It’s just transposing the perspective the quote was “gargle my balls”
kerrigan778to World News@lemmy.world•Xi and Putin overheard talking about organ transplants and immortalityEnglish14·3 days agoNever underestimate a scientists, especially an engineers ability to arrogantly misuse and misunderstand science outside of their specific area of practical experience.
According to graduate surveys 454 entomology degrees were awarded in 2023 in the USA, the most common type being a Masters. According to statista an estimated 4,200,000 people in the USA received higher education degrees in 2023, it is therefore reasonable to assume that roughly 99.99% of the USA already had an entomology degree.

Well yes, but bugs are also crustaceans. You could argue it’d be more accurate to say bugs is shrimp.

kerrigan778to News@lemmy.world•Cracker Barrel quietly removes DEI and Pride pages from its website after logo upheavalEnglish9·7 days agoJust watch me as I continue to never go to a cracker barrel ever in my life because of how fucking irrelevant they are. I don’t even know where the nearest one to me would be.
The line is generally one of respect. Not a lot of cis women like the idea of guys who mostly care about their vagina either. Makes one wanna choose the bear.
I’ve done this irl (with meat not with my butthole) and I would just like to say that I also hate you very much.
What a weird effort to shoehorn leftist purity testing into everything.
Okay, if we’re going to do the math on typical consumer usage lets talk in less worse case scenario terms, an iphone 16 depending on the model has around a 15 Wh battery, a typical consumer uses lets say 80% of their battery life per day so we’re looking at charging 12 Wh per day, QI2 reports as much as 93% charging efficiency, that seems optimistic though, let’s say 80% average, and let’s also generously say wired is 100% efficient (it’s not but whatever). This makes the math easy, we’re wasting 3 Wh per day to wireless charging vs wired. Across 200 million devices, all concurrently being actively daily used and wirelessly charged we’re looking at 600MWhs. That’s quite a bit, it’s about enough to get a single Boeing 747 3/4ths of the way across the atlantic ocean. Or two private jets a round trip. There are about 1400 transatlantic flights per day on average. This would use about .0007% of the worlds electricity generation.
A ten minute cold shower vs a ten minute hot shower saves more energy than a month of wireless charging wastes. It is. Not. Significant. We’re talking like 150WH a day wasted being the absolute upper reasonable limit. More likely especially with qi2 we’re talking about maybe 30WH a day wasted. That’s about 3/4 of a teaspoon of gasoline if you’re curious. I don’t own a car for the record though, I bike or ride transit everywhere. Also, I basically don’t ever have to buy replacement charging cables. Somehow I’m not worrying about the energy lost to my wireless charger.
I will never buy another phone without wireless charging. Yes, I know it has significant downsides. I do not care, I am hard on my ports, wireless charging doesn’t break. Given that qi2 is now available as a standard and blunts the severity of the downsides as well … Realistically not buying another phone until I can get an unlocked bootloader qi2 phone with decent specs.
It feels very Portland but I don’t recognize it for sure and it wouldn’t be out of character for several other cities either.
Tons of people did, that was kind of the problem.
Oh you’re right! My bad I didn’t read the fine print.
You can tell they’re opportunists by the fact that they’re career politicians.
