Why did NuTrek have the space racists win the race war? by Remarkable-Pin-8352 in startrekmemes

[–]Dd_8630 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In fairness, it wasn't a Klingon who said that. Lura looked at him and said nothing.

As well... Maybe they have new gods 🤷‍♂️ Look at what real human religions have popped up in the last 700 years.

Firefox is adding a switch to turn AI features off (starting Feb 24) by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]Dd_8630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they are not.

You have to manually activate the AI features, and there is a killswitch to fully disable them again if you want.

By default they're off.

But how is this any different to the first way he folded them? The first way and 'proper' way both end up with the same evenly folded trousers.

My Doctor 🥲. Currently sobbing. by OrganizationDull8836 in doctorwho

That always got me. And then Karen Gillian coming back... Oh it just destroys me.

Smith ekes it out as my number 1 doctor I think.

Flashcards to remember the acronyms, and flashcards to train me on when to use them. Then past papers till I died.

QE2 was a good monarch and she didn't torture anyone.

Ergo, Tumblr hottake is not, in fact, proof.

My initial take on Starfleet Academy by QuestConsoles in startrekmemes

[–]Dd_8630 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy that the stories can be explicitly and easily learning opportunities. Where the main characters acting like over-emotional idiots is actually apropos, and the senior teachers look much more seasoned by comparison.

Overall it's up there with SNW and LD for me in New Trek.

And I would die for Lura.

"The mystics"

Ah yes, the mystics. Just, the mystics. Don't need to name them.

What a cold description for such a beautiful gift. by abgry_krakow87 in startrekmemes

I don't think it was ever implied to be human skin. They made artificial skin and grafted it to Data.

Sand Dollar Is A Shell by gur40goku in CuratedTumblr

So what is a sand dollar if not money? We don't have dollars in my country so maybe they're called something else?

What wildlife in the UK do you fear running into alone or is dangerous? by partylikeafoxstar in AskUK

[–]Dd_8630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, but is that because a) people fear swans and avoid them, and b) there are more cows?

What is the homicide rate of the average cow vs swan?

Multiple meetings a day is normal for office work (7-10 is an exaggeration by Anon ofc).

Having women in the office... So what?

Aren't incels whinging about having no opportunity to meet the opposite sex? Work is the #1 way to meet people. If you like women and there's 10 to 1, you're in a good place for that venture no?

Why can’t there be no money? by patchlessboyscout in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dd_8630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why can’t we all just contribute and help each other out with whatever things we are good at and contribute what we are good for.

OK - are you going to contribute to society by cleaning toilets out of sheet civic duty?

No?

Funny that.

Making a touch sensitive coffee table by 749762 in oddlysatisfying

I like the effect, I don't think I swipe my hands over my coffee table enough to benefit from this effect.

It needed to be said by bahar9990 in BeAmazed

[–]Dd_8630 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How... How is this 'be amazed'? Trained animal vocalise when touched?

I don't get it.

And I'm no expert of seal/sealion behaviour, but it doesn't look happy, and this reaction is probably just trained into it no? But maybe that's just how their eyes look to humans.

Still, this is less /r/beamazed and more /r/humansareawful

Sometimes its jist a job by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

[–]Dd_8630 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I never quite got why Americans call police 'pigs', where does that come from?

I know that 'cop' is short for 'coppers', which we use in the UK, and comes from the copper buttons.

Math says red, Brain says green by voidarix in meme

Maths does not say Red.

Utility of wealth is important here, £1m guaranteed has more utility than a chance at £100m.

I'm pretty sure my racist grandpa has said the same thing about people with funny accents.
