It’s like if you were blind and everyone who could see told you that vision doesn’t mean anything.

It's more like if you were blind, tested your running speed, performed poorly, attribute all your problems to being a bad runner, then everyone tells you that running speed doesn’t mean anything.

I acknowledge that there's things that are more difficult for you and that negatively affects your quality of life, but it doesn't sound like those problems are the same ones that IQ tests are measuring. If you care to work on improving your situation, it's important to know what the actual problems are before you can even start trying to address them.

Sad that pepe is still on these lists after all the efforts to take it back.

Following up on another question about open source funding, how does it usually work when there is funding to pay for the dev's work, then someone new joins in and makes significant contributions? Does the original dev still keep everything? Do you split the funds between the devs? If so, how do you decide how much each person gets? Are there examples of projects where something like this has happened?

This should be in the negatives. We have to pay to get papers published in these traditional journals.

Traffic dynamics are really interesting. Even after you clear the obstruction, the traffic jam remains and becomes a "ghost jam" that propagates backwards down the road until it eventually fizzles out.

You ever use a paper cup? That's basically what they are.

You can get a pack of frozen hash browns for cheaper than that. Saves time, money, and tastier imo.

Even the dating market demands experience for an entry level position now.

“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”

This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they're trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.

I suspect this is a problem with posts that have extremely long bodies like this one: https://slrpnk.net/comment/8035803

I'm trying to scroll down to the top first comment and inevitably overshoot. When I i try to scroll back up, it suddenly jumps back to the middle of the OP's body.

I was looking up when babies can safely start eating untoasted bread and one of the images led me to this website that sells... stuff? Are they selling me the question? Who knows.

Then if you scroll down to the related products, you can buy a basketball club for $30, down from $15!

I'm guessing this is some phishing website looking to steal credit cards. I also still haven't found an answer to my original question.

I searched through Lemmy posts with that word. Half of them have people asking the exact same question, and based on the answers, I'm going to conclude that no one knows.

One guess that seems plausible is that it's an AI hallucinated word that's showing up a lot because they're using AI to generate the captions.

Bro took less than a minute to find and share this image. I need to know his indexing strategy.

If you're not familiar with European grocery stores, you'll have no idea what Carrefour is. "Supermarket Giant" makes sense to everyone.

Is it possible for posts to show the domain (TLD and SLD) of link posts?

Use case: I don't want to watch videos so I want to avoid clicking YouTube links. I would like to know that they are YouTube videos without having my phone spend the next minute trying to open YouTube.

Not just about. Literally everything is lethal at a high enough concentration.
