Since I’m a vegetarian, a common question I’ve been asked since I was a kid was “If you were trapped on an island and the only food was meat, would you eat it?”

Or something to that effect. It’s been asked dozens of times to me before and every time it’s asked, the person asking acts like it’s some novel thought experiment I haven’t considered before.

Not only is a situation like that extremely unlikely to ever happen, but if it does, the answer isn’t any more complicated than a yes/no

Another question I hate are all of those “Would you do for X sum of money? No? Then what if we upped the money? What’s the minimum sum you’d do it for?”

The most common example of “repulsive thing” is usually incest. And it’s just an annoying question that isn’t even entertaining to answer.

I just stick a single line of HTML in the address bar and use that as a text editor. It’s just a giant test field taking up the page with a dark background and white text.

Useful if I just want to write text without any need to format it.

Having studied history of world leaders as a bit of a hobby, I’m more biased in that regard

But I’d go with Lester Pearson

Been listening to more of them recently, and songs like Dark Necessities have been stuck in my head lmao

Coldplay is among my favorite bands, absolutely agree there

A lot of people criticize the direction they’ve taken recently, and while I don’t keep up with their newest releases, Viva la Vida is still one of my favorite songs. And other tracks like Paradise, Sky Full of Stars, etc. will always be fun for me to listen to as well

I didn’t know Duran Duran was even disliked lmao

Been listening to Rio by DD as inspiration for a writing piece, and it’s a pretty good song imo

Going through the Red Rising series, which some of my friends praise immensely. Lightbringer just came out, though I’m only just finished Morning Star, book 3/6 in the series. Going to be starting Iron Gold soon. But until them, I’m reading 1984, which I just acquired a nice hardcover copy of.

And even with the apps, you’re still able to pay for premium versions, like Reddit Premium for instance Could be that despite the app costing 0 euros up front, it can’t be labelled truly free because micro-transactions exist

Probably to express that a social media app that is largely unheard of managed to make it onto Austrian top 200 list when Reddit, a far more popular platform, could not.

I don’t know when this meme was originally made, but my boss unironically has this taped to his office door, and it’s glorious

Not bad ideas, I might do one of those two as a first original post for the PCM lemmy 👍

Looking it up online, the subject of Opera being chinese spyware seems to be debated pretty thoroughly, but with no definitive consensus (that I could find at least). Any articles on the subject I could read up on?

I use Firefox myself, so it wouldn’t really impact my internet usage, but I’m just curious about what’s going on with Opera.

Funnily enough, I think the last time I used Opera was the Internet Channel on the Wii way back when, which was powered by Opera lmao

Pretty much the main two that I use as well lmao
