I still can't believe that in a system where you need to register to vote, registered voters are not believed to be registered.

I would push back on "never unintentionally hits his parents", but otherwise I agree.

It's dysphoria talking. You could fit two of you behind me.

Congrats!! You're doing something right :)

This reminds me of a dumb thing I do:
I go "well, you know what they say", and then don't say anything else.
Nobody but me has ever thought it was funny, but I get so much joy from it.

Aw thank you 😊 takes one to know one!

I have done that! Usually I just go, "what?"
Like they are weird for asking me.

I remember my dad emptying his retirement savings in the wake of '08. Super fun to be experiencing all this again. Troops in the middle east for extra nostalgia.

Same as the Terraria devs, yeah.
Glad he's found a passion project that makes him happy!

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand cropped memes. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of memetics and linguistics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also the high contrast color pallette, which is deftly woven into the message. Lemmy users understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike cropped memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in longing for the bottom half of the text, "Join our Discord". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the meme's genius wit unfolds itself on their smartphone screens. What fools..

"The rule in question, known as Bredt's rule in textbooks, was reported in 1924. It states that molecules cannot have a carbon-carbon double bond at the ring junction of a bridged bicyclic molecule, also known as the "bridgehead" position. The double bond on these structures would have distorted, twisted geometrical shapes that deviate from the rigid geometry of alkenes taught in textbooks.
...A paper published by UCLA scientists in the journal Science has invalidated that idea. They show how to make several kinds of molecules that violate Bredt's rule, called anti-Bredt olefins, or ABOs, allowing chemists to find practical ways to make and use them in reactions."

Brother, share some of your oats with me

We're trying 😭

Hegseth is worse because he will live longer.

So the implication, not letter, of the 2nd ammendment gives US citizens the right to shoot cops if they are acting as an extension of a tyrannical state. I wonder if there is a case to be made that this executive order infringes on the constitution.
Of course, I don't expect any 2A stans to care.

Took me a second to realise that this wasn't "shots fired" in the colloquial media headline sense.

In all fairness, the article says the Nazi flag boat was hosed down when they tried to join the parade.

It still says a lot that our political climate let them think this was okay, but the people at the rally were not okay with it, or at least weren't okay being that obvious.

The US used over 3.6 million gigawatts hours of energy in 2020. If you round down, and assume no increase in the last 4 years, that's over 9800 per day. 30 is a drop in the bucket. We have combined cycle natural gas plants, along with other green options to pick up for dips in production exactly like this.

A better question is how much energy we gain from solar if losing it for a couple hours once a decade or so is such a big deal.

When I was a kid, my mom was outraged that somebody made the statement, "children aren't their parent's property."
So, yeah
