One of the guards hired for these bunkers "joked" that if shit ever went sideways they'd just kill the billionaire and take the bunker for themselves

Even when it's just a dead insect?

Most of the time it's the social aspect that is infectious. It gives you something in common with other fans that would otherwise be strangers to you

"The greatest argument against democracy is a conversation with the average voter"

That's for schoolgirls. Now here's a course with some chest hair.

[Draws a meandering line on the chart]

I was researching new vacuum cleaners recently, and found one of those websites that allegedly test and compare different ones.

One of the entries had wording to the effect of "This vacuum cleaner may have a weight of , and might have feature " etc.

It was fucking AI generated garbage that didn't even know anything about the vacuum cleaner so it started speculating.

No. Why the hell would I want the end of my dick chopped off??

The US is already sanctioning itself through tariffs, and the rest of the crap is domestic problems.

Last I heard the number of people who have simply vanished after these kidnappings was well over 10,000. Were they all deported? Nobody knows.

Be like us Brits and measure short distances in metric, long distances in Imperial, yet struggle to convert between them.

GPS navigation gets frustrating. It's either metric "turn left in 4km" when all road signs and speeds are in miles, or imperial "turn in 200ft" when you have no idea how long 200ft is.

The threshold for "rich" here seems extremely low. £45K household income? Two people on £23K exceed that.

Where blurple

Underwater swimming on a game that wasn't built around it. Every single time it's a frustrating battle with poor camera angles and imprecise controls.

Oh I'm above the thing I need to collect but slightly out of grabbing range, all I need to do is go straight down... And now I'm 20ft away.

I used to feel a small prang of guilt about that but then I saw the CEO of the company I'm working for building a second helipad outside because apparently having one helicopter wasn't enough, and I stopped caring.

That's the median disposable income, which is significantly lower than the gross income used and misrepresented in this study.

The full time minimum wage is £23,809. That would mean a household with two people earning minimum wage would be classed as rich here.

Yeah it's worrying seeing so many people my age claiming that they are falling apart. I'm 35 and my body is fine. The only wonky thing is that my face feels like it sets on fire if I yawn incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure that's a TMJ injury caused from stress clenching rather than age.

Social media is doing serious damage to people's mental health, especially the non-anonymous ones. It's a good thing that it's being clamped down on.

There's a study being commissioned in the UK on why there are record numbers of young people that are NEETS, and why there is a mental health crisis. I'll bet that social media is found to be a major factor.

It works the same way they can fine domestic businesses: Pay up or we'll stop you from doing any more business in this country.

In the context of a website like 4chan that means pay the fine or get blocked by every UK based ISP.

Fucking hamsters writing comments on Lemmy

None of us do. Most of us have started using VPNs ever since this law came into effect.
