Yes, but not competent ones.

Let’s hope the destroy themselves before they elect competent fascists instead of this bunch

I have a switch in the wall that the previous owners thought was so important, they chiseled out the brick wall to install it, but I can’t figure out what it does.

But I’m not brave enough to actually remove, so it’s going to be the mystery switch forever

Wow, this shitpost really hit its mark!

You also forgot my main issue with a LOT of smokers: just throwing their garbage on the ground.

Exactly. Basically nobody in their 30s can, say, drive a manual car without a synchro, unless they specifically practiced it, because there is zero need to learn that skill. And basically nobody under 20 can set port forwarding on a router because there is basically zero need for that skill.

When I wanted sound on Arkanoid, I HAD to learn IRQ settings, so I did. But now that stuff just works.

Nobody ask it how to dress a baby

Just like the woke mob to blow up on you for basically no reason!

Haha, I just had a childhood flashback. My parents had ordered a box full of boxes of business cards, and then the government decided to restructure how phone numbers worked, so I changed the area code on roughly a bazillion businesscards over what felt like several years, but was probably a week.

Pfffft, Prime is SO 2023: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meteoric-rise-stunning-fall-prime-130900275.html

1: the guys making it have a minimum purchase every month.

2: they keep selling less than that, costing them money.

3: charitable gifts are tax deductible

A good, it’s got what plants crave

Ok, so, your point is that eyes have a limited field of view? Yeah, that’s something totally different, and not at all what this was about.

Most people don’t want to break the sacred bond of pretending you’re busy, because then next time, they might get caught for doing the same.

… buddy, have you tried it? Get up, walk to a mirror and test it. You’ll find that the picture shows you what happens

This but unironically. Society would be SO much better if we just did the whole “gender doesn’t matter” thing that started in the 90s instead of the “be whatever gender you feel like” thing from the late 10s.

You’re on yiffit, so the odds are very much against it.

Ok, visualize it like this:

Draw yourself, with a small mirror at head height, a meter away. Draw your reflection at the same distance from the mirror on the other side.

Now do that again, but place the mirror 10 times further. Then draw lines from your eye, to the edge of the mirror, and to the reflection.

You’ll reach the same point on your reflection.

People just don’t understand mirrors.

I did a horrifying experiment in uni with a mirror on the wall, and asked people to point at where they thought they could see their reflection . The obvious answer is of course “when you’re next to it”. A terrifyingly large number of people at a University assumed they could see themselves at a 45 to 60 degree angle, so several step before they actually reached the mirror.

Some of them were even shocked when they walked along it.

Uhhh no, that’s not how angles work.

The further you get away from a mirror, the “further away” the reflection is. You will never see your whole body in a hand mirror, even if you put it on the moon.

As long as it’s perfectly flat.
