Very loosely connected would be the Milkman sketch from Monty Python. Especially the end.

Memory fails me, but I want to say that the idea of a re-download finding the end of file and resuming went back even further in history (Zmodem I think was my first exposure to it). The creation of such a miracle was game changing for the very reason OP mentions, along with other interruptions.

It would be a better world if karma was real.

You’ll take your arm off!

Sure, but what is the max weight a typical infant can pull? Maybe they could be used as a canary.

I disagree. They should be cared for until they can walk…they are of no use in the mines before that.

Better wages or find other benefits to attract workers. Being able to advertise health insurance is cheaper than other options, and the coverage doesn’t even have to be great!

Send back a generic Dollar Store congrats card with a $1 bill stapled.

On the subject of returns (Amazon and others) Climate Town just did a video on it, and holy shit. Even knowing the problem the scale is hard to take in.

The realization that we probably wouldn’t change how we are make me a bit glad we missed the chance to be a spacefaring civilization and are screwed here. The universe didn’t need that, one planet ruined is enough.

And there it is. slow clap

“This weapon is OP, it’s not fair to the enemy!”

“No. No, it’s not. Fire.”

Time is by far my favorite. Took listening to it as an adult for it to click, as a kid you were there for the music. Some young adults get it the first time though, and the look on their faces when they do…

Just don’t talk to any police that may call or show up. Because even suggesting that you’re angry at them is enough to give them protection.

Forgot the replies from both the original requester as well as a number of other people who state this didn’t work at all, or isn’t remotely close to what they were asking. The 7 people who marked this as helpful must be other Microsoft “experts” giving their own useless help. And what I really love is how if I get to this page a simple back click won’t get me out, I have to pull down the history to go back to the search page because they have a reload loop built in to trap you.

I’m surprised this distraction is so long-lived. People really are gullible. Perhaps it’s because most people are familiar with McDs but can’t relate to CEO level people, so they’re more willing to join in an attack on something they understand.

For anyone thinking I’m defending McDs somehow…you’re missing the point entirely. Which is interestingly my point…

Capitalistic Christmas began even before Edward Bernays got consumerism rolling.

“Smell that? What’s that smell?”

“Opportunity.”

“No. Money!”

Make Christmas Great Again

The first days of the rush to the fediverse were chaotic, it wasn’t ready for such demand. One of the things lacking was an easy portal to help new users figure out what would work best. The .world instance for whatever reason became the more visible one as more people joined.

You’ve got a few replies to consider - don’t forget that there aren’t just Lemmy instances that see federation, there’s also Mbin (a fork of Kbin) that’s has a different feel to it and can see Mastodon blogs too.

It’s like the story of the frog and scorpion crossing the river.
