snooggumsto News@lemmy.world•Where’s the Beef? Trump Demands Harris Prove She had McJobEnglish7·8 months agoHey, he showed a bunch of manilla folders with stacks of papers that were totally not blank props and lied about divesting or whatever from his private companies that were a clear conflict of interest thrpighout his presidency. That totally counts!
snooggumstoAMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND@lemmy.world•At Trump's request, to avoid "election interference," his sentencing is delayed until after the electionEnglish17·8 months agoWhat a load of bullshit.
snooggumsto Politics@beehaw.org•A new level of incoherence from Trump: the former U.S. President's answer to a specific policy question yesterday made absolutely no senseEnglish11·8 months agoIt is a new level of a news organization directly acknowledging how much word salad he spews instead of treating it as normal.
snooggumsto Futurology@futurology.today•A class of 20 pupils at a $35,000 per year private London school won't have a human teacher this year. They'll just be taught by AI.English5·8 months agopossibly by 2040-50 home schooling via ai tools will be a more common option than other forms of education.
Taught by nuclear powered robots and we will get around in flying cars and have transporter technology and the future will be predicted through quantum computing and someone will have figured out how to heat up a hot pocket that doesn’t burn the roof of your mouth.
snooggumsto Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•Explain like I am a moron. If the US is such apparently a badass super power it has never tried to take over another country to expand its influence and status?English3·8 months agoWe only had one ocean when we bullied Mexico into giving up territory.
We took over multiple islands both east and west of the continental US, which are now territoties and the state of Hawaii.
So no, oceans didn’t stop us when we rrached both coasts.
snooggumsto British Archaeology @feddit.uk•Stonehenge tale gets ‘weirder’ as Orkney is ruled out as altar stone originEnglish9·8 months agoHonestly the best thing for people to keep in mind is that humans were really good at moving giant stones long distances at that point in time so they could come from pretty much anywhere. There is a video on Easter Island statues where they figured out a way to walk the statues down to the water’s edge matching oral tradition descriptions and there is a guy who moves huge blocks multi ton around with a similar technique.
When people did it full time for generations I bet they had even better techniques!
snooggumsto politics @lemmy.world•In an effort to "not show bias" Trump's sentencing is delayed till after the election.English2·8 months agoI agree completely, just wanted to make sure it was clear that he has been convicted.
snooggumsto politics @lemmy.world•In an effort to "not show bias" Trump's sentencing is delayed till after the election.English4·8 months agoJust an excuse to avoid actually holding him accountable for anything.
Putting his ass in jail might harden his base but turn off those who were only party loyal out of tradition and might throw away their vote to a 3rd party. Hell, it might motivate more people to overcome voter suppression and vote for Dems if the system actually does something to hold him accountable. Increased turnout is more important than how hard conservatives mash the Trump button.
snooggumsto politics @lemmy.world•In an effort to "not show bias" Trump's sentencing is delayed till after the election.English13·8 months agoWhile I love the detail and clarity of your posts, it is getting depressing seeing just how little actual progress has been made on holding him accountable.
Keep up the good work so if anything actually happens we will have a reminder that there was something.
snooggumsto politics @lemmy.world•In an effort to "not show bias" Trump's sentencing is delayed till after the election.English7·8 months agoBut if we never get him convicted of any crimes, it won’t matter very much.
Texhnicslly, if we never see him sentenced for his convictions it won’t matter. He has 34 convictions.
snooggumstoBuy Sell Trade@lemmy.sdf.org•Lifesize Michelin Man Blow-up Doll $(133 plus shipping) No Rips No Tears No HolesEnglish14·8 months agoHis hat literally says Stay Puft. Michelin Man does not have a hat or any clothing.
snooggumsto News@lemmy.world•Judge Delays Trump’s Sentencing Until Nov. 26, After Election DayEnglish1·8 months ago“Don’t punish political candidates like normal people” is a shitty reason to avoid justice.
snooggumsto News@lemmy.world•Judge Delays Trump’s Sentencing Until Nov. 26, After Election DayEnglish6·8 months ago“Justice delayed is justice guaranteed” as they say.
snooggumstoBuy Sell Trade@lemmy.sdf.org•Lifesize Michelin Man Blow-up Doll $(133 plus shipping) No Rips No Tears No HolesEnglish18·8 months agoThat is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters, not Michelin man.
snooggumsto Movies@lemmy.world•Studios to Avoid Releasing Movies Around Election Day: “It’s Going to Be a S***show”English10·8 months agoThey should rerelease Civil War (2024) and do a double header with the original Red Dawn.
Red Dawn first of course.
snooggumsto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Did a double take when I saw the nameEnglish5·8 months agoExcept for the whole murder thing.
snooggumsto politics @lemmy.world•Internet picks “werewolf clawing off its own shirt” as new Michigan “I Voted” stickerEnglish3·8 months agoBoaty McBoatface was the rated G version, and didn’t have thr novelty of the Dew campaign. It is probably a close second.
Dub the Dew was just lightning in a bottle (or maybe a can).
Another great example is probably starting a fire only using materials from the environment. Anyone can learn how to do so, but most people never have it come up during their lifetimes!
Someone who knows knapping and how to start a fire is 90% of the way to surviving long term in temperate wilderness. Yeah, building shelter and knowing what to eat are important too, but making sharp things and creating heat are the two things that are make or break in a survival situation.
Speaking of not leaving written records, a large number of cultures had strong oral traditions that passed information down for thousands of years. Oral traditions have the additional benefit of being taught personally, allowing for time to ensure it is actually understood! It does have the danger of being lost when the culture changes significantly.
