I’ve pulled one of those wireless trimmers apart when it quit working. I found a rechargeable AA battery soldered in there.

Ha, good luck with that, Reddit.

There is no way this could go down that would not immediately get turned into either a new theory or used as evidence of a theory already in existence.

I am now even more interested in seeing this movie. That’s the exact impression I got from the trailer, that they managed to really dive into the world of Barbie and make an unforced narrative that makes sense for that world in a very aware way.

It starts like that and then the people running scripts and other power players take over

And widely known. Once it’s started, most people know what you’re going for.

I think this is a good thing. This place is a gem that is hard to find and not fitting for everyone.

It would be news, and even harder to believe as real news.

Yeah, I’m having trouble seeing this as real news.

Signal with 2 people who actually moved there with me, standard messages app that came with Samsung for most people, and Facebook Messenger Lite for anything that works better there, or contacting people who I’m not close enough with to get their phone number.

I see “but it does gps!” As an excuse in favor of the oversized screens. But a heads up display, reading aloud turn by turn directions, or even a set of lights to indicate where you should go would do the same thing better

And I’d like to have a word with them… About how good their idea is!

That’s a great start. I am dreaming of some kind of a full dashboard and center console replacement. While I’m at it, I may as well dream of having the money to afford a car that would be new enough to need such an upgrade plus be able to afford the upgrade itself.

I think the driver should definitely have radio controls, just not through a touch screen. Passenger touch screens should be for their entertainment and their own heating/cooling settings. I think the passenger controls should have nothing to do with the way the car drives and handles, or headlights, wipers, anything like that.

My opinion is that touch screens should be for passengers only. Display screens are fine, but if physical buttons are so unacceptable, then we need voice control that actually works.

Also, I’m surprised no one has started a company to retrofit buttons and switches into modern cars. Whatever kind of headache that would be to design and install, I’d like to see it work.

same. Pick coordinates and what to say. I’ve seen Kbin.com and lemm.ee suggested as short and to the point banners that could be more doable in the chaos of r/place

If there can be a consensus between switching to lemm.ee or Kbin, I’d love to lend my pixel to either of those.

Oh man, so many awesomely awful jokes came in this format. Best source of dad jokes around, I miss that meme

I think if a thing like Place were made for Lemmy, it would need to be so different to fit the values of the Fediverse that it would need a new name. Different rules, different way of interaction, different output.

I use it kind of like WD-40 in a farm setting. It’s messy, but not as messy as grease. It’s effective to coat things that constantly wear and have started to rust. I also rub it on my leather boots to waterproof it for cheap.

I’ve been wishing for such a thing for a long time. That looks great!
