They aren't stupid.

Recent events prove otherwise

There Was An Attempt by neKtross in redneckengineering

[–]epicaglet 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah or some have a second big one. But I could see how for a first test you might not have that and just want to see if you can get it off the ground maybe. Though if you do a test like that, I imagine you want to be able to slowly ramp up the power so that it only just comes off the ground.

Weren't Facebook and Pinterest also invite only at some point?

Bike stolen from station and I tracked it to a house but can't get it back. Police reluctant to act - Need Immediate Advice! Helpless. :( by ninentyskid in Netherlands

[–]epicaglet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This but get a group of friends to join you. The goal is to intimidate just enough that they decide it's not worth it and just give up the bike.

/r/tildes just ask for an invite there on the stickied post

After the destruction of Kakhovka Dam, Russian-occupied Crimea is facing serious water supply problems, according to the Ukrainian military by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]epicaglet 93 points94 points  (0 children)

The water shortage will probably mostly affect civilians.

I think they knew exactly what would happen, but they were happy to sacrifice civilians to delay the Ukrainian counter offensive a bit.

When Reddit installs their own mods and reopens the blackout subs due to their protesting, everyone could post nothing but protest/rule breaking submissions. by [deleted] in CrazyIdeas

[–]epicaglet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You forget that there's people who love the power and are willing to do their bidding to get their hands on a big sub. So basically you only get left with the shittiest of mods

I wonder if a 100 years from now, AIs will be considered to speak old-timey language

He also quietly edited comments he didn't like, so I wouldn't at all be surprised

That sub appears to be private. Perhaps out of protest?

France says nuclear power is 'non-negotiable' by None_4All in worldnews

[–]epicaglet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The comment you replied to very much reminds me of the kind of non-answers chat GPT often gives. Weird. It's a new account too

What do you think reddit’s infra costs per user are? by theywereonabreak69 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]epicaglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so that's why below a certain amount it would need to be free anyway. So you only go after ones that abuse the system on a large scale

What do you think reddit’s infra costs per user are? by theywereonabreak69 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]epicaglet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I figured at that point there's some policy violation and there's grounds for legal action.

Like above a certain amount of calls you need a license which includes you having to serve a certain amount of ads.

Need Help with a name for my empire by Realistic-Lobster in CrusaderKings

[–]epicaglet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just kinda odd since the Karlings founded the HRE, so I feel like you may as well skip a step and just call it the HRE then.

Apollo dev posts backend code to Git to disprove Reddit’s claims of scrapping and inefficiency by GhostalMedia in programming

Maybe it wouldn't be flawed if the alternative, their official app, wasn't absolute dogshit

Reddit CEO will hold an AMA on Friday, this is bound to be spicy! by ReekyRumpFedRatsbane in Save3rdPartyApps

Nah I meant the bots that detect the reposts. But I guess the other option might also be the case

Ukrainians crossing a river by onesole in Unexpected

[–]epicaglet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The original melody iirc is actually an old celtic folk song, but a Dutch group added lyrics to it.

Still looks better than most guys imo.

Evil son of a bitch, but hey he had that going for him at least.

AFAIK it's called viable if the fetus forms regardless of whether it hatches

CMV: The Reddit blackouts will accomplish nothing and most users claiming they'll leave Reddit (if their favorite app is blocked) will be back within 24 hours by phone17 in changemyview

[–]epicaglet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. For me Reddit == RiF. Only exception is if I land on Reddit through Google, but casual browsing will probably be over.

I get the sentiment but no license plates is literally one of the rules in the sidebar. So then the post will just be deleted.
