I pretty much only hear music from around 2004 -2014 played in public. I really couldn’t tell you most new music. I certainly remember 80s music being played in high school but it didn’t totally dominate like 2000s music still does

It’s the Great Plains for sure. I think when your end the Great Plains, you think of the Great Plains as the Midwest and the Rust belt as the rust belt instead of the rust belt
To be honest the plains folk hold up the friendly midwestern stereotype a lot better than the rust belt does

Why isn't anyone farting in school?
Go to the bathroom between passing periods and let one out.
Improve your diet, don’t drink carbonated drinks.
I can’t believe I’m having this interaction on Lemmy

Apple Is Holding the Final Nail for X’s Coffin
Come on Tim Apple. Do it. You know it’s the right thing to do
Actually, with Google recently losing in court where Apple had previously won because Google was exempting some developers from its App Store rules; Apple might be actually inclined to actually enforce its rules in X’s case lest they suffer the same fate

It's time to admit Lemmy has won the "the biggest reddit alternative" award, why it's time for all of us to consider supporting it (here's why) + reopening r/LemmyMigration

That’s the vibe I always got from Reddit. But yeah, the vibe I get from Lemmy is that there are two demographics.
19-45 white male tech enthusiast and 19-45 white trans female tech enthusiast.

Reddit’s IPO Filing Shows Lots Of Losses After Nearly 20 Years
Why would anyone give money to a business who has never ran in the black after 20 years? Just set your money on fire instead

YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround
Tom’s Hardware, Ad Block Plus, paying for YouTube Premium as a “work around”?
Guys this content was by boomers for boomers

Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy.
Great thing about the fediverse is that you have options when admin/moderation actions occur that you don’t agree with. If Reddit were to remove /r/piracy then we’d have no recourse

Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's "Zionist Bar Problem"
This will probably be unpopular but the leftist - liberal infighting is my least favorite part of the fediverse and why I usually end up having to give people a warning before telling them to get on the fediverse.
This drama is kind of the epitome of that

It's a Unix system! Elon knows this!
Is Elon trying to say he deleted his own brain because his behavior would prove that theory

They can’t be happy. The whole platform is to take the country back to before all of society started conspiring against the poor republican voter.
The big lie is that the dog can never catch the car because it isn’t trans people or immigrants or minorities that are oppressing republicans. It’s their politicians, the corruption that is ingrained into the system, and the rich that fight to keep the system rigged that are oppressing them and clearly republicans will never fix that

Are sex dolls in the toy story universe sentient?
Because I hate the implication I have just created new head canon for my own sake. It’s the power of a child imagination and play that brings the toys to life. That’s why the fork comes to life in the fourth movie
So if a child found one abandoned and somehow innocently played with it enough then it would come to life but when used for an adults self-gratification it would not have the requisite for life.
I will not be taking questions on the plothole of why new in box toys are alive

Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban in unanimous ruling
TikTok being banned is good. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter should be banned as well. Closed, source, manipulative and harmful algorithms should be banned and these apps all use dark patterns in their design.
The fediverse and open social networks where the algorithms are open source and well understood and the user is allowed to choose their own algorithms is the only safe way to use social media.

GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles
The PC version will come out with the PS6/Xbox whatever ports come out. Rockstar has figured out exactly how to milk the most sales out of their games

I don’t recommend it, but going bass-to-mouth was a very popular and hyped feature addition for SEGA Bass Fishing. I’m surprised this is the first you are hearing of it

The EU has finally won this one!
Lighting was a good cable when apple made the switch from 30 pin connector and android was still trying to figure out whether they would use microUSB, miniUSB, and whatever the sam hell is. And there was no interoperability
Once USB became the standard their was no real reason to hold onto lightning other than it being proprietary and them wanting to hand hold their users
