Probably toggleable statistics. So I could choose to see information about people above their heads. Mood, age, name, net worth, and stuff like that. It’d be something I could turn on/off and choose what’s stats I want to see at any given time

I usually look for a recent episode with someone I like or a topic I think is interesting

You may be interested in The Man in the High Castle it’s both a novel by Phillip K. Dick and TV show on Amazon Prime that explores exactly that premise

You could buy a top tier modern deck, a couple of competitive standard decks, or a bunch of pretty good commander decks in Magic:the Gathering

Some more physics things, every planet has a limit on how high the tallest possible mountain is based off their surface gravity, the type of rocks present in the crust, and thickness of the crust. On Earth it turns out that limit is pretty close to Mt Everest’s height. Space is still about 50 miles above Everest so I don’t think humans could build this ramp with our current understanding of physics

If you want to go to space slowly then you can just do what Felix Baumgartner did and take a special type of balloon to get into space. Unfortunately, if you’re not traveling 25,000 mph relative to the surface of the planet, you’re going to fall back to the planet. Just like Felix did

So for physics reasons it doesn’t really matter what technique you’re using to leave Earth. If you’re going to try to go to space successfully, you’re going to have to go a minimum speed of 25,000 miles per hour. That’s called the escape velocity and it’s a different value for every body of mass in space

Technically? You could install a Switch emulator and run a cracked version. But that’s hardly ideal. I haven’t played it but I’ve heard Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is similar and well received

Animal Crossing (New Horizons specifically) is very similar to The Sims and is all about daily life, decorating, and maintaining a household. So I would imagine that could help with daily vocabulary. It might also give you a weird depth on dinosaurs and fish, but that’s an ok problem to have. Likewise Stardew Valley should be similar

I tend to use kanpai as my toast and cheers in place of thanks as an American

Given the general social aptitude of this site I’d say The Perks of Being a Wallflower

For the record the US Treasury does actually physically burn real money. When bills become too degraded, have errors, or generally aren’t fit for circulation they need to be removed. They usually contract with an outside disposal company and the process is overseen by the secret service. Usually biomedical waste services have the necessary secure procedures and equipment to properly incinerate cash

To live an entire life and never snore? Probably not. You’ll probably get sick and stuffed up and snore at some point in your life. Is it possible to generally not snore? Yeah, maintaining healthy weight, good sleep hygiene, not being sick, avoiding allergens, and proper sleeping ergonomics will probably prevent 99.9% of snoring

I’m sorry to tell you this but while Weathering with You, Your Name, and Suzume don’t sexualize kids the head producer does

If possible create local backups from before he let AI go loose. Likewise, save local copies of all of your commits and document all of your commits thoroughly. This way when things start breaking in the future you have documentation that shows that you didn’t submit faulty code, and if the AI changes your work you have proof of what you did. Additionally if it manages to truly break something you get to be the hero and save the project

If you want to go the extra mile I’d pay attention to what your boss submits and either clean it up behind him, or log all of the issues and errors. Option 1 keeps them happy without breaking anything, option 2 lets you make a presentation and argument that vibe coding is bad practice

Generally just add some more work into your general “cover your ass” activities. Alternatively you could gather evidence of the dangers of vibe coding, present your case to your boss, and hope he realizes it’s a bad idea. But this is lemmy and I know we’re not a confrontational bunch

My favorite gif from that series:

Dan Da Dan

You’re gonna carry that weight

Real answer: podcasts. Doughboys, Doughboys Double, Get Played, Get Played Season Pass (can you tell I like Nick Weiger?), Film Reroll, and Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell me

Helpful answer: I like singing along to stuff so that ends up being a lot of 80s/90s pop and alt-rock stuff. CAKE, They Might be Giants, Garbage, Jamiroquai, Vengaboys, a bunch of one-hit wonders. Lately I’ve been on a bit of a trance kick so The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, and Daft Punk are in there too

It’s entirely possible there’s an issue with lemmynsfw.com that either has screwed up federation, or the majority of their content. I’m at work so I can’t investigate right now but I’d bet it’ll be fixed by the end of the day

Deadmau5 was live streaming his music writing process and accidentally recreated Sandstorm doing the same thing
