On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid?

Bears can be trained to drive cars and communicate through various means, it's thought they may be as smart as great apes like gorillas. This is why they were a choice circus animal for a long time.

Yes, this should be terrifying information.

Why does dumping water out of boots have instructions? Isn't it like dumping water out of any other container?

Yeah smart kids can be very immature

That's what a kid pretending to be an adult would say.

When I was your age, no kids did that, 'cause we had no damn internets back then. We had to actually walk outside to talk with others.

Ever since I was a wee flipflop I always liked to learn from my friends (and yes I was that gullible naive friend) but now even in my 20s it’s still fun to learn outside a classroom. I don’t have to worry about my terrible memory not keeping all the info, if it sticks it sticks

What I wrote -- Very easily impressed with basic factual statements

What you think it means -- there's something wrong with people who are learning new things.

Does ''basic factual statements'' mean ''new information that someone is just now learning''. Can it also apply to information they already know, or believe is true? Can it also be referring to basic knowledge nearly everyone knows?

Does 'being very easily impressed' include a situation where someone reacts to information in a typical fashion? Does it exclude adults learning or recognizing factual information and responding with a simple agreement, such as 'yeah that's true'? Or is this an indication that an overreacting response is the dead giveaway?

1. Did the sentance make a claim something is wrong with being a child?
2. Did the sentence claim that learning new information is likewise something wrong?

Please write one 5 sentance paragraph explaining your opinion on the above two numbered questions. Proofreading will not be necessary.

A youtuber who was relatively popular with enlightened centerists around 2019. Links so you can look on and cringe:

• A video where he regurgitates right-wing talking points directed at his cat in the name of "satire"
• An actually funny video about top 10 lists
• The video that made his channel really take off
• "Should we dehumanize our political opponents?"
• Man-made satire beyond mortal comprehension.

He also would attend rallies and spout political gibberist

jreg is a youtube who (ironically?) claims to be anti-centrist, meaning taking an extreme stance on everything, regardless of which extreme.

I'm just glad I decided to go full moral relativism right away back then. It was a good way to speedrun maturity, although I did maintain some kooky beliefs into early adulthood such as

• "if you are not multilingual you can't be a good person, and the more languages you speak the better of a person you are"
• "The Democratic party is a puppet of the Republican party, and in reality the U.S. is only pretending to be a two-party state"
• "The age of consent should be 25."
• "Evil people can be good functioning members of society, so we shouldn't discriminate against people who hold evil beliefs as long as they are nice to others."

It was exhausting. Opposite reason from you, there was only middle ground, no black and white allowed. But it came from the same mental place. Pride, arrogance, nieveté.

I would die without autocorrect. I grew up with "mom, how do I spell (word)" and getting "sound it out", witch werks grate in Inglish...

It's interesting to meet someone else who also struggles with an overuse of parentheses and ellipses (I didn't know what they were called, thanks for that!).

This is a complete shot in the dark, but do you also happen to be on the spectrum? (I have nothing to base this on expect my theory that overclarification could be more common among neurodivergent people)

Edit: ellipsis -> ellipses

Or any other election year, for that matter. I don't think a third party candidate has gotten a significant voter block in 100 years.

I agree with you. Do you think people become more conservative with age or is it society becoming more progressive and leaving them behind? Obviously ignoring the current regressive times of the last eight+ years there.

To contribute an answer to the original question I offer this post as evidence of age- thinking about how much has changed during my life may have come through above.

Because if enough people do that, it actually can result in that state not "doing what it always does."

Assuming voting for X is going to result in Y getting elected over Z "anyways" is not a good strategy for getting what you want.

Bro is fluent in yappanese 💀💀💀

I (female bodied, they/them / nb) am a furry and my wife and I like to pretend that I’m a wolf and I’m hunting and eating her. What can we make that will look and feel like real organs I can “rip” out of her stomach and eat, and what could we use for fake blood that would be the easiest to clean up?

Absolutely based, all the rest of us plebs just need to learn about the depth and power of their kinkiness. Cheers to their banquet.

Having just turned 43, I can tell you that I don’t think I became an adult until my early/mid 30s.

Not at least understanding the difference seems irresponsible.

To be fair: there are many things where compression is a waste of CPU time, like fonts and about 90% of non-text media as they're already compressed

I mean, I think it's a good idea to enable it on a laptop.

I mean if someone steals your laptop they can access all your files without it, and even though 90% of files may be useless there's always chances to find passwords (often reused, even if encrypted can be decrypted if they aren't strong), bank details, documents, etc oh and cookies for your browser sessions etc etc. If I were a laptop thief (which I'm not) I'd probably look for those too before formatting everything, that could be extra money.

That's why I encrypt my laptop's drive. That way even if it's stolen the only thing I have to really worry about is not having a laptop anymore.

Encryption everywhere isn't about the individual content. By making it ubiquitous, it's harder for bad actors to separate the encrypted data they want from the one's they don't. If only special content is encrypted, then just the fact that it's encrypted is a flag for them. It also makes it much harder to ban. It's pretty much impossible to ban the algorithms in TLS at this point. Too much depends on it.

Me too. But in my view they are not fully developed adults and still have some emotional intelligence left to grow.

lol. While writing that out, I had that thought too, but decided that saying it was more of a feeling was vague enough that I could hide behind that when someone inevitably pointed out it could apply to some adults, too.

I do feel it’s noticeable - an adult that has some sort of social struggle vs a kid. But it’s like… A kid seems to make statements that come from a place of naïveté, whereas an adult seems to make statements that come from a place of ignorance. Adults seem to couch their words in defensive language, while kids seem kind of blindly assertive. It truly is more of a feeling, I think.

Damn it.

And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling adults. I gonna go eat my Kraft mac & cheese.

The benefit is more so for other users on other instances. Lemmy.world in particular is causing a lot of trouble for small instances hosted outside Europe and North America. For example in aussie.zone local communities comments are taking 8 days to arrive from Lemmy.world because of the latency and how Lemmy processes federation serially. Hopefully in an upcoming release we'll get parallel processing of federated activities making this less of a problem
