I could gladly listen to a song 5000 times, but when Spotify stops shuffling my playlist and plays the same 15 songs on repeat every day for a month I start to notice and get a little bothered! Don’t get me started on enhanced shuffle, either

It’s alright now, thanks for the suggestion though! The provider was just having awful outages

I actually had starlink a while back, the latency was worse than my 5G/4G box so I didn’t stick with it

I live up on a mountain but I get 4G and 5G service, so my Internet is one of those 5G boxes. It’s usually pretty fast, but recently it’s been chugging along (luckily only for a handful of minutes at a time before going back to normal for a while)

Yeah but only about 20 seconds

Latency in my life is CRAZY

My Internet is so slow right now that this picture took like 20 seconds to finally appear

The chortle when I finally saw it was absolutely worth it

I don’t think there are that many ads, even if there were you could easily get rid of them by buying my cool Lemmy adblock that uses AI to recognize clever product placement and cover it up with a picture of dirt!

I’m American and always thank the staff pretty much no matter where I am, I don’t think I get puzzled looks

Maybe it was the location (I’m in Tennessee, for example) or your accent (assuming you have an Australian accent)

“we found your fingerprints on the body”

Yeah I may have reached my hand inside and felt around a little my bad

They tried making SpeedScript but big programming decided it was too fast for its time and shut it down

Hey! As a person who used to use reddit but got tired of how terrible it was then moved to the first Lemmy instance I could find, I… Agree? I’m not really sure.

I can kill a mosquito by clapping my hands

The pig would probably think I’m petting it or something

Edit: for the record I mean no ill will, I just thought it was funny to say because well, mosquitos are tiny!

YES

Don’t forget “getting 1 response to your comment”!

I had a laptop a while back with a fingerprint scanner that would work for one day, then stop working completely. I reinstalled the drivers, and it would work for a day and then stop again. I eventually gave up using the fingerprint scanner until I “upgraded” the laptop to Windows 11, and it worked again. No idea if it still works, since I rarely use that laptop now

You could either have the world’s worst luck, or you are genuinely cursed

Alternatively, you keep spilling coffee on your devices and going into a blind fit of cleaning rage that blocks out the memory of the original coffee spill

Maybe garage is just a class styling for a generic “room” After all, it’s got 4 walls and a few doors

I learned how to flintknap a little, and it was super fun. I heard buying rocks can be expensive if you don’t live near where they’re plentiful, but what hobby doesn’t get expensive? I went to the class with my brother in law and he got absolutely lost in the sauce working on his flint, and didn’t talk to anyone else there

It can be tiring but it’s definitely fun seeing what you’ve made (even if you’re not very good at it like me) and besides, you get to say you’re hitting rock/buying rock so there’s even more fun to be had!

No, it looks like something Windows automatically added to their chrome to enforce Bing, unless something changed recently and I didn’t know about it

How else are you going to fit the entirety of a piano, to scale, on your screen?

Rockstar making GTA online be like: “Computer, here is a 512mb json file please download it from the server and then do nothing with it”

Just like that AI powered rice cooker…

…that cooks rice exactly the same way every other rice cooker does
