These AI generated pics are becoming impossible to spot
  • I read AI and I am focused exclusively on the hands. So much that at first I didn't even see the fire...

  • History repeats itself.
  • We are getting there though. SUVs are already the standard and it's getting worse. Imo SUVs are even worse in some respects. There at least are theoretical use cases for a pickup truck, a SUV is always egotistical bullshit.

  • i still think of you, jim henson
  • Man, I hate you.

  • Queen's Gambit
  • Hmm. New version of chess?

  • Queen's Gambit
  • He is save.

  • To all you outside of the US...
  • This is comparable to a loud family feud carried out on the streets with yelling and throwing stuff at one another and then yelling at the shocked onlookers to move away.

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • True, it wouldn't be enough, This is why Germany still has a lot of coal-fired power station and natural gas power stations, despite huge investments into renewables, and is also investing a lot into wood-fired power stations (imo a really terrible idea). The nuclear plants could still ease the situation by giving a stable basic load that has some planable variability (wind models are getting also better every year and aren't that bad as it is). For now renewables cannot really provide a very stable basic load (at least not here, might be different for other areas).

    There are great concepts to improve all of this with stuff like pumped-storage hydroelectricity, but those cannot be build everywhere and take up a lot of space. It is going forward and I think nuclear power will come to an end eventually. For now, I think they still have their place (and imo Germany acted irrationally by shutting them all down).

    I mean, we've been lucky that France completly fucked their energy sector up (hints towards that nuclear plants probably also won't be the ultimate solution), otherwise we'd have lost a loooot of money and would have had energy prices even worse.

    Here an imo interesting read: https://gemenergyanalytics.substack.com/p/capture-price-of-importsexports-in

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • They don't need to be exclusive. Power generation should be diverse. Otherwise prices will go through the roof on times without wind (happens in Germany). This can lead to higher energy prices in combination with high energy exports.

  • The internet connects people
  • Fanzines were huge in Germany for that reason.

  • The internet connects people
  • Interesting how that channel found a new recipe for something popular. That channel might get big.

  • I'm getting old
  • Wasn't the writing always bad though? (I might be biased, I never liked Star Wars.)

  • Heatwave is no joke...
  • I miss the internet where we tricked our friends into looking at a picture of a man’s gaping asshole

    Tbh, I don't miss that. Neither do I miss spacedicks.

  • Europeans of Lemmy, what places in Europe should foreigners avoid at all cost?
  • I also liked Paris and I've been there twice in summer. People weren't actively going out of their way to be unfriendly to us, so this was great compared to the rest of france.

    Everyone we asked for help did their best to help us, though we have 0 french knowledge. I had very different experiences elsewhere in France (we quickly learned to only speak to arab people outside Paris, if we needed help, worked fine).

    We skipped most touristy places and just had a few relaxing days there both times. So that might also be, why we had a pleasant time in Paris.

  • Gelsenkirchen and Duisburg are kinda famous atm.

  • For Many Greeks, Six-Day 48-Hour Work Week Now Set to Begin July 1st
  • Schäuble is smiling while burning in hell today.

  • Can an entire city have an evil goatee?
  • On your picture she does look somewhat menacing herself.

  • Consequences of Woke
  • Yeah, that tunnel is a shitshow.

  • I can't disagree.
  • The pimps that are trafficking over don't care about stigmas and the women aren't afraid about getting stigmatized, but about getting send back to their home-countries.

  • Meet my 5 year old Tabasco - I already killed her 2 times - just gave her a new chance at live

    Grew her 2019 from seed. She flowered a little late so I took her to my office, where I have a perfect nice south facing office. She produced a ton of peppers. Then I "killed" her (cut her of way down, leaving her no leaves at all) and left her. 2 weeks later she came back. So I started giving her water and nutrients. She grew back and gave (less) peppers in 2020. As I have been on and off in the office (guess we all know why) she wasn't treated as she deserved. At the end of the year, I "killed" her again. She came back again. So I gave her water. I gave her way too little nutrients (I hardly ever was at the office, she was mostly watered by a colleague), I never repotted her. I feel like a monster. She didn't produce peppers. Then suddenly in the fall of 2023 she produced 3 proud little peppers. So, I finally decided to take her back home and just repotted her in a nice, bigger pot and gave her the nutrients and fresh dirt (after 5 years...) she desperatly needed. I am somewhat exited what she will do this year.
