What noise annoys you the most?
Random douchebags roaring through the streets in their modded cars, especially after lights out. Don't even get me started on the folks who do that and crank up their stereos all the way blasting music.

Has anyone figured out how to do online multiplayer emulators yet?
Well, there's fightcade. It's an excellent platform that emulates arcade and console games from the '70s up through the Dreamcast era.
Dunno if it's on Linux though. :/
EDIT: worth noting that its online MP has never had any connection issues, but it does have ranked matches, so you'll see a lot of folks trying to be the best of the best, and that's putting it nicely.

Any Egyptologists confirm?
And then we have the Epic of Gilgamesh, a 6,000 year old story that reminisces about times long past.

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?
John Kricfalusi, creator of Ren & Stimpy. That man is a demon.

Christians of Lemmy, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an Al photo of him as Christ?
Catholic here.
Frankly, I'm horrified. Not just at Trump's aping of religious imagery, but also at how many former friends of mine still don't see him for the evil that he really represents.

‘This time the bullet won’t miss’: Iran issues chilling death threat to Donald Trump during state broadcast

Wouldn't it be nice to see Trump go down like a sack of potatoes mid self-aggrandizing rant at a press conference or something, and the bonk of his head off the podium to be sampled into a thousand EDM tracks from that moment until the next election?

Why does it seem like so many (young) men these days flock over to types like Andrew Tate?
Because positive masculinity doesn't get clicks like toxic masculinity does, sadly. No shortage of examples of the latter, but there just aren't enough examples of healthy manhood out there to learn from, or at least not enough ones in the algorithms.
What's worse, in so many cases it's assumed that positive masculinity just means being receptive, sensitive, collaborative and being connected with others. These are qualities that are typically associated with women, and a lot of guys shun anything that might make them "look like a woman". Then it's assumed, more or less, that you'll need to be more like a woman in order to not be toxic.
Obviously not true, but this leaves young men in a vacuum. So they fail to live up to their potential, plus they lose out on relationships, are isolated from their peers who could steer them in a better direction, and are without a secure sense of self.
So, in come the Andrew Tates of the world to give them a seemingly easier and better way to cope. Sure, they're told they're special, but then they're fed the notions like "might is right", that there are only winners and losers in this world, and to "get the prom queen". Not wanting to miss out on this is incredibly enticing for these young men, so the manosphere sucks them right in.
It's gotta so, so much deeper than just changing the messaging. Positive male role models and helping young men understand who they are, creating healthy examples of masculinity that are both manly and positive, can make a difference. Without that, the far-right black hole that is the manosphere is going to keep getting more young men trapped in it.

You need to secure a load onto trailer using just plain rope and then untie it later without using a knife - how screwed are you?
Not at all. Assuming I have enough rope, knowing the clove hitch, two half hitches and taut-line hitch means I can secure most loads without worry.

Being in auto body repair, I love this chart. Seeing how other trades use hammers is just fascinating, since it's kind of like a peek into their world.
I'd never have known that a drywall hammer had such a nice blade at the end of it, or that an electrician's hammer would look so unique.
That said, I'd like to have seen a pick hammer. It comes in short and long varieties, which we use to take out high spots from beneath a car panel while also gradually shrinking the metal in that area, before switching sides and tapping it back down.

Nazi Holocaust celebration parade under Zohran Mamdani
Killers don't like to be called out as killers. Interesting. Wonder if that has anything to do with this having more downvotes than upvotes.
Really though, what is Mamdani supposed to do? Honest question.
