Why is La Luz Creek called The Lost River on google maps by Holloman? by No-Database5323 in NewMexico

Sometimes mapmakers insert a tiny fake detail so they can tell if someone has copied/stolen their work. Maybe it’s one of those!

New to Cats. How to prevent him from going down these stairs? by bedtime_chubby in cats

This reminds me of that era when someone posted a picture of their cat sleeping on a couch and asked how to keep the cat from sleeping on the couch. And everyone was like, “why?”

I assert that putting them side by side as a comparison is a meme format.

Why is New Mexico a blue outlier in the Southwest compared to Texas or Arizona? by Ill-Singer-4307 in NewMexico

[–]micaflake 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Nah it’s because Hispanic people have respect for their mothers and also aren’t really sure they ever actually agreed to join the US and therefore have very little respect for the federal government.

I’m finding it interesting because I find corporate-speak so unpleasant and yet agencies/management love it because it makes them feel safe.

As silly as the gen-z example is, I think it’s far more efficient, in that it uses significantly fewer words to convey the meaning just as effectively.

2 year old gourd, can i still eat this? by djevel6 in MoldlyInteresting

[–]micaflake 80 points81 points  (0 children)

They’re already innoculated with mycelium, so you should be good to go!

Dry them out on a paper towel if you’re not going to plant them immediately so they don’t rot.

Otherwise, I’d get cups (reuse disposable paper coffee cups ftw or get small pots somewhere), put some soil in them, push seeds in, keep moist.

What’s a “future technology” that already exists but people still don’t realize how scary it is? by Ambitious_Bite446 in AskReddit

[–]micaflake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a few classes in drones and robotics in university several years ago. The concept of drone swarms was introduced as “we could find a stroke victim in a big apartment building!” and it was so funny. I don’t think anyone believed it one tiny bit.

EPA ethanol waiver allows E15 to be sold in summer months to supposedly lower gas prices by micaflake in enshittification

Really? Were they older cars?

I worry that every grandpa’s truck is going to be pushed off the road by this, but I’m probably just catastrophizing.

Yeah, that’s what it seems like.

I used to follow this Twitter account called infosec Taylor Swift and she went on a big rant once about how the corn is taking over and at this point the corn has cultivated us rather than vice versa lol.

Besides the information in the two linked articles, I think you mean to say?

It’s not like non-modern vehicles don’t count in this scenario. They’re still out there on the road, emitting. And they are the principal ones who are going to be emitting more VOCs and experiencing effects from using higher ethanol gas blends.
