Pity, really.
  • To be fair, the overwhelming majority of people regardless of age don't know what LaTeX or markdown are. Not the best examples. I'm a millennial with a 4 year STEM degree and I maybe used LaTeX once because it was required, and before Discord became a thing, I'd never heard of markdown. Most people who use Discord probably don't even know it supports markdown.

  • Stone Rule
  • I mocked his position and delivery actually because I said he also has poor reading comprehension. I read their entire chain of comments before replying, and it was evident @blindbunny@lemmy.ml was having issues reading and understanding the messages @disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world was sending.

  • ‘FUN WITH LASERS’ [OC]
  • Cute comic, but for the unaware:

    According to John Ciribassi, DVM, DACVB, the problem with laser pointers is that they lack an endpoint. Nothing is ever physically caught. Even if the cat is “successful,” there's no reward. Such pointless play, says Dr. Ciribassi, can cause some cats to develop a compulsive disorder.

  • I'd believe this with how much I see Steve-O drinking it on his YouTube channel. The dude made a point to drive a whole ass vending machine of Liquid Death across the country to his new home lol. At his previous home in California, it was apparently up against the coping of the half pipe in his backyard so you could do trick off of it.

  • Why does it feel like too much effort just to go from sitting around looking at garbage online to simply watching a film or playing a video game?
  • Vitamin D deficiency as well!

    Nearly 42% of adults in the United States have a vitamin D deficiency. This figure rises to almost 63% in Hispanic adults and 82% in African American adults.

    If your shadow is longer than you are tall, you are not getting enough ultraviolet radiation to produce vitamin D. You need about 15 minutes a day.

    Some of the symptoms are fatigue and depression

  • Everything must be a subscription service
  • @ch00f@lemmy.world said, "Even if it was free..." which implies he's talking specifically about the paid button on the right and not the free button on the left.

    The implication being even if the chilled and filtered water was also free, having to open an app for the button to work would be bullshit.

  • Orange juice makers consider using alternative fruit as prices skyrocket
  • There’s a dirty secret in your glass of orange juice. Even though it says “not from concentrate,” it probably sat in a large vat for up to year with all the oxygen removed from it. This allows it to be preserved and dispensed all year-round. Taking out all the O2 also gets rid of all the flavor. So the juice makers have to add the flavors back in using preformulated recipes full of chemicals called “flavor packs.” Mmm, delicious, fresh-squeezed ethyl-butyrate!

  • TIL eating 1 gram polar bear liver can be fatal due to an overdose of vitamin A that makes your skin fall off
    animals.howstuffworks.com Will I die if I eat polar bear liver?

    If your favorite diner's blue plate special is ever sauteed polar bear liver, you may want to stick with salad. This meal can cause symptoms far beyond indigestion.

    Will I die if I eat polar bear liver?

    > A healthy human liver contains 575 international units (IU) of vitamin A per gram while a polar bear's liver contains between 24,000 and 35,000 IU per gram. Compare that to the tolerable upper level of vitamin A intake for a healthy adult human: 10,000. Signs of toxicity generally occur when approximately 25,000 to 33,000 IU are consumed.

    > Illness severity depended on how much liver the explorers consumed, but symptoms typically included drowsiness, sluggishness, irritability, severe headache, bone pain, blurred vision and vomiting. While milder cases merely involved flaking around the mouth, some accounts reported cases of full-body skin loss. Even the thick skin on the bottoms of a patient's feet could peel away, leaving the underlying flesh bloody and exposed. The worst cases ended in liver damage, hemorrhage, coma and death.

    Does Voyager support saving images to your device?

    I tried browsing this community and using https://fedi-search.com/, but I can't find anything. Does anyone know if it can? If not, are there other applications that can?

    TIL upper atmospheric lightning is terrifying looking

    !Lightning sprites

    Lightning sprites literally look like something out of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and they're frankly horrifying! I can only imagine what ancient civilizations must have thought.

    Ocarina of Time is unplayable 😞

    I ran into this while taking geology courses at university, and the lack of attention to detail by the developers is frankly insulting.

    EDIT: The red line is what the developers did. The green line is what they should have done for realism. Explanation in the comments.
