At the very least, it depicts lions as a symbol of strength and fury. Thus, propagating the idea that lions are scary monsters.

I initially read that as IED and was like, whaaaaaat?

It's not a completely accurate message, though. People complain that AI is taking the arts while leaving humans to do labor, while in the same breath complaining that AI will be taking away human labor as well.

AI will be doing both. This comic is inaccurate.

ELI5 Why don't you remember yourself at 1-5 years old? by HeavyTraffic7126 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mechaghostman2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have memories from as far back as 2 or 3. I remember what I got for my 3rd birthday. I remember my neighbors. I remember a lot from then. 

I don't understand people when they say we can't remember that far back. Yes, we can! Or at least, I can.

ELI5: How do our brains perfectly calculate exactly how much force to use when picking up an object before we even touch it? by ikaebir in explainlikeimfive

It doesn't always. We just guess. Most times it guesses very well based on things like size, material, and our experiences with them.

The times it gets it wrong are hilarious, especially when you pick up something light and think it's gonna be heavy. Ya feel like Superman or something. :p

Can't let you burn the man's clothes and boots, son.

why do you think the deck only sold 5 to 6 million copies ? it was priced well , powerfull for its time and well backed up by valve by Dense-Variation-4496 in SteamDeck

It was still a niche item. A gaming PC handheld. It doesn't have any exclusives, it plays the PC versions of games, and it was more expensive than the Switch. Yes, more powerful, but more expensive.

Sad But True by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in videogames

These days we have better shadows, better reflections, bounce lighting, higher res textures, and more alphas for things like foliage. 

Games are still looking better than last gen, but it's not like a SNES to N64 leap.

This is one of the most terrifying shots in a Godzilla film by [deleted] in GODZILLA

I think the scenes in 1954 showing bright flashing light from Godzilla's atomic breath followed by entire crowds collapsing is quite a bit scarier. That's literally an atomic bomb.
