For real. I’ve seen recent photos of Tom Cruise where he’s looking raggedly old. A runway PR press pic isn’t at all representative of how a person looks compared to a pic on the street in the middle of a regular day shot by a paparazzi using a telephoto lens when the subject was unaware that their picture was being taken.
Ridiculous meaningless comparison.
And on top of that, it’s totally ok for a person to just live their regular life and not spend tons of life energy trying to look a certain way.
As i said in my original post, “A dumb circuit without even a single chip in it could do that.” Vibration units can literally just respond to voltage. It’s how electrical devices worked before chips, like old pinball machines and old radios. It works just like how a standing fan works - there’s a mechanical motor, and you literally just need to attach plain copper wires onto the motor’s contact points and stick the other ends of the wire into the slots of a wall power outlet.
I don’t think that actually answers OP’s question. If all it does is vibrate then it doesn’t need any software. It presumably just has a single button that turns vibration on/off and maybe cycles through vibration levels. A dumb circuit without even a single chip in it could do that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What plants can take care of themselves and are eco friendly in nyc?English
3·7 days agoGood suggestions, thanks!
A trough or elevated bed or ongoing maintenance isn’t possible in the kind of quick hit unofficial guerilla action that i can do.
The thing that got me thinking it is that I’ve seen years-abandoned pots on nyc rooftops that have wild plants that grew themselves there. So the conditions (whatever they are) can easily support unattended plant life, so the question is which ones will work there that are good for pollinators or the environment?

51·7 days agoZillions of wild plants grow extremely well in unattended planter pots in nyc. They’re all over the place.
And there’s no such thing as “weeds”. A weed just means a plant that grew itself in a spot where a person didn’t want it to be. A weed is just a plant.

When people set out empty planters of soil they always wind up growing lush with random plants. The question isn’t what plants can grow by themselves there, because that does itself. -
My question is what plants can i plant there that would be especially good for the environment?

EDIT:
Actually it turns out they spit out all the water before swallowing. Makes much more sense
Their throat pouch can hold over 3 gallons (13 liters) of water, but they drain the water before swallowing their prey.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why doesn’t a small platform like Lemmy have one big general "melting pot" community?English
15·14 days agoExactly. It’s weird to me that anyone doesn’t view posts this way. It’s the default. It shows you everything, and you just block the small number of communities you actively don’t want to see
College radio and commercial-free independent radio. Streaming over the net of course
So then i still don’t see the joke.

Panel 2: She tries to lift it but can’t
Panel 3: She congratulates
But it seems to be illustrated as being the same barbell in all the panels

Autism@lemmy.world•How can I give up on romantic relationships?English
111·19 days agoAgreed, dating apps were literally designed for this. Mention you have autism in your profile and it should mostly screen out people who would have a problem with that. If you are a guy keep in mind that you will have to do basically 100% of the first contact messages, and 99% of those messages will lead to nothing
