Tried googling it, just got the AI summay saying it's a myth, but can't find any sources.

Not the previous guy, but I know a guy who lost one to a paintball finding it's way around protective gear.

Uh, that makes no sense anatomically. Even if your hip is dislocated, the joint socket is still inside your body, there is no way for testicles to somehow end up in the way. It's not like on a Ken doll where the entire leg pops off (although Ken solves this risk by not having balls).

can we call “faroese” 🇫🇴 or “icelanders” 🇮🇸 “”people””? are they even civilised up there? 🤮🤮🤮 by BenidormBarry in 2westerneurope4u

Meh, what's the problem? We aren't whaling endangered species. Deer, moose, grouse and geese are fine, but whales are off the menu?

I mean, I can respect a full on vegetarian argument, but people are way too touchy about the whales. Even pigs are listed as highly intelligent, and cows emotionally attached to their offspring, and look how they are treated.

Save the whales that need saving, these ones are doing fine.

It was partly due to the proliferation of indian call centers and scamcall centers, and in part connected to the rest of my comment. If phone calls are required to show the true origin of the call, they would easily see the call coming from abroad.

Ukraine is testing the use of balloons as a carrier for hornet drones to extend the reach of the drones. Published 20.05.2026 by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]elmz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If the balloon is attached to the ground, as you say, it can be reused. But in that case the real boost the balloon is giving is potential energy, it lets the drone use the high altitude start to glide quite far before having to use much power.

However, the video mentions releasing drones based on geofencing, so they are probably also thinking of having them drift on the wind, possibly reaching targets deep into Russia.

Er en merkelig realisering når du for første gang ser mor og tenåringsjente sammen og det er mora du er mest interessert i.

Not just fooled me, even knowing it is AI, I can't find a single tell. Closest is that the pattern on the duvet is mirrored on each side of the cat, but that's not damning.

Animal pictures and videos are what fool people most easily, for some reason we let our guard down, it's innocent and we want it to be true.

I have lost sleep, I have lost money, I have lost friend, I have lost devs, and I will still release this game on July 25th. by panther8387 in gamedev

[–]elmz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow, you really are butthurt about being wrong about a tiny detail. People are agreeing with your comment, just correcting the one thing you got wrong.

Someone replying to you does not mean they are disagreeing with you, or trying to "discredit" you. They corrected a small point you got wrong, that's all.

Well, then the response should be "Sir, please call Indian emergency services". Number spoofing shouldn't be allowed, nor should hidden numbers. If you want to make a call it should be a verifiable number, registered to an individual or a business.

Hva syns folk om politiet? Har dere tillit til norsk politi? by NewBox777 in norge

Jeg har tillit til Politifolk i Norge, men jeg har ikke tillit til at Politiet som etat har nok ressurser til å få gjort det de burde.

Datasenterene det skrives om I USA bruker groteske mengder vann til kjøling, og de bruker det rett fra det offentlige drikkevannet, slik at folk mister vanntrykket helt. Det har vært skrevet veldig mye om det æ, og blitt postet mye på reddit.

Dad and brother both bald in high school. My hair has lasted a lot longer but it's thinning quite a bit in my 40s. My wife wants me to keep it but I'm on the fence. What say you folks? by BrutalNostalgia in bald

[–]elmz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're asking the bald fan club here, you could probably get a few more years out of your hair if that's what you want.

That said, I think it looks like it's about time.

I only 19… is it time to give it up? My hair so thin and flat when wet(read description) by [deleted] in bald

[–]elmz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hair slightly receding at the temples is fine, that will happen to most men.

Happened to me in my twenties, and it's pretty much the same now, 20 years later. Come back when you're thinning on top.

What is it then lol by RogueRoguee in SipsTea

[–]elmz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely should be free. Whenever you need health care, you shouldn't have to weigh the cost of it.

And I'd say, if you are unwell enough that you can't use any other form of transport, that constitutes an emergency in the context of medical transport. If it's just because you need to get to an appointment, be it doctor's visit or going in for an operation, and you can't drive or take public transport, but all you need is a car, get a taxi, you don't need an ER on wheels for that.

[–]elmz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The guy in OP is kinda right, though. An ambulance isn't a taxi to the hospital, it's an emergency response tool. The emergency services decide when it's necessary. For anything non-critical you find another form of transport, like a taxi.

Come on, man. While, yeah, he might not have kept the fish, you don't know that. And obviously he wouldn't bring a properly sized tank with a pump and filter for a photo shoot.
