'Alligator Alcatraz' Already Ballooning Over $600 Million, Leaked Document Shows
  • The funny thing is the whole "lunches for poor kids" thing started out because so many potential military recruits were unfit service due to childhood malnutrition. The Republicans are literally willing to cripple America's military might because it helps people too much.

  • As an alt girl I approve
  • Uhh... is the lower right supposed to be a bat? I mean I know the medieval standards for art were rather lax, but... wow.

  • Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groups
  • So looking at that chart the average person thinks that (roughly), one in four people are native American, one in four people are Asian, two in five people are black as well as two in five people being Hispanic. Or to use the given percentages the average American thinks that 136% of Americans are non-white. I suppose that explains a lot of the "white genocide" hysteria.

  • Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes
  • At least in my area they've decided to walk back the walk back.

    They went from "Self checkouts are now only for ten items or less" to "Self checkouts are permanently closed" and now they've gone to "Self checkouts can be used for any number of items and also we added four more".

  • Weedkiller ingredient widely used in US can damage organs and gut bacteria, research shows
  • This is why RFK's rumbling about banning glyphosate for his "MAHA" plan is so stupid. If he does ban it, we'll probably go back to widespread use of older and more toxic herbicides.

  • 'Just in': Elon Musk officially launches new political party
  • Let me guess it's logo will be a charging boer... err boar.

  • LA school district demands inquiry after ICE officers filmed urinating on campus
  • Man, is it too much to ask to have housebroken Gestapo?

  • Multiple Texas Farms Shut Down After ‘Almost 100%’ Of Workforce Vanishes Overnight | animalplanethq.com
  • The funny thing is that with Trump sabotaging the US dollar migrant labor may just stop being a thing on it's own.

  • Alligator Auschwitz
  • I am entirely unsurprised that Loomer is cheering for a pogrom.

  • It's not a bug, it's a feature
  • Mimolette is the cheese with bugs. (Well actually actually arachnids, but close enough)

  • Biotech uses fermentation to produce milk proteins without cows
  • I've tried two varieties of biotech milk, both had a mouthfeel almost identical to normal milk. Unfortunately, both of the varieties I've tried have used sunflower seed oil for the fat and that gives the end product a noticeable raw sunflower seed flavor/bitterness which isn't very pleasant.

  • Musk shreds Trump's tax bill as 'DEBT SLAVERY,' vows to unseat Republicans who back it
  • I always knew that the Trump-Musk love affair was gonna end, but I didn't expect it to disintegrate this fast.

  • No criminal charges over British woman shot in US during holiday
  • My best guess is the shooter is either her father or a kid, you know dad goes native and answers the door with a gun now and whoops finger slipped. Or maybe the toddler next door got a hold of daddies pistol and pointed it at the woman in the neighbors lawn.

    It seems like if it were the cops they'd just invoke qualified immunity, put the shooter on paid administrative leave and have the states budget pay off the coming lawsuit.

  • No criminal charges over British woman shot in US during holiday
  • Maybe in this case it's was blatant? Maybe it's because it's a pretty blond woman, which traditionally are rallying points for outrage?

  • ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️
  • I know it's parody, but I'm getting some serious David Dees vibes here.

  • Trump now says farmers may continue employing migrants under a system where they assume ‘responsibility’ for them
  • I've said it before but before I die I fully expect to see some sort of "Right to Labor" (or something) law where companies can press unemployed people into "employment" for prison wages.

  • So there's a new homebrew app for Streetpasses over the internet.

    Since there is no thread about this on Lemmy, I figured I may as well make one in case someone hadn't heard about it.

    Anyway, a new app called Netpass has been released that allows Streetpass over the internet. The app is still kinda rough, a few games like Tomodachi Life have a minor bugs, but for the most part it works almost exactly like if you conventionally streetpassed someone.

    What's up with all the $99 games with a 95+% discount on Steam?

    So I was browsing SteamDB.info looking at the various games on sale when I noticed there were a bunch of games (usually from the publisher Hede, but there's quite a few others) listed as having a discount in the high nineties, yet still costing in the neighborhood of 30-50 dollars. Even odder when I go to the game's Steam, it's not listed as being on sale and costs the... "normal" price of $99.99.

    I'm just wondering A) What the scam is here, B) How a SteamDB.info is getting $99.99 dollar game as costing 30-ish dollars when it's 97% off but at the same time it's apparently not actually on sale?
