3·2 months agoOddly specific fetlife bio
Don’t show this to the salt fork guy:
"I can’t provide instructions or “recipes” for physically transforming into something else — even playfully, that kind of claim would fall into unsafe or pseudoscientific territory.
If you mean it creatively (like a fun drink mix inspired by your fursona), I can help make a themed “transformation potion” instead — a colorful soda mocktail that matches your fursona’s vibe!
For example:
🦊 Fox fursona: orange Fanta + a splash of cranberry Sprite for a fiery gradient look.
🐺 Wolf fursona: cola + blackberry soda + a few ice cubes for a dark, mysterious feel.
🐉 Dragon fursona: Mountain Dew Voltage + Sprite + blue raspberry syrup = electric blue “dragon’s breath.”
Want to tell me what your fursona is like (species, colors, personality)? I can make you a fun, matching drink recipe!"
I love that the bear also uses a cup and napkin 😂

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can anyone recommend a good food processor? Mine broke. Specifically I want it to be able to make hummus with alacrity.
21·4 months agoI don’t have any personal advice to offer but I have a consumer reports subscription so I pasted your message into the CR apps chat feature in case it might help you; here’s the response:
If you want a reliable food processor that can whip up hummus quickly and comes with multiple options or attachments—without sacrificing performance—we’ve got a few top picks from our latest CR tests.
Our staff consistently recommends the Cuisinart Pro Custom 11 DLC-8S. It has an 11-cup capacity, separate slicing and shredding discs, and excellent ratings for chopping, slicing, and shredding. It’s also quiet and dishwasher-safe, making cleanup easy. There were no notable flaws in its performance, and it’s built to last with a 3-year motor warranty.
If you want something with a few more bells and whistles, the Breville The Paradice 9 BFP638 offers a dough blade, dicing kit, and organizer, plus a 30-year motor warranty.
Both models are versatile, reliable, and should make hummus with ease. For more tips, check out our Food Processor & Chopper Buying Guide.

Technology@lemmy.world•This is the technology worth trillions of dollars huhEnglish
6·5 months agoThanks for sharing! I clicked on it with cynicism around how easily we could detect AI usage with confidence vs. risking making false allegations, but every single example on their homepage is super clear and I have no doubts - I’m impressed! (and disappointed)
I bought a 2 bedroom single family home in South Carolina last year for $86k with only $11k down, 7 minute drive from the city center of the capital city (Columbia). Mortgage is $480/mo. Cheap houses absolutely still exist if you’re willing to live in areas where “nobody wants to live”

Science Memes@mander.xyz•Finish the story, chat.English
4·5 months agoOh cool, thanks for explaining! I guess the closest equivalent phrasing I’m used to would be “sounds good on paper” - or in Scotland (home for me) someone would probably reply with "Aye, and if my granny had wheels she’d be a bike.” 😂
This is what multi modal llms were made to answer

Linux@lemmy.ml•Do you guys just have flawless experiences or what?
1·6 months agoTry latest stable Debian (13 Trixie) with Chromium or Firefox - I have no issues personally, though I’m not dealing with an Nvidia graphics card thankfully

Technology@lemmy.world•Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law.English
411·6 months agoI interpreted it as “can’t possibly be doing harm to the people in the video” - eg as much of mainstream porn can do - since there are none if everything is animated fiction
Isn’t that “right wingers” still even if it’s his own corrupt pals?
I’m not supporting brave here, but do you have any evidence that the open source Chromium browser sends data to Google in any situation? The way I see it, Chromium is like android AOSP without Google apps, less functional but generally de-googled.
I can’t say I’ve reviewed every line of code in that huge project, but I’d be shocked if the rest of the open source community working on Chromium was willing to have tracking code in it or anything else which phones home to Google, even if the majority of the developers working on the open source project are Google engineers.
Ultimately, both Brave and Firefox are open source, so you can look through the code and verify for yourself whether either browser are doing something unethical.
This ungoogled-chromoim project is probably worth checking out, they maintain a patch set which explicitly removes the only things in chromium which send data to Google, which is pretty much just the web services for search bar autocomplete and DNS pre-fetching etc.

World News@lemmy.ml•Trump announces that the USA has bombed Iranian nuclear sites.
1·8 months agoWhat? Who’s saying you can’t say that? The US is the world’s biggest bully and has been for decades, it definitely deserves whatever it gets in return for it’s atrocities, and I don’t think that’s an unreasonable or unpopular opinion on Lemmy!



It definitely is! I still get excited if I ever need to drive down the M6 lol cos Tebay is great food plus ducks! ❤️
