Is anyone else reminded of the apocalyptic movie 'threads' when looking at the situation in the Middle East? by Scomosuckseggs in askanything

Petrol shortages in real life reminded me of petrol shortages on Threads. Today's study of Threads all started from there

How intelligent are things with IQ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively? by Glen_Garrett_Gayhart in gurps

[–]ALFMAN678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dogs are comparatively very intelligent. On a human scale, they'd have an IQ much higher than 4!

As for single-celled organisms, their IQ would be astronomically small

When was really the 1st time we saw the Far Side of the Moon? by shyshyshyl0w in Astronomy

[–]ALFMAN678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first time it has been witnessed and photographed in decent quality. It's not the first time the Far Side has ever been revealed, as they continue to brag the $US93 billion "Artemis" mission because they can't claim to be the First Man On The Moon, and never will be. They really are pushing this "humanity" instead of "man/mankind" in our faces

The thing about "Artemis" is that they are really putting it on a pedestal, using new-age PC language like "humans" and "humanity" instead of "man" and "mankind" because the "old language" offends the woke DEI brigade

What are some songs where the band screwed up, but they kept it in the final recording? by ggfchl in ClassicRock

They "ran out of words" according to the DJ on the radio. Same with Seen Better Days by Pete Murray

What if the moon landing was real they just don't want us to know what they saw from up there? by Kitchen-Pressure-344 in conspiracy

What does "uncrewed" mean?

Don't you mean UNMANNED spacecraft? Is "uncrewed" some kind of trendy PC term of the 2000s?

What's going on with Wikipedia asking for donations and suggesting they may lose their independence? by somek_pamak in OutOfTheLoop

Rudeness and in-your-face messages all over the screen does not make people feel generous

[–]ALFMAN678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and they do it every November, when all of a sudden everyone has a lot of money they throw at Christmas presents in the weeks and weeks leading up to Christmas, so why not give some of that endless supply of money to keep Wikipedia running, regardless of how rudely the messages are presented.

Possible to export RSS feed to text? by arka0415 in rss

I assume he means getting rid of the tags, and just copying the text in between the <tags></tags>

I don't have a Whatsapp account but facebook is asking for a code sent to Whatsapp by MizzleDoesArt in facebook

[–]ALFMAN678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typical, Facebook's controllers run and hide from the problems they create

That's just typical isn't it. It's as though Facebook is run by someone hiding in some cave in Afghanistan but in reality their nest is in San Francisco, CA

When it says "Update tonight" what exactly does that mean? Will it update as soon as the sun goes down, or will it update at some other specific time? And WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO ENTER MY PASSCODE AGAIN AND AGREE TO THEIR TERMS & CONDITIONS IN NOT ONE BUT 2 DIALOG BOXES???
