Google's AI search feature suggested using glue to keep cheese sticking to a pizza
  • 11-year-old posts are fine. It’s not like pizza-cooking techniques become obsolete; if there’s old wisdom I still want it.

    It’s just, you know, better not to quote shitposts, you know?

    This thing where search engines only want new results is actually quite bad. I was looking for advice on exactly how to physically arrange the wiring and connections for some batteries in parallel. SearXNG gave me great results that were really helpful from electricians posting on old forums of varying age. DDG and Google only gave me bullshit SEO sites. But they were new!

  • Despair makes young US men more conservative ahead of US election, poll shows
  • Feminism absolutely arrived because women made themselves a source of trouble.

    I just came back from the National Park at Seneca Falls NY about women’s liberation. Women are even still today working for equal rights, and women’s right to vote came after 70 years of activism and fight.

    We will get improvements to housing, wages, health care, and every other good action we need from our leaders and wealthy powerful society, when we make it more uncomfortable for them to keep helping themselves than to change and help the rest of us — and not one minute before.

  • The drug war devastated Black and other minority communities. Is marijuana legalization helping?
  • I feel like this article is missing the main point. Yes; assholes trying to prevent black and minority success continue to be a thing same as ever.

    But getting the police boot lifted off your neck a little has got to be a good thing, right? Tell me about that! Have arrests and hassling gone down or not?

  • E-bike power limit: BA and ACT urge bike industry to resist 500W proposal
  • I’m not sure if 250W makes sense or any other particular rule, but it wort weight matters too. If a loaded-down cargo bike hits a pedestrian it’s going to hurt a lot more than a road bike collision even at the same speed

  • What happens to little black ants without a queen?

    I have some little black ants in my motorhome. I’m pretty sure I picked them up at my last stop in upstate New York but I’ve since driven far away from there. Wikipedia says little black ants nest in the soil so presumably I didn’t take their queen with me.

    What’s going to happen to this group that hitched a ride? Are they likely to elect a new queen and go looking for a good nesting spot, or curl up and die, or what?

    What's the worst scam you've fallen for (or gotten close to falling for)?
  • So what is actually the deal with CutCo? I know they’re a scam, everyone knows they’re a scam, but this one particular woman I know to be in general not a dummy, says her son spent the summer selling their knives once and made good money.

    Was he just lying to her? How does the scam work?

  • Logistics of binding on a seven day camping trip?
  • CIS male here who went on a lot of camping trips back in the day. I think that staying reliably stealth while changing clothes in a shared tent would be really hard. Changing once with decent odds of nobody noticing — sure. But over the course of a week it really depends how dense your tent-mate is.

    I used to always change my pants in my sleeping bag which is pretty easy. Changing my shirt in my sleeping bag was certainly possible but a lot harder. Doing any of that without my tent partner being able to see what I’m pulling out of my luggage would be effectively impossible.

    OTOH the people I was camping with didn’t really give a shit what I was pulling out of my luggage and weren’t paying attention. They were my friends, it’s not like I was camping with the Spanish Inquisition.

    Have fun, enjoy the trip

  • What happens to my Corpse if I die in a Forest?
  • I’m imagining what happens is they organize a giant search party to look for you (this is not the good kind of giant party) Eventually they find your corpse and put it in a refrigerator for a long time while your relatives argue with the police about whether you were kidnapped and murdered. Somebody pays for all this, maybe the tax payers, maybe your relatives, I don’t know. Then after all that you finally get to have your expensive funeral but on top of being sad, everybody is frustrated.

    I’m thinking, better all around if you just don’t die quite yet because that shit is just awkward.

    Gluck auf!
