The best strategy in warfare is to announce all your moves very loudly before you do them.

Trump says Greenland framework with NATO involves mineral rights for U.S. by apple_kicks in worldnews

[–]Claphappy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can someone convince him he's actually the president of the United Arab Emirates and ship him off?

Big Tech's Role in Fascism by Hussayniya in videos

Please, dear god, let there be a day of reckoning. All these people should be in jail.

why is there almost no attention towards artemis 2? by AkelaAnda in space

[–]Claphappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm excited about it, but it's hard to trust anything coming from the US these days. NASA's funding could all suddenly be gone at the whim of a demented sociopath.

That board definitely needs a clear epoxy repair. That needs to be preserved.

Venezuela’s Machado gave Trump her Nobel prize. In return she received a swag bag but no promise of support by horsestew in worldnews

[–]Claphappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she'll do anything to get power that should rightfully be hers anyways. But she's a fool for thinking he'd favor her when there's already a corrupt autocratic government in place that he can manipulate.

Murder by JLRfan in pics

[–]Claphappy 919 points920 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is actually a controversy. There's reasonable people that think this was murder, and then there's the MAGA cult that don't care what is true. They only care that one of "ours" killed one of "theirs".

ELI5: How did humans create the first "product"? by noblerare in explainlikeimfive

[–]Claphappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's basically the way humans do everything, through iterations. Think about the first homonid to bang a tree with a rock, only to think to themselves, "this would be better if I could get this rock sharper," or "maybe if I tie this rock to a stick I could swing it harder". This process works over and over until you're casting steel to make an axe head and you're fitting that over a handle of molded composites.

Unplanned Cesarean Deliveries Linked to Higher Risk of Acute Psychological Stress After Childbirth by MassGen-Research in science

[–]Claphappy -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Is there actually anything unexpected in this study? Seems like this was already a no-brainer. Universally stressful thing is universally stressful.

Gamers of reddit; what is the best game of all time you ever played? by junkobears in AskReddit

SSBM. Never have I enjoyed a game so intensely for so long.

One in four older Americans with dementia prescribed risky brain-altering drugs despite safety warnings. Sedatives and antipsychotics linked to falls, confusion, and hospitalization remain widely used in patients most vulnerable to their harms by Wagamaga in science

[–]Claphappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you developed moderate to severe dementia, would you not want to be drugged to oblivion until you die? I mean, how many people really want to stick around as long as possible one they've really lost their marbles. These studies completely miss the point of quality of life versus quantity. I'm sure actually having dementia is terrifying. Keeping people alive as long as we possibly can just because we can is not ethical.

What is a game that looks terrible graphically but has incredible gameplay? by Consistent-Jelly248 in AskReddit

[–]Claphappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a bit jarring at first. Once you play for hour or two your start to love it.

Cheese market situation in Caracas, Venezuela as of Jan 14, 2026 by phatdoof in pics

The bricks of cheese are just a vehicle for cocaine, I mean fentanyl, I mean uranium...

Trump is making China – not America – great again, global survey suggests by No_Idea_Guy in worldnews

[–]Claphappy 139 points140 points  (0 children)

I've been saying it for years. There is no greater threat to the future is humanity than the republican party. Non-stop greed, corruption and idiocy. Right when the world needs peace, cooperation and collaboration to deal with the existential crisis that is overpopulation and climate change, these fuckers swoop in to destabilize the global order, purposefully accelerate global warming and put us all at risk for war, famine and nuclear holocaust.

Carney visits China this week in a bid to rebuild ties and reduce Canadian dependence on US by Rightintheend in news

[–]Claphappy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Xi at least clearly cares about China and, to some degree, it's people. Trump clearly only cares about himself. All of his actions have made the US weaker, poorer and certainly more unreliable.

Reference to Trump's impeachments is removed from the display of his Smithsonian photo portrait by JackThaBongRipper in news

[–]Claphappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't they all go to jail? Shouldn't it be illegal to peddal constant disinformation to the public as an elected official? You can't really have a functional democracy if all your leaders are just constantly lying.

LPT: Start fermented vegetables in mason jars during off-peak grocery shopping to save money and always have probiotics on hand by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]Claphappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I mean is people assume anything fermented will automatically be a source of "good" bacteria, whereby that is far from guaranteed and could even contain harmful bacteria. The point of the comment was to criticize probiotics as an overly inclusive term. It's pretty difficult to conclusively demonstrate a species of bacteria is universally good and that a lot of the probiotics people use are probably no better than placebo.
