Kagi’s pretty good and has a Fediverse search feature, but it’s paid. I don’t mind paying, but there’s also no way to do private searches that way, so I’m not going to use it as my main search engine. It’s been good at hunting down memes on Lemmy that I want to find again though.

The trick is that they haven’t read it either, tankies just copy/paste stuff with titles that sound nice

I’d recognize those chins anywhere! This is from Jungle Comics #004. Fletcher Hanks has a very distinctive style, now that I’ve read his stuff due to this community, I can spot it a mile away.

I mostly care about how much caffeine I get, which I understand to be the same regardless of how much ice there is. Generally, small or medium is 2 shots of espresso, and a large is 3 shots.

A family member had a deposit down on a Cybertruck and was ready to buy one. They canceled their deposit and bought a different EV because of how much they despise Elon now, so it’s not just sour grapes from people that couldn’t/wouldn’t buy one anyways.

Correct!

“farleft” is a fine crossword answer. Equating “far left” with “extremely liberal” is pretty silly IMO though. A much better hint would’ve been “Political faction advocating for radical social change” or something like that

The clue is “Involuntarily made noise while laughing, perhaps”, so sure

Notably, someone links to this critique:

https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/01/controversial-fluoride-analysis-published-after-years-of-failed-reviews/

The study, published in JAMA Pediatrics, is a meta-analysis, a type of study that combines data from many different studies—in this case, mostly low-quality studies—to come up with new results. None of the data included in the analysis is from the US, and the fluoride levels examined are at least double the level recommended for municipal water in the US. In some places in the world, fluoride is naturally present in water, such as parts of China, and can reach concentrations several-fold higher than fluoridated water in the US.

The authors of the analysis are researchers at the National Toxicology Program at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. For context, this is the same federal research program that published a dubious analysis in 2016 suggesting that cell phones cause cancer in rats. The study underwent a suspicious peer-review process and contained questionable methods and statistics.

Thanks, I hate it. Wanted to reflexively downvote 👌

One can hope 🤞

Good timing, I was just wondering about the API and posted a question over there 👍

read that wrong and put my life savings into dogecoin, now what?

Good call, edited to add a warning

Somebody isn’t sanitizing their inputs properly. Like putting a bandaid on a heart attack

I don’t know of any academic literature on this, but you might find Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow interesting:

Disney World is run by rival adhocracies, each dedicated to providing the best experience to the park’s visitors and competing for the Whuffie the guests offer. In the post-scarcity world of the novel, Whuffie is a currency-like system that primarily measures the esteem of others, or in the case of extremely low Whuffie, their disdain.

As well as The Culture series. The author wrote some background for the series, and touches on reputation:

The Culture doesn’t actually have laws; there are, of course, agreed-on forms of behaviour; manners, as mentioned above, but nothing that we would recognise as a legal framework. Not being spoken to, not being invited to parties, finding sarcastic anonymous articles and stories about yourself in the information network; these are the normal forms of manner-enforcement in the Culture. The very worst crime (to use our terminology), of course, is murder (defined as irretrievable brain-death, or total personality loss in the case of an AI). The result - punishment, if you will - is the offer of treatment, and what is known as a slap-drone. All a slap-drone does is follow the murderer around for the rest of their life to make sure they never murder again. There are less severe variations on this theme to deal with people who are simply violent.

In a society where material scarcity is unknown and the only real value is sentimental value, there is little motive or opportunity for the sort of action we would class as a crime against property.
