The car is efficient enough for it to do something (20-30 miles a day in summer if I remember), but yes it’s mostly marketing and they say as much. “Solar electric car” sounds a lot better than “this car is pretty normal but it’s super efficient”

I think the general absurdity of it, plus you’re never quite sure where they’re gonna go.

For example:

It’s part of the appeal

Fun fact: your left eye doesn’t go only to your right brain. The left half of your field of vision in your left eye goes to your right brain. Same with the right half of your left eye, and your right eye is split up similarly. How nuts is that?

Self landing rockets is a great thing to cheer about!

But also people cheered for a guy eating cheese balls so you may have a point.

Shit I have to up my game

He meant saying that non-verbally

Doubt it, the truck doesn’t say “CVEVORLETTE” on the bumper

That must feel so strange

And… spiky?

Dude is all neck and legs

We got some weirdos in the comments

This is hilarious

Many are suffering, and it’s not in a good state right now. But it also means being strategic about it. The issue with the right and far right is that many people who hold those beliefs have a common goal and are unified in it (even if it’s because their candidates are somewhat less popular as therefore there is only one).

There was a candidate in 2016 that was very liberal and had good intentions, but many saw him as too liberal. Enough voted for him that it split the democratic votes between two candidates and Trump won, so yes unfortunately we do have to think about opposing the other side instead of just voting for who we like best as individuals. Did I mention the two party system sucks?

Only those unfortunate enough to be living the “American dream” need to.

Did I mention I want to move to Europe

We know it’s bad. The point is that we unfortunately have to choose the lesser of the two evils, like it or not.

Hell yeah, a Lemmy poet!

Yeah. That’s my issue with it as well

You can get Gboard on an iPhone… it isn’t the same but the autocorrect is less heavy-handed.

Speaking of which, if you ever try swipe typing on the default iOS keyboard, try swiping “purple woman”. Probably comes out fine. Then try “black woman” or any color that could be a skin tone and I bet it won’t come out right. Mine used to change the first word retroactively which was… bad. So for example “black woman” would become “blank woman”, “block woman”, “Bosch woman”, etc.

They seem to have fixed it somewhat but now it always capitalizes Woman for me and refuses to act normal. Just a fun tidbit.

I like the animations for the most part. The only time it gets annoying is when I misclick and have to wait for the animation of shame to complete lol

I wish there was something solid like the zen phone 9 when I was looking to buy a new phone. I went with the iPhone 13 pro hoping it would last me at least 5 years, since Apple tends to be pretty good about their software longevity. I like android but I wasn’t about to switch to a Samsung because I just don’t like the weird “look we made our own app, now you have two browsers!”
