It’s their way of informing you of what happened while you were under anesthesia, without the awkward conversation.

slakje@piefed.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?English3·3 days agoBoth. I add my own personal style into outfits that are appropriate for the event I am going to and for the season. I do like the extra attention that comes from dressing a bit fancier, but not at the expense of my comfort and I own very few things that require special care or maintenance.
slakje@piefed.socialto Europe@feddit.org•Research: AI language models such as ChatGPT discriminate against East GermansEnglish4·4 days agoI thought you were making a clever pun with “ost” before the edit.
slakje@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You wake up as a random 10-year-old in 2002 with your memories intact. In your hand is a USB drive with a backup of Wikipedia as of Jan 1 2025. You must keep your identity secret. What do you do?English8·5 days agoI would just be happy to have a re-start at life and a chance to make better choices. Enjoy simpler times, get a head start on hobbies and passions, see my favorite bands that are no longer around :)
Eventually I would invest in things which would earn me a safety net and extra income (hard to do that as a 10 year old), but not in companies that go against my values. I don’t need to get rich but I would like enough to be able to benefit my loved ones and community. Not the most ambitious, but practical.
There are probably a couple of them who would be envious that they didn’t have the opportunity while they were alive. (Not a defense of AI girlfriends, just a joke and semi-relevant meme)
slakje@piefed.socialtoShowerthoughts@lemmy.world•If the butthole had evolved in a place you could see, hemorrhoids wouldn't existEnglish24·7 days agoHemorrhoids are caused by excessive pressure in the veins around the anus and not because they just like to come out when you’re not looking lol.
Besides, people walk around with all kinds of visible swelling/irritations on other body parts all the time when they can’t immediately treat them.
slakje@piefed.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is a Dumb Phones paired with Smartphone possible?English6·7 days agoI don’t see why you couldn’t have two separate devices - a basic smartphone that has only the apps you need for work (and no other personal information on it such as photos, contacts, etc.) and a “dumbphone” for personal use.
You can use the smartphone without a SIM card if you don’t need to receive calls or texts (some authenticators only require you to enter a code in their app instead of calling or texting you). There are also VOIP and virtual numbers you that you can use on that device if you need call and text features without giving away your personal number.
I like the rugged CAT dumb phones and believe Nokia still makes decent ones.
Was is Crimson Room or one of its follow-ups?
slakje@piefed.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine?English10·17 days agoI did a quick search online for caffeine-free energy drinks and saw a brand called Sparking Ice mentioned a few times as having variants without caffeine, as well as Monster Unleaded.
Monosaccharide mommy is what I aspire to be.
That’s a more positive answer than “handlebars”, so let’s assume “yes”.
Just about anything creative: music, art, writing. It doesn’t stop me from trying, but it’s clear the creative vision or raw talent that some others have is missing.
