Stealing a response from u/Ok_Aspect2804

300,000 tons is roughly 2.2 million barrels — about half a day of total U.S. distillate use.

Strait is still closed and inflation/gas prices continue to rise.

Thank you Donald Trump, so much winning!

So he's funding Russia, and barely offsetting the price of fuel for starting a war with Iran, and ignoring all the other issues he's caused.

Funny that an anti-mask group asked him to speak considering that him and Teller filmed this. https://youtu.be/RfdZTZQvuCo

Bots advertising crypto scam. If you look at the first comments they're essentially all the same nonsense and just adding in random buzz words associated with crypto/ai.

They honestly feel a bit like a satirical version of North Korea by isolating themselves with certain policies, and making crazy threats to anyone they can.

I actually thought your instance was dead for a while. Kind of funny finding out it's still around on a post about another instance being offline.

It's an issue with VA panels starting cold. You probably notice that it's more common when the temperature in the room is cold.

If your monitor has a startup graphic when powered on, or its settings menu appears at the bottom of your screen/overlap with the affected area, you'll know the issue is with the panel and not your gpu/cables if the artifacts appear over top of the menu.

My MSI Optix G24C has the same issues (uses a VA panel manufactured by Samsung), and can take a couple min to warm up if the room is cold and hasn't been used in a while. The issue typically goes away in the summer/resolves itself faster.

Just count the number of toes to make sure it's real. Also, it's well known that Elon has two left feet.

I think it might just be your NSFW filter. Not sure if it was always marked as an NSFW community but it is currently.

NSFW Off - doesn't appear in the community list

NSFW On - shows as the top community when searching for Ukraine.

This post mirrors similar posts made in /c/world@lemmy.world and /c/worldnews@lemmy.world where the user making the post was trying to assert that Canada welcomes Nazi soldiers. You can skim my profile for comments I've made on those posts within the last 24hs if you want a bit of context.

Both of the original posts were deleted from their respective communities so trying to follow the comments leads to an error page informing you that the post could not be found.

Here are some screenshots I have of the users' partially censored usernames and the associated post titles which are very similar to the wording in the title used here (I'm using censored names because I'm unsure if naming users is against the rules).

I'm guessing that this is getting pushed due to a recent incident involving a Canadian House of Commons speaker, and trolls have been trying to push Ukrainians as Nazis since then.

And crop out all the other scattered "fuck spez" messages?

Depleted Uranium has a half-life of ~4.5 billion years making it fairly safe to be around.

The real issue is that Uranium is a heavy metal but that's kind of a moot point since the alternatives are also heavy metals. The US isn't the first to donate DU round's either, The British Defense Ministry already confirmed that they would provide these rounds back in March, 2023.

It's also better to use fewer of the more effective rounds than needing to use more of the less effective alternatives in terms of spreading heavy metal around. They're only controversial because "radiation scary", and not because they're a heavy metal.

Have you checked that you haven't blocked the person posting?

Also, those posts in the signed out view all have the English tag set, you may need to go into your settings and add English to your selected languages. Keep Undetermined selected as a fallback for when people do not set a language for their posts/comments.

They automated mirroring posts from Reddit as a way to add content here (don't provide links to original posts either or make it clear that the content is mirrored). They don't really vet what they post either. Something thing they reposted from reddit was a person asking for help picking out PC parts for a gift, a post which the original poster would never see, and people here would just be wasting their time replying to a bot post instead of helping the OP. They've also repost the same article to the same community a couple hours later.

https://lemmy.world/post/51345527/25587759 A lot of the comments in this post point out that they are using AI to make posts and respond to comments.

A lot of the comments I've seen promoting AI sound very similar to ones made around the time GME was relevant or cryptocurrency. Often, the conversations sounded very artificial and the person just ends up repeating buzzwords/echo chamber instead of actually demonstrating that they have an understanding of what the technology is or its limitations.

Why did AI give the dog jiggle physics?

A little more complicated than that, if you want to go to a community hosted on your instance (in your case lemmy.ml), you would go to https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy. This is different from the Ask lemmy hosted at lemmy.world.

To navigate to this community hosted on lemmy.world from your instance, you would instead use https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy@lemmy.world /c/@

Using an "!" !asklemmy@lemmy.world lets you create a clickable link for other people to a specific community.

Ai generated trailer, the face around ~2:10 is pretty bad.

AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During the development and live service of the game, AI-based tools may be utilized to support in game visual content creation, marketing materials, live chat translation features, and partial in-game dialogue and script localization. In all such cases and regardless of the workflow, the final product is a reflection of our own development team's creativity and artistic expression.

I'm not sure if just deleting/GDPR an account is enough to get all of their comments removed.

You need to navigate to subscriptions and uncheck a couple boxes there. Whenever you claim a free game, they automatically subscribe you to their newsletter and marketing email list, and you have to unsubscribe again.

Should have used an everlasting pill if they didn't want to be tracked by their poop.
