Probably a bit more than that I’d say.
I mean, over 20 years ago we had a popular tv show called “are you smarter than a 6th grader”.
They’d bring on adults, ask them questions from 6th grade level tests, and see if the contestants could pass. It was a game show.
In an actual educated society, that sounds like the worst idea for a game show. It wouldn’t be challenging, and everyone would win.
Everyone did NOT win.
I signed up for friendica, after 2 decades of having never used facebook.
It’s blank, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
I can’t comment on what the facebook experience is, but I imagine they don’t just dump you onto a blank white page, with zero explaination.
Note that I am NOT defending or endorsing facebook. I’m just saying the decentralized services have work to do before they can fully be reccomended.
I also recently signed up for pixelfed. It took 3 days to login the first time. And I’m still not sure what the point of collections is. But I did upload 4 pictures.
And then there’s Chunky!..he’s dead…
Donkey Kong came out in 1980. I was born in 1983. My hair is grey, my back hurts, and I FEEL like I’m 100 years old. And in this country, we don’t deal with laws or facts. It’s all about how we FEEL.
Therefore, Donkey Kong is 103 years old.
I mean…you say that like we can afford chips…or a couch…or memes.
Thats LITERALLY what police in my area were advertising 10 years ago for a hiring event.
They had fliers for a big hiring event that said “High school diploma not required. Dropouts encouraged to apply”
I remember seeing it and saying “Well this can only end well.” in a very sarcastic tone.
“Are you smarter than a 6th grader?”
“What? That seems like such a low bar to make a whole game show off of. Wouldn’t it have basically a 100% rate of contestants winning? I mean, they’re using adults. Might be a bit more interesting if they use a bunch of 2nd graders that are said to be gifted.”
(Show comes out)
“…so it appears I was wrong, and this country is fucked.”
(Decades go by, and we’re now in present day)
“See? We’re fucked.”
So…RKO Pictures makes king kong. Universal pictures then gets sued by RKO, and Universal argues it’s in the public domain.
Then universal tries sueing Nintendo to protect their IP. Nintendo then shows King Kong is in public domain.
Soooooo…if I make Danky Kang, as a new IP, who wants to bet Nintendo would instantly sue me?
Huh…the barrels are smaller than I thought.
Holy shit. This article was written in 1996??? And STILL no pictures???
…is that your kink?
I don’t even know what you mean by “bedrotting”, but I can tell based on tone to downvote.
it has Linux but masks it so well most people won’t notice or care.
That’s the best sales pitch for linux I’d ever heard!
So companies can track you.
Oh no, I do.
Windows 11: Welcome to mandatory AI.
Welp…linux it is, I guess…
Don’t listen to this guy. Stick your hand in MY bag. There’s no bullet ants in here. Just reach in, and grab the handle inside, and shake it to release the ants.
Yeah girl, shake it real hard! Just like that! Yeeeeaaaahhhhh…
Really feels like the wrong community for this.

Step 1, your new name is Bubba.
Yeah, I had some teachers when I was in school that would just hand you a paper, hand you a book, and that was it.
I legitimately asked why we couldn’t just do this from home if he was just going to put on earphones and watch a portable tv.
I was told “because then we wouldn’t know if you’re cheating”.
I said “cheating how?” (The internet wasn’t a thing yet)
And he said “by looking up the information in another book”
So I said “First of all, what even is the difference between looking it up in a different book as opposed to look it up in this book? And secondly, if you think I’m too lazy to study with THIS book, what makes you think I’d study with a different book??? It’s the same process!”
And thats how I got detention.
