2009 to felony assault against his then girlfriend, music star Rihanna. He also awaits sentencing in a UK incident in which prosecutors alleged he hit a music producer over the head with a bottle. Brown pleaded guilty to a charge of “affray” in that case.
I think there’s no need to keep saying “allege” when he’s already pleaded guilty.
I feel like that a pig that talks and can remember long passwords is exceptional compared to other pigs. I’m reminded of a story that Norm MacDonald told about an exceptional pig.
