That's wishful thinking, I'm afraid. Nintendo owns the handheld market and now that they've made a handheld their only platform there's no way they're going back to traditional consoles, especially not after the original Switch sold a gazilion units with the same form-factor as the new one but with a hardware 10x weaker. The higher prices are a risky gamble but their profit margins have never been this high so they probaby don't even care if the Switch 2 doesn't sell nearly as much as its predecessor.

"It's fake news", "it's taken out of context", "that's not what he meant", you get the gist.

A lot of the internet has been lost to time already so I actually appreciate this place having this kind of permanence.

He thinks Americans should express gratitude to Musk? For doing what, exactly?

It's not like we stood a chance anyways. Just strap a gun to those Boston Dynamics dogs and we're all doomed.

Well, you could just be an asshole who wants other people to suffer, though that probably also describes many of the people claiming religious reasons to oppose it.

A goose? I was going to say it was one of the animals I could beat in a fight considering how fragile birds are in general.

Ok, I'm sold, let's do this

Which one is Dwarf Fortress?

Yeah, it's disappointing to know some of the things the Lemmy devs support but this being a federated platform means you don't really have to be on Lemmy to interact with the posts and users here. Piefed and Mbin work just as well and are fully independent projects so you could try those instead.

Hate might be too strong of a word but I remember how 12-year-old-me found them hard to watch because their special effects looked dated in comparison to the prequels'.

My favorite is the red-crested cardinal(Paroaria coronata) but I know their chances of becoming Pope are slim because it's very unlikely they'd elect two South-American cardinals in a row.

Also bury me inside it with all of my treasure when it's done, I want to be rich in heaven.

I am all half a Jeremy on this blessed day

I wonder how Plato would have defined man if he knew kangaroos existed.

I realized I couldn't think of a single green mammal so I DDG'd it and it's true. In a nutshell, the pigments that give mammals their colors are limited to warm colors (so no blue or green) and you could also fake a green color by reflecting mostly just green light off you (it's how birds do it) but it seems to be something only feathers and scales are good at, not fur.

I really hope it does the manga justice. It would be a tragedy if people ended up dismissing this series because of a subpar anime adaptation.

Also, don't forget to hit them with a stick periodically so they learn their place. They might develop a deep hatred for humans but that's okay, it's not like they'll revolt and kill us all or anything.

A couple more pictures:

If you think you can stop deforestation in the Amazon by not buying soybeans I have bad news for you. Not only because soybeans are grown everywhere in Brazil but also because there are multiple other reasons why deforestation happens, like illegal logging, mining and cattle raising.
