Nothing too serious, i want to hear your petty, your eccentric, your off beat takes.
Microphone is shorted to “mic” not “mike”.
Whoever invented jetskis and didn’t call them boatorcycles seriously fucked up
I now can’t help but completely agree, that would have been so much better
Instagram really should be a weed delivery app.

That’sa valid concern, we’re here for the inconsequential stuff.
Fully agree though.
So what is the cycling part of it? Just curious 😇
They were originally called Water scooters
Why not wooter scooters?
Splashy vroom vrooms.
Isn’t JetSki a trademark? Like either Kawasaki or Yamaha’s brand name for them? Kind of like Polaris and Seadoo (and their snowmobile Skidoo, which my Alaskan college roommate insisted was pronounced “skiDOO” with a short i and not “SKEE do”
Jet Ski is a registered trademark for Kawasaki.
Why are people who drive motorcycles are called “bikers”? Somebody screwed that up.
If it doesn’t function as a downspout, then it’s a grotesque, not a gargoyle.
YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable numeric date format and should be the standard taught in schools.
Understanding an argument doesn’t mean you agree with it.

Adding fries to a dish in a (good) restaurant means you didn’t make a complete dish and just added the fries to add carbs/fill people.
-
On that same note: just a piece of meat (steak, spareribs or smth like that) is not a full meal (and don’t you start about adding fries and a salad)
-
a restaurant is only as good as its vegetarian dishes (some exceptions apply, like restaurants that focus exclusively on meat)
Ironically, I am not a vegetarian ;)

No one would ever make fun of British food again if the Anglosphere was more aware of Dutch food.
Good french fries don’t need ketchup
Vehicle mileage is an antiquated and terrible metric for tracking vehicle health. Engine hours and heat cycles are more accurate.
We should continue to gently correct spelling and grammar mistakes online.
The calendar should be 13 4-week months that always end on Sunday.
The leftover day should be considered a worldwide holiday.
Any time there is a leap year situation, all that time gets added to this one day, like the injury time at the end of a soccer/football match.
Dark mode should be the default on phones, websites, programs, apps, and all electronics.
My AMOLED screen draws less power this way.
I’ve hit an age where I’ve gone from Dark Mode Is Life to switching between them depending on lighting levels and display quality. There are times when dark mode is almost painful.
same here. I still prefer dark mode, provided it is designed with it in mind from the get go.
Yeah. And it probably depends on how much time you spend outside
As little as possible thank you very much. Outside has people!
shudder
I don’t really care what’s default, but 10 years of prison to anyone who doesn’t offer both! And an easy way to switch between the two that doesn’t require digging through menus.
Most laptops and computer monitors are LCD (by an extremely large margin)
Dark mode draws MORE power that way because people turn their screen brightnesses up to see anything. Meanwhile I can use light mode on my computer during the day with screen brightness on 5% and see just fine. Less eye strain too with a soft cream background or even beige and black text.
Plus then my eyes don’t get burned up when browsing to an app or website that doesn’t have built in dark mode support.
The dark reader Firefox extension is for you. It makes every website darkmode.
I literally can’t read white on black text.
I don’t know why anyone likes it.
as a dark mode enjoyer, as I grow older I found that I prefer not pure black for the background, and not pure white for the text. sometimes google did well in the case of material UI guideline in the beginning. they set that the background is almost black gray and the text some kind of offwhite IIRC. Back then I disliked it but now I understand the decision.
if a website or app is designed with dark mode in the first place I found that it is a lot more calming to me to look at it a long time. although for eink and similar technology displays, I still prefer traditional black text In white.
I can read black on white text but it hurts my eyes immediately and will sting for maybe a couple minutes afterwards. It doesn’t have to be AMOLED — grey or dark beige or amber or whatever can work — so long as it isn’t really bright.
It didn’t used to bother me on CRTs, but I do not want a flat panel blaring large screens of white at me.
Not inconsequential. Dark mode is unpleasant to read for people with astigmatism. That’s 1/3rd of the US.
I have that in both eyes and I still prefer dark mode.
Same
That’s depends on levels of astigmatism tbf, dark mode is pretty an accessibility issue
. . . Shit. Do I need to change away from dark mode? I highly prefer it but I do have mild astigmatism…
Do what you prefer, my friend. I also am cursed with astigmatism but much prefer dark mode.
Nah not really, it won’t make it wkrse or anything, it’s just that some astigmatic people have more problems with dark mode or it’s straight up unuseable
people with astigmatism
…and no proper glasses?
Astigmatic people can still have some issues with glasses, especially ones with more acute astigmatism
Eg:
It isn’t this strong for everyone, ofc
Night time without corrective lenses is so pretty. Every light is a wide star, cars ahead are two red stars overlapping
What? I have astigmatism and never ever had this problem.
Got both eye astigmatism and glasses for 20 years, dark mode forever.
My lemmy is AMOLED black with blue text, no difficulty at all
Contrast is what matters.
walruses should be called saber-toothed seals
Only if sabre tooth tigers are renamed walrus tigers also.
This sounds reasonable

Pineapple on pizza is great. Here in Poland we call it havaii pizza
People who cannot return a shopping cart to a proper location should not be able to use said shopping cart.
