ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.worldto Final Fantasy@lemmy.world•[FF8] The best spot to get early cards0·1 year agooh… wow. My memory has an entirely different view of how this game looked.
ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL about Tetrachromacy, a condition which lets you see more colors. Normal people can see about 1 million colors, while tetrachromats may see up to 100 million. Up to 12% of women may have it.1·2 years agoAccording to about 12 seconds of googling this article feels borderline. This article specifically references a 2010 study that says 12% of women carry the gene however the article fails to mention what the study specifically says. In the opening paragraph if the study it says “However, the existing evidence is sparse and inconclusive.” & “Our results suggest that most carriers of color anomaly do not exhibit four-dimensional color vision, and so we believe that anomalous trichromacy is unlikely to be maintained by an advantage to the carriers in discriminating colors.”
I found three different studies regarding this. One said that it was about 15% of women, one said it was 50% of women and 8% of men. Another said that women with color vision defficiency and mild color blindness might have tetrachomacy effectively rendering the extra cones pointless. ANOTHER study showed that only one person EVER had been diagnosed with Tetrachomacy.
While I really appreciate media that brings to light conditions that the average person might not know about I really dislike articles and media that make things seem way more common then they are and/or portray things as fact that are far more nuanced. We already have enough people self diagnosing themselves or self identifying with abilities/disabilities
Do we have a Confusing Perspective on here yet? This should be the mascot.
I’ve got a gnarly scar developing from a recent injury across my nose that makes it look like I’ve been in more than a few fights.
My cat ran across my face while chasing a fly.
I’m in agreement on this one. Fun image but doesn’t belong here.
Pro tip. If you whisper your request to Alexa it will whisper back to you which will greatly decrease your chances of getting caught setting this up.

I genuinely couldn’t believe what I was reading and was waiting for the “LOL, JK! Pirate everything, they don’t deserve my money and fuck every ad and paid service ine the universe.”
Thank you!
ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Birmingham PhD student guilty of using 3D printer to build ‘kamikaze’ droneEnglish0·2 years agooh no… foaming filaments!?! I have not heard of these and I can hear my wallet crying out from the other room.
ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Birmingham PhD student guilty of using 3D printer to build ‘kamikaze’ droneEnglish0·2 years agoNot for a second do I believe that thing would fly.
For crying out loud 3d printed stuff is HEAVY for anything headed into the skies. The control surfaces look absolutely borked, and what the heck is even going on with that tiny ass propeller.
Go invest in some foamcore and some cheap servos. Use 3d printing for stuff like payload delivery systems or creating molds for fiberglass body layups.
Be warned to anyone who might go check this out.
This is a #VERY NSFW comic.
ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.worldto PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Linus Tech Tips pauses production as controversy swirlsEnglish1·2 years agoAt the time it was worth it for all the exclusives that you would never see on YouTube. Plus my experience was that they served a better video and audio quality than Youtube.
ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.worldto PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Linus Tech Tips pauses production as controversy swirlsEnglish2·2 years agoI was on the fence regarding wether or not to stay subscribed to his YouTube and floatplane.
The “apology” video started to push me towards staying on board until HE LITERALLY SHRUGGED before his apology.
They are talking the talk about doing better, being more accurate, and going over the videos more thoroughly and then they let that COMPLETELY slide? If no one who watched that video ever said “Hey maybe a shrug before your apology might be sending the wrong message?” than there is definitely somethings NG massively wrong at LMG.
The to top things off this Madison stuff comes out of the woodwork?
Yeah, I’m done with LMG. l hope that the talented people who work there either get rid of Linus completely or are able to move on to roles in healthier places.
This has given me an absolute aneurysm. I saved something to show the wife only for it to not be there when I went looking. I found the post the long way and sure enough it was still saved.
Maube it was a glitch…
Unsave and resave. still can’t find it. rinse and repeat.
Eventually found out about the saving order quirk and sure enough all the way at the bottom was the saved post in question.
