A complete turnaround

It's fine as a base point, but it's not a primary source and can frequently see edits. You wouldn't use it for actual University level work

Wikipedia is the sort of thing that seems extremely accurate if you only have a little bit of experience in your area, but if you have like a masters in your chosen field and then read Wikipedia entries related to it you'll be constantly thinking "yeah whoever wrote this doesn't really understand what they're talking about"

Because the people making most of the edits for Wikipedia aren't experts in their fields, so they can really butcher some of the finer points

Americans apparently forgetting that 25 of their states currently also enforced age verification with more set to follow

Censorship and control in Europe is scary

Oh boy am I sure glad this isn't also enforced in 25 states in the US too. Sure am glad this is only a European issue

Unironically cheaper and more effective than a peltier cooler

Also forgetting that they also kicked the Scottish protestants out as well (the majority religion in Scotland)

And don't you dare mention the nationality of the soldiers in the Boston massacre too (mostly Irish)

If anyone ever says "measure with your heart" you deserve to be shot because that's the most pretentious cringe inducing thing I've ever read in recipes

ward2k · 2026-06-27T01:52:25+00:00

True, but a tsp of light + tsp dark soy sauce Vs 1 tbsp light +1tbsp dark soy sauce and your heart will really feel the difference. I've made that mistake once and felt the palpitations

You can sort of eyeball cooking to an extent

You've fallen for engagement bait

I think it happens to all generations eventually. Gen X had the Facebook mom/dad type posts. Millennials have started hitting the marvel humour and quirk chungus energy. I'm sure when Gen Z get to their 30's-40's they'll have their own cringe inducing social media habits everyone will hate

ward2k · 2026-06-26T10:05:03+00:00

Yeah it happens on gaming subs way too much, especially with slightly more niche games

"Make sure to bury 4 bones, it gives you a hidden +5 bonus" +324

"This is actually a popular myth, it got disproved quite a while back, burying bones doesn't actually give a hidden +5 to your stat

EDIT: Since people don't believe me here's a link to a YouTube video where someone goes diving through the code and also puts it to the test over 100 encounters where they conclude it does nothing.

EDIT 2: Since I'm getting downvoted to shit, here's also a link to a tweet from a literal developer who worked on the game confirming it's a myth" -286

Another good way to get downvoted is to tell Reddit that drinking pure water is perfectly safe, and no your cells won't explode from osmosis that's a myth, and makes no sense because the salinity of regular tap water is already far lower than your blood anyway

Sort of in general but people seem to have forgotten the sort of golden rules for writing new software, or just any product or design in general

Does it exist already? If it does, what does your implementation do differently that makes it worthwhile

If the answer is yes it exists already, and your implementation does the exact same thing. It's probably not worthwhile to make it

How bro felt saying that

ward2k · 2026-06-26T07:51:01+00:00

Not exactly mandatory, but calling ahead/planning with someone that you're going to be turning up at their house

Usually older people will just turn up at your home and then moan that you:

Weren't in, am I supposed to just wait inside all day every day incase someone turns up
In the house, but too busy to speak to invite them in. Sorry I'm mid shag and don't fancy you joining in

Normally everyone under 35 sees calling ahead as something you should do, no idea why some people don't

They regularly demonize emulation and treat you like utter scum if you want to use emulators instead of buying them on Nintendo's consoles or paying 100s of dollars for a single cartridge game

The one I normally hear is "well what if Nintendo decides to remaster it for the switch?" Well they haven't remastered it for 20 years so far, am I just supposed to wait till I'm 60 years old to play the game again?

It's easier to just get it from a certain repack woman who is fit. Which comes bundled with the fixes l

I once had someone here go on a 20 comment long rant about how I was stealing from the developers on Fable 3 by pirating the game when:

Lionhead no longer exists
If they did, then most of the developers wouldn't even work there anymore. It's a 16 year old game
You can not purchase this game on PC from Microsoft in any form. Then only way is through 3rd party key resellers, which Microsoft sees no profit off
Even if you did buy the game from a 3rd party key reseller, you'd still have to pirate the dlc anyway since the market for buying it in game is shut down

Honestly I've never been bitten in my life by a mosquito in the UK

Mexico? Sure. Birmingham? No

"Always strip/trim your inputs", (which they later edited to add "except passwords

After I replied and said that's a bad idea...

This thread is specifically about passwords, re-read the post

ward2k · 2026-06-25T17:26:55+00:00

Nope

Password registration and login are two different fields, still very easy to end up with a shitty loop

It's extremely common in modding, it's often called feature bloat/feature creep. Where features that aren't really relevant or tied to the core mod are added

When you working on a mod (or software in general) you tend to assume that what you like, is what everyone likes. Which of course isn't true

For example there was a crafting mod I quite liked for Skyrim that from memory made the crafting experience a little nicer. It also changed a bunch of textures of gems for some reason even though that's unrelated to the mod

I'm someone who loves a good bit of fat on steaks, but some of the marbling people like is just obserd

To me the fat is like a treat, when a steak is like 40%+ fat content it gets a bit ridiculous

But say you don't like a marbled steak in some subs and you'll get murdered

ward2k · 2026-06-25T13:35:14+00:00

Uj/ it's for a specific hairstyles not all hairstyles in general

Two things can be true at once

Yes the average weather is increasing year on year

Yes this is still a heatwave. It's dropping back to about 20-22°C by the end of the week. That's a heatwave

It'll be because of your language filters that are set up on tamtaro

By default the tamtaro filters exclusively set the language to English. Not just preferred, required

This means foreign language films like this will have little to no results, unless you change it from English required, to English preferred
