Apple is constantly trying to shun gamedevs away from its platform, then from time to time they'll be like "why won't people make games for macs?" and do something like this to try to get them back, but shortly after it'll go right back to screwing devs all over again.

Last time I shared a hotel room with a coworker, they said I make "puppy noises" while asleep. No idea what it was, my wife also doesn't know what they meant.

If he's only looking at the front page, why is he even buying the newspaper? Can't he see it just by walking in front of the place?

Just because the best thing might have been easy to answer, I want you all to think a little more to recall what was the second best thing that happened to you this year.

Why is it framed like it's something extreme?

[-] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 78 points 1 year ago

Rule of thumb:

  • are you making fun or otherwise mocking someone?
  • are you doing it for any "bad reason" whatsoever?
  • are you doing something that is/was primarily done by others for "bad reasons", historically?
  • are you doing something that other groups started doing as a replacement for something else that they were not allowed to (that you are)?

I'm half asleep so I may have forgotten something but if I didn't, then answering No to all of those should be the minimum thing you do.

Fun fact; Hitler is in the good place.

... It was a technicality.

Flashback:

Architect: "man this Hitler dude is so awful, whoever kills him goes to the good place, no questions asked."

Everytime this shows up I wonder if this is really a male nipple or if the creator used a female one just for extra laughs. If it was a serious thing that people actually did it would be hilarious if they were replacing one female nipple for another.

Somehow also reminds me of a story about a singer's album cover released during the latest military dictatorship in Brazil (it was a heavily censored period). Folks went out of their way photographing a woman's asshole with a marble ball on it until they managed to get one that looked like an eye - then used that picture as the album cover.

For weight, yeah. It's still unhealthy for many reasons but if you only care about weight that'the thing that matters

I think they just did some camera trick to cut out most of the travel time and not make the movie longer.

Because the American left would be considered right wing in most of the world.

Anything exciting going on in your field of work this year? Or breakthroughs in science, new technologies developed, things like that.

The best thing about lemmy is that it brings back things like this that I often thought about and really wanted to find again to be able to fill the gaps in my memory, but couldn't remember enough about it to be able to find on Google.

Its not the first time it happens to me. Anyway, thanks op. I had given up hope on finding this one again.

Some news that would be completely mundane today but scary or shocking in the past.
