We didn’t used to have left handed people either — we just had right handed people with really shitty handwriting…

Not really though — from NPS:

The hottest air temperature ever recorded in Death Valley (Furnace Creek) was 134°F (57°C) on July 10, 1913. During the heat wave that peaked with that record, five consecutive days reached 129° F (54°C) or above.

I think the dinosaur moment would be more of a global phenomenon, e.g., rising ocean temperature. My understanding is that Death Valley is obscenely hot with or without humans. The rising ocean temperature and melting ice caps, on the other hand…🦖🌎💥

Hilarious to me that it OCRs the text. The text is generated by the computer. It’s almost like when Lt. Cmdr. Data wants to get information from the computer database, so he tells the computer to display it and just keeps increasing the speed — there are way more efficient means of getting information from A to B than displaying it, imaging it, and running it though image processing!

I totally get that this is what makes sense, and it’s independent of the method/library used for generating text, but still…the computer “knows” what it’s displaying (except for images of text), and yet it has to screenshot and read it back.

Guy buying condoms? He’s hoping to get some.

Guy buying tampons? He’s definitely getting some.

Having survived grad school and then some without a dishwasher, I will never look at loading/unloading the dishwasher as a chore; it is a privilege to do so (and is always followed by a heartfelt Thank You to that most selfless of appliances).

How about we give parents one extra vote per child.

But they have to wait 18 years to use it.

And they can’t directly use it, it’s more that they get a delegate of sorts.

And this delegate — let’s call them, I dunno, their kid “offspring voter” — isn’t legally bound to vote one way or another.

And how about this person votes in a manner that in some way reflects how they were raised, and their worldy experiences — possibly voting exactly as the parents would, or possibly exactly opposite, or anywhere in between.

I think there are examples of projects getting criticized for not recreating the corposhit. Take GIMP — sure some folks really like it, but there are huge swaths of people who basically just say, “why doesn’t it work like Photoshop?!” and get very frustrated with its different approach.

Personally, I like Google Photos — the interface, not the product — so when Immich came along and basically cloned it, I was really happy (I think Immich is fantastic, and at this point calling it a Photos clone is kinda offensive tbh — it’s way cool).

Some corposhit just sucks, yeah, but some is actually well thought out — no shame in taking the concept and running with it, IMHO.
