Come on now, you guys are the real celebrities!

I would say more like a Harley Quinn.

You’re right. Those are active cables which I forgot to mention earlier that have special circuits that amplify signals, but are also a lot more expensive as a result.

Pssh. Celebrities on social media, who needs them anyway.

You could always buy more copies of “Barbie” on Blu-ray for Christmas.

Just saying.

That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

Also, thank you.

If you want a more detailed explanation, USB-C is a small connector that was designed primarily for data transfer, extended power range delivery (240w) was essentially hacked on to the standard. Electricity arcing between the contacts on the connector is the biggest challenge with this hack, since the contacts are small and very close together, which could burn out the circuit board and start fires. For EPR to work safely, there needs to be a lot of extra components on the circuit board/female connector side, which there simply isn’t enough space for on an f2m extension cable.

As for why USB-C cables are so short, it’s simply a matter of physics, carrying high speed data over larger distances would result in higher losses and requires thicker conductors and more shielding, which is why you don’t see USB4 Gen3 cables over 1 meter unless they are optical, and longer “charging cables” are only rated at USB 2.0 speeds, because more often than not they don’t even have the USB 3.x data pins on their connector.

Again, I bet it’s Ryan Gosling who did this.

What a beautiful award acceptance speech.

They should get you to host the Golden Globes next year.

Dear lemmings:

If this is the Golden Lemmy Awards, then why does the winner recieve a Lemmy Silver?

Curious.

It’s pretty clear to me many people here have never either had general anesthesia or talked to anyone who had, you can’t really time funny one-liners right before you pass out.

Here’s how it works:

They’ll put a mask with a rubber tube in your mouth for oxygen, and tell you to relax and count back from 10, so you start counting impatiently(it’s boring, and there is nothing else to do), wondering when the surgery is going to start.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Now the anesthesiologist is in front of you, checking on you to see if you’re OK. “But I haven’t finish counting down yet, when is the surgery going to start?” You ask them.

“It’s already over”, they explain.

Then you realize you are in a completely different room, the tube is no longer in your mouth, but you feel so weak you can hardly move, and the stitches/staples around your new surgery wound is starting to itch.

It’s like a segment of your life was cut out and erased into nothingness.

Instead of using a search engine or reddit, have you tried asking the real and friendly people here for an answer?

I did this to prove a point. You can check it out, crushed peanut or flaxseed seem popular.

The answers on reddit didn’t magically appear out of thin air. Instead of lamenting about the lack of answers on Lemmy, asking here will get you a good answer real quick.

If you want to see where the conservatives moved to, go to scored.co. (formerly thedonald.win). The worst thing about them isn’t limited to the unhinged garbage they spew, but that they are just such bores.

It’s so awful in every way imaginable that it makes me appreciate what we have here even more.

Pour one out for the OG.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m just your average Hollywood celebrity here to promote my new movie “Barbie”, only in theaters July 21st.

Here is what you can do: make a bet with her on things that she think is going to happen in a certain timeframe, tell her if she’s right, then it should be easy money. I don’t like gambling, I just find it easier to convince people they might be wrong when they have to put something at stake.

A lot of these crazy YouTube cult channels have gotten fairly insidious, because they will at first lure you in with cooking, travel, and credit card tips, then they will direct you to their affiliated Qanon style channels. You have to watch out for those too.

If you insist on trying to turn us all miserable and hateful again, then I think you should leave.

Time and time again, it has been proven that “absolute free speech” online just attracts the absolute worst kind of people.

I did expected them to fail immediately, but this is way funnier than I expected. They either need to start banning immediately and start throwing money at celebs to use Threads, otherwise no one mainstream will ever advertise there.

It just feels so weird to have big threads with good fresh discussions going on hours after the post.

Not to say there isn’t an occasional asshole here and there during this wave, but I don’t think reddit has ever felt like this at any point.
