Focalto Science@mander.xyz•People Believe If 90% Prefer A over B, A Must Be Much Better than B. Are They Wrong?2·8 days agoHmm. You just had me thinking if that’s true or not. I think money is an interesting thing. Inherently, it has no value, it’s not rare, it’s not useful. It is only useful because we as a society believe that it now has value. But that’s more of a “we all decided that money is now worth something.” Like… a question of definition.
Another is safety. A society that believes they’re safe will probably have a lot less tension and infighting than a society that believes they’re unsafe.
On the other hand, you might erroneously believe that a bike helmet makes you much safer in traffic, to the point where you may ride more recklessly than otherwise and therefore be less safe than if you hadn’t worn a helmet…
I’d say the Nordics are pretty developed, along with Spain and Ireland.
But your point is very clearly made, I’ll give you that. The map really put things into perspective
Had to double check when I read this. Zoomed in super close, and the second to last panel actually has a veeery faint outline of a new path
Focalto Stop Drinking@lemmy.world•The Daily Check-in for 7 July 2025 - just for today, we are not drinking!English5·12 days agoYo, just wanna say, I think you guys are fucking cool! Keep up bettering yourselves! You can do it!
Focalto News Summary@hilariouschaos.com•Death toll from Texas floods rises to 82, dozens still missingEnglish3·13 days agoNot to get into it, but I think “Womp Womp” is supposed to be a sound effect conveying that something bad has happened. You might be mistaking it with “Woop woop” which is celebratory.
In the case of “womp womp” though, lots of people are using it sarcastically. Kind of like a “boo hoo, too bad, so sad”-kinda way… so… While not necessarily celebrating, I don’t think they’re too upset either.
Is that fuckin’ Tetris sphere from the N64?! That’s sick regardless
I’m gonna say FunnyJunk. It’s mostly right wing memes and downvotes if you say anything close to “I don’t think this Trump gut has it all figured out”

For once, I actually managed to understand one. I’m terrible at these normally. Like yesterday’s with “Farmer’s Tan” and whatever? Couldn’t do it. Today, I felt smart :P
Coming from someone who has never watched a single PewDiePie video, other than that one clip you’re mentioning…
I’m trying to see the positives here. It’s been a while since he said the n-word on that bridge, and right now he seems to be using his platform to do good instead. I want to think that this is a good step towards making up for past mistakes.
I’ve started using Nobara recently, and I like it a LOT. Makes it really easy for a noob like me to both play games and edit videos. I actually made a Monster Hunter video entirely in Linux with Davinci Resolve, and it worked really well. I’ve been an adobe tool my entire editing life, but I really like the switch I recently made :)
Focalto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•US officials forced to share bald JD Vance meme by denying tourist’s claim he was denied entry over photoEnglish228·23 days agoA Norwegian newspaper got to see his letter of denial and it didn’t list drug use at all. Rather they said he tried to enter the country to get a job illegally.
At this point, CBP’s story keeps changing, and I don’t trust anything they say.

Man who opens a conversation with a stranger like that?!
Focalto News@lemmy.world•YouTube star Mikayla Raines dies by suicide at 29, husband blames online abuse191·25 days agoThere are a scant few people who deserve to be bullied for their actions of hurting others. Mikayla was NOT one of them. How someone can bully someone who is doing their best to help make the world better… I can never understand.
I saw people saying that she made a lot of mistakes that could have been avoided, and while that may be, at least she did something about it, unlike so many others.
Focalto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Does a game key card cart have to be in the Switch to play the game or is it not needed after the game has been redeemed?English1·1 month agoThanks. I had hoped it’d be the cart itself
Focalto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Does a game key card cart have to be in the Switch to play the game or is it not needed after the game has been redeemed?English1·1 month agoDoes it write to the card, or does it just write to your storage?
To me, it has to be Gordon Freeman. He represents Valve, and I can’t think of a gaming company more linked to PC gaming than Valve.
I adore king’s quest, space quest and all these classics. Same with Monkey Island, but when it comes to… Well, mascot sounds wrong. Figurehead may be better here, I think Gordon’s ties to Valve gives him a pretty strong case for PC gaming icon.
The goose from untitled goose game doesn’t feel like a PC gaming mascot to me since it’s a single game that’s also on almost every console.
I totally get it. Thanks for offering your perspective :)
I appreciate it a lot. I hate that Israel is considered “controversial” instead of unanimously awful, but that’s a conversation for another day.
This is damn clever!
