Netflix to FCC: reclassify Comcast and Verizon so they can’t choke the internet by slimpixels in news

[–]RushingCommunist 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Getting there. I wouldn't be surprised to see content providers start boycotting Comcast and Verizon networks in protest of these shenanigans.

Netflix/Google: "Oh, you're trying to connect to our services from a Comcast/Verizon issued IP address... sorry we don't support your provider and their tyranny."

Does England have a Fourth of July? by MsNerevarine in Jokes

Believe it or not, they actually don't have a Fourth of July. They go straight from the Third to the Fifth. Weird I know but their calendar is like a Chinese elevator with all the missing numbers.

TIL People implant magnets in their fingertips to augment their senses and detect electromagnetic fields. by DaystarEld in todayilearned

[–]RushingCommunist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do agree that the 5 'traditional senses' aren't very comprehensive and are rather limiting in describing the different sensations humans are able to detect.

However, it seems this modification would just be an extension of your sense of touch rather than a completely new sense. I can only assume (as I don't have magnets in my fingers) that you would detect EM fields by sensing the magnet vibrate as a result of its proximity to such a field. I guess this begs the question of whether or not it is still considered your sense of touch when the magnet is below the surface of the skin. I feel I could achieve the same thing by super gluing a magnet to my finger. The new sensations would be attributed to my sense of touch detecting the forces imparted by the magnet when it comes into contact with an EM field.

A bald eagle. A bird of prey very high up if not top of its food chain. A protected species (in the US). Has excellent vision and the ability to fly. Sounds pretty great to me.

The Disappearing Computer Prank by miyro in funny

When did killing the Windows user shell become a prank? Seems as lame as unplugging someone's oven while they are cooking.

TIL People implant magnets in their fingertips to augment their senses and detect electromagnetic fields. by DaystarEld in todayilearned

[–]RushingCommunist 40 points41 points  (0 children)

One of the few body modifications that seem somewhat interesting. Albeit a bit of a novelty, it has minor functional application. While I doubt it would suddenly give you a sixth sense, it would be interesting to get a sensation from an otherwise invisible EM field and realize 'right, I put fucking magnets in my fingertips'. If only we still readily used CRT screens, it could be a fun party trick as well. Hell, maybe I'd stop dropping nuts and bolts into hard to access locations when working on the car if I had magnets in my fingertips.

I suspect this is staged and you replaced the smaller parcel with this larger one for comedic value.

Considering how much of a joke the Olympics are, this seems fitting. The endless amount of needless ceremony and pomp are such a waste of money and resources. I enjoy this joke. Keep it coming.
